When he was touring for this the videos were up on the wall and was actual footage of a bunch of places at the venue, the bathrooms, hallways, etc. The detail is so amazing in his shows.
Trent Reznor is 50 fucking years old, hes been a one man band for practically 30+ years and is as good as he was when he started, he is easily one of, if not thee, best artist ever. Doesnt matter if you like the genre or not , Van halen cant say that, ACDC cant say that, Paul Mccartney sure as hell cant say that
Pigeonlarva magoo I was referring to him being an, in essence, one-man band across different genres and eras of music. He's been the key member of Pendulum and Knife Party- not the same genre, but it's the idea you're trying to convey that I get behind. I suppose a better comparison in electronica is probably Simon Posford as a single artist for 20 some years and across multiple groups; in Hallucinogen, Shpongle, Younger Brother and others. It's not that it's debatable that Trent Reznor is a marvel of the semi-modern music world, I'm just identifying with an idea I've had with other producers of music I also listen to.
I didn't give Year Zero the attention that this album deserved. It seemed like a lot of fans didn't, yet listening to it now, it has the sound of an amazingly good album. These songs are also very revealing of the state this world is in. And just how angry we should feel. We are living in a world that is upside down and it is frightening. Art Is Resistance.
@Gary White Alright, came back to this vid because the 4th of July. It's a good tune. But 2 quick things, because for some reason there's this little tickle at the back of my head to write this. Taking the modern Canon into account, the bible is alleged to be two thousand years old, not one thousand. (It is in fact older by a few hundred years, as earlier drafts are a hodge-podge of folk works.) And secondly, that's not quite how the burden of proof works. You are asking him to prove a negative. "Prove that this *isn't* true" The burden of proof works quite the opposite, you have to prove that something *is* true, or at least that the claim you are putting forwards has strong supporting evidence that both connects the provided information, logically holds together, and in strong models, can be used to make consistent predictions regarding behavior/patterns.
I always considered Year Zero to be his most underappreciated album. It's very Orwellian mixed with this soundtrack that's perfect for any cyberpunk themed project. I use to listen to this album when I was living in San Francisco and no other music couldn't have fit the tone of the city any better than this sound.
when i listen this album i thought the world was going to end that year. The experience of listening Year Zero when i was 18 was very scary, but an incredible experience.
I remember when his song was released, and NIN fans HATED it. At the time it topped "Worst NIN songs" lists regularly. I on the other hand loved it. The intensity and violence of the nature, the seemingly nonsense lyrics and the feeling of paranoia throughout was unlike anything I had heard. Like a lot of masterpieces the fans have grown to love it over time, and hearing it live in 2013 was unreal, especially with those backup singers who just rocked the night!!!
I think this was my favorite lineup. Twiggy, Aaron North and Josh Freese playing for NIN - awesome. Got to see them live in 2007. They really kicked ass.
lyrics for anyone who wants em : I should have listened to her So hard to keep control We kept on eating, but Our bloated belly's still not full She gave us all she had, but We went and took some more Can't seem to shut her legs Our mother nature is a whore I got my propaganda I got revisionism I got my violence In hi-def ultra-realism All a part of this great nation I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism Hypnotic sound of sirens Echoing through the street The cocking of the rifles The marching of the feet You see your world on fire Don't try to act surprised We did just what you told us Lost our faith along the way And found ourselves believing your lies I got my propaganda I got revisionism I got my violence In hi-def ultra-realism All a part of this great nation I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism All bruised and broken, bleeding She asked to take my hand I turned, just keep on walking But you'd do the same thing in the circumstance I'm sure you'll understand I got my propaganda I got revisionism I got my violence In hi-def ultra-realism All a part of this great nation I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism You got your pacifism - I got survivalism
I still remember eating a bowl of cereal and watching tv in the early morning about to get ready for school and seeing this music video. Was blown away.
So in 2007 while Marilyn Manson was pretending to be a seductive vampire, Twiggy was with Reznor living in a dystopian America dodging the SS. Goddamn.
This was the first song from NIN I’d ever heard, back when they used to air these music videos on TV in the 2000’s. I’d never heard anything like it at the time as a kid, still on heavy replay for me
Im a fan of this album, definitely stands out in its uniqueness. I was going through a pretty big shift at that time and this helped push it through. An album of strength.
We're well into what was Year Zero, in another time and place. We made it farther into this year than they did, no nuclear exchanges, no signs of a giant Hand reaching down through the sky. ...And yet, with the way things are going, you still tend to worry.
Love reading the comments 4 years apart about how this is 'relevant' again..... If right and left both agree on the relevance of this album and that agreement seems to transcend time, then maybe.... just maybe.... we can finally agree on who the enemy really is.
With the rise of the GOP appealing more and more to evangelicals for votes by passing archaic laws inspired by nonsensical religious rhetoric like banning abortion and constantly targeting the lgbtq+ community, yes I’d say this whole album is still relevant. It is a concept album after all, Trent was inspired to create from his time touring to promote the With Teeth album during the good ole dubya era. It’s a look into a possibility of what life could look like when the religious right infects every level of our government. I’d say it’s still prophetic.
@@vytalman You used the phrase 'nonsensical religious rhetoric'. I think the best definition for religion is something like "a firmly held and fiercely defended belief in a set of ideas that are incongruent with facts, logic and / or reason." That said, there are plenty of religious idiots on both sides of the aisle. People on one side think people on the other side are to blame for all bad things while simultaneously re-electing the same career politicians over and over again. The politicians understand that they don't need to solve anything as long as they give their constituents something to hate, blame and fear. They intentionally create an environment where (almost) any conversation surrounding a political topic is hostile. That way people stop talking to each other and instead listen only to them. People don't dare question them for fear of being labeled as 'the other'. This gets more and more extreme as the Politicians try harder and harder to maintain their positions of power that (magically) keep getting more and more lucrative. Round and Round we go.... If you sincerely believe that 'your side' is pure and not just as guilty as the 'other side', congratulations! You've arrived at church.
It was relevant since 2007, you dumbfucks just spent the past decade pretending it wasn't to feel better because Obama put a smiling face and a chipper tone to mask it. Now the message is just blunter.
Ok, I might check this album out now. I’ve been listening to Downward, The Fragile and Bad Witch on repeat for a while, I should probably give this one a go now. What a terrific song.
+Souls Adrift TDS is what you can call an industrial Opera. After that album he killed Industrial. hew did everything that could be done with that genre. It's on a league of its own.
Year zero, one of the most ground breaking albums ive ever heard. blows away many of reznors other works. this is one of my go to albums when tripping. focuses your trip in a beautiful direction. but on the contrary "with teeth" and "the fragile" have a dangerously self-destructive message over all. I've learned to stray away from those two albums, they contributed to putting me in one of the darkest places I've ever been in, in this life. Be careful what music you choose to listen to my friends it has a greater effect than you may think. Don't underestimate the power of perspective and what it can manifest
+Thomas Streets Agreed, I would not trip or get into heavy mediation listening to TDS. It's aggressive, powerful, intense; and pretty tragic. The Fragile I sort of disagree, depending on the old classic saying "set and setting" I would the say that TF's instrumental programming to be really cool to listen to. A lot of layers and a lot of beauty, but it requires you not to get into the darker aspects of it. That I agree could bring you down in a vulnerable state of mind. Year Zero though, I think is amazing for deep focused relaxation whether in the form of tripping or whatever. It tells a powerful narrative, but it's open to interpretation and from the last few tracks I get the feeling I never got from earlier NIN which was sort of a call to arms for all human beings to resist negativity i.e. "Zero-Sum." That is a really amazing song, along with Right Where It Belongs. Very reflective but not nearly so judgmental about the human condition. Sometimes his work is very dark without a hole at the end of the tunnel but those two suggest something more . . .
I've always thought of With Teeth as a beautiful peice of ar, makes me thinkmof rebirth and really made me question everything I had been brought up to believe like religion, govt, Our place in nature and the very nature of the reality we live in. I'm in a much better place spiritually because of that album. I'll have to give Year Zero another hearing.
Thomas Streets oh yeah! And..of course .. trent reznor knows this very well when he composes his songs with his band., as also his bosses in the music industry
I still can’t thank a fellow NIN community member enough that sent me a link to the entire Alternate Reality Game. Year zero is their best and most relevant album.
3:11 Revelation 18: 3 4 stenciled on the door in the video is these passages: _All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy through the extravagance of her luxury._ _Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.…"_
Wow. The TDS is strong here. Wake up. Once u realize who the real enemy is, you'll be left wondering how he knew and what he had to do to take them all down. Y'all r gonna owe him the world's biggest apology. Count on it.
This song was the highlight of the show last night. Watching the backup singers absolutely LOSE it was incredible. Fantastic show. NIN is amazing live no matter how many times I see them.
We've finally reached the year the concept of this album takes place in, and still just as relevant.
yes
He misses on some fronts, but we definitely live in a surveillance state. Oddly it isn't the religious right that are tyrants right now, it's the radical leftists.
Only it’s globalist satanism….
Except instead of a dystopian Republican future we are living in a dystopian commie nwo future
Year zero is upon us...
I was in a shopping mall yesterday, and someone about to lose their job put this over the music PA. LOL! Awesomeness!
Did he play it in a particular store in the mall? Or like the whole mall to hear?
@@thelordofsalem3044 The whole mall! I was smiling and appreciative, most others were looking scared and bewildered.....
What an inspirational moment...
ugh LUCKKKKKKY i wish I could here da NIN song in a store/mall and I guess those other people don't understand the genius of Trent Reznor
He was just trying to show his survivalism against the odds
When he was touring for this the videos were up on the wall and was actual footage of a bunch of places at the venue, the bathrooms, hallways, etc. The detail is so amazing in his shows.
This is so schizophrenic
Two people were fucking in the bathroom during the concert I went to (Chicago) it was on the big screen, shit was so wild
@@10kittenexplosions pretty sure that was pre-recorded. still a cool concept, though
@@GastonKappa hey there
@@GastonKappa Well played
The completely creepy and ominous way he whispers “I’m sure you understand” at the end always gives me the chills
He was tapped in right?👀
Trent Reznor is 50 fucking years old, hes been a one man band for practically 30+ years and is as good as he was when he started, he is easily one of, if not thee, best artist ever. Doesnt matter if you like the genre or not , Van halen cant say that, ACDC cant say that, Paul Mccartney sure as hell cant say that
+Pigeonlarva magoo (Pigeonnlarva) He's a lot like Rob Swire.
Sorry havent heard of him, what band
Pigeonlarva magoo I was referring to him being an, in essence, one-man band across different genres and eras of music. He's been the key member of Pendulum and Knife Party- not the same genre, but it's the idea you're trying to convey that I get behind. I suppose a better comparison in electronica is probably Simon Posford as a single artist for 20 some years and across multiple groups; in Hallucinogen, Shpongle, Younger Brother and others.
It's not that it's debatable that Trent Reznor is a marvel of the semi-modern music world, I'm just identifying with an idea I've had with other producers of music I also listen to.
Oh cool! If u like one man bands u might like that1guy , its like funk edm
+Pigeonlarva magoo (Pigeonnlarva) Sounds cool! I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Trent rocking the keffiyeh 🇵🇸🫶
This album is again relevant in 2020!
Should have listened to him.
It never stopped being relevant.
@@ANIpJs indeed... it just keeps getting worse...
You mean this album is again relevant in Year Zero?
You mean Year 13.
I didn't give Year Zero the attention that this album deserved. It seemed like a lot of fans didn't, yet listening to it now, it has the sound of an amazingly good album. These songs are also very revealing of the state this world is in. And just how angry we should feel. We are living in a world that is upside down and it is frightening. Art Is Resistance.
It felt freaky when I first watched this years ago in my early teens, but now watching it it feels very chilling.
ZedX I know what you mean. Big Brothers always watching kind of vibe. Very creepy.
Its by far one his best albums.. its just not enough people gave it a go...
Im also suprised this album is so underrated. It's my second favorite NIN album after The Downward Spiral.
I think it is still somewhat popular, but nowhere near Downward Spiral, and I think none of his modern works will reach that high, I'm afraid.
Trent Reznor told us about it, and now in 2020, dark times are about to begin.
Welcome to Year Zero.
This is the beginning of the end. Stay safe. I'll see you on the other side.
@Gary White I prefer "The Da Vinci code" or "Spiderman". Less ficticional stuff
He was just two years off.
@Gary White Alright, came back to this vid because the 4th of July. It's a good tune.
But 2 quick things, because for some reason there's this little tickle at the back of my head to write this.

I use to listen to this album when I was living in San Francisco and no other music couldn't have fit the tone of the city any better than this sound.
And that tone is metastasized to every small town hard to pretend their isn’t a huge fight coming
Neglected to include the line "I've got my toilet roll" otherwise, Reznor is on point as usual.
He's using Manson t-shirts💩
Also here because of the times. Glad I'm not the only one.
‘I got my toilet paper roll! I got my cup o noodles! I am part of this great nation. I got my mask. I got my gloves. I got survivalism!’
Underrated comment.
If you listen very closely you can hear it
when i listen this album i thought the world was going to end that year. The experience of listening Year Zero when i was 18 was very scary, but an incredible experience.
Yes. Similar experiences but with halucinagens.
turns out it was just waiting a few years.
@@stephwilliams9750 or that it always applies.
This song is consistently brought into the forefront of my mind every few months because of the current state of humanity.
Your not the only one, especially the video
Much agreed. Scary and relevant.
@freelobotomies yup my brothers, only time will make this video come true
stop confusing humanity with authority
Reality ended up being the exact OPPOSITE of this, though.

They say that about every new release as far back as Broken.
This song is like one of the best hits in music!!! NIN is so underrated ✨
I love how the disc label for the album is heat sensitive. Played the everliving hell out of this when it came out.
Year Zero is a masterpiece.
I think this was my favorite lineup. Twiggy, Aaron North and Josh Freese playing for NIN - awesome. Got to see them live in 2007. They really kicked ass.
I think I saw them in '08 or 09. it was the end of a tour I think. It was a very very good show. Probably the best I've seen,
I seen a perfect circle open for NIN in May of 2000 when I was 15 it was awesome Twiggy was there I believe .
lyrics for anyone who wants em :
I should have listened to her
So hard to keep control
We kept on eating, but
Our bloated belly's still not full
She gave us all she had, but
We went and took some more
Can't seem to shut her legs
Our mother nature is a whore
I got my propaganda
I got revisionism
I got my violence
In hi-def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist
I got my plan
I got survivalism
Hypnotic sound of sirens
Echoing through the street
The cocking of the rifles
The marching of the feet
You see your world on fire
Don't try to act surprised
We did just what you told us
Lost our faith along the way
And found ourselves believing your lies
I got my propaganda
I got revisionism
I got my violence
In hi-def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist
I got my plan
I got survivalism
All bruised and broken, bleeding
She asked to take my hand
I turned, just keep on walking
But you'd do the same thing in the circumstance
I'm sure you'll understand
I got my propaganda
I got revisionism
I got my violence
In hi-def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist
I got my plan
I got survivalism
You got your pacifism - I got survivalism
Thanks BRO-CACHO 👍

I still remember eating a bowl of cereal and watching tv in the early morning about to get ready for school and seeing this music video. Was blown away.
This whole album and the archived alternate reality game is absolutely f*cking terrifying now. Like, straight terrifying.
This song can't be more relevant now.
they took Elvis, John Lennon, Kurt, Bowie, prince. I hope Trent lives forever.
and morrison
Elliott smith
He's not a druggie or a smoker like the rest of them so I think he'll be fine. He works out and drinks power juices lol.
***** WAS. That's the key.
***** Yes it did. IS is present tense. WAS is past tense. Do you understand grammar?
My favorite verse is at 1:24, hearing how Trent sings "You See Your World On FIRE". Excellent song.
All I can think about is Burn when he says that
it's a pity he never got to make his TV series. It would be very relevant now
Here we are again.
"I got my violence in high-def realism"
I don't know why, but that's a great line
The amount of truth this video and song holds of how things are and are about to happen is uncanny
This whole album was ahead of its time
Year Zero really grew on me.I listened to it for at least a month straight in my car,and it may be my favorite Nine Inch Nails album.
Just remember Art is action without violence
It seems nobody remembers the alternate reality game woven into this video, or have forgotten the hidden letters in the countdown timer
I remember it. Considering the last couple of years, it's even more haunting now.
I can't stop listening to NIN its so good
Black Beowulf tapping in🏬
Same. Year Zero time
That drummer is going OFF!!
Badtanman my man Josh!
This record was a decade and half ahead of its time.
Considering Reznor set this concept album in a Dystopian 2022, I think he's right on time.
@@bigguy1164 So he’s one of the architects? Hmmm… or the architects of destruction were inspired by this
This Album became relevant once again.

I have a problem with the downward spiral so most of the time I stay away from listening to the full album but the fragile isn't as bad.
The downward spiral has a message of repentment at the end that changes the dynamics of the whole album.
I've always thought of With Teeth as a beautiful peice of ar, makes me thinkmof rebirth and really made me question everything I had been brought up to believe like religion, govt, Our place in nature and the very nature of the reality we live in.
