Sep 6, 2018A great conceptual album with a huge background story, perhaps its mistakes lies in certain songs that feel similar and at times the album feels too passive and too electronic.
Maybe Trent left the rock a little more on the side and although it is not a bad thing, I did expected a darker album. -

Apr 11, 2012Nine Inch Nails' most ambitious offering to date, with a concept based around the future of the human conciousness we see Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross exercising their most experimental works into pop/rock anthems, a benchmark for modern music production.

OwenM.May 6, 2008Great effort from Trent. Very catchy album that has tracks both new fans and old fans can enjoy. He creates greats a great story with this album, those who followed the ARG online before the albums release will of course enjoy and understand it more.

DecepticonPomMay 27, 2007Could have very comfortably been a disc 2 to With Teeth - flows very nicely, even if not quite as strong a set as disc 1.

LucasKMay 25, 2007Sit down with this album, listen to it, digest it, then put it away in the cupboard for a week and I guarantee none of these middle of the road songs will be with you when you retrieve it.

DavidDMay 23, 2007The best since the downword spiral. Trent Rezonr seems to have got his edge back. Great CD

[Anonymous]May 21, 2007it's obscure, lacks the hooks of With Teeth and most importantly lacks the balls out screaming that makes Trent so damn good. He whispers on most songs, with beats seemingly melding into the same song over and over again. Let's hope the 2nd half is better.

BrianPMay 18, 2007An all out great album. For me, this is a much more exciting listen when compared to Reznor's previous 2 albums. It's on par with Pretty Hate Machine, Broken and The Downward Spiral.

-
RobMMay 16, 2007Almost all tracks are excellent. Trent really delivers again after his great With Teeth return

Make no mistake this is NIN as usual, but [it is] an effortless, inspired, and unaffected Trent Reznor the likes of which we may not have had the pleasure of knowing for almost a decade and a half.
-
Amid its carefully calibrated sonic assaults, Year Zero has a number of tracks that will stop you in yours.
-
Its nihilism can grate, but it makes an impression.
