Now that Nine Inch Nails has released their first truly independent album after leaving Interscope, Nine Inch Nails leader, Trent Reznor, brings us to Year Zero. Instead of Trent writing songs about hate, relationships, and sexuality, he writes an album with the concept of a world becoming ruled by violence and Christianity. Throughout this album, he is reminding us of how no one knows the truth of what is out there, of why we exist as humans, or who is watching us. With this strong concept, it is very different than the rest of his albums.

Since the neutral reviewed With Teeth in 2005, Year Zero is a very strong comeback and it is gaining fans fast. Even the way he approached his fans through the Nine Inch Nails website and through his internet conspiracy world of Year Zero just shows how much heart he has really put into this album, in a sense, it’s almost becoming a belief. This may be one of the few strong impacts of music for this decade. NIN has always had a huge fan base, ever since Reznor scored huge with Pretty Hate Machine, and even earning more fans with the hit "Closer" from The Downward Spiral, but now since the group is independent, NIN is sweeping fans around the world on their own.

Today, a lot of music seems to be crashing and most of it seems to be more interested in our wallets rather than sending a message. Musical movements such as what NIN is doing now used to happen a lot in the 60's and 70's. Now is the time for more artists to be rebuilding these movements and actions as well. NIN seems to be one of the few to understand the importance.
