What a trip, Trent Reznor. The industrial king of rock has once again contributed his innovative eye to the modern music scene. Nine Inch Nails' Year Zero has the potential to make one's jaw drop through the floor. You would not be wrong if you said I had been listening to "Me, I'm Not" on loop for the last two days at least.
I have been fond of Nine Inch Nails since my friend played "Closer" for me in 7th grade. I felt indestructably cool knowing a song proclaiming "I want to fuck you like an animal."; therefore, I thank Trent Reznor for helping me keep my aura of cool as an early adolescent. To continue with the tangent I am going off on, Reznor's lyrics on Year Zero occasionally encompass a kind of anxiety that could be found in a mainstream cheesey rock song. However, he manages to eliminate any dislikable quality to the lyrics with his violent beats and factory smacks on the drum machine. For the record, this is without disrespect. His lyrics are genius. The current hit from this album is "Survivalism," which screams the following:
"I should have listened to her/ So hard to keep control/ We kept on eating but our bloated bellies' 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"
All I can say is fantasmic.
