Nine Inch Nails' sixth studio release, Year Zero takes the concept album further than it may have ever gone before. In advance of its release, URLs were hidden in tour t-shirts, music- and image-filled USB drives were 'found' at concerts, and dozens of websites have been packed with conspiracy stories that all involve the year 2022 or 'Year Zero.' Each clue is part of a cohesive whole, requiring a listener to follow an exhaustive web trail to grasp the entire tale. Focusing specifically on the music, "The Beginning of the End," the powerful first vocal track, is like the sonic and lyrical equivalent of an emotional ascension to a rollercoaster's peak, with the last few cacophonic seconds equaling the fall of individual freedoms. "Survivalism," Year Zero's first single, follows with guest vocalist/Slam artist Saul Williams pumping up the passion in its urgent chorus. While still industrial in genre, it's clear that Trent Reznor's musical evolution finds him bringing more mellow songs to the mix than he has on previous discs ("The Good Soldier," "The Greater Good," "In This Twilight") as well as an increased number of funk-affected rhythms, specifically in standout tracks "Capitol G" and "Me, I'm Not." Devotees of NIN's harder sound will appreciate the metallic crunch of "My Violent Heart" and "Meet Your Master." On the whole, the Nine Inch Nails we hear on Year Zero is less focused on producing heavy music and more focused on delivering its heavy, conspiratorial doomsday message. --Denise Sheppard

5 out of 5 stars High energy music with powerful lyrics.......2007-08-01

This superb collection of noisy music from NIN really makes your body move while making you think about how government and religion abuse power. Reznor's well crafted lyrics really captures the spirit of the United States today, even though his album claims to be about a time a decade or more in the future. As usual, he pulls no punches when characterizing the attitudes of both presidents and prelates. This disc should be required listening for anyone elected to public office.

If you like NIN, you'll love this new release.

5 out of 5 stars NIN legacy continues.......2007-08-01

A nice new album from NIN. Kind of a mix between old and new. It has definetely a different beat to it...but the classic Trent Reznor lyrics and vocals. Some say that NIN has lost it...I say they just adapt and overcome. They always come out with something that's different than the crap that's already out there now...and they haven't conformed to mainstream junk. If you're a NIN fan, atleast buy it and give it a shot. For me, for just about every NIN album, it took me a couple listening's to start to dig it. At first it's kind of like...what the heck...and once you absorb it all in...it's pretty tight.

2 out of 5 stars ARE YOU PEOPLE DEAF???.......2007-07-31

THIS IS HORRIBLE!
Remain calm please. I've been a big NIN fan from way back.
This album just proves to me that Trent has lost his spark. Yes, I love a concept album as much as the next guy. But what do you do when every album you release has pretty much THE SAME CONCEPT EVERY TIME!
We all deal with the same fears and concerns that mr. reznor brings up every album. Yes we all feel alienated often, we all feel depressed often, we feel angry often. Is he breaking any new ground lyrically? NO! Has he broken any new ground since The Fragile? NO! I think he has regressed. I believe "With teeth" was a ghastly album. I believe this album is very much a BORING album.
When trent released the song "The perfect drug" I was under the impression that the sky was the limit! I was SO excited about hearing the journey I thought he was going to undertake. On a technical note Trent was a master of innovation in the mid 90's with his GROUNDBREAKING work with the Pro Tools recording system. Some of the layering and effects on "The Fragile" are mind blowing. That's all gone now. "Year zero" is FLAT! Trents so called angst and aggression almost sounds like satire now. Perhaps I'm jaded, but when I listen to his earlier works especially "The fragile" it seems very intense, and urgent, and REAL!
Maybe he realised the limitations of the sound he had a hand in creating. Maybe he just feels that it's asking too much to push the boundaries these days. This is a similar feeling to how I'm feeling about the new Smashing Pumpkins album. Not moved, not excited, not challenged. Nice cover artwork though. That's where my two stars are going.

5 out of 5 stars The soundtrack for the US in our times. .......2007-07-27

I'll be brief. Every time I listen to this album is like revisiting the dark side of the US (and the world) in our times: pseudo-religious fascism, jingoism, savage capitalism, the need to belong to something (even if odious). I could go on. Mr. Reznor has given us another masterpiece, full of poignantly insightful lyrics and music that is at the same time beautiful and powerful enough to blast your brain to pieces. I love it.

2 out of 5 stars The song on the radio is IT.......2007-07-25

The only good thing about this CD is the song they play on the radio. Too bad, really.

Trent Reznor has always been a one-trick-pony, but it's a damn good trick: sunny melodies filtered through ferocious electronics. Unfortunately, the trick's impact was often watered down by a tendency toward petulance and self-absorption. Still, almost six years after NIN's last release, The Fragile, the trick itself has lost none of its Teen-Beat-from-hell appeal. With Teeth blisters from the start with "All the Love in the World," and tracks like "The Collector" take full advantage of Dave Grohl's sledgehammer drumming. Reznor stretches occasionally, trying out different tactics, from crunchy, overtly commercial rave-ups ("The Hand That Feeds") to borderline New Wave ("Only"). But Teeth isn't about stretching. It's about doing the same trick, only better, with less clutter and more bite. By neatly distilling the sparseness of Pretty Hate Machine with Downward Sprial-style density, it ends up being the most focused record in the NIN catalog. -Matthew Cooke

5 out of 5 stars Listen to the Music as Well as the Lyrics. Great Album........2007-06-28

I waited a long time to write this review for a reason. I wanted to see, because there are so many haters of this album out there, how it stood up to The Fragile, the album prior to it's release, and Year Zero, the album which came out afterwards. It is comparable to both, with The Fragile and Year Zero being my favorite NIN albums of all. I see all these people writing and saying how terrible this album is, that Trent just put something out to sell records because he hadn't put an album out in a long time. That's bush!! The music on this album is awesome. It's as textured at times as The Downward Spiral or The Fragile, or even Year Zero, and at other times as heavy as Broken. Plus the live drumming that Dave Grohl provides on most of the tracks is excellent. And the lyrics are pretty good if you listen to them. Sure, Trent deals with coping with love, anger ,being lonely, and heartache. This is obvious on tracks "All the Love in the World, "Love is not Enough", "Only", and "Sunspots". He also is leading to the political precursor of Year Zero with tracks like "The Hand that Feeds", and "Right Where it Belongs". This is just a message to all of the haters out there that Trent was writing about the things he knew about and the things that were important to him. And if anyone thinks that the music itself is bad, have your hearing tested. Keep up the great work Trent.

1 out of 5 stars Tree Trunk Arms and Cereal Box Philosophy.......2007-06-25

Have mercy!! Please Mr. Reznor stop making these terrible albums before you destroy your legacy. These lyrics sound like they were penned by a fifteen year old kid that just smoked his first doobie. You used to stand for something....what happened? Mr.Reznor who gave you the philosophy 101 textbook? What's coming next the "Question Reality" tour. Anyways, I'm sure all the little kids you're stealing money from are quite impressed by your lame ramblings............................Don't forget your 5 o'clock workout you muscleman

5 out of 5 stars I can't help it........2007-06-24

I realize that there are more than a few people who consider this to be NIN's weakest album, but speaking for myself, I like everything Trent Reznor touches, including his other music projects. I love this album, and I am a huge NIN fan so I suppose that doesn't qaulify my rating as fair. Oh well, just had to give my imput.

4 out of 5 stars A solid 4 stars for NIN.......2007-04-27

With teeth is agood nin cd. Right where it belongs The line begains to blur Sunspots Every day is exactly the same and Love is not enough. are good solid songs Hand that feeds is not juvenile and is a great commetary on the war. what i dont like are Only and Getting smaller i dont like the attitude of Only or the My Shrona riff for getting smaller. With teeth is mostly solid and underrated.

4 out of 5 stars A hitfilled adventure.......2007-04-24

This album was a comeback of sorts. After the amazing, yet poor selling The Fragile, Trent needed a hit. Much like the Velvet Underground did with Loaded, he churned out a lean mean album, chock full of hits. Unfortunately, by doing so, he lost the depth and intelligence of previous albums. While I've listened to this a ton, it's usually more for the singles than for the entire album. As such, your opinion of the album depends on the type of music goer you may be. While some perfer the entire album effect, others are in it solely for the singes. This album is for those who like catchy songs, surrounded by industrial music.

Amazon.com's Best of 1999

Trent Reznor took five years to record this monstrous double-CD set, wielding a perfectionist's touch in the production and the subtlety of a chainsaw in the musicianship. The result is uncompromising, full of hysterical noise and yet utterly accessible. Somehow, someway, this is one of the best pop records of the year. --Matthew Cooke

Amazon.com

The Fragile is even bleaker than 1994's The Downward Spiral as it lurches along with a perpetual scowl. A frenzied collection of buzz-saw pop, Trent Reznor's grim opus yo-yos through two CDs with scattershot intensity. Hushed one minute and explosive the next, spite and anger intermix with heartbreaking resignation, sometimes in the course of one song. Still, Reznor's dour and uncompromising approach is accessible and undeniably entertaining, even when he eschews vocals altogether. Unchanged are the obsessive lengths that he goes to for the sake of a dynamic thrill ride. The quiet tones that open the instrumental "Just Like You Imagined" suddenly erupt into a barrage of off-time rhythms and noodling keyboard riffs, all rising to a torrid conclusion. The sheer sonic invention on display here is astounding. Reznor's production approaches Brian Eno's in terms of dynamism, though it arises from a profoundly different sensibility. "Starfuckers Inc" uses chopped-up vocals for the verses and a shouting mob for its propulsive, Ministryesque chorus to mercilessly slam some of NIN's imitators (most pointedly, Marilyn Manson). And while there's nothing here as dance-floor-ready as Downward Spiral's "Closer," "Where Is Everybody" comes close, thanks to its slow, sweaty gyrations and Adrian Belew's slippery guitar figures. The Fragile's songs are ultimately simple explorations of deep disillusionment. However, once Reznor finishes twisting them out of shape, they're towering soundscapes of rage that are at once terrifying and beautiful. --Matthew Cooke

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Sweet and sour, but the sweet is sooo sweet.......2007-06-02

Off hand, you'd think that 2 cd's is a whole lot of music to listen to. On the other hand, that WOULD be true had this album have roughly 1/2 of it as "skippable" tracks. Don't be disuaded however, this album is still chock full of some of the greatest music I've ever heard. Point blank, this album is musical genius hidden within a number of useless artsy noise. Despite the throwaway tracks, this album is really great. I recommend it entirely, you can skip to the good ones.

1 out of 5 stars Career suicide.......2007-04-07

Eight long years after this album was released and I figure I might as well write a review. I know what people say, that, it wasn't the Downward Spiral 2. Well, I was hoping for something equally as impressive as the Downward Spiral, not the same. I realize bands move on, grow up, GET OLD, but, such a contrast. The Downward Spiral, and previous works, were a progressive movement towards something.. something. The Fragile may have been that something. The world will never know.

I wonder...who will hold the chalice next? Blame it on fear, blame it on drugs, blame it on pressure, blame it on ....whatever, but, this album is the ultimate opportunity lost. Successive works, such as "With Teeth", are just flat out laughable and pathetic. Was Nine Inch Nails ever a great band? I have my doubts... yet, I can still remember being dumbstruck by the glory of Mr. Self Destruct that first time... [8th grade]

As far as I'm concerned, this album was Trent's fall from Godhood. This album has no purpose, no progression. It's a mess of half committed tracks and trivial ambience. There is no plot, no experience. While Downward Spiral was a journey to something divine, this album, however, lacks any magic whatsoever...

Oh, NiN will still be around, perhaps for ten more years, perhaps even twenty. But, that spirit, that anger, that POWER which is found in the Downward Spiral (and Broken) will never show itself again. The sincerity is but a fading memory, and to those just discovering NiN, will never be felt.

All in all, I would rather have never been born than live in a post Fragile world. It was that disapointing to me, and still is. One star for destroying one of the only joys of my childhood.

5 out of 5 stars Music for the dark corners of your soul.......2007-04-06

Trent and co. will wring melody from your mute cacophony. He will make grossly audible your simmering anguish. From your gut-wrenching agony he will rend headphones and speakers and piss off happy yippy-dogged minivanned neighbors. He will take the destroyed junkyard of your soul and from it fashion a japanese mecha-godzilla that no army can slay. And finally, after the journey through your private darkness is complete, he will bow his head and point you at the glimmer of light at the end.

Welcome to NIN. I love all his stuff, but this is his best, darkest, deepest, most musically interesting. If you ever find yourself in a very dark place, catharsis is at hand. This is the hair tonic for your balding soul. Best played loud.

5 out of 5 stars If I could give it more than five, I would.......2007-03-28

It boggles my mind that this album didn't sell better when it came out. It totally lives up to the hype of The Downward Spiral, and is nothing short of epic. I'll try not to sound to cliche here, but this album really changed my musical life. In my opinion, it is easily one of the top ten best musical artworks of the nineties. The songs are amazing, the instrumentals beautiful, the rock is hard and danceable, and it is every bit as risque and meticulously constructed as TDS. I would give you a "list" of standout songs to keep an eye on, but I would end up naming every song on both discs. Every one is a winner here, you will find beauty and pure musical genius on each track. If you liked The Downward Spiral, put The Fragile to the test, it is every bit as good if not better. I don't know what you are waiting for, buy it.

5 out of 5 stars Not Typical.......2007-03-13

If you like NIN just from hearing "The Downward Spiral" then you will either be refreshed or dissapointed. I've owned this album since the first day it was released (almost 8 years) and I still listen to it from time to time.

If you're looking for the song played during the "300" trailer, the track name is "Just Like You Imagined", one of the best instumentals ever.

Like all of NIN's albums, this is a modern classic.

The people who felt betrayed when Linda Eder covered several pop songs on 2002's Gold will be relieved that her follow-up, Broadway My Way, is a return to the Great White Way. As if to prove that she isn't limited to either the songs of Frank Wildhorn or ballads, Eder tackles some well-known show tunes. The ballads tend to be overwrought, so it's best to look for the uptempo numbers. The singer's take on "Some People" is technically fine but so va-va-voom showbiz that it lacks the deranged edge that makes the song so compellingly dramatic. Things work a lot better on "I Am What I Am": while Eder doesn't take it to the top (or rather over the top), this is as close as she gets to Mermanizing a number. Elsewhere, "Don't Rain on My Parade" (immortalized by Streisand) and "Man of La Mancha" are appropriately brassy and triumphant, with Eder roaring her way through both songs. Fans of both Eder and Wildhorn should note that the singer reprises her Svengali's "Gold," the title track from her previous album, and an excerpt from his long-in-the-works Camille Claudel. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

On the eagerly awaited Broadway My Way, Atlantic recording artist and acclaimed Broadway sensation Linda Eder performs classics including 'On the Street Where You Live' (from My Fair Lady), 'Edelweiss' (from The Sound of Music), 'Don't Rain On My Parade' (from Funny Girl) and 10 other great broadway songs performed in a whole new voice. 2003.

5 out of 5 stars Linda Eder - Great Voice.......2007-07-06

This lady has one great voice. She can certainly sell a song. My only reservation about her is that she's a bit cocky. I think she could use some humility.

5 out of 5 stars Not a voice.......an instrument.......2007-02-17

Unbelievable breath control, phrasing, and style. My 10 yr. old Granddaughter who heretofore has listened and loved the usual rap
and hip-hop, heard me playing this disc and begged me to buy her
one........and I did, and she plays it all the time, and to her
friends. Linda Eder exceeds the Streisand mystique by far.

5 out of 5 stars the best female singer of the great american standards........2006-07-24

i am turning 60 years old this year. i went to my 1st.broadway
musical in 1960. over the years i have had the honor to see
almost all of the giants of american song, garland, streisand,
patti lupone, lena horne, betty buckley, barbaracook etc. in
"broadway, my way" linda eder cements her place as the best of the best. from an anthem like "i am what i am" to the lovely
"on the street where you live" captures you body and soul.
i loved this album, and don't ever miss a chance to see her live. JOHN POWER

One of the most romantic and playable record I've ever listened to: I had already the 33round in vynil and I wanted to have also the more durable CD.

5 out of 5 stars One of his George's best!.......2007-03-09

I bought this album originally when first released, but sadly lost it along the way. Thankfully I recalled it when replacing my ageing collection of records. This is probably the best album George did after All this must pass. He had some teriffic help in making it, Geoff Lynne, Ringo, Elton and Eric Clapton. It was made around the time of the Travelling Wilburys ablbums, which are equally as good as this one, but sadly only available from Russia?
The tracks are very catchy, with I've got my mind set on you, being bar far the best. You can sense that the musicians playing on these numbers are masters of there craft and are truly enjoying making great music.

Review of George Harrison's Cloud Nine

Typically Harrison's albums have maybe one hit, or even no hits, then maybe one or two good songs, and then a lot of pretty iffy material.

Of course All Things Must Pass was an exception. It was, by far, the best post-Beatles album produced by any of the Beatles, and remains, by the way, the best selling of all the post-Beatle albums.

Cloud Nine was, however, a total breakout album for a few reasons. Firstly, the album had one smash hit, Got My Mind Set On You. This hit had such staying power and came so late in Harrison's career that it got Harrison a huge non-Beatles audience, so much so that I met young kids at the time who did not know or believe Harrison had been in the Beatles and simply liked him as a solo artist. That kind of comeback is a very rare achievement for any artist.

But also, the album has two minor hits, The Devil's Radio, and also, the best song on the album, When We Was Fab, a song that not only pokes some lighthearted and serious fun at Harrison's Beatle years, but has a tremendous musical style parody of their psychedelic era, calling to mind arrangements similar to I Am The Walrus and Strawberry Fields. It takes several listenings to really get what a masterpiece that song is.

The Devil's Radio is great because it has a profound spiritual message without leaning in the specific doctrinal tenants of Harrison's Hinduism. I say this with mixed feelings, since I am a Buddhist-Hindu and really enjoy a lot of his very doctrinal and propagandistic works. (True critics need to be human enough to "fall for things," even if they can be poked fun at artistically. In Harrison's case, his religion was a two-edged sword, it provided the inspiration and insight that made him a major and unique influence in the Anglo pop scene, but it also sometimes made him a bit sloppy and complacent.

Cloud specifically said in one interview that he did not want Cloud Nine to be dominated by spirituality, and he succeeded by having the album uplifted by his religion without it being heavy handed. (All that being said, I still like the heavy-handed stuff sometimes too.) The point is, in terms of the worldwide audience, Cloud Nine was perfect for absolutely mass consumption and platinum proportions while still retaining the great philosophical insights Harrison always benefitted from.

It also helps that he had the greatest backup band of all time. While George Harrison sang, played guitar and produced, he had Geoff Lynne coproduce and sing and play instruments, (he was the former create front-man for the Electric Light Orchestra who themselves had a massive career). Furthermore, on drums was his co-Beatle Ringo Starr. And if that weren't enough, Eric Clapton was the lead guitarist and Elton John was the Pianist (with regular contributions by Eighties Mega-Star, now often forgotten, Gary Wright). Given that backup band, it's hard to imagine how the album could go wrong.

Cloud Nine was a masterwork of marketing timing, producing, arranging, personnel management, spirituality and good old quality pop-rock. In some sense, given that Harrison had become a pretty successful film producer by then, in his own right, Cloud Nine probably represents the real Zenith of the solo career of Harrison, because, although All Things Must Pass will always remain the truly immortal work of Harrison's, it was still very much done in the supernova halo of the Beatles. Cloud Nine had proved with time and distance Harrison was a viable artist, and probably, the most important solo artist to come from the Beatles.

For a time it seemed that McCartney would have been by far the most important of the post-Beatles, however he fell far out of critical favor, and his solo work remains very dated and his following rather faded. Harrison fans hang on with a fervor that McCartney could not match. True, Double Fantasy represented a similar victory to Cloud Nine for John Lennon, a true breakout. And while Imagine remains Lennon's Immortal work, it too was also produced in the halo of the Beatles' recent breakup. Lennon's assassination may have prevented him from becoming the preeminent post-Beatle, since he said at the time of making Double Fantasy, that he felt like he'd just begun again and that "nothing's even been done yet."

5 out of 5 stars Good then - Great now.......2007-01-09

An excellent piece of work....heads above his contemporaries....except for the "Traveling Willburys"

5 out of 5 stars LIKE AN OPULESCENT MOON ALL ALONE IN THE SKY OF A FOREIGN LAND. . ........2006-12-02

HARRISON WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE BEATTLE. UNLIKE HIS PRIMA DONNA BANDMATES, GEORGE WAS THE QUIET MUSICAL BACKBONE. HIS SOLO WORK IS SUPERB. THE TUNES THAT HE PENNED FOR THE BEATTLES WERE ALWAYS MY FAVORITES.

THIS ALBUM IS PERFECT. MY CHOICE TRACKS HERE ARE:

"SOME PLACE ELSE" WITH IT'S CIRCULAR GUITAR WORK AND GUTTING LYRICS, IT IS ENCHANTING BEYOND. . .

"BREATH AWAY FROM HEAVEN" THE ASIAN INFLUNENCE IS SO ACCURATE, YOU CAN LITERALLY SMELL THE OPIUM DENS. THE LYRICS, YET AGAIN, ARE ACE. ("LIKE AN OPULESCENT MOON ALL ALONE IN THE SKY OF A FOREIGN LAND" LYRICS DON'T GET MUCH BETTER.)

MY ONLY ISSUE WITH THIS ALBUM IS ITS COVER. YUCK. HE LOOKS LIKE ON OF THE GIBB BROS. GROSS.

I AM GLAD TO SEE THE TITLE TRACK FROM HIS WORK ON THE FILM, SHANGHAI SURPRISE. WHATEVER ONE THINKS ABOUT THE ILL-FATED FILM (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE A GUILTY PLEASURE FOR ME), THE MUSIC IS FIRST RATE AND TRULY ENCOMPASSES A GEOGRAPHICAL SOUNDSCAPE.

GEORGE HARRISON WAS AN UNDERRATED MUSICAL GENIUS. BUY THIS REMASTER. YOU WILL BE HUMMING ALONG FOR YEARS. A WORTHY BUY.

Amazon.com essential recording

Nine Inch Nails are a pretty amazing phenomenon when one considers what they--um, he--have done with just a few studio recordings. The Downward Spiral, NIN's second full-length album, is just as packed with vitriol as Pretty Hate Machine and the EP Broken--and has just as solid a base of pop hooks that go a long way toward explaining NIN's popularity. Most recognizable is the down-tempo single "Closer," which remains a staple of dance clubs everywhere. But for the most part, the album is all heavy beats and aggressive guitars--industrial music with a pop angle. That winning combination is what makes Trent Reznor a law unto himself, becoming insanely popular while the main body of industrial music retains its subculture status. --Genevieve Williams

Amazon.com

It's easy to understand why Nine Inch Nails became the industrial band to break out of the techno ghetto and win a larger audience. Trent Reznor, who records the NIN albums almost entirely by himself (although he tours with a full band), tries very hard to pass himself off as an angry young man, but underneath the angst-ridden lyrics, pounding synths, and grating guitars is an irrepressible pop sensibility. On the second full-length NIN album, The Downward Spiral, Reznor builds his constructions of noise and gloom around warm, fuzzy melodies. On the album's first single, "March of the Pigs," for example, Reznor screams about swine lined up for slaughter amid guitars screeching in pain. Suddenly the guitars fall away to reveal the sensually throbbing rhythm track below; then that falls away to reveal a vocal-and-piano track that's as catchy as anything by Elton John. Because Reznor has a better handle on dynamics now, the melodic core is more obvious than ever. --Geoffrey Himes

4 out of 5 stars great and quickly sent..........2007-07-31

love the cd---
and it came quickly...
It really, like always has the great balance of harsh songs and even mellow....

4 out of 5 stars Alot of Darkness--and Some Fun.......2007-07-15

The first time I listened to "The Downward Spiral", I was a bit sickened by the opening gun shots, realizing that Reznor was making a not-too-subtle reference to the so-called Tate murders, where the three male victims were shot, among other things. Time having blunted that effect, I've grown to appreciate not only his utilization of those disgusting crimes as a potent metaphor for his own perceived disintegration (note "Piggy" and the cacophonous "March of the Pigs"), but I've come to the conclusion that, while this work is a bit dark (and noisy) for my tastes, it's nevertheless quite an accomplishment. Unlike "Year Zero", it's never dull. Every song oozes with emotion, be it anger, contempt, desperation--whatever. Lyrically, it runs the gamut between good enough and wow, I wish I'd thought of that. It's technically brilliant--I can't conceive of how the electronic effects could have been rendered any more intriguing. It's obviously a labor of love, meticulously constructed by an obsessive (and perhaps perverted) mind. For all it's stellar qualities, "The Downward Spiral" is, alas, not for every mood, i.e., it has the unique ability to twist an already bad mood into an even worse one--at least that's my experience. Plenty of sunshine and a car ride is the way I take it best. Maybe that will work for you.

5 out of 5 stars Absolute must for NIN fans.......2007-06-27

If you're a fan of NIN and don't own this album, then you should really reconsider calling yourself a fan. This is a classic industrial album and one of their finest works ever.

5 out of 5 stars Not for the faint of heart........2007-06-07

TDS was Reznor's darkest and from what I think his best piece of work in his entire career (and also his most disturbing). If you are trying to get into Nine Inch Nails, I would recommend either With Teeth, Year Zero, or The Fragile, as they are cd's that are less dark than this. However, if you are into NIN, you should DEFINITELY pick up this cd.

My favorite songs: Mr. Self Destruct, Heresy, Closer, March of the Pigs, Ruiner, Eraser, Reptile, A Warm Place, and finally Hurt.

4 out of 5 stars NIN at it's almost best.......2007-05-16

Good work from Trent, but in my book many of the songs on this CD that are performed on the Beside You in Time Blu-ray are a better performance then the originals

3 out of 5 stars I agree with Daniel maltzmen........2007-07-04

I love NIN, and I love the new album, but Trent Reznor, like many successfull musical artists, is a product in the eyes of the record company. trnet has allready made it clear to fans and press alike that he is against the corpoarate interrest to banf NIN fans out of their money. He is also rightfully insulting his recording contract and claiming that they are trying to exploit his artistic interrests for a few more pennies, and alot more hype than he is seeking. If you know Trent, you know that he is brutally honest with the public, and has little to apologize for...so in that regard.....if your a must have collector....buy this. Otherwise, your wasting your time here. Year Zero is epic, but so far the singles are just an avalanche of the haves vrs. the have nots!

3 out of 5 stars Much better than Part 1, but for Halo collectors only.......2007-07-01

"Survivalism", the lead single from Nine Inch Nails' smashing and politically charged album "Year Zero", was released in two parts as a single. "Survivalism, Part 1" featured the song itself along with the "Tardusted Remix" (which is also featured here as well). "Survivalism, Part 2" features all of the above, as well as the instrumental version of "Greater Good", and the rocking video for "Survivalism". You get more here than you do for the rip off that was "Survivalism, Part 1", yet this single still feels like it's meant for hardcore Halo collectors only. What you get here isn't bad, but there still could have been more put here, and the disc itself feels less like a "Part 2" and more like a "Part 1" with bonus tracks. That aside though, you get more bang for your buck here than with "Part 1", but either way, if you're a Halo collector, you'll probably be picking both up regardless.

2 out of 5 stars Only for the Halo collector.......2007-06-16

"Survivalism" (Halo 23) has been released in two parts. Both part I and II contain "Survivalism" the album version and "Survivalism--the tardusted remix." Part two also contains an instrumental version of "The Greater Good" and a video of "Survivalism."

This is the type of Halo that's really just for the NIN completeist, fans who must own every NIN Halo. "Year Zero" (Halo 24) already has "Survivalism" and the tardusted remix included here isn't all that great. It's kind of interesting, with a slower tempo and more layers and effects than the original, but it doesn't really hold up for repeated listens. The instrumental of "The Greater Good" is pretty much like the album version, but without Reznor's voice-over whispering. The video of "Survivalism" is really cool, with cameras spying in on people in a building as they live their lives.

If you are a massive NIN fan, this Halo is worth owning for the novelty two songs and the video, but for everyone else, just stick to "Year Zero." If you do decide to pick up Halo 23, make sure you get part II, as it includes the instrumental version of "The Greater Good" and a video of "Survivalism."

4 out of 5 stars Great song, pretty good remix.......2007-05-12

Both Survivalism and its remix had to grow on me before I loved them. I think for that reason I rank it 4 stars. The remix on this single is not a lot like any remix I've ever heard from Nine Inch Nails. My first thought when listening was that the beat sounded more like it was meant for a slow rap song. After a few listens though I really like it. The instrumental version of "Greater Good" is a nearly unnoticeable change (to me). The first time I heard the original I thought it was an instrumental because the singing is so soft anyhow. I don't think this would be a good single to get if you are a casual listener or are looking for a first single to buy since there are other singles by NIN that have a bit more depth and are more all-encompassing

5 out of 5 stars cool.......2007-05-08

it's nin and it is a halo. the music sounds like nin but the singing what is that. the game he created is cool.over all the single is cool.

As a placeholder between the full-length Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral, Broken packs a serious punch. Angrier and less poppy than Machine, this EP is full of noisy hooks, if such a thing is possible (check out that guitar riff on the full-throttle "Wish"), and much closer aesthetically to the industrial subgenre that informs Trent Reznor's music. As song titles like "Help Me I Am in Hell" suggest, Broken is a work of undiluted rage, which is, of course, a big part of its appeal. --Genevieve Williams

5 out of 5 stars My favorite NIN cd.......2007-03-08

Well... it's a different NIN from the Trent Reznor of Pretty Hate Machine. He's got a band now. He's still tortured, angry & masochistic, but now there are other guys there, & the arrangement is, well, maybe more balanced. I can listen to "Physical" all day; the grab-your-scrote groove is simply luxurious. No, I don't have one, but still. Pretty Hate Machine was revelational, but Broken is simply pleasurable.

5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2007-02-24

Broken may be short, but it is some of the hardest Industrial metal you can buy. It is definitely worth picking up, and is quite possibly Trent's best work. It is definitely up there with the best albums this band has put out. Every song is high energy, so get ready to rock, especially if you haven't heard this CD yet because it is awesome.

5 out of 5 stars Nine Inch Nails "Broken".......2006-11-10

Easily on of the best NIN albums ever... "Last" Might just be Reznor's best song

5 out of 5 stars sneering.......2006-07-27

Hey, this is as good as the Nineties get. Right here. The idea that this EP is about Trent's backlash against the TVT label is irrelevant and probably falsified for trivia fodder. Who cares anyway, right? This is all about freeing the music demons. Trent did everything right and is still really the only one he did total justice on.
It starts out with the hellish white noise fade-in of PINION and doesn't let go of your throat until just under 23 minutes later. But just when you have come back up for air the assault begins again after the snickering gimmick of 92 one-second blank 'tracks' that end with two closing tracks that are just as vicious in their own way as the first six.
What seperates this project from other NIN albums is the crushing guitars supplied with force and malice. Listen to LAST and GAVE UP and you will know what I mean. But more than that, the marriage of industrial synth and guitar has few rivals.
Trent Reznor gets lots of props for other albums such as The Downward Spiral and such but BROKEN is what it's all about. Get it.

5 out of 5 stars FLAWLESS!!! BUY IT NOW!! NIN.......2006-06-13

3 out of 5 stars might wanna look for another live album.......2007-07-10

Nine Tonight is a very uninteresting live album. It doesn't feel like Bob Seger went out of his way to make any of the songs exciting. It's more like a feeling of Bob and the rest of the band going through the motions, or a feeling of "It's time to release a live album, and this is what we're giving you". I don't believe the band was really feeling the excitement or the energy that made much of these songs sound so good in the studio. If you happen to own these songs on their regular studio albums, you'd be better off avoiding this album altogether and just sticking with what you have. Or better yet, look into some late 60's Bob Seger, which was the absolute high point of his career.

5 out of 5 stars This is a great live album!.......2007-05-14

I bought this on LP when it first came out and it immediately became my favorite live album. So many live albums lose the balance between the music and the audience, where the music overpowers the crowd to the point where you lose the thrill of the event being "live." "Nine Tonight" carries the perfect balance here, as well as providing a nice collection of great rock songs, like "Against The Wind," "Night Moves," and "Rock And Roll Never Forgets." My only complaint about this CD is the need to shorten the final song, "Let It Rock," to fit it onto one CD. That song highlighted Seger's rapport with the audience, and the abridged version is not as good as the original. Other than that, I highly recommend this CD to all Seger, and rock and roll, fans!

4 out of 5 stars Bob Seger is best heard "live"........2007-05-07

This CD captures the experience of Bob Seger live. A must have for Seger fans.

5 out of 5 stars Bob Seger's second live album is just as killer as his first.......2007-01-12

Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band released its second live album Nine Tonight in September of 1981.
Nine Tonight was Seger's thirteenth album in total. This live album is just as good, if not better than 1976's Live Bullet.
Half of Nine Tonight, like Live Bullet, was recorded at Cobo Hall in Detroit, MI (tracks 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14) in June of 1980 and the other eight tracks (tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 15 and 16) were recorded at the Boston Garden in my native Boston, MA in October, 1980.
Seger is joined by longtime Silver Bullet members bass player Chris Campbell and sax player Alto Reed (both of whom are still in the band today) and guitarist Drew Abbott (whom left during The Distance sessions). There were some changes to The Silver Bullet Band lineup since Live Bullet. First, drummer Charlie Allen Martin was paralyzed in a car accident in 1977 and was replaced by David Teegarden (whom would leave the band after Nine Tonight's release). Second, keyboard player Robyn Robbins was replaced in 1980 by ex-Grand Funk Railroad keyboard player Craig Frost (whom made his debut on Nine Tonight and is still in The Silver Bullet Band today).
The only two exclusive tracks on Nine Tonight is the opening title cut which was from the movie "Urban Cowboy" released in 1980. The track was intended for Against the Wind but the producer for the "Urban Cowboy" soundtrack album (Eagles manager Irving Azoff) had the song ready for inclusion on the album(UC). Then we segue into the album's biggest hit Tryin' To Live My Life Without You which is a great song.
Nine Tonight also features blistering live versions of tracks from Seger's three million sellers 1976's Night Moves (represented by Mainstreet, The Fire Down Below, the title cut to Night Moves and Rock and Roll Never Forgets), 1978's Stranger in Town (represented by Hollywood Nights, Old Time Rock and Roll, Feel Like a Number and We've Got Tonight) and 1980's Against the Wind (represented by You'll Accomp'ny Me, the album's title cut, Her Strut, Fire Lake and Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight).
We end the album, like Live Bullet, with Let it Rock. This version is more electrifying than on the Live Bullet version clocking in at 10 plus minutes. The CD however features an edited version because otherwise, it would have been believed back in 1989, that the track would exceed the maximum playing time on a CD or it would have become a 2 CD set (CDs can fit up to 80 minutes of music). The LP label gave Let it Rock's playing time as 8 minutes and 26 seconds but it is actually 10 minutes and 35 seconds. The CD version is only a little over 6 minutes and uses the ending of The Fire Down Below to end the track instead of the big finale.
Nine Tonight was released to massive sales as the album peaked at #3 on the Billboard album charts and sold millions upon release. The album deserves to be re-released in its full glory and can fit on one CD no problem or worse comes to worse, re-release it on two.
Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Bob Seger's Greatest Album of the Century.......2007-01-12

This album is by far one of the best albums ever concocted by someone in my generation...Bob Seger's as classic as they come, I'd recommend this album to my children, grandchildren etc...It's good to see him back in performance live mode, and hopefully this tour won't be his last...Brando Quin, author of "The Master Painter"

Album Description

From the co-creator of ENIGMA !

Highly acclaimed co-producer and guitarist of the multi-platinum group Enigma, Jens Gad brings you a spellbinding downtempo musical odyssey into the ancient mythology of his Scandinavian homeland. He is joined by the entrancing classical vocals of Helene Horlyck, to co-create a sophisticated and hypnotic chill-out journey through "The Nine Worlds" of archaic legend. At once stirring and calming, entertaining yet relaxing, Achillea achieves a vibrantly new and hauntingly beautiful musical vision that artfully blends evocative ambient New Age atmospheres with European dance club electronica. Achillea elegantly weaves the mystery of ancient myth - a world of seers, elves, and rune masters, into a lush, richly layered sonic landscape with velvety melodies of delicately bluesy guitar playing, slow sensuous grooves and silky smooth vocals sung in Latin and ancient Swedish. Both intimate and cinematic, this uniquely transcendent masterpiece is full of deep beauty and mysterious wonder that will nourish your soul.

"Achillea is the new project for producer/guitarist Jens Gad, co-producer, co-writer and one of the central creative forces behind popular group Enigma (alongside Michael Cretu). For his first solo project, Gad presents an atmospheric album of tunes themed after Danish myth. Enigma fans should definitely take note, as there are many common denominators between both groups: the same laid-back "Enigma-style" beats, Gregorian chant, whispery vocals and Gad's signature electric guitar. Achillea differs by offering an album steeped in dreamy ambience. This album slower paced and more ethereal, making it better suited for the mind than the dance floor. Adding to the appeal is the wispy, sensual vocals of singer Helene Horlyck, who sings on many of the tracks. Serene, slightly trippy and sure to bring on a bout of Enigma nostalgia, this is a must for worldbeat/chill music fans." - Music Design In Review

5 out of 5 stars Austerity and beauty all mesh on "The Nine Worlds"........2007-02-11

I was entranced by the debut release by artist Achillea. To my peasant surprise, I leanred that it is also a side project of Enigma's guitarist and in terms of side-projects, Achillea is almost as good as Enigma.

The debut album has a similar trademark to Enigma's album but the tracks stand out altogether with beauties like "Odin's Hill", "The Garden if Lisfaraine" and "Seeres Prophecy". Overall, "The Nine Worlds" is almost like a sequel to Enigma's third album from more than a decade ago.

This is highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Ambience Spectacular!.......2006-11-27

I am a big fan of early Enigma and having found a first solo release by co-producer of Enigma's Jens Gad, I decided to purchase this release from Amazon.com. Jens is a superb handler of the guitar and it was a pleasure to hear his contributions on Enigma especially on 'Cross Of Changes' and the song 'Turn Around'. But it is good and fitting to see his first solo album be released, and whilst there is alot of similarity with Enigma, he brings to his album a more reflective, softer ambient driven sound that is both spiritual and refreshing. It is a nice chill-out album.

'Achilles' provides sweet and sensual beats with gregorian chants, soft guitar rifts, and a ethno-flavoured landscape. It should be noted that both Jens and his singer Helene are danish and this album is fashioned after numerous Danish folklore. Therefore you expect Danish lyrics and you do get a mixture of Latin and Danish with some English mixed in. All in all the mix is beautifully orchestrated and well-done.

The 12 tracks on this albums offers the listener pure music bliss, and it will take you on a journey that is much needed and is soul nourishing. There is no need to go through each track. This album will mean different things to all people who listen to it. Open your mind, have a open opinion and enjoy. I have and still do.

3 out of 5 stars Pretty nice music, a little bit short of Enigma........2006-11-22

It's quite nice, althought definitely not an Enigma, the female voice is beautiful, but quite monotonous all across most of the songs. Still a good addition to one's New Age sound collection.

4 out of 5 stars If you liked Enigma's "Cross of Changes"..........2006-11-14

Only now that I've heard The Nine Worlds do I appreciate how significant Jens Gad's influence was on the sound of Cross of Changes-era Enigma. The guitar style from that album's "I Love You, I'll Kill You" permeates, but never dominates this album, and I love it. The synth-based writing and arrangement styles are familiar as well. The title track, "The Nine Worlds," is something of a sonic "missing link" between the two albums, with a touch of chant, tablas, and a guitar sound one step closer to "I Love You, I'll Kill You" than the rest of this album.

The first Achillea song I heard was "Cape Porcupine". It remains my favorite song from the album, and is representative of what you'll hear throughout The Nine Worlds. Helene Horlyck's vocal stylings are featured on over half of the album's tracks, and she shares writing credits on those. Her high end is somewhat breathy, and has a piercing edge that frustrates my appreciation of her contributions, but the lower end of her range is beautifully smooth. "Othila - The Rune Masters" is a welcome exception, which I can only attribute to its guest writer/producer, John Tonks.

The Nine Worlds is a great listen for a bit, but there isn't enough variety to make it a really great album. I'm perfectly happy to listen to the whole thing passively, but when I'm listening actively, I typically only get through the first five or six songs ("Odin's Hill" is a highlight I never skip) before changing CDs. I would expect your affinity for The Cross of Changes to be a good indicator of how much you'll like The Nine Worlds.

4 out of 5 stars Austere Ethereal Beauty.......2006-08-30

This album needs a few listens to allow its true beauty to unfold.
If you are after the lush percussive sensory smorgasboard of Enigma , you will be disappointed.

Put aside your preconceptions and open your mind to the pure spare instrumental arrangements accompanied beautifully by Helene Horlyks sublime ethereal vocals . Everything is pared back to a delightful minimalism that sometimes sounds so spacious that the songs seem otherworldly.

Definitely a match to the other great works of Delerium, Enigma , Amethystium etc
