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
Customer Reviews:
The future is now! Trent Reznor's comcept masterpiece........2007-08-05
Year Zero is part one of a two disc concept album about the future of America. Recorded with the help of Garageband Pro, Trent Reznor provides us a glimpse into an all but possible reality in the coming years. The marketing he used to promote the album was very fascinating indeed. Faux websites, video clips and other forms of multimedia . The album is a step up from With Teeth, We get an angry and motivated Trent Reznor. The previous was a self pity and bitter album, which is good but this one is awesome. The way this country is headed and if we don't do something about it, Year Zero will become a reality. If you enjoy concept albums or are a big fan of NIN, go out and get this disc! It's not that expensive and it comes with a slick lyric booklet and a color changing disc.
Brilliant!.......2007-08-04
I have no idea how Trent keeps reinventing the Industrial Genre, but he keeps doing it with brilliant success. At first listen the cd sounded a little strange - compared to his other stuff. But after the second try and while reading the lyrics I was hooked!
Give it a try, then try it again and I'm sure you will find yourself immersed in the world Trent has created. Not only will you be immersed, but you'll find yourself going back as often as you can.
One of the ten best cd's of 2007!
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.
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.
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.

Album Description
Four years since his last studio album, and following up on his highest charting radio single ever ("Personal Jesus", from Lest We Forget), Marilyn Manson returns with "Eat Me, Drink me". Art openings, soundtrack appearances, and personal circumstance have grabbed headlines for Manson in recent months, setting the stage for the release of Eat Me, Drink Me, which is unquestionably the artist's most personal statement yet. Always the provocateur, in what may be the ultimate subversion of the code of aggro-rock, the songs are immediately catchy - all jagged guitar hooks, anthemic choruses, with an overlying glam-rock sheen. Lyrically Manson has never been more riveting, seemingly having enough to draw from in his own life and from society at large to present a fresh, snarling vision.
Customer Reviews:
The Album's Musical Theme.......2007-08-06
I've been thinking this over for a while now. I won't bore you with the obvious: Manson changes his musical style every...yaddah, yaddah, yaddah. So what is the aesthetic theme behind this record?
After successive listens, it dawned on me that this album reads like a Psychedelic bluesy vampiric Spaghetti Western meets Alice in Wonderland filled with large flickering neon signs (probably of crucifixes above churches) littering the landscape. I get the sense he now fancies himself as a psychedelic Glam Rock outlaw cowboy roaming the dusty, desolate badlands of Hollywood, wrangling for himself (and subsequently breaking the hearts of) some dainty and not-so-dainty missus and ma'am's and harlots and young naive teenage actresses (which he is doing).
It certainly seems the case with songs like "Putting Holes in Happiness" and "Are you the Rabbit?". Even "They Said Hell's Not Hot" sounds like, dare I say it, 80's era Bon Jovi (Slippery When Wet?). There's also a very movie atmosphere running throughout this work and it wouldn't surprise me if the recent events of his life catalogued by this album began somewhere around the time he made a cameo in the vamp flick "Rise".
Anyway, these are just my $0.02 which I hope would aid in figuring out how to approach and define this album.
Manson must be tired.......2007-08-03
this collection seems slower and darker than usual. After listening, I wondered if Manson was depressed over the recent breakup with his wife, and it was affecting his music's mood.
brilliant.......2007-08-02
i love every song on here. the guitar work is amazing. its lyrically brutal and the man just knows how to write killer songs
Not the Best, Not the Worst.......2007-08-02
I was a little disappointed by this CD. After all the hype from Manson himself proclaiming this was the great gothic vampire album and all, that's what I expected it to be. But it's not terribly gothic (most of his work isn't), and other than "If I Was Your Vampire" it isn't overly vampiric. Manson comes off sounding either bitter or commonly sleazy most of the time. In an untypical Manson move, he's said openly that "Mutilation Is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery" is aimed at My Chemical Romance, which helps make this feel like a personal "F*** You" album.
On "Are You the Rabbit" and "Eat Me, Drink Me," Manson breaks away somewhat from the air of griping and enters a more exploratory style; it's too bad we don't get to see him continue that exploration through the rest of the album. But even the bad songs stay in your head, especially the loose-stitched "Heart-Shaped Glasses." At least this CD proves that Manson hasn't fallen prey to stagnation; he's still very much in the process of evolving.
Even the God of !@#$ can bleed........2007-08-01
I've been a Manson fan since way back in the Antichrist Superstar days. I really came to appreciate him when he followed up that album with Mechanical Animals. Rather than make Antichrist Superstar 2, he went in a completely different direction. Manson is essentially an artist who plays whatever he wants, and that is why I like him.
People whine that this album is "slow" as if Manson never has made slow depressing songs and was always a thrash metal band. I hear a lot of complaints from people who simply want Manson to be some anti right-wing anti religious for their sole amusement as if he is some monkey who should dance for their change.
Yeah, because rock n' roll is all about conforming to people's standards.
Manson was suicidal, got a divorce, was basically broken and bleeding. To fix his wounds he plugged an amp and a microphone into his scars and made one of the most interesting albums he's ever made. It's raw, it's experimental, it's depressing. Some people will hate this, their loss.
I was pretty disappointed with Golden Age of Grotesque (it was catchy but hollow) so my expectations were lowered. This album for me pretty much kicked my head in. It's the most emotionally haunting album since Mechanical Animals and he sounds even more vindictive and pissed off than he did with Holywood. Kudos to Tim Skold for creating such good guitar work which causes me to involuntarily air-guitar while listening to it.
Is it my favorite album of his? I would put Mechanical Animals and Holywood higher than this, they were a bit more cohesive thematically. This album isn't one where you can just pop it in any old time, but this is the album you can pop in when you are pissed off or depressed and love the hell out of it.
So in the end I am one of the Manson fans who actually gave this album a damn chance and liked it a lot. Manson has come back to school all these radio friendly manufactured-depression emo-screamo bands that whine about how "high school is oh so hard" what real down-and-dirty raw depressed experimental rock n' roll is all about.

In an industry dogged too much by cookie-cutter artists, Mat Kearney is a real breath of fresh air. Let's be honest: What music exec would ever suggest that a blending of John Mayer-like subtle pop, Toby Mac-like rap, and Chris Martin-esque vocals could be rolled together for a winning combination? Stylistically, that's what we get with Kearney's outstanding major-label debut Nothing Left to Lose. Nearly half of this album is culled from Kearney's Bullet release (2004), an independent label breakthrough success for the singer-songwriter. These gems include the pedestrian "Undeniable," the pseudo Coldplay ringer "In The Middle," and the my-girl-is-my-country metaphor of "Girl America." Kearney moves away from his hip-hop sensibilities into a more guitar-friendly pop vein on newer tracks "Crashing Down," "Can't Break Her Fall," "Where We Gonna Go From Here," and "Nothing Left To Lose." The starkly moving "All I Need" will grab your attention as Kearney sings of a couple whose efforts to escape their own relationship problems mirror their attempts to flee a natural disaster. One of the most attractive elements throughout is a sound unlike any other in Christian music. While Kearney does little to mask his own faith in the interest of gaining crossover appeal, it's his multi-flavored art that should draw listeners from all angles. Heart-gripping at moments, thought-provoking at others, Nothing Left to Lose is intelligent throughout and one of the top releases of the year thus far. --Michael Lyttle

A Complete Album from Start to Finish.......2007-06-06
I bought three CDs this morning for a six hour road trip: Fray, Howie Day and Nothing Left to Lose. I played Nothing Left to Lose twice from start to finish and only went back to the other two for the songs I liked.
Listening to Nothing Left to Lose I was reminded of the the first time I heard to Born to Run. Major talent. Great songs.
Sending copies to friends now and an extra one for me because I know I will wear this one out quickly.
A "surprising" good album.....start to finish........2007-06-02
I say "surprising" only because this type of music is a little out of my normal element (I typically listen to industrial, dance-electronica....etc...but that's another story). "Nothing Left to Lose" was really the reason why I purchased the album and, after listening to the whole CD several times, I've realized that there are definitely other songs worth noting.
Some may be turned off by his "rap" style and feel that it's used to cover up some of his songwriting or singing weakneses. I think it's done just right and he doesn't get too caught up in it. Right when you think he's been talking awhile he starts up with the melody/harmony and brings you right back into the song. It's a very nice combination.
I purchased 2 other new albums at the same time as this one, but I can't seem to take Mat's out of the player. THAT, for me, is a sign of a strong album top-to-bottom. As most outlets are selling this album cheaper than the "normal" CD, I would highly recommend giving this one a try....you won't be disappointed.
Just buy it........2007-05-30
I purchased "Nothing Left to Lose" for the title track and "Undeniable." What I found was a rare CD I can listen to, front to back, over and over again. Some may find his approach unconventional, and it is, but I find it brilliant as well. Wonderful music, pure poetry for lyrics... just wow. My absolute favorite track is "In The Middle," with "Bullet" running a close second. Mat Kearney is unique and extremely talented. Just take my lead and give this one a shot.
Good purchase.......2007-05-26
I had absolutely no problems at all with my purchase. It arrived on time and was what I expected. I would recommend.
One Of A Kind.......2007-05-21
I was immediately taken aback by the hip-hop/rap elements of this production, but I soon came to appreciate that it serves the interests of the music perfectly. It's certainly not used as a crutch by Kearney, as he possesses tremendous pipes.
I also hear elements of Coldplay ("In the Middle") and Oasis, and while some might knock Kearney for being derivative, I ask, where else can you hear these sounds combined in one expertly crafted package?
There is nothing else out there quite like this gem from Mat Kearney. I'm so glad I found it, albeit somewhat belatedly.

Outstanding.......2007-07-30
This is a fantastic cd for any mood you're in! If you're feeling down, listening to it will pick you up and revive your spirit! If you are already in a great mood, this cd will enhance that feeling and keep you rolling through your day.. or night! My favorite time to pop it in is when I am overwhelmed and completely stressed out - ready to collapse or just give up on the day! The title track - Nothing but the Water - builds up to the most energetic, rhythmic, inspirational peak, then slows down at the end to completely remove every last ounce of stress from head to toe. :)
Nothing But the Water? Yea that's pretty much all you need........2007-07-28
My first exposure to Grace Potter and the Nocturnals was live, and that night I picked up this CD right after their set ended. It didn't leave my CD player for weeks, and that was only because I ordered their first CD "Original Soul". Though back to the business at hand. The CD has a very 70's feel to it, and thankfully doesn't sound overproduced like alot of today's CDs. There's a perfect blend of songs, higher energy tunes like "Sweet Hands" and "Nothing But the Water", bluesy tunes like "2:22", and mellower tunes like "Toothbrush and My Table" and "Ragged Company" which have a sort of a 'sit back and take it all in' vibe to them. I've already worn out that first copy I bought of the album and have purchased a 2nd as well, money well spent. If you haven't seen them in concert, do yourself a favor and do so as well, you won't be disappointed in the CD or the show.
Got to Listen!.......2007-07-13
Amazing album. Grace Potter is an amazing artist and this album is a must hear. Recorded in an empty barn, the band just hung out for a week and recorded music together, they sound like they have been playing together for years. What a great band and great soul.
Very promising new artist.......2007-03-02
There is a blues and gospel influence on the songs on this disc although the songs are not straight blues or gospel. You can hear this in Grace's voice and the arrangements. She reminds me somewhat of Susan Tedeschi, who is also from New England. This is a very strong effort from a young artist. I think she can be around a long time if she stays true to her roots and avoids doing work that the record companies think they can sell better.
Rips A Rock & Roll Hole.......2007-02-25
The music on "Nothing But the Water" grabbed me as I audio-browsed from a retailer sound wall. The opening track "Toothbrush & My Table" grabbed me as Grace's powerful vocals introduced me to this young singer, "I know I done you wrong but here we are face to face." Her band runs hot on many of the stellar tracks. "Sweet Hands" rips a rock & roll hole with the band playing flat out with Scott Tournet's electric slide a standout. Grace's no-holes-barred vocals bust it through the roof, "Seems there's nothing I can do to get a little bit of love from the hands of you." "Nothing But the Water Part 2" is a stunner with Grace's surging B-3 organ setting the pace. The DVD shot by Vermont Public Television is an excellent video presentation that reveals this a hot live band. Potter gives DVD homage to Lucinda Williams by inserting Williams' "Joy" into the middle of her own "Joey." This excellent independent release gives the promise for more. Room for growth presents itself in the songwriting; some of the songs could benefit from more melodic imagination. What is here is worth repeated listening. Enjoy!

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

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

Culled from the band's ten year, six album career, Lest we Forget: The Best of Marilyn Manson features some of the greatest rock anthems of the last decade. Opening with "The Love Song" from Holy Wood, it proceeds to the first of a handful of cover songs which have made it as singles. The decadent, beefed up version of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" may not vary much from the original but the band do it the appropriate Goth justice; "Tainted Love" adds a menacing, industrial-glam to the electric northern soul of Soft Cell's version; and the one that broke them into the UK mainstream, "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics sounds as good as ever. So, they do a good cover but it's really the fists in the air crowd-pleasing anthems that back up the band's iconic imagery. The high-energy signature tune, "Beautiful People" and tracks like "Disposable Teens" or "The Fight Song" typify the band's intelligent approach to rock'n'roll posturing. While many may have all the albums already, Lest We Forget is the perfect addition for anyone who likes the odd song but was too fearful to delve any further in the world of Marilyn Manson. --Georgina Collins
Customer Reviews:
Great mix for the "casual" Manson fan........2007-07-09
If you're a fan of the work, but not enough to buy all the collection, this is a good place to start. Most of the bigger hits from the last few albums, but the last few kind of felt like filler to me.
Less We Forget.......2007-06-14
How can you make a best of album full of 80's cover songs.. Nothing orginal about this... Its all been done before..
Mind Numbing Rock Music.......2007-04-11
Manson proves he is very talented. Just listening to his cd is Mind numbing. Good Solid rock music, with great covers and lots of meaning behind the lyrics. Just sit back and actually listen to what he is saying in his music, and you will understand how his mind works.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Riding the momentum of the hit single "Learn to Fly," which hit No. 1 on the modern-rock charts long before this album's release, the Foo Fighters' third record is unarguably its most refined and poppy. The ominous riff that the opens "Stacked Actors" (which sounds like something Kurt Cobain could have hacked out on Nirvana's gnarly In Utero) is pretty much a red herring. The 10 tunes that follow are a succession of hook-laden pop songs tarted up with guitarist-vocalist (and former Nirvana drummer) Dave Grohl's thick guitars and increasingly sugar-sweet vocals. Nearly every cut on There Is Nothing Left to Lose has the potential of following "Learn to Fly" up the charts. The production is big and friendly and songs like "Generator," "Aurora," and "Headwires" just melt in your mouth. And even though the Foo Fighters' latest is seductively sweet in sound, there are just enough rough edges and lyrical angst to keep things interesting. --Adem Tepedelen
Customer Reviews:
One of the Best Rock Albums of the '90s.......2007-01-27
Probably the only album that I can honestly say does not contain a weak song on the entire cd.
An incredible combination of lyrics, vocals, electric guitar, and drums that accompany each other perfectly...which seems a difficult task in this music genre. For me personally, it often seems that in the albums of other bands, either the vocals, guitar, or drums override the other two...but not in this album.
Dave Grohl has outdone himself (yet again). It's the musical version of caffeine and an electric album to work out to. Taylor Hawkins' drums are solid, powerful, and clean (listen to the first 20 seconds of Gimme Stitches and you will see what I mean).
Although "Learn to Fly" is probably the most recognized track (with an incredibly funny music video to match)...most of the other songs are equally memorable and high energy and all are worth listening to again and again.
Plenty to gain.......2006-11-10
One of the best young bands to come our way in a very long time.
A perfect blend of pop and rock.......2006-06-11
The Foo Fighters certainly had a lot to prove when they released this gem back in 99'. Avoiding the sophmore slump in a big way, Dave and the gang released one of the top albums of the 90's (and of all time in many rock fan's eyes). Would "There Is Nothing Left to Lose" compare to "The Colour and the Shape", or would it be a dissapointment. Well, although the album hasn't been heralded over time as TCATS has, it certainly deserves to be. Every track here is a fantastic blend of pop and rock, from Stacked Actors to M.I.A. The highlight is of course Aurora, a little love song Dave wrote about his life in Seattle, that just happens to be this Foo Fighter fanatics favorite of all time. The truth is this isn't the Colour and the Shape. However TINLTL certainly deserves to be recognized as one of the greatest albums of the 90's, and one of Dave Grohl's most wonderful achievements.
Very Enjoyable!!!!.......2006-05-21
The number of cd's that an individual owns is not an indicator of that person's musical expertise-it just means that the person likes to shop for music. Everyone has different musical tastes and will view music differently. This is not my favorite Foo Fighters cd-"The Colour and the Shape" and "In Your Honor" are..but this is a favorite in my collection..of close to 2000 cd's.
Enjoyable.......2006-04-06
This is a solid release for the Foo Fighters. This perhaps stands as one of their best albums, from the totally awesome opening song "Stacked Actors" to the slower concluding song "MIA", I say this isn't a "boring and predictable" album. What, did the person below me know every single chord Dave was going to play in advance? Please, it doesn't matter if you have 2000 or 2000000 CDs, anyone with a remote taste for rock music should like at least 3 songs on TINLTL.
Like I mentioned above, the opening song "Stacked Actors" is truely amazing, with it's head-banging chorus and soft and dreamy verses. "Breakout" is also fast-paced, and of course it's followed by the big single "Learn To Fly", which is how I was introduced to the Foo Fighters. Actually, every song on here I like, so I won't bother naming any more. Indeed, it's a rare thing for me to be able to enjoy listening to a whole ablum without skipping any songs.
As a whole, I think the Foo Fighters are a very mature band, and I appreciate the fact that they don't need to swear every 3 words in order to have cool songs. And don't be fooled: Nirvana was an entirely different kind of band than the Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl is awesome on drums, though, I must admit. So anyways, the Foo Fighters are worth getting into, because they always have solid releases and are just fun to listen to. Pick this one up, you'll like it.

Amazon.com essential recording
Sting's second and most conceptually dense solo album moved on from jazz to ideas picked up from Latin music. Even when he's not using Latin music's tricky polyrhythms, the melodies of the ballad "Be Still My Beating Heart" and the hit dance single "We'll Be Together" suggest he'd been listening to lots of salsa. If you can sting, you can cross-pollinate, too, and there are some other subtle hybrids here, notably the Gil Evans Orchestra's gliding arrangement of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" and the reggae-in-a-Cole Porter suit of "Englishman in New York." Of course, the former schoolteacher has some lyrical messages to deliver and the three songs that originally made up the second side of a double LP are a bitter meditation on Latin American politics and history. --Douglas Wolk
Customer Reviews:
Definate Must Have.......2007-03-19
My favorite songs on this cd are 'Little Wing', 'Be Still My Beating Heart', and 'Sister Moon'. The Spanish version of this cd (Nada Como el Sol) contains 'Mariposa Libre' which he does a beautiful job on, his accent is great. These cd's are definately worth paying full price for, you won't be sorry.
I'm Stung by Sting.......2007-01-02
Not too long ago, I reviewed Sting's debut album, Dream of the Blue Turtles, as much as I love that recording, this album is where Sting truly shines as an artist.
I have a few favorites on this CD, Englishman In New York...always reminds me of my grandfather for some reason, The Lazarus Heart, and a knock out version of Jimi Hendrix's, Little Wing. Even though I am a huge fan of Hendrix, I really love this version of this song. The whole album was very thoughtfully constructed and emotionally created. Although I do not know Sting personally, I get this feeling that he's pretty down to earth. Whenever I listen to him, I feel a little more grounded, a little more in touch with my own creativity, and a little more centered and better able to deal with my fellow human. I don't fully know why this is, I haven't fully analyzed the whole thing, I just feel more gracious to the human species after listening to Sting. Of course, I could quickly put on Marilyn Manson and lose the feeling, but I think I'll stick with Sting.
For the longest time I had a poster sized version of the cover art for this album hanging up on my wall. I recently retired it to the garage. I guess it's not too "cool" to post your influences up on the wall when you're 41. At least, that's what my wife thinks. She has a vested interest in my "coolness" because if I'm a dork, she's an even bigger dork because she married me. But sometimes I go out to that lonely old garage where I have my records and my old turntable and my old furniture from my bachelor days...hey, I just noticed something...all of MY STUFF IS IN THE GARAGE...what the hell is that about...oh, well...but I go in that garage and I listen to my Miles Davis, my Stan Getz, my Sting and I just allow myself to put things in perspective. I don't get over analytical and I don't get too sentimental, I just find a way to integrate the two like yin and yang. I feel Sting does the same on this album. This, his second recording after the Police, is slowly moving away from the poppiness of his former band, and into the visionary dreaminess that would trademark much of his work.
I love this recording and I know you will, too, but then again, what do I know? I'm just the grandson of an Englishman in San Dimas.
Peace & Blessings,
john 'the Light Coach'
Nothing Like Sting.......2006-08-17
By far one of his best (if not his BEST) album. Featuring hit songs like `They Dance Alone', `Englishman in New York', `Be Still My Beating Heart', and (my personal favorite) `Sister Moon'. Sting's creative genius shines through this album, no two tracks have the same melody, tempo, or meaning- every single one is unique. Ranging in songs from the optimistic, jazz-like, `Englishman in New York' to the soft ballad `The Secret Marriage', Sting touches on themes of love, happiness, conformity, war, peace, success, and failure. Added to the lyrics is a description that explains why each song was written and how the melody and words were engendered. This is a must have album for fans everywhere and a great addition to any music collection.
Sting at his best.......2006-07-23
This is by far the best solo album of Sting. From the very first time I heard it I was 100% sure that it would be impossible for him to make a better album. Another reason why I particularly like this album is because I used to listend to it when I was in Kenya.
The variety of the music stles in this album is amazing and whatever style Sting experiments with he excels. In the plus of the album is that it has the lyrics.
16 years later all the songs still sound great and especially the song Fragile is as timely as ever.
Buy this cd, sit back, and enjoy great music
Sting - ... NOTHING LIKE THE SUN (1987).......2006-06-20
While THE DREAM OF THE BLUE TURTLES proved that Sting had solo potential, it was the subsequent album, ... NOTHING LIKE THE SUN, that proved that the ex-Police frontman was here to stay. A big part of what makes the album so great is that, unlike on BLUE TURTLES, Sting isn't trying so hard; he just lets the music flow. The result is a pop masterpiece far different from the other pop albums of the time. The songs are more layered than those on BLUE TURTLES, and also considerably more moody. Branford Marsalis' saxophone really shines, particularly on the delightful opener "The Lazarus Heart", just one of many great songs on the album - "Be Still My Beating Heart", the classic "Englishman In New York", the beautiful "They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)", and "Straight To My Heart" are some others. Also wonderful is an amped-up, jazzed-out remake of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing", on which Sting is accompanied by Gil Evans and his orchestra. Considered by many to be Sting's best solo effort, ... NOTHING LIKE THE SUN is an intelligent pop masterpiece that ranks among the best and most important albums of the 1980s.

Marilyn Manson started out as a depraved, marginally talented group of freaks that played a caustic but undeveloped brand of metallic industrial noise. Then Trent Reznor stepped into the studio for seven months with the band, and Manson emerged with the most intense, visceral, mechanical metal album since The Downward Spiral. Antichrist Superstar is a horror-house of grisly atrocities that stains as indelibly as a bathful of warm blood. Brooding rhythms collide with corrosive samples and buzzsaw guitar riffs, while vocalist Marilyn croons irresistible melodies in the voice of a vagrant regurgitating broken light-bulb shards. Essential listening, regardless of how much input Reznor had. --Jon Wiederhorn
Customer Reviews:
The works of Friedrich Nietzsche set to music,.......2007-08-05
Antichrist Superstar is an excellent disc. Divided into three parts, the songs tell the story about child who grows up into a disturbed person that you'll want to fear. A product of his enviroment you might say. In some ways it's an autobiographical tale that's a hommage to the philisophical works of Friedrich Nietzsche. Grant it, if he made an album soley based upon his works, it might be a tad boring. But, when you add some shock value to it, people will want to buy it, After listening to the album, Manson is a very well read person. If you can get past him trying to be the uber shockmaster, you'll realize that he's a very talented and bright person, Antichrist Superstar is followed up by the slightly superior disc The Mechanical Animals. Highly recommended.
The videos for this album were obviously influenced by Alejandro Jordoroswki. Marilyn Manson also has great taste in movies as well.
The "Sgt. Peppers" of our time!.......2007-08-01
This is MY "Sgt. Peppers!" It flows so beautifully and tells such a great story. It evokes incredible emotions with the songwriting and lyrics and has stunning textures throughout.
Marilyn Manson is a supernaturally gifted genius........2007-07-16
It's no wonder he has intimidated sooo many people from old school metalheads to christians and goths. He stepped too far out of a lot of peoples comfort zone.
Antichrist Superstar is in my opinion his ultimate. Each song is a masterpiece and you never get bored because its so orchestrated in sound dimension, he manipulates his voice so perfectly whereas most imitators just sound like cookie monster. The horror samples perfectly enhance each song without distraction.
It's funny because I use to hate Marilyn Manson, BUT it was only right-wingers manipulations and lies, until I gave this cd one listen... now nothing compares!
Anti-people, now you've gone to far, so here's your Antichrist, Superstar.
