I know there was a long thread about this album, but I searched and couldn't find it

I wanted to post the link to my review for it:

scroll down mid-way thru the page, under "Music", and you'll see my review.


So now that it's been out for a while - what are people thinking? Still listening to it? Where does it rank for you compared to other NIN albums?

i pooped out fast on it, but it's not the fault of the music. there's just been so much good stuff coming out lately, i've been easily distracted.

it's freakin PERFECT for listening at the gym, though.

I know what you mean, the good music has been coming fast and furious, and I haven't been able to devote as much time to things as I would like. 2007 is shaping up to be a really great year musically.

yeah, i got some good stuff from 2007

Wilco - sky blue sky
NIN - year zero
paul mccartney - Memory Almost Full
bjork - volta
maroon 5 - new album (guilty pleasure)
aqualung - memory man
air - pocket symphony
The Go Find - stars on the wall

probably leavin at least 2 or 3 more out i cant think of at the moment

i'm very psyched about the new McCartney CD - can't wait to hear it.

amy winehouse and mark ronson are getting a lot of love (i think you gotta have both - these albums are a matched set)

blonde redhead's 23 may be my album of the year

bjork's new one started out strong and is still growing on me

betty davis and sly & the family stone are killing me with their reissues

NIN is getting a little lost in all that, but i gotta say it doesn't suck that 2007 is such a good music year so far.

I LOVE the new NIN! it is a tour de force for Trent.

It is especially good to blast in the car while driving through hilly terrain at dusk.

Lots of good music this year (and it's only 1/2 way over) - - for newer stuff, I am liking Amy Winehouse - LCD Sound System - and looking forward to more that I haven't had the time to acquire yet.

I agree that it's a great night-time driving CD, and it *must* be played loudly to get the full effect

It's not so great for playing at the office... I tried and it just didn't work with my co-workers.

advanced leak... Mr. Bellamy, House of Wax, You Tell me, and Only Mama Knows is simply badass!
