{"product_id":"nine-inch-nails-year-zero-cd","title":"Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eNine Inch Nails' Year Zero is a dystopian concept album about an America on the brink, and this CD edition captures one of Trent Reznor's most ambitious projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2007, the album imagines a near-future United States run by a theocratic government, drugged water supplies and endless war. Reznor built a sprawling alternate-reality game around it, with clues hidden on tour merchandise and in websites. Co-produced with Atticus Ross, the music is just as dense: glitchy beats, distorted textures and buried noise that rewards headphones and close attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Beginning of the End charges in with punk urgency, while Survivalism is the lead single, a stomping, chant-driven protest song with a hook that sticks like tar. Capital G sneers at power with sly, menacing groove, and The Good Soldier slinks along with an eerie calm that only makes its message hit harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComing after the more straightforward With Teeth, Year Zero felt like Reznor stretching his legs, more political and more experimental, and it helped set the stage for his later film-score work with Ross. Nearly two decades later its vision of surveillance and propaganda feels uncomfortably close to home, which only adds to its power as one of the band's richest albums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499444543793,"sku":"602517301566","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_830ed7ea-3851-45d0-bf26-f304f0a48ddf.jpg?v=1794507006","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/nine-inch-nails-year-zero-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
