Here is my review of Zeitgeist.

I can't possibly compare these songs to the masterpieces on MCIS/SD/GISH otherwise I don't think I could even give ANY ratings. So these are just based on the album as a whole.

Initial reaction (day 1): very disapointed. could have been better.

end of the week: an okay album, not nearly as brilliant as MCIS/SD, but I wasn't expecing ANOTHER MCIS/SD. Overall it sounds like a heavier Machina, but less band and more Billy. Not that its a terrible album at all, but in terms of their earlier work its not as good imo.…

So I finally made it through NIN's Year Zero, in its entirety.
I feel this album could have been a lot better, a lot of it sounds over.. produced.. in terms of "noise". I read Trent improved a lot of it and it was just basically.. him making noise and that he did it for himself. Im totally down with that. But I think earlier NIN albums had a sort of.. feel to them. The music was stronger. The melodies were stronger. The lyrics were powerful.

I think the standout tracks are Survivalism, Hyperpower and In This Twilight. I was…

..and they're playing a stadium show with friggin fall out boy.. kelly clarkson and ludacris among other artists i'd rather die before i EVER see live. Figures. I hope they actually announce a non-stadium leg of their tour soon. I REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLLLLLY want to see them and its almost tempting to get tickets for the show at Giant's Stadium but… I know they will be coming around doing regular concerts sometime soon.. and i'd MUCH rather see them that way then with a bunch of bands/people I can't stand. *cries*
