From today's featured article  Nine Inch Nails performing in 2013 Year Zero is the fifth studio album by American industrial rock act Nine Inch Nails (pictured), released on April 17, 2007, by Interscope Records. Frontman Trent Reznor wrote the music and lyrics while touring for the group's previous release, With Teeth (2005). Contrasting Reznor's previously introverted style of songwriting, Year Zero is a concept album that criticizes contemporary policies of the U.S. government by presenting a dystopian vision of the year 2022. It is part of a project which includes a remix album and an alternate reality game (ARG). The Year Zero ARG expanded upon the album's fictional storyline by using media such as websites, pre-recorded phone messages, and murals. Year Zero received very positive reviews, many favorable toward the ARG. The album produced two singles, "Survivalism" and "Capital G", the latter released as a promotional single. Disputes arose between Reznor and Universal Music Group, parent company of Interscope, over the overseas pricing of the album. (Full article...)
