new NIN album 'Year Zero' dropping in April!!
Yeah, Trent is a clever bastard and this whole viral marketing thing with the hidden messages revealing URLs, the phone number etc is crazy. It doesn't all make sense yet but it will over time. Basically, Trent has said that he "essentially, wrote the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist",and that's what Year Zero is - it's a conceptual album set 15 years in the future, and the websites reflect various aspects of Trent's "vision".
Have you seen all the different sites? There's a few of them and they are very strange.
Two tracks have leaked so far:
My Violent Heart - This was apparently discovered on a USB stick in a bathroom after a NIN show in Portugal I believe. I like this track a lot.
and
Survivalism - Promo's of this have been sent out as this is supposedly the first single. Have only listened to it once so far and thought it was OK, I need to listen to it again to judge it properly.

I don't think trent ever intended to make the movie. I think he just meant that he approached making the album and the marketing campaign as if it was the soundtrack to the "movie" he had conceptualized in his head. Would be tight if he did make it but I don't think that was ever on the cards...although with mr. Reznor you never know. Prince has done similar things in the past as well.

Find the email address on iamtryingtobelieve.com and send it an email (after reading through the site) - you will get a very interesting response.
I am going to sticky this topic since it seems like new information and discoveries are coming in each day.
"The Presence" is starting to freak me out already. Spmething about that hand....
The Presence - Legitimate Phenomenon or Parepin-induced Mass Psychosis?

So I didn't think there would be another song that I like EVEN MORE than what already leaked.... and then "The Beginning Of The End" got played on KROQ Radio.....I have a radio rip, and holy fucking shit, it's good.
Right click the track title and save as to D/L the song. It's fucking quality. My favorite of all the leaks so far, and by the way, my order is now this:
1. The Beginning Of The End
2. Me, I'm Not
3. Survivalism
4. My Violent Heart
5. In This Twilight
I overkilled Survivalism already so now I prefer Me, I'm Not.
Oh, and a new site has just been discovered: http://www.thewaterturnedtoblood.net
It was apparently discovered in the Survivalism video, which is on YouTube but I haven't watched it yet. Gonna take a look now.

This video will never make it onto MTV. Watch it and you'll see why. Very controversial, but fucking cool.
