NINE INCH NAILS / Year Zero Remixed (2007)

Or Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D, if you prefer the leet-ness, is, unsurprisingly, a collection of remixed tracks from the Year Zero album that was released just seven months prior. It fulfilled contractual commitments that NIN had to Interscope Records. They wanted another album and they got it. Trent gave them a turd. If I hated my record label, I'd probably want to do the same, but that doesn't make me cringe any less when hearing it. It offers an even less enjoyable listening experience than the original album, and lacks any kind of cohesive flow.

Songs of Note: The Great Destroyer (remixed by Modwheelmood); Another Version of the Truth (remixed by Kronos Quartet & Enrique Gonzalez Müller)
