Year Zero (political notion)
I feel like there should be some mention of the political meaning of the term "Year Zero" in this article, since the title seems rather clearly based on the totalitarian political ideology of Pol Pot and his "Year Zero", the catastrophically authoritarian restructuring of Cambodian society. What would be the best place to add this description? Has Reznor commented on his intended meaning for the title? ⟳ausa کui × 20:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
remix.nin.com
Why was this removed? "Reznor himself strongly supports fan-made remixes of songs off of the album, as evidenced by his decision to upload every song in multi-track form to the official Nine Inch Nails remix website. Instrumental versions of the songs are also available there for download as mp3s." Zzzronnyzzz (talk) 17:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- I mainly removed it because it was not referenced. If you can find a source, feel free to replace it. Drewcifer (talk) 23:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Isn't the fact that Reznor created a remix website and uploaded multi-tracks to that very website reference enough? Sorry, I'm new to all this. Do I just have to mark that website as the reference? Zzzronnyzzz (talk) 01:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
GA nom on hold
- This doesn't have to deal with the article, but this page should be archived.
- You read my mind, I was thinking of doing that anyways.
- "all over the world" if it says that in the booklet you should use {{cite cd notes}} or change it to Numerous locations, or something along those lines
Done Used the suggested template. The template seems a little broken, but I'll bring that up on it's talk page. Seems fine for now here.
- Is HALO - 24 really the label it is on?
- That's not the label, but that's kind of the catolog number. And that's typically how catalog numbers are displayed. But for clarity's sake, I added a link to the NIN discog which clarifies the number.
- The Interscope catalog number is not the same as the halo number, may start with INT something. There may be a lot of different catalog numbers for the versions and they're not essential for listing (for example see With Teeth's). –Pomte 00:54, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- "Reznor reportedly began work on this next project by September 2006" maby change "by" to "in"
- I'm pretty sure "by" is the more appropriate word here.
- Agreed. There's a good chance that he started before September. –Pomte 00:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know what the rules are on this but saying NIN instead of Nine Inch Nails looks kind of tacky
DoneAgreed, fixed the one instance of NIN.
- "In August 2007 Reznor his plans to pitch the idea to television networks:" his → has
DoneReworded the sentence.
- Ref 11 needs a publisher
Done
- Same with 31
Done
- Leave a note on my talk page when this is taken care of. Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 00:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Note Looks like there was edit conflict as myself and Pomte were addressing the same issues simultaneously. I think everything got worked out though. Drewcifer (talk) 00:48, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry about that wasted duplicated effort. I'll remember to check if you are active next time. –Pomte 00:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Passed. :D Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 00:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Chart positions
According to its own reference, the New Zealand chart has Year Zero peaking at 20, not 2. I fixed it, but I'm wondering if it should just be taken out altogether since it's not Top Ten..? Zzzronnyzzz (talk) 04:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Good catch! I think I was looking at the "Weeks" column not the correct one. Nine Inch Nails discography had a ton of wrong numbers from the same source, which I fixed. I think it's ok to have non top-10 numbers. I'll actually add a few more from the NIN discog. Drewcifer (talk) 04:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
This album was used in CSI.
HYPERPOWER! and Survivalism were used in two CSI episodes. Take note of that.--Nightingale12 (talk) 07:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Doesn't really seem that notable to me. We can't mention everytime a track from the album is used anywhere. Drewcifer (talk) 08:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Spectrograph of My Violent Heart's static
I'm wondering why this isn't mentioned in the article. Should it be added? --Thaddius (talk) 15:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- I've added the image to the promotion and release section. Would saying that it resembles "the presence" be original research? -- Reaper X 17:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
That is not a spectrogram. What's the source again? 122.29.91.176 (talk) 15:18, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thaddius said Spectrograph (meter that reads lights over an Electromagnetic spectrum) but actually this is a Spectrogram. It's confusing since they are often used interchangeably. AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 15:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
No, that's not a spectrogram either. Spectrograms are supposed to show spectral magnitude as a function of frequency and what's shown in the picture is certainly not a function. It's a gimmick. And still no reliable source. Let's remove it. 122.29.91.176 (talk) 14:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC) I take it back, I misunderstood, it is actually a spectrogram if it's interpreted over time. Still can we have a reliable source please? Thanks. 122.29.91.176 (talk) 14:08, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
- The image of the spectrogram was captured from the song My Violent Heart using Sonic Visualiser. You can see a fuller example (with a time line) capture with different audio editors here and here AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 14:16, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, but this is WP:OR without a reliable source. 122.29.91.176 (talk) 22:58, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
- There is no synthesis or original research. You've looked at 3 pictures of the actual spectrogram and you still say it's OR? Sources for you: Salon.com [1], LA Valley Star [2], The Daily Mississippian [3], News.com [4]. AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 02:17, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, sorry guys. I meant spectrogram. --Thaddius (talk) 00:56, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm a little confused about this. The final album version of "My Violent Heart" fades out at the end while "The Warning" ends with the correct static. Is this a case of the initial leaked version of the song being different from the final version or is the article mistaken? If it is the former it may be worth mentioning that the leaked version is not identical to the final version. Feteti (talk) 22:57, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Genre
Yes, the album is industrial rock. There is no point in arguing about that. I do have to say though that this album is very electronic. It is one of their most electronic albums beside PHM. I do think electronic should be added to one of the genres. If anyone disagrees/objects to this, please reply. --24.107.207.98 (talk) 21:18, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
- The pure electronic tracks are Industrial. Industrial Rock is a subgenre of Industrial music that incorporates rock guitars & acoustic drums etc. Electronic music is a very broad classification for any music that utilizes electronic instruments. Electro-Industrial is a more appropriate classification.JanderVK (talk) 19:09, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
The Great Destroyer
The ending break of The Great Destroyer - which is the audio clip currently on the page for this album - is actually a sample from another piece of music. It was originally a music video compromised entirely of Atari sound effects, along with some original cgi. I am having difficulty tracking the source down now, but it even included a matrix parody. I never see this referenced anywhere, but I used to have the video a long time ago. 69.9.241.195 (talk) 20:56, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
Video Computer System by Golden Shower.--130.34.95.20 (talk) 15:14, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Noise rock
Suggesting this record be added to the Noise rock genre. It's a conventional rock album in many aspects, but incorporates more noisiness and atonality, as well as feedback/noise in general while still maintaining some semblance of melody. I hope this idea is considered. --K0R0M0 (talk) 22:09, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. Funnily enough, the noise rock page cites NIN as being "indebted" to noise rock. And YZ - with its glitch freakouts - is by far the best example of branching out into said genre in the NIN discography. Add it, I say. Ls883 (talk) 00:41, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
