View More By Nine Inch Nails Our ReviewTrent Reznor has always worked “outside the box,” thinking up some new recording process, Web- or computer-based add-on experience, or marketing technique to spice things up. Here, he offers up the previous NIN release, Year Zero, to a handful of musicians and artists and asks for their own remixes. Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D (reading, to the careful eye, as Year Zero Remixed in “Leetspeak” – Google it if you’re not a computer geek and it’s Greek to you). To Reznor’s credit right off the top, he builds the guest list here with the skill of a real producer: remix demons PiRATE RoBOT MiDGET, indie electro-dance band The Faint, Olof Dreije of electronic duo The Knife, members of New Order, political poet/MC Saul Williams, sexy British dance-poppers Ladytron, and NIN co-conspirator Alessandro Cortini and his band ModWheelMood are among the artists at the (re)mixing board. While we can’t say the mood is any lighter than the bleak (yet movingly so) Year Zero, knowing there’s a wide range of talent here playing with someone else’s Tinker Toys makes it a highly entertaining listening experience. You can actually hear each contributor’s own imprint on their tracks, from producer Stefan Goodchild (he of Peter Gabriel’s Real World camp) and his big percussion sounds on “The Warning,” to the adventurous strings of Kronos Quartet in “Another Version of the Truth.” Kudos to Reznor for always moving ahead, and not expending energy looking back when he’s well into his second decade of creative invention.. Customer ReviewsNine Inch Nails' Best Remix Album to date (5 stars)5-Stars for the best remix album from Nine Inch Nails to date. Now in the past, many Nine Inch Nails' remix albums have been "okay" but nothing too special. With previous albums, you may have found one or two songs that you liked, but it was hardly enough to say that you loved the album. Not the case here with Y34rZ3r0r3mix3d. There is a tremendous amount of creativity jam-packed into this album. What's really great about the Amazing Remixes! (5 stars) Trent and all the remixers did an EXCELLENT job with this halo. I was expecting for some of them to sound the same as the original, but that is certainly not the case. Some of the songs can be really repetitve (Capital G & The Great Destroyer) but they're still good. I didn't really care for HYPERPOWER! or My Violent Heart on Year Zero, but the remixes are great. I like how Saul Willams hypes up Gunshots by Computer. My favorites are: Y34RZ3r0r3MIX3d (5 stars) gR34t as Usu4l BiographyFormed: 1989 in Cleveland, OHGenre: Alternative Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Nine Inch Nails were the most popular industrial group ever and were largely responsible for bringing the music to a mass audience. It isn't really accurate to call NIN a group; the only official member is singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor, who always remained solely responsible for NIN's musical direction (he was, however, supported in concert by a regular backing band). Unlike the vast majority of industrial artists, Reznor wrote melodic, traditionally structured songs where lyrics...
