Slightly half a year after the release of "Year Zero," (2007) Trent Reznor has released an album of remixes for that album, Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D (Year Zero Remixed, 2007).
Sometimes remix albums can truly suck, but both "Further Down the Spiral" (1995) and "Things Falling Apart" (2000) were good, (especially the former) so one should expect something of quality for a "Year Zero" remix album. But even though I expected Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D to be good, I was surprised by how good I found it.
Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D is a little different from past NIN remix albums in that several other artists were brought in to remix individual songs. Each artist, such as Ladytron, the Faint, Saul Williams, Stephen Morris & Gillian Gilbert etc, put their own unique spin on the songs, so each track sounds pretty unique from the one that preceded it, yet everything works and it makes for a very interesting listen. The result is a remix album that sounds like a bunch of artists screwed around with "Year Zero," warped it, and then put it back together. Because several different artists stylized each song uniquely, Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D is always taking twists and turns, and one never knows where one will wind up. And while some remix songs are rather tedious, every track on Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D is thoroughly engrossing, and I say that as someone who generally doesn't like remixes.
If you own "Year Zero" and like it, Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D is highly recommended as a companion piece. But even if you don't own that album, fans of dance/electronica remixes will get something out of Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D, as these tracks all sound great. Although one can appreciate this CD more fully if one is familiar with "Year Zero."

I've only listened to it once(got it just a few hours ago), but when I did, it was via an iPod & professional studio headphones (not ear buds) thus allowing me the ability to focus completely on it, even though I was commuting to work on a city bus, lol.
Leading up to this release I listened to my entire NIN library a couple of times (includes nearly every Halo 'cept for certain spendy singles) and I must say that year after year Trent continues to push himself creatively and artistically forward project after project to find new, yet familiar soundscapes to sonically paint on and in. Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D is a different approach to his now usual routine that follows every major studio release he does; the remix album. It's not jaw-droppingly different, but still sounds unique, and I found that to be exciting and inspiring.
His collaboration with Saul Williams on this (and producing Saul's stunning new album "Niggy Tardust") is breathtaking as is breaking out of his normal creative cocoon and jamming with so many different bands and composers then weaving their approaches of these cuts into his own, hitting "puree" in the mixing booth and coming up with something unusual and cool on every track.
This is not meant to be played softly in the background at your next social function (and if you didn't care for "With Teeth" or "Year Zero", stay FAR away from these modern NIN waters, you won't like them/it either).
Instead, for maximum results, I recommend how I enjoyed it so much on my first pass - with a good set of real ear googles, a healthy volume, minimal distractions and the desire to hear Trent surprise all of us once again by being unpredictable and in my opinion, brilliant.

I have been a fan of Nine Inch Nails since the beginning. I own every single Halo and I never really got very excited about the remixed albums. I would buy them of course, to keep up with the collection of releases, but I would catch myself thinking, "its good, but its a remix album." So, when this came out it was no surprise to me that I wasn't jumping for joy. Then, I listened to it. This is, in my opinion, the best NIN remix album since Fixed. I never thought I would catch myself saying this, but there are some remixed tracks on this that I like better than the original. I know, crazy. Just give a whirl it is well worth it. Oh, and you are a fan of the "industrial dance" scene, there are a few tracks on that will blow your mind. Highly, highly, highly recommended.
One last thing, the "make your own mix" thing is totally cool. How often do you see an artist present their material in that way and allow the fan to make their own art from it and then get to share it?? HUGE F-ING PROPS to Trent Reznor!!

There are 2 huge values to this product:
1) As far as remixes go (and there are plenty of free user-made remixes of this album out there which aren't bad) I typically find remixes to feel like an afterthought and not as good as the originals. But this collection of updated versions are as good as the originals, and I've listened to them all at least 20 times so far. At least.
2) If you make music you'll love the fact that there's a second disc with all of the songs from the original album split out by high-quality source tracks and usable in Garageband, Ableton Live, etc. No one else has done this and it's pretty admirable -- one more example of Trent Reznor treating his fans with respect and providing them with what they really want.
Thanks Trent!

I actually liked the mix version better than the original. The replay ability is really good also. I can listen to the whole album over and over again.

So-so.
I love the remix done by Ladytron and there was one other outstanding remix (I think by the New Order/Joy Division dude) offered here but all in all I was dissapointed. Read more

Trent, aka NIN, moves me body and soul with his music, always has, because just as with my kids, I love every album, just differently because they are all inherently different... Read more

Only for fans of Year Zero; worthwhile for them, though.
I don't usually listen to remixes. But I think Year Zero is the best NIN album to date, so I took a chance on Year Zero Remixed. Read more

Reworking a Masterpiece
A collection of excellent remixes of already excellent songs. The highlights include The Great Destroyer remix, Meet Your Master remix, and My Violent Heart remix. Buy it.
