Product Description
Slam, aka Orde Meikle and Stuart McMillan, have taken inspiration from the records that brought them together in the first place; Tom Tom Club, Prince, Mantronix and urban labels like Celluloid and Sugarhill. The music that was literally their ‘Year Zero'. The result is an album that is their most accomplished to date. They have taken a step back to go forward.

After the success of the last album Alien Radio and its collaborations with Dot Allison and Tyrone Palmer, Slam were confident that Year Zero should be song based. Dot Allison and Tyrone Palmer return alongside New York house producer/vocalist Elbee Bad, Hope Grant (aka Soma artist Envoy) and the legendary voices of Anne Saunderson (wife of Detroit techno originator Kevin Saunderson) and Billie Ray Martin. On Year Zero, Slam have made the album they always threatened to make; an album of fully realized songs and future classics.

Nine Inch Nails' sixth studio release, Year Zero takes the concept album further than it may have ever gone before. In advance of its release, URLs were hidden in tour t-shirts, music- and image-filled USB drives were 'found' at concerts, and dozens of websites have been packed with conspiracy stories that all involve the year 2022 or 'Year Zero.' Each clue is part of a cohesive whole, requiring a listener to follow an exhaustive web trail to grasp the entire tale. Focusing specifically on the music, "The Beginning of the End," the powerful first vocal track, is like the sonic and lyrical equivalent of an emotional ascension to a rollercoaster's peak, with the last few cacophonic seconds equaling the fall of individual freedoms. "Survivalism," Year Zero's first single, follows with guest vocalist/Slam artist Saul Williams pumping up the passion in its urgent chorus. While still industrial in genre, it's clear that Trent Reznor's musical evolution finds him bringing more mellow songs to the mix than he has on previous discs ("The Good Soldier," "The Greater Good," "In This Twilight") as well as an increased number of funk-affected rhythms, specifically in standout tracks "Capitol G" and "Me, I'm Not." Devotees of NIN's harder sound will appreciate the metallic crunch of "My Violent Heart" and "Meet Your Master." On the whole, the Nine Inch Nails we hear on Year Zero is less focused on producing heavy music and more focused on delivering its heavy, conspiratorial doomsday message. --Denise Sheppard

Average. Nothing Amazing........2007-07-12

or special, but not bad either. Good to have, but its not going to stick in your player. Not as good as With Teeth.

Post-Apocalyptic Dance Music for the Masses.......2007-07-09

Reznor described this album's concept as, "The world has reached the breaking point - politically, spiritually and ecologically." If it's really "set 15 years in the future," why does its world feel all too familiar (check out the lyrics to "Capital G")? This is Reznor at his most political, with the stormtroopers banging on the recording studio's doors.

"Survivalism" is the best track from NIN since "March of the Pigs" launched the "Downward Spiral"-era in 1994. The rest of the album alternates between "sound collages" (Reznor's term) and funk/dance grooves. I have to say that I'm not much of a fan of the "funk" tracks--the only musical flaw on an otherwise five-star album.

Reznor did it again..........2007-07-09

after a more easy listening album ( which is not bad), Trent is back in the darkness and brought us an awesome album, very intense and powerful....this album should be on my top 5 of the year....

abysmally dull, derivative, naive and paranoid lyrics from a political poser.......2007-07-08

Trent's glory days ended with the past millennium. While WITH TEETH was already showing signs of weariness it still featured a few catchy tunes. But YEAR ZERO is Trent's nadir and Waterloo at once. I couldn't care less about his political rants because they are obviously catering to the current trend. They are so embarrassingly hackneyed and dumb that I just cannot take them seriously. Maybe If I were an angry, disaffected, 18-year-old teenager, I'd gobble down each and every word of it. But I've matured since then and can see right through his threadbare, political agenda.
To make matters worse, there isn't a single memorable hook line or melody.
It sounds improvised and random with nothing to perk you up. Where are the glorious soundscapes from THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL? Apaprently, Trent was having a laugh in the studio with YZ. He was testing how far he can go with nonexistent music before people quit buying his product. I believe some people would even be praising his output if it consisted of nothing but him reading the phone book. There is no way I'm ever gonna listen to this cd which makes a greater frisbee than cd. I didn't feel a single song. And the lyrics put me off it straight away.
Maybe Trent should realise that he's past his sell-by-date and he should just go back to lifting weights and join some political party instead. It would be more genuine and dignified than this outrageous excuse for a cd.

Brilliant........2007-07-07

This latest album from Trent Reznor was fantastic, while listening to this album during the past couple of months I realised what a great album it realy is and that its probably one of his best although it does take time to get use to the new sound, it almost sounds like a fresh start. Year Zero is the eagerly anticipated followup to the 2005 release With Teeth it didn't take to long for this to come out unlike the previous albums which usually take almost 5 years or maybe more. Anyway Year Zero is a concept album set fifteen years into an apocalyptic future and it delivers more of the band's trademark industrial rock riffs and dark lyrical subject matter, this album was also more experimental and has more sound effects and distorted beats like in the song The great destroyer and also has a few loud synthisizer beats. The album also has a lot to do with politics and seems very relevant especially in the U.S., instead of focusing on his own tortured emotional state Trent takes a stab at the Bush administration, government conspiracies, greed and corruption ect. there is some pretty good stuff in here as well as some hidden messages which you can check out on other websites I didn't bother with this since I just wanted to listen to the music.

Survivalism is the first single taken from this album and its a very good and catchy song with a great beat then theres Capitol G which is one of my favorite songs its about a fascist war mongering creep who enjoys being a powerful and egotistical politician the lyrics are quite funny and it also describes George W. Bush, this along with Me, I'm not and In this twilight are some of the best songs. All of the songs overflow with a bit of enthusiasm as they start building up into something else and each have a different layer of sound unlike the previous album which I thought was very lacking and just wasn't as good, it was just average with a few good songs like Every day is exactly the same, not bad but could have been alot better. There is however two song on Year Zero that I think just didn't work like My violent heart it doesnt fit and sounds very weird its bad and The great destroyer was just average for sounding more experimental.

There are three instrumental tracks and each one is quite good especially Another version of the truth which is a slow piano piece its very calm as if the world has just ended and Hyperpower! which is more heaver and sounds like a bunch of people being gunned down by some soldiers on the street or it could be something else. Overall I would have to say that this album was very unique and thought provoking its one of the best albums I've listened to this year, this album is a must have for NIN fans and I highly recommend this excellent album.

Album Description

From the Artist This record began as an experiment with noise on a laptop in a bus on tour somewhere. That sound led to a daydream about the end of the world. That daydream stuck with me and over time revealed itself to be much more. I believe sometimes you have a choice in what inspiration you choose to follow and other times you really don't. This record is the latter. Once I tuned into it, everything fell into place... as if it were meant to be. With a framework established, the songs were very easy to write. Things started happening in my "real" life that blurred the lines of what was fiction and what wasn't. The record turned out to be more than a just a record in scale, as you will see over time. Part one is year zero. Concept record. Sixteen tracks. All written and performed by me, produced / programmed by me and Atticus Ross, mixed by Alan Moulder, mastered by Brian "Big Bass" Gardner. Release date: April 17, 2007. What's it about? Well, it takes place about fifteen years in the future. Things are not good. If you imagine a world where greed and power continue to run their likely course, you'll have an idea of the backdrop. The world has reached the breaking point - politically, spiritually and ecologically. Written from various perspectives of people in this world, "year zero" examines various viewpoints set against an impending moment of truth. How does it sound? You will hear for yourself soon enough, but given the point of this document is to provide information... This record is much more of a "sound collage" than recent efforts from me. A lot of it was improvised. It is very tedious describing your own music. It's not just music. It's probably too long, but it felt like the right thing to do to paint the complete picture. It will sound different after a few listens. You can think about it and it will reveal more than you were expecting. You can dance to a lot of it. You can f*** to a lot of it (maybe all of it depending on what you're into).

Cleveland's Pere Ubu, led by howling lead singer David Thomas, have been doing their unique brand of nonlinear experimental garage synth-pop since 1975. Sharing an ethos (and the occasional band member) with experimental acts like the Red Crayola or Captain Beefheart, Pere Ubu are tough to classify as just plain weird--sometimes their pop sensibilities, no matter how off-kilter, just get the best of them. Futuristic and retro at the same time, Pere Ubu never seem to know quite where they're going, and that's what makes them so engaging. This five-CD set documents the beginning to middle period of their career, including five early records, 17 live tracks, and an entire disc of songs from various side projects and Ubu-related acts. --Donovan Finn

Customer Reviews:

Great Ubu.......2007-02-22

Pere Ubu were a legend back in the post-punk days. They were known as being very difficult. Their records were also very difficult to find. I also had problems with David Thomas's solo records since his "singing" could be difficult at times, even though he got great reviews for that stuff. However I must say that all the Pere Ubu stuff is very rewarding. It obvously had a very great influence on all the american underground music that would come out in later years. When this set came out it was quite expensive as I remember it but I decided to pick it up at Newbury Comics in Boston anyway and it was grerat to finally have these records on CD. Anyone interested in the history of alternative music and punk should try to get this box set. What they did later would be much much more mellow and commercial

This is a story of Cleveland..........2005-11-20

This is a story of Cleveland, and how more than a few of its residents were driven insane by the economic depression and the bleakness of the post-industrial wasteland that was the "rust-belt" of the late 60's and early-mid 70's. Having nothing better to do, they just made music, with most likely nary a clue as to how influential their experimental tinkerings would become to a whole generation of musical revolutionaries.

I had always heard the name "Pere Ubu" mentioned by many modern musical artists (and many of my personal favorites) as being a big influence, but I never actually heard any of their songs until I got satellite radio a couple of years ago. I was immediately intrigued by songs like "Final Solution", "Nonalignment Pact", and "Ubu Dance Party", and then I found this box set available that contained all of their early work, so I figured, what the heck? At first, I was overwhelmed by radically diverse song structures and bizarre sounds, not to mention Dave Thomas' crazed (to quote Steven Grant of the Trouser Press) "plebian warble", and I worried that I had made a big mistake. However, after a few listens, things started to gel a bit and I was able to finally get my head around the sheer brilliance and inventiveness of this groundbreaking work. Now, here's my breakdown of the 5 discs in this box set:

Disc A contains the original Datapanik EP and The Modern Dance LP. This is easily the most accessible of their work and is definitely the place you should start if you have no familiarity with this band. The song structures are pretty straight-forward in the garage-punk sense, but there is still plenty of the idiosyncrasies (both vocal and instrumental) that would virtually take over in their later work. Everything here is uniformly great, except for maybe "Sentimental Journey" and "The Book is on the Table", which aren't actual songs as much as just experiments in sound and mood (all their albums have these "soundscape" pieces - they're not really filler, but they're not music in the traditional sense either).

Disc B contains the Dub Housing and New Picnic Time LP's, and this has become my favorite of the 5 discs over time. The key here is "OVER TIME", as the music on this disc was, at first, incomprehensibly bizarre to me, and it appeared to be the nonsensical ravings of lunatics trapped in an insane asylum with musical instruments and recording equipment. I gave it a chance, though, and ended up being greatly rewarded for my perseverance. Once you "get it", the amalgamation of blues, jazz, rock, pop, and downright performance art fleshed out with reckless abandon is just amazing. The humor and the horror, along with a myriad of other emotional nuances, always leaves something new to be discovered each time I listen. Once again, everything is great, with "Thriller!" and "A Small Dark Cloud" serving as the quasi-ambient soundscape interludes. My favorite song is probably "Small Was Fast" - that one just kills me. The first two discs of this set have actually become two of my favorite CDs of ALL TIME!

For me, things wane a little bit on disc C, which includes the material from Art of Walking and Song of the Bailing Man. I like about half the songs here, with most of those coming from Art of Walking. The music from Song of the Bailing Man seems a little staid and forced when compared to their earlier stuff. This is probably my least favorite disc of the 5, but some of you may find this almost as accessible as the material on disc A, especially if you end up getting more into Pere Ubu's smoother, jazzier side.

Disc D contains selections from two live recordings, one in 1978 and the other in 1981. The sound is bootleg quality, and this is not meant to be a "best of" live recordings (as Dave Thomas explains in the vocal liner notes: "that's life, that's art"), but the performances are actually quite good and offer sometimes radically different takes on the studio versions of the songs.

Disc E is quite interesting as it is made up entirely of side projects and other Cleveland bands belonging to the Pere Ubu extended family. I didn't have any expectations for this one, but I actually ended up liking about two thirds of the songs here. I'm especially fond of the raw, garage-rock of the songs by Friction, Tripod Jimmie, Rocket from the Tombs, and the Mirrors. You can really here how this lot were influenced by earlier pioneers such as the Velvet Underground and Television.

So, in conclusion, for those of you who are interested in exploring the roots of where a lot of today's better music comes from, or if you just want a unique musical experience, you should consider this Pere Ubu box set. Be warned, though, this is some pretty challenging stuff, and you'll have to uphold your end of the bargain by doing some work yourself - this is not ear candy that's going to reveal itself for what it is on the first (or even second) listen. However, if you give it a chance, I think you'll be deeply rewarded. Why not 5 stars? Well, I think it's almost impossible for these large box sets to ever warrant 5 stars because there's always going to be stuff that you don't like or just aren't into, but I don't think that's their purpose anyway. To me, these types of compilations are meant to be like smorgasbords, where you pick out what you like from a vast selection of delicacies, some of which you can't find anywhere else. Have I made you hungry? Well, then, dig in!

There can be no fabulous sequels.......2003-12-17

You need to love, honor, and obey these records, jointly or severally: and you might want to buy the original records for cover art and order alone, but if you are not familiar with the premise of Pere Ubu (addressing the problem of datapanik) I expect the box set might straighten you out a little bit. However, what you do not need to do is be particularly faithful to Pere Ubu's vision; although covers of Pere Ubu are frequently enough attempted, the point is to be quite singular, which they have always managed (though consider 15-60-75 and other 70s Cleveland acts included on the final disc). A lot of people don't like Pere Ubu, and although this has its consequences this is not a good reason not to listen to them; and frankly, partisans of *musique concrete* need to reconsider exactly what they are recommending to the people of the modern dance if it is not something like this. (Note: there are few partisans of musique concrete. Note that this is a note.)

Collection of Awesome, Underheard Music.......2001-12-20

This set sneaked out, at a very reasonable price, a few years ago and was presumably gobbled up by those of us familiar with Ubu's music from decades gone by. Those unacquainted with Pere Ubu's work from the 70's should consider purchase too, at least if you're interested in dissonant music and/or in progressive, complex hard rock music. Let me try to describe each disc in this (very moderately priced) set.

Disc 1 has the original "Datapanic" EP, consisting of tunes originally released on singles circa 1976 and 1977. These songs, such as the scarifying "Heart of Darkness" and "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" are dark but within their moody framework extremely well-constructed. The band starts to open it out a little on tracks like "Heaven" (sounds like the Rolling Stones circa 1976) and "Cloud 149" (sounds like some of the most brilliant utilization of rock riffs and instrumentation that I have ever heard). We are then treated to Ubu's debut LP (from 1978) "The Modern Dance" which has always been my favorite of theirs. This is the true sound of the American underground, sitting fermented in a pile of Velvets and Stooges records for years and now ready to burst out and make the world take notice. Each element of the band (Tom Herman's inside-out and always tasteful guitar, Scott Krauss's perfectly on-the-mark, fluid and creative drumming, Tony Maimone's probing bass, Alan Ravenstine's Eno-esque [circa Roxy Music] keyboard dissonance, and David Thomas' Tiny Tim-like vocal journeys) congeals into a powerful whole. The LP contains 10 songs and suffice it to say that they are all different and all worthwhile. It is a brilliant album which did deserve, and still does deserve, to be heard.

Disc 2 has the "Dub Housing" LP from 1978 and the "New Picnic Time" LP from 1979. Each of these is a classic in its own right and pursues furtherance of the band's adventurous and rhythmically dense style. "Dub Housing" is full of great instrumental interplay and fascinating stylistic maneuvers; "New Picnic Time" gets a bit dark and meandering but contains an EP's worth of stuff that probably ranks as some of the strongest and most delicious music ever to be filed under the "rock" genre.

Disc 3 is not Ubu at their best - it has most of the tracks from the two albums recorded after Mayo Thompson replaced Tom Herman on guitar - "The Art of Walking" and "Song of the Bailing Man". These LPs are unusual curiosities, especially "The Art of Walking" which has to rank as one of the strangest products ever released, but you'll probably never be motivated to get up and play them each before breakfast on a daily basis.

Disc 4 is "390 Degrees of Simulated Stereo Volume 2", actually the third live Ubu release. Like Volume 1 (still out-of-print) this collection is highlighted by material recorded live by the 1978 band. In addition to songs which were on Volume 1, there's an interesting run through "Sentimental Journey" (a dark piece which manages to be both droning and anarchic). The disc also contains some material recorded during the Mayo Thompson days.

Disc 5 is an unusual collection of tracks by Ubu-related projects or bands, or Cleveland bands that had an effect on Ubu. It's an unusual concept, but contributes effectively to showing us the "Cleveland Scene" that spawned Ubu. My favorites include Rocket From The Tombs' version of "30 Seconds Over Tokyo", Tom Herman (with Scott Krauss) doing a track called "Steve Canyon Blues", and Peter Laughner (who played with the band on their early singles) leading his band "Friction" through "Dear Richard". The Mirrors' "She Smiled Wild" is quite interesting too, as is 15-60-75's "It's In Imagination". "Syd's Dance Party" (which included Krauss and Maimone) contribute a very nice track also.

Okay. What's the bottom line on all this? Well, it's indispensably great. A great conflagration of energies. At its moderate price, you should buy it if you're interested in Ubu.

This Is THE Essential Pere Ubu Collection.......2001-11-13

Forget buying all those early (1975-1982) Pere Ubu albums on CD individually. You'll save money and come out way ahead by investing in this box set. It has all the original studio albums right up to their first break up. That's 6 albums, here presented as 3 "twofers" - 2 albums per CD. It also has a live disc of previously unreleased recordings, and disc 5 is devoted entirely to side projects of all the band members, which I for one found to be very interesting. Most of these side bands are pretty obscure, and the quality of the music on this fifth disc is pretty spotty, but there are some gems to be found here and I doubt you'd have much luck finding most of these recordings anywhere else. If you think you're enough of a Pere Ubu fan that you'd want to have, say, 3 or 4 of their early albums on CD, then take my advise and get this box set. It won't cost you much more than those single discs would have, but you'll get a heck of a lot more for you're money.

Album Description

Slam, aka Orde Meikle and Stuart McMillan, have taken inspiration from the records that brought them together in the first place; Tom Tom Club, Prince, Mantronix and urban labels like Celluloid and Sugarhill. The music that was literally their `Year Zero'. The result is an album that is their most accomplished to date. They have taken a step back to go forward.

Lost classic?.......2002-11-03

Too bad image and surface mean more than quality and talent in the music business. This is a great record. Their previous lp's twin action and boddah were good, but this one incorperates new sounds into the mix. This is a very well made record with bright tunes and just a good experimental feel to it. You just don't get stuff like this coming out very often. (amazingly, the NME gave it 2 stars out of 10. they were wrong).
