I agree with your thoughts on accountability and so on. I don't have issue with people criticising NIN, if that's how they truly feel about things. I can honestly say though, from hearing the first track released on Myspace, I was in love with Year Zero. When I bought it, I had that (now rare) experience with a new record, where you are blown away and know that you've got something really special in your hands. I got very excited about YZ, and it seems to get better with every listening. I followed the ARG from the start as well (lots about it on www.ninwiki.com). It's such a different direction for NIN to go in, but it feels right to me. If this sounds patronising I really don't mean it to, but I really hope that a couple more listens will change your mind. It almost breaks my heart that someone who loves NIN as much as me hasn't had the same experience of this record. By the way, we both must be weird, because The Fragile is my favourite as well! It's a beautiful record. Hi

With all of that said... I didn't feel it necessary to tell everyone this but I am a huge nin fan. I own everything Trent's ever put out: remixes, singles, e.p.'s, both dvd's and a plethora of other merch. I'm not turning on Trent. I will buy any record he puts out from now until one us is dead. And I have read interviews where he disparages downward and the fragile. I'm weird in that the fragile is my favorite nin record. Not many agree but if you can stand to listen to it all the way through it's an absolute masterpiece. BUT, Trent is a man and he and all the rest of us should be comfortable criticizing works he makes available to the public. No artist should be untouchable. We all need to make ourselves accountable. If he can trash my favorite record, I can trash his. This said, I promise that I will listen to this record more and if my opinion changes I will ammend my statements. Thanks for listening.
