Slightly half a year after the release of "Year Zero," (2007) Trent Reznor has released an album of remixes for that album.
"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.
