message: Just a note that we probably shouldn't keep adding "(possibly "Survivalism")" behing tracks 1 & 2, due to the unconfirmable and speculative nature of doing so. Besides, we'll know the correct track listing sooner or later anyway. --Brandt Luke Zorn 04:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Survivalism" in the track listing 

message: Considering that this reference came out of a forum transcription, is it a reliable one that we should use? I'm thinking not. We should probably directly cite whichever issue of Kerrang! it is, if anyone is able to find out. --Brandt Luke Zorn 01:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Since it was posted Jan 3 and it seems Kerrang! comes out Saturdays, it was probably the Jan 6 issue or the week before. It should be safe to assume Jan 6 since the cover has Trent on it. Pomte 01:46, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the help :). However, I don't think that we have enough information about the exact issue of Kerrang that we're citing to use a magazine reference. By Monday, I'll probably be able to go to my library and see if they have some older Kerrang magazines, but no guarantees. If you or anyone else can find the exact issue, I'd be very happy :). Until then, I did find this, which is more reliable than a forum any day. --Brandt Luke Zorn 05:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: There's absolutely no information on the halo category numbers of Survivalism or Year Zero. I move that this information be removed until the halo numbers can be confirmed. It is true that the single usually precedes the album and that each release to have a halo number, but the positioning of the album and the single are speculative, as is the positioning of the single in the tracklist.75.120.102.134 04:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, because Survivalism is released on April 9 and Year Zero is released April 17, Survivalism will (obviously) be released sooner and will be Halo 23. --Brandt Luke Zorn 06:10, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, there's absolutely no mention of Survivalism getting a regular CD single release, and as such, Year Zero could very well be Halo 23.HorseloverFat 09:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Now why would it not be the album art if the link is named "albumart.jpg" Cowboydan97 00:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It could be named anything for any reason. There's a similar page with a "chinesedemocracy.jpg" file which is broken. It's just a page, it's not conclusive evidence of ANYTHING. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball simply means we don't post any un-sourced information, and especially links to pages where action has not happened yet. There is quite a bit of sourcable information available for YZ. --NeoVampTrunks 01:13, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There has been some recent photos of the full cover art, and given that the current image of The Presence is not going to be the actual front cover (as revealed in the photos), we should consider being ready to change is as the release date approaches. --Insomniak 00:45, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're thinking about the art with the 'urban/industrious civilization' art then you're thinking about the slipcase (similar to the slipcase use for The Downward Spiral CD), not the literal front cover. This would be what I'm talking about. R-Tiztik 00:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Wikipedia article for The Downward Spiral uses the slipcase as the cover. --NeoVampTrunks 01:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Downward Spiral doesn't have any real album cover though. It has a book for lyrics/credits but it doesn't have an actual album cover besides the slipcase. That's why everywhere you see a TDS cover it's that yellow one. Regardless, the official web site (and all online vendors of Year Zero) feature the "Presence" cover as the album cover so it's likened that this is the official artwork. When a clear scan (unlike the digital photograph that I linked to above) is attained and uploaded, it could go in a "alternate cover" space at the bottom of the infobox. Tons of articles make use of this method for alternate album art and it would be a great idea (once a decent picture of the slipcase cover is uploaded). R-Tiztik 01:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Not that it is terribly important, but 102.1 CHUM FM in Toronto is claiming that they débuted Year Zero on the radio before KROQ in california did. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Moeburn (talk • contribs) 02:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean 102.1 CFNY-FM The Edge. This is what my friend heard from that station: CFNY played "Survivalism" at like 8:20 on Thursday, and the DJ was talking about how the LA station was bragging that they played it at 10am on Friday or something, and they were getting all the credit for playing it first. Pomte 19:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I was listening to 102.1 the edge when they first played it.  It was infact on Thursday 15 February 2007 during the Thursday 30.  Pwnage8 08:07, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I really don't think the first play on the radio is a terribly important topic for the article.  99% of the music articles on Wikipedia don't mention first radio play, simply because from a historical, encyclopedic point of view it's really not very important.  Furthermore, it's all but impossible to know for sure which station played it first (especially since radio stations claim first play all the time), not to mention referencing such a claim.  Hence, I suggest we take any mention of first radio play out of the article.  Or, at least remove it from THIS article, since it is about the album and not the song.--Drewcifer3000 08:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Alan Cross's blog, Martin Streak played "My Violent Heart" during that Thursday 30. So did he play both? I agree on removing the radio station mention, though the first play date is somewhat significant if all other dates are kept. Instead of February 16, we would say February 15, and not the vague "February 2007", since these news items are progressing a lot day by day. Pomte 08:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The media coverage is very relevant in discussing this promotion. From viral marketing: "Often the goal of viral marketing campaigns is to generate media coverage via "offbeat" stories..." I added a remark about the fan involvement that doesn't promote any fansites. Even if you don't think it is viral marketing, you should agree that the fan involvement is significant for the continuation and publicity of this promotion. Pomte 20:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it worth noting that the "leaks" are released every 5 days since Valentine's Day? At this rate a "leak" could very well be released on March 1. It's speculative but it's not irrational by this point to expect another song in 5 days.--R-Tiztik 03:38, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is speculative to say that a new song will be heard on March 1, but it is factual to say that a song has been leaked every 5 days, but this fact isn't very significant until the pattern becomes more apparent, and doesn't include the "Survivalism" clip/radio.

thread_title: ''Year Zero''

message: Having just found out about "phenomena" around the Year Zero album, I've gotta say that it sounds more like an Alternate Reality Game than Viral Marketing, especially since it seems to be telling a story set in an alternate future reality, using elements in the real world. Trent himself seemed frustated with the term "marketing", so perhaps it would be better to call it an ARG. To compare it with something more recent, the Lost Experience that tied in with the Lost TV series. WtW-Suzaku 06:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure of the difference: are all ARGs examples of viral marketing? In this case, a story is simply being told; the participants obtain information, but it's unlikely they can change how the story turns out. Since this story seems to be held as important as the album, I agree it is unfair to call it marketing. –Pomte 06:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  ARGs tend to incorporate viral marketing to some degree, usually through sponsored websites and the like. Some, like the LOST Experience, simply have the "players" unraveling the story through a periodic (usually phase-oriented) series of events that are player driven; IE, decoding a URL or cracking a code to get a phone number. However, marketing is not always the case. The Push, Nevada ARG continued long after the show was canceled, and actually culminated with the "winner" recieving a $1 million prize. Incidentally, it seems that Year Zero has already been mentioned on the ARG article. WtW-Suzaku 19:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

message: ===Listening Party Bootleg===
The bootleg of the Year Zero listening party that surface was recorded in Chicago. The DJ's assistant "Elektra" announces at the beginning that "we're gonna have a visual representation for you first, kinda like a retrospect of the entire history of Nine Inch Nails.. Then at the end of that we'll have the "Survivalism" video, if you haven't seen it yet it is a visual experience.. And then, then, the Chicago premier of Year Zero, so let's get started." (I've uploaded the announcement as an ogg vorbis file as a source: ). Then I went to the official Year Zero website's listening party page and spotted the date of the Chicago party and basically just filled in the blanks. R-Tiztik 03:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Now all mentions of the bootleg are completely absent from the article.. The leak is still encyclopedic in that it pertains to the history of the album, and not to come off as, for lack of better word, arrogant, I think that the last contribution I made to the Listening Party Recording section suited it best, where it simply mentioned that it surfaced on peer-to-peer networks (all remained nameless even though I know good and well demonoid was one of them hehe), and that the date (which I'm proud that it seems I noted it first :]) was the Chicago show on March 18. I agree that there should be no links to the direct download of copies seeing as how it's a bit arbitrary for Wikipedia to encourage piracy, but a brief mention of a surfaced recording should perhaps be noted? I'm not gonna be a dick and re-add it there, I want to know how everyone else feels about this. R-Tiztik 15:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

text: EDIT: I just checked out the NIN Hotline and apparently I was a bit confused. I thought someone simply re-encoded the cell phone recording to 320Kbps and upped it but now I see it really is literally a high quality recording! I still stand by what i said though, Year Zero wouldn't be the first article to recognize the leak of an album. However I still firmly believe no links should be provided and that mention should basically appear something like "On April 1, 2007 a bootleg recording of the Chicago, Illinois listening party of March 18, 2007 surfaced on several peer-to-peer networks. The quality of the recording is very low and it is apparent that whoever made the recording did not have very good sound capturing equipment. On April 4, 2007, a promotional copy ofYear Zero surfaced on several peer-to-peer networks." Or something along those lines. Anyways I'm tired of typing hehe, I just want to know how people feel about this. R-Tiztik 15:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Bullshit I'd source directly to the leak itself. 1) Now the RIAA really, really hates you section at The NIN Hotline; 2) Echoing the Sound. No point including them in the article since the ETS source names sites where you can find the leak. R-Tiztik 23:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I think you bring up a good point, and knowing Reznor's history in the area it wouldn't be the first time this was suggested. I know that it has been suggested more than once he might have also purposely leaked a high quality version of the "Broken" movie. Problem is that it will never be on record anywhere that he did it because of his own legal liability so it would be speculation at best.

Even putting the album on the Year Zero homepage seems like an amature thing for Trent to do (if he had counter-piracy in mind) because torrents of the stream-files have surfaced. I think if the leak was intentional, Trent leaked the first wave (the 320Kbps leak) directly, and then did everything in his legal power to give people the opportunity to steal the album (by streaming the album in an .flv (and thus rippable) container).

thread_title: Regarding the Leak

message: The bootleg of the Year Zero listening party that surface was recorded in Chicago. The DJ's assistant "Elektra" announces at the beginning that "we're gonna have a visual representation for you first, kinda like a retrospect of the entire history of Nine Inch Nails.. Then at the end of that we'll have the "Survivalism" video, if you haven't seen it yet it is a visual experience.. And then, then, the Chicago premier of Year Zero, so let's get started." (I've uploaded the announcement as an ogg vorbis file as a source: ). Then I went to the official Year Zero website's listening party page and spotted the date of the Chicago party and basically just filled in the blanks. R-Tiztik 03:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Now all mentions of the bootleg are completely absent from the article.. The leak is still encyclopedic in that it pertains to the history of the album, and not to come off as, for lack of better word, arrogant, I think that the last contribution I made to the Listening Party Recording section suited it best, where it simply mentioned that it surfaced on peer-to-peer networks (all remained nameless even though I know good and well demonoid was one of them hehe), and that the date (which I'm proud that it seems I noted it first :]) was the Chicago show on March 18. I agree that there should be no links to the direct download of copies seeing as how it's a bit arbitrary for Wikipedia to encourage piracy, but a brief mention of a surfaced recording should perhaps be noted?

I still stand by what i said though, Year Zero wouldn't be the first article to recognize the leak of an album. However I still firmly believe no links should be provided and that mention should basically appear something like "On April 1, 2007 a bootleg recording of the Chicago, Illinois listening party of March 18, 2007 surfaced on several peer-to-peer networks. The quality of the recording is very low and it is apparent that whoever made the recording did not have very good sound capturing equipment. On April 4, 2007, a promotional copy ofYear Zero surfaced on several peer-to-peer networks." Or something along those lines.

message: This isn't worth adding to the article, but does anyone else feel that a 320Kbps leak of the album surfaced intentionally as some form of a "fuck you" statement to the RIAA when he found out about the cease and desist orders they issued for the intentional USB leaks? Trent encouraged the audience when introducing the live premiere of "Survivalism" that the album would be available to steal in "a couple of weeks" (I'm not saying he planned to intentionally leak it when he made this announcement), but maybe upon hearing about the RIAA's bullshit he issued his own little "fuck you" to them by leaking his own album. He's a smart man Reznor, he knows it won't hurt record sales, not as much as it will hurt the RIAA. (If this were the case). R-Tiztik 00:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

1) The official NIN Myspace has the full album available for streaming. MySpace members can also add songs to their profile. I think this started April 3rd but I could be mistaken. www.myspace.com/nin

replies: text: I'm a bit angry right now so I might not have an elaborate reply like usual, but I felt I still shouldn't hesitate to add my input, so I'll do my best. The album leaked on April 3, and was made available on April 4 on nin.yearzero.com and then made available on NIN's MySpace on April 10; the former was probably in response to the leak (which I suppose was for promotion in the longrun), and the latter was solely by means of promotion, seeing as it would promote the record to a) people oblivious to the world or torrents, and b) people familiar with the MySpace community, and was not made available the day following the leak. The leak section includes information primarily about the leak of the record itself and the responses made to the leak (streaming, radioplay, etc.). What you (75.4.201.167) have mentioned about the 2 sources of listening-availability of the album are just promotion movements, they don't pertain to the leak itself. The MySpace streaming is already in the article but the Hot Topic playing of the record was something I was completely unaware of; that could be mentioned in the article someplace. Hot Topic playing the whole record is similar to Chicago's Q101 playing of the album, but shouldn't be mentioned in leak anyways because Q101 played the record in direct response to the leak, aka during the exact same day haha. Hopefully this makes things a bit clearer? R-Tiztik 03:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Jmlk17 recently added a length tag to the ARG article, and I couldn't agree more.  It's already massive and will only continue to grow as the campaign for Year Zero continues.

thread_title:  Fair use images need rationale 

message: Here are some things you should address to improve the article to GA status:
*Expand the lead. It should be at least two paragraphs for an article of this length. Also, it should incorperate information from the entire article. Therefore, critical and commercial success should be noted there, as well as anything else that warrents a section in the article.
*The lead says that it was released on April 16th in Europe, while the infobox says April 13th.
*"USB drives" is very listy. The paragraphs are too small (the bare minimum is three sentences, and ideally they should be longer), and many sentences start with the same "On February XX, 2007..."
*Other sections in the Promotion section also have paragraphs that are too short. Additionally, there's not really a point of separating sections if there's only one paragraph associated with it.
*The Radio subsection needs citations. Citation also needed stating that a USB was found in Madrid.
*The whole United States Bureau of Morality section probably isn't notable in relation to the album.
*The Chicago bootleg should be cited. Again, the too-short paragraphs start the same way. Vary the prose a little bit.
*Make sure that the titles in the sources that you cite are properly capitalized.
*Get rid of the external link the NIN wiki.
*Thermo-chrome disc needs citations. Also, don't link to a youtube video, people should be able to understand the concept from the reading.
*Trim the album charts a little bit. Only countries in which the album was a big hit should be listed. Also, remove any supplementary charts such as rock albums charts. In fact, a better idea would be...
*Make a section about the album's critical and commercial success. Nothing at all is mentioned about the critical response the album, while the commercial success is limited to just that chart. Be sure to mention both publications that liked it and didn't like it and mention their praises and criticisms.
