It is tremendously vindicating for a diehard Year Zero fan that this Nine Inch Noize record has more Year Zero songs on it than from any other era of Nine Inch Nails' discography. Not only that, but arguably the best songs on this record are the Year Zero tracks. And not only that but these versions of these songs are quite possibly better than the originals in some ways.

I was lucky enough to get to see Nine Inch Nails perform just a month or so ago, and it was great to get to hear this version of Vessel played live. All in all, it's a great time to still be a huge fan of Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor is still firing on all cylinders and seems to manage to avoid fucking up NIN's legacy. I wish I had been at Coachella, but only if all the other people weren't there.
