== 'I Am Trying To Believe' in YZ trailer ==
:I have to agree here with Velvolver. But, I will say the album as a whole is about God, and how we as humans simply use Him as a puppet, or scapegoat. I love the songs In This Twilight and Zero Sum, because after an album full of war, hate and disbelief in God, everyone is forced to face up to the truth and realize "We weren't right. Everything we thought, believed and lived for was false, and there really was something greater going on." Of course by this point it is too late to do anything. This album has a very distinct and strong appeal to human conscious. Trent is trying to get us to see, just as he saw through his addictions and sobriety, that we are all doing things the wrong way, and if we do not change, if we do not take the time to fix things, well nothing lasts forever. Anyways, 04/17/2007 here we come. -[[User:Crasyninfan|Crazyninfan]]
:: Further more on the note of Hyperpower. Hyperpower is a term used in theoretical politics to describe the next level of powers in states (the us as we know it right now is often called a Super Power, as was the USSR during the cold war.) Basically trent's leading in to the album by clearly stating with this intro track that america has ascended the political order to Hyperpower status, but has done so through oppressive and violent tactics (hence the use of a powerful, highly ordered march beat bringing forth chaos and destruction by the end of the track..)

== "The Great Destroyer" - affects on frogs ==
:::: They get bonus points for making this read like an ad for http://www.worldslastchance.com/. Nutjobs ahoy! --[[User:BurnHavoc|BurnHavoc]] 09:31, 10 April 2007 (EST)
::::: It is funny because it is true. If you don't believe me, try it. I'm sure gathering the CD, speakers and a wetlands together can't be that difficult. In a way it is an ad for the site I checked out this weekend. I did explicitly mention, "While I am disinclined to fall for every off the wall apocalyptic conspiracy theory". I highly suggest anyone who reads it take it with the same grain of salt. Previously I had my own <u>theories</u> that the number of the beast directly related to the www in every web address (research hebrew numerology) along with the Visa mark that is everywhere you want to be, but hey. As for prophecies being a load of garbage, whatever makes you comfortable. Hey nothing lasts forever, including the deceptions put in front of us so keep an eye out. The site, clearly states that interpretations are not prophecy and also cleary states that much of what is listed is there interpretation. The scripture is quoted though in it though and much can not be argued with. There Their 666 can be argued with though so any doubts, listen to them. I don't know about you but I care about my soul and everyone elses.
::::: This is a great album and Reznor is absolutely serious issuing the warnings he is, much like Orewell and Huxley. It is a work of fiction very closely tied to the interpretation found on that site though and as long as you do heed my warnings and take it with a grain of salt, all are better off reading it. I may be a nutjob, but I have been working on developing my nutjobiness for many years. I also have a very lucrative career going for me as a backup in case we do all have a chance to progress and live out our lives as we are today and keep this world from meeting the end. If that doesn't happen though, I am ready (knock on wood) for whatever the powers that be throw at me. Maybe the only news some of you have had an eye on lately is regarding this album, but there has been mounting evidence released in the past week that this world is going down, and very very fast.
::::: If you choose not to believe in a higher power, that is your perogative. I have a very skeptical and scientific mind, but the golden rule of philosophy is that we truly do know nothing, which is also a firmly held cornerstone of Judeo-Christianity. So again, higher power or not, the end is most probably imenent and I personally would rather have God there to make sure that living through it is worth it. --[[User:Slingblade|Slingblade]] 13:39, 4/10/2007 (PST)
:::::: My cat absolutely hates this song... Does that count? Seriously though. I don't know if Reznor has found God, or if it is only the theme of this album, but [[User:Slingblade|Slingblade]] makes a damn good point. This album has something to say. Trent wouldn't have released it if it didn't mean something to him, if he didn't want us to get something outta it. He has been quoted saying he doesn't like the way modern music sounds, that there is no message or point behind it. Now whether or not he wants us to convert to Christianity, I have no idea, but he definitely is saying something needs to change, or Year Zero may become a reality. -[[User:Crazyninfan|Crazyninfan]] 21:58, 10 April 2007 (PDT)
::::::: i'd certainly say trent's making some rather obvious 'predicitions' but, only in the way books like Fahrenheit 451 or 1984 (or movies like Bladerunner, THX 1138, Soylent Green and Code 42) do. they keep realistic tones, base in reality as their starting points, then unfold a plausible outcome for the state of tomorrow based on the state of today.
::::::: is trent possibly right here? could be. is he promoting god? possible, though i recall he made earlier allusions that 'the presence' was not god but just another life form a bit higher up the chain then little ole us. is he tuning in to the minds of frogs to create a great amphibian uprising? not a damn chance. --[[User:Killjoy|killjoy]] 00:45, 18 April 2007 (PDT)
Well, whatever the hell is going on, this is an amazing album with a unbelievable interactive back story.
That's all I could ever have hoped for or dreamt of... -[[User:Crazyninfan|Crazyninfan]] 19:23, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
== The number 6 ==
Ok, I'm probably just talking out my ass, but has anyone else noticed the frequency of the number 6.
What I've found(I know it's cheesy, but I was bored):
Halo 24, 2+4=6 _-_
Year Zero is 2022 2+2+2=6 _-_
105th airborne 1+5=6 _-_
Number of letters in Another Version Of The Truth=24 2+4=6 _-_
Time of the use of opal in the survivalism video 2:13 2+3+1=6 _-_
First sighting of the Presence was 2/4/0000 2+4=6 _-_
Ok. honestly I just have too much time on my hands. And it could also be interpreted af the number 24. But I like 6 better.
i'm not saying it couldn't be significant but if 24 is significant then so is 6 and so is 2 when you start adding numbers that way your getting into the realm of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerology Numerology]] [[User:Ylbissop|Ylbissop]] 21:34, 16 April 2007 (PDT)
== This may seem to be a random question but ... ==
I was finished with catching up on all the YZ websites and decided to see if i could find anything else - I went to ask.com and typed in Year Zero.
I found this: http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1978cambodia.html
Seems like the reference may have something to do with the name of the album ... unless we have a better reason for the new timeline in America?

Please stop posting about the numbers on the case. They lead to the Flood wreckage on [[The Mailstrom]] and are ALREADY present on the wiki, see [[Year Zero]]. This is the 6th time I've had to remove them from a talk page, as people seem to want to post them on EVERY TALK PAGE ON THE WIKI. PLEASE STOP ALREADY --[[User:BurnHavoc|BurnHavoc]] 22:49, 18 April 2007 (PDT)
:Sorry I didn't notice them and figured I'd put them up JIC.-[[User:Kickemwhentheyredown|Kickemwhentheyredown]] 07:20, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
== Suggestions ==
Has anybody checked the album tracks and the extra sound bits for back masking? I don't personally have the time, seeing as it will be a lengthy process, but if you run the wav format files through a program found at http://www.reversespeech.com/rssoftware.htm you can reverse them and look for hidden messages like the ones found in stairway to heaven and other such songs. I wouldn't put it past Trent.
== thebeginningoftheend.org ==
After a brief look at this site, I am pretty sure it is NOT related. Inspired by, possibly, but not related. Anyone else wanna take a look and make a call on it? [[User:TheLastRaven|TheLastRaven]] 14:32, 11 June 2007 (PDT)
:Removed the whole section, as it is all speculation, and this page should be only facts. -[[User:Heroicraptor|Heroicraptor]] 15:09, 11 June 2007 (PDT)
== 7=the end? (7 as a numerological message) ==
ok, the number is 13102951040 (survivalisum phone clip).Now, using numerology, this number becomes 7. in biblical numerology 7 is the number of spirtual purity, but in another context the number becomes something compleatly new: the word Abadon (hebrew for hell) is found in the bible 7 times. there are also 7 deadly sins. now this may seem unimportant until you take into context the message you hear after dialing 13102951040. this message talks about the injustice people suffer under the government. Now, take into account the title of another of NIN's political attaks the the government: Capital G. G is the seventh letter of the alphabet. G is also the fist letter in old G.W.bush's name. Ghenna ( not sure on that spelling) or the end of days also begins with G. so, persumably the number 7 was used intendtionly. 7 seems to be a reoccuring theme.
now, I'm not saying these connections mean anything, but it is interesting at least.
on a side note, i also thought this was ammusing, given my previous statemnts on the #7. Bush=40(2+21+19+8=40) 40 is the number of death in the bible(it rained for 40 day and 40 nights, ect.)
== Archiving of Year Zero links ==
Hey guys i just joined i've been browsing for as long and thought i'd give something back. would it be a good idea to pipe all of the Year Zero sites such as http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/ through a cache site as most if not all of the links no longer work due to sites being changed domain or simply just dead. I'm just proposing something like this
http://web.archive.org/web/20121105144351/http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/
Which would give a permanent link to a working version of the site if not changing the link simply ref it ? like
Another Version Of The Truth [http://web.archive.org/web/20121105144351/http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/]
By no means am i good at using wiki still getting used to it but it was just a thought
