i would prefer to see another ghosts, or maybe an album like with teeth or the slip, as opposed to YZ2. why? mystery. with YZ2 there's not much mystery involved. we know the themes, basically what we're going to get - a post-apocalyptic narrative on top of good tracks. i'm sure it would be better than any other album by another artist, but it's still kind of boring to me.

however, YZ really marks the beginning of trent's wild creativity that we have all been enjoying. it seems like with with teeth, he was a little unsure about himself, his style. but starting with YZ, then ghosts, then slip, and now the social network, well - it's all just been flowing so freely, you know?

in short, even though i'd like YZ to stay asleep, i am damn, damn, damn grateful for it, because it was the beginning of a great phase for us NINers.

Trent doesn't strike me as the type to do a part 2 of anything (and before anyone cites the Ghosts, those were all done in 4 weeks). He'll move forward and the next NIN album will be better for it. Year Zero's an opus on it's own; it doesn't need a sequel.

I personally don't want a YZ2 as I also did not like Year Zero as much as the other albums. I'm not big into the whole political scene, but don't get me wrong I enjoyed the album and liked hearing the story of year zero, just liked the previous albums much more. It's time to get onto a new subject or something revisited (not politics) its been covered in the past 3 albums(one more than others) I would like a new sound and a new story. Trent is known for doing what he wants and not what other people want so much. It's worked out great for him for 2 decades. The only thing is WHEN?? The magical question that also haunts Trent hahaha. But whatever he does if he does it , will be awesome.

I agree, doesn't really need a second part to it. That does stand on it's own.

I have the quake soundtrack, kind of has that feel to it. I never seen the series.

How can there be a sequel? At the end of Year Zero the world comes to an end.
