Like, “This is where I think 8 years of Bush policy is going to get us.” So the entire album is a metaphor for our current social and political climate.

Tracks like Capitol G and The Good Soldier not only fit into the Year Zero story, but also make a profound political statement about modern times as well. Not bad for a guy who most people only know that the wanted to fuck them like an animal (which is a shame, because there are SO many better tracks on that album alone).

YEAR ZERO is definitely a good album, the closest a whole album of theirs has gotten to the whole Pretty Hate Machine vibe in a long while (that’s probably my favorite album), although the more recent free album “The Slip” has a couple of tracks that come closer.
