Track Review: NIN "Me, I'm Not"
So I don't know what Trent Reznor is thinking anymore, but another new NIN track has made its way onto the web. "Me I'm Not" is filled with the same industrial hums and buzzes as the previoustwo tracks profiled here, but this one lacks any kind of gratifying pay-off. The song simmers throughout and occasionally hints at a much-needed explosion, but it never comes. Maybe I'm alone here, but I'm finding myself less excited to hear the finished product with every new song off Year Zero that I hear.

"much-needed explosion"???? Yeah, Schindler's List would have been great too, but for its lack of explosions.

hank hill

Kind of a stretch on your part don't you think?Anyhow, I'm of the opinion that Trent Reznor is either angry or boring, so yes, letting out some rage would have been nice.

Justin Sheppard

I'm in the opposite boat as you Justin. I went from feeling indifferent about the new album to really wanting to hear it now from the leaked tracks.

Dave Park

This track is certainly a grower. The best music never sounds "awsome" the first time you hear it. I think this has some of his best vocal stylings ive ever hear from NIN.as for explosions? im sure year zero will have plenty, not every track needs to be a violent crunch right?

Dave

This song is very unique, yet very amazing. It's not really "epic" on the scale like "My Violent Heart" and "Survivalism" were too me. It's slower, with no crazy explosions, yet I still love it.

Benji

i agree with dave.imo, the best climax you're gonna get out of this song is the one from making sweet, sweet love to it. this track is all sorts of sexy.

As with any nin album, it needs to be heard in the full context of the entire album as a whole. Especially with Year Zero. It was created as a concept album. Be patient...

Critics suckReznor is Genius

Jaymz

This track is creative and full of new sounds to get lost in. I like it as much as any current or older NIN albms. Until YOU can come up with music that moves an entire generation of people, I suggest you plug in your MP3 player and listen to your "made for radio" pop bull****. Have a great day!

NIN-er

yo this song is very unique just like most of reznor's works, thats why i love nin's music so much - cuz its so unique and powerful

balls magee

year zero is a bit more than an album and i think that his new materiel is great the events depicted byhis new album are interesting. although me, im not is not my favorite of his new material it is still very good i think that in this twilight is better but me, im not follows close behind

Me I'm Not after a few listens is a great chilling work song.

ninin

everytime nin comes out with a new album there are always these nay sayers who cut it down .. then after the album is released.... these same idiots come around and buy up all the tickets just to put em on ebay .. thanks a holes .. hope you fn die

tboss

I sat and listened to this song as I drank a six pack. I listened over and over. I love this song. I hope more is like it on the album. Love the slow dark mood.

Scott

The mood set by this track is somewhat intellectual. It makes you think, and thats what NIN does... another great song, also the vocals set off the twangs and sudden changes in the background. Techno-esk.
