Probably the coolest in the world! It involves a very scoffable society, but I love the concepts. to start:

http://www.iamtryingtobelieve.com/

then go to

http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/ ... It is really interesting, then go to nins myspace for a few songs from the new album by them. Amazingly good campaign, good music too.

And the new single is out too, Survivalism.... NiN gets better every year...

Have you heard of Conceptual Albums? Basically, this is one of the ad campaigns that draws you into the story of the album, mixing the music with the continuations after the music. Very interesting, imo.

I really like the design of that first website, the sorta crash look - very NiN, either that or my graphics card is dying .

I have pretty much a full collection of NiN albums, 'We're in this together now' is my fave track.

Ah- I love the Broken Album, But With Teeth is extremely good. Year Zero is going to be amazing.

Not a big fan of Survivalism myself, but I'll be checking out Year Zero definitely: All of the NIN albums I have accumulated so far have at least a couple of decent tracks on them, so I hope YZ continues (or improves) this trend.
