The only comment from Wilson, who's said to be in good condition at Cedar's Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, has been to issue this statement: "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time." Nevertheless speculation about his drug use, depression over his May break-up from Hudson and a recent fight with a friend have peppered the coverage of Wilson's hospitalization.

"I didn't want to get into this trend of creative ways to kills people...
...songs most like the Nine Inch Nails of old—still break some new ground for the band, bringing in some snazzy stylistic elements (and, on the former track, hip-hop artist Saul Williams) for backup. ”Year Zero” isn’t a mellow listen by any standard, but it doesn’t have the same type of edge as other NIN albums. The album uses smoother production values to create surprising moods—it occasionally even grooves. Although it’s a cool track, “My Violent Heart?...
