Honestly, this album only swears on two songs, both there CSM mentioned. Dunno why they feel the need to give it 3/5. Pretty good album, but I like their older stuff more.

What Parents Need to Know
About Year Zero
Parents need to know that the message of this CD is anything but cheerful, obsessed as it is with the end of the world. There are some sex and death metaphors in the poetry, as well as a lot of other dark imagery. Parents of moody, depressive teens might want to listen to the entire album to decide if their kids should steer clear.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about real fear in a terrifying world. What scares you when you see a newscast about bad things happening in real life? Is it easier to talk about actual events or to imagine a futuristic fantasy in which the world comes to a cataclysmic end?

overall pretty good
This is my favorite NIN cd. It's not too bad compared to their other stuff in terms of language. It has a really great feel to it, especially the song 'Capital G.'

Garbage.
Not any good, and there' literally no language (especially compared to their other works) They say the f-word and s-word once, and that's it. A little violent, but mostly plain old garbage. Try 'Broken', 'The Downward Spiral', or 'The Fragile'.
