I guess Trent won't be making The Ten any time soon

It's evil! (All the associated websites have the same blurry text deal going on -- list here.)

Yup. In the timeline as pieced together both LA and Anaheim get hit in 2009. OH NOES DISNEYLAND.

(I agree the second of the two things pointed out is cliche city.) The whole story as outlined is an amalgamation of any number of paranoid strands from other sources ('something in the water,' UFOs, wartime jitters, Big Brother, etc. besides religious conflict write large), and dystopic near-futures are hardly unique in their predictions of horrifying catastrophes. If the specificity is the objection, there's a whole lot more out there where that came from (and not all of it is courtesy of the Jack Chick/Left Behind standpoint, say). To my mind it's not that far removed from a late eighties cyberpunk RPG.

That all said, the song is easily the best of the four that have leaked -- Trent's quietest vocal so far set against a lot of Warp-descended beats and scuzz. YMMV, etc.

as I am administering the FCAT right now, I can't listen to the track, but am supremely, extremely excited. This will be the greatest concept album ever. Year Zero will trump The Downward Spiral, I think.
