'''''Strobe Light''''' is a fictitious album by one-man [[industrial rock]] act [[Nine Inch Nails]]. An [[April Fools' Day]] joke, ''Strobe Light''' parodies elements of mainstream [[R&B]] and [[Rapping|rap]] music such as prolific producers and guest musicians. An album cover, track listing, and a message regarding the album was provided with the album. The album cover has the exact same font and color scheme as the 2008 Nine Inch Nails album ''[[The Slip]]'' and features frontman [[Trent Reznor]] wearing [[Shutter Shades]]. The attached message stated:

After users confirmed their e-mail addresses, they received a page parodying the infamous [[Blue Screen of Death]], with the phrase "Aprl_Fls" substituted for the word "error".
