With Teeth

The Downward Spiral Originally released in 1994, Trent Reznor created THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL as both a concept album and modern day classic. This influential 90's classic is Trent Reznor's industrial cum-tragic opera view of the world and the soul's sonically detailed fall from grace. The Downward Spir...	The Fragile Trent Reznor took five years to record this monstrous double-CD set, wielding a perfectionist's touch in the production and the subtlety of a chainsaw in the musicianship. The result is uncompromising, full of hysterical noise and yet utterly accessible. Somehow, someway, this is...

Only	Year Zero Nine Inch Nails' sixth studio release, Year Zero takes the concept album further than it may have ever gone before.

March of the Pigs	Broken As a placeholder between the full-length Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral, Broken packs a serious punch. Angrier and less poppy than Machine, this EP is full of noisy hooks, if such a thing is possible (check out that guitar riff on the full-throttle "Wish"), and much ...	And All That Could Have Been The biggest difference between a kick-ass studio album and a kick-ass live album? Intensity. Live: And All That Could Have Been, recorded on Nine Inch Nails' 2000 "Fragility 2.0" U.S. tour, provides that trait in abundance. It helps that Trent Reznor has a band, instead of just a...	Further Down The Spiral	Pretty Hate Machine Considered the breakthrough album that delivered a more palatable version of industrial music to the commercial audience, Pretty Hate Machine left its dingy mark on pop culture. The abrasive "sonarchy" of the album was first churned by despondent club-goers who roiled with the rh...

Not my favorite NIN album, but still very good.
I took a while to warm up to this album, but now that I have I've been listening to it for weeks. There are some strange tracks, but there are usually some strange tracks on NIN albums. If you're a NIN fan, you should have this album. I already had the music since the band leaked the whole thing before it was released, but the artwork is worth $10. The strange anti-piracy warnings are reason enough to purchase this. Conclusion - it's not Pretty Hate Machine, but it's a major improvement over The Fragile. (No offense to anyone that likes that one - I just can't get into more than 3 or 4 tracks on that one.)

Another excellent nin cd!!!
NIN keep on giving us the best of his productions, the 5.1 sound quality is the best, the extras are good, this a collection piece, you oughtta have it!!!!

Coming from a person who never heard of NIN until With Teeth.
On my usual trip to Borders, I usually pick up a few comics (usually in subsequent volumes) and a CD (depending on how much I can afford). Well, my decision was either between Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" or Nine Inch Nails' "With Teeth"; it was almost time to leave the store and I was deciding over the two albums until I'd come to a conclusion where I'd buy "With Teeth, so I purchased it (the UK version, for some odd reason, they didn't carry the US version, lucky for me, this version didn't have an "EXPLICIT CONTENT" sticker, so I wouldn't get slapped on the wrist for buying it) I sat down at home popped the CD into the CD player and sat playing my PS2, really not noticing anything. Two days later, in fact, I had to leave on a family trip by car (Northeast Ohio to Ocean City takes 10 hrs minimum), so I took only two CDs (this is when my music taste was quite "premature", so I didn't have what you would consider a CD collection--the albums were With Teeth and typically, American Idiot, an album that EVERY AMERICAN 12 YEAR OLD OWNS) and sat in the car for 10 hours listening to ONLY With Teeth. Why? Being 12 years old, obviously I wasn't able to take in the tracks beside "Hand that Feeds"--taking all of that time listening, I came up with ONLY 5 tracks that I liked--"Hand that Feeds", "You Know What You Are", "The Collector", "Getting Smaller" and I'd occasionally listen to "Home" (which was a B-side to HtF exclusively on the UK version). The rest of the tracks were what I considered "boring"--maybe I was too young to understand the rest, I was too busy watching MTV to even bother with picking up my CD player and listening to With Teeth again. Now, fast-forward about 11 months, I've gone through the transition of going from Elementary School to Junior High, from going to a school where I had friends to a school where I knew nobody and was rejected, from being social to being isolated to being social, and the list goes on; I guess you could say With Teeth grew on me as I went through more and was able to relate with the music--the lyrics matter more to me now than they did when I was a 12 year old seeking quick and catchy songs. The first track, "All the Love in the World", isn't really a good song to kick off the album--it's slow and repetitive, though the instrumentals have a darkwave and a Closer-esque sound. "You Know What You Are?" is a sharp contrast from the beginning track, where [....] is said nearly twenty times, the lyrics, meaningless and dull, but the beat is quick which makes up for the lyrical nonsense that sounds like Eminem doing a Slipknot cover. "The Collector" is easily one of my favorite songs on the album, angsty yet perseverant, the bass pounds out as the drummer beats the march beat--the piano drizzles out the last notes as the storm ends. "Hand that Feeds" is once again, a more bass-oriented song, so obviously, it's more "dancy" with the quick pace--though it doesn't compare to the other songs. "Love is not enough" is a bit whiny, but as always, Trent tells it as it is even if it's ugly, much like this track. "Everyday Is Exactly the Same" is the most accessible song on the album, U2-esque? Wow, that's different for industrial-metal. The lyrics describe boredom of boredom, you can love, hate, or keep it the same. "With Teeth" seems to tell the story of a drug that you love (which apparently is a woman), but its 'teeth' kill you and change you--WITH-UH TEETH-UH, was laughable. "Only" is a narcissistic theme song, suitable for today's teenage generation and population that simply repeats "THERE IS NO YOU THERE IS ONLY ME, THERE IS NO [....]ing YOU THERE IS ONLY ME", yet a catchy song. "Getting Smaller" was formerly my favorite song on With Teeth, I used to want nu-metal on it and this was what I wanted, thumbing bass, Trent's merciless yells and lyrics, it all flows quickly through this speed tunnel. "Line Begins To Blur" has a heavier industrial edge than the other songs, repent for sins, yet the sins lead to consequence; the background blares in your ears as Trent's screams of repent drown. "Beside You In Time", a great and ambient song, and you don't know what you're being led into next, a heavy and angry song (like "You Know What You Are) or a more quiet and at rest song such as "Everyday Is Exactly the Same". Eventually we get a more quiet rest to conclusion the album, "Right Where It Belongs", where the main character finds his place, hell or heaven, his place has been found, and the lyrics are brilliant--"What if everything around you isn't quite as it seems, What if all the world around you is an elaborate dream?" speculation of reality. The finally track, and a GREAT finish is "Home", where everything seems to unite once when it is where it belongs--drums pound throughout the song, and Trent sings until it comes to an end. Key songs: *The Collector *Hand that Feeds *Everyday Is Exactly the Same *Only *Getting Smaller *Beside You In Time *Right Where It Belongs *Home TO PEOPLE WHO ARE/WERE NEW TO NIN, SUCH AS I: After the first few listens, if you find that this album is not worth listening to, listen alittle more, then put it away for awhile. Pick it up, and listen to it again, you might come to appreciate it more as time goes by. Plus, I highly reccomend buying the imported version of With Teeth that has "Home" on it, you won't be disappointed and you don't know what you're missing. TO NIN FANS FROM THE PRETTY HATE MACHINE OR DOWNWARD SPIRAL DAYS: I'm sure you guys won't like this album, there aren't many songs that sound similar to the heavier and angrier earlier albums, and it sounds more like a rock album than an industrial metal album.

NIN - With Teeth - Trent Reznor Always Delivers
I have been a Nine inch Nails fan since the very beginning. I can honestly say, that I am never disappointed. I look forward to every release, knowing that it is going to be another powerful installment in the ever changing world of Nine Inch Nails. No matter what the current state of mind, Trent Reznor makes every release powerful and interesting and you can always be sure that he will never sell out, ever. Something most artists, inevitably do at some point. If you purchase a NIN cd, one thing is always certain, it is never going to be some piece of garbage that was thrown together, just to turn out a cd. It is always going to be something Trent Reznor poured his heart and soul into, and is most likely, very proud of. There will always be songs you like more than others. If you happen upon a song you don't particularly care for, give it time, let it soak in, it may be becuase you just don't "get it" at that given time. And if you find that you still don't like it after it has thoroughly soaked in, then press fast forward ! But please, don't go onto Amazon.com, The Spiral or other fan sites, and try to recruit others for your pathetic bashfest. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and, for that matter, to voice it. But, I have never seen a fan base that has such a large number of people who like to whine, cry, and act like Nine Inch Nails owes them something. Music is a form of art. If you don't like the art you are looking at, don't look at it. If you don't like the art you are listening to, don't listen to it, and move on. As for "With Teeth", it ROCKS !!! Thank you Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails !! As always, I'll be patiently awaiting your next release. See you on tour !!!

IT'S ALL IN THE STARS
good side:finally a new NIN album, Dave Grohl appears on several songs playing drums, Trent's voice sounds its best bad side:the entire packaging, the line-up change, lyrical content standout tracks:all the love in the world; the hand that feeds; every day is exactly the same; right where it belongs
