From Amazon.com
Trent Reznor has always been a one-trick-pony, but it's a damn good trick: sunny melodies filtered through ferocious electronics. Unfortunately, the trick's impact was often watered down by a tendency toward petulance and self-absorption. Still, almost six years after NIN's last release, The Fragile, the trick itself has lost none of its Teen-Beat-from-hell appeal. With Teeth blisters from the start with "All the Love in the World," and tracks like "The Collector" take full advantage of Dave Grohl's sledgehammer drumming. Reznor stretches occasionally, trying out different tactics, from crunchy, overtly commercial rave-ups ("The Hand That Feeds") to borderline New Wave ("Only"). But Teeth isn't about stretching. It's about doing the same trick, only better, with less clutter and more bite. By neatly distilling the sparseness of Pretty Hate Machine with Downward Sprial-style density, it ends up being the most focused record in the NIN catalog. –Matthew Cooke

Album Description
UK digipack version features two bonus tracks, 'Home' (Non-LP Version) & 'Right Where It Belongs' (Alternate Version). Five years is a long time by most people's standards, but when such a period passes between albums by Nine Inch Nails, the turbulent electro-noir behemoth conducted by Trent Reznor, it's par for an increasingly elaborate course. With Teeth follows a period of intense self-investigation, a psychological shelf-clearing. It's an album that startles with its clarity, with its renewed vigour. A catalogue of grievances perhaps, like all his records, but possessed with more of a will to fight back than any other Nine Inch Nails release to date. Interscope. 2005.

Customer Reviews

One of the best NIN
I'd recommend this album to almost anyone. It's scope is broad enough that most people would like the sounds of this album. This is my second favourite major Halo album, behind The Downward Spiral. (Major being: Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, Downward Spiral, The Fragile, and With Teeth). I'll talk about some of the songs.

Track 1 is an awsome Jazz/Piano/Progressive Rock type song, and makes an unbelievable introductory song. Track 2 is an excellent "industrial" metal song, one of my favourite NIN songs. Track 3 is typical NIN, think Downward Spiral meets The Fragile. Track 4 (you should have heard this on the radio) is essentially a dance tune, something a little new for NIN. Track 5 is very Downward Spiralish. Track 6 is a dreary, tedious song that inspires despair, but thats what it's supposed to do, I think, so it's a good song (sometimes I feel every day IS exactly the same). Track 7 has an interesting trippy drum beat, the lyrics are interesting to decypher. Track 8 (Only, the second single) is just great NIN, kind of remeniscent of Pretty Hate Machine in that its kinda Pop. Track 9 is more industrial Metal that inspires feelings of franticness, slightly tamer than Track 2. Track 10, one of my favourites that I think is overlooked, is themed along the lines of "Deep" or "Closer". Good ambient sounding song with some great bass. Track 11 is a noisy, distortion based song, not particularly noteworthy, but improved TENFOLD when I watched him do it live in the 2005 tour, great special live effects. Track 12 is just a synth/ambient sounding song, nothing special. Track 13 is an AMAZING song that ends the album perfectly. Unlike most albums (not his, I mean in general) that end weakly, this one ends on a great highnote, like The Downward Spiral with Hurt. This song is kind of muted for half of the duration, then comes alive when he says "What if everything around you isn't quite as it seems." Gives me goosebumbs. One of my favorite NIN songs.

I'd recommend this as a good starter album for someone looking to get into NIN, who likes pop and rock songs. For someone with a darker flare though, I'd recommend The Downward Spiral. For someone who likes older 80's stuff though, Pretty Hate Machine is the way to go. Also, if you like remixes, check out Halo 21 - Every Day is Exactly The Same.

Solid NIN Rock Album
Okay, so I'm not a true hardcore NIN fan. This is my first real exposure to NIN, and sure it may be a little more "commercial" and less tortured than past works, but it has made me a fan and I can't wait to pick up The Fragile. This CD is filled with great songs, aside from the crappy filler Beside You In Time. The intro starts slowly and switches completely in its second half, and the rest of the album is tightly connected; Every Day Is Exactly The Same, With Teeth, and Only is a back-to-back-to-back set worth the price of the CD by themselves. The rest of the CD is great too, and I hear new sounds every time I listen to the album (which is several times weekly for the last 4 months). If you want exposure to NIN, this is the way to start.

WITH_TEETH has teeth [late review]
Why do so many people hate this cd? I think it's getting to be a bit rediclous. Obviously after The Fragile, he isn't going to release TDS P 2, there is never going to be one. Of course, it may have been the finest record he has ever made, but if you like it that much, you may as well just listen to that and not evolve new tastes in music, it serves you right.

Everyone knows NIN has a different sound each album, and this one is no exception. This is the most stripped down recording to date (other than and all that have could been:still, but that is an ep, so it doesn't count) in fact, they almost sound like a traditional band, other than the sampling.

People are also critising that this is the first album that he also need manual help for some sections, i.e. drumming. Well, I'd like to see YOU try to make an album this good, yet be one of the most popular bands of the 90's-00's while you're on the verge of your 40th birthday.

A lot of songs can also be compared to songs on other NIN records. Sunspots- the new closer
Only - the new down in it
Love is not enough - the new Something I Can Never Have

All in all, if you're a true fan, you'll support the band, no matter how horrible they sound, I think they are like fine wine, improving with age.

5/5
