Amazon.co.uk Review
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 Spiral-style density, it ends up being the most focused record in the NIN catalogue. --Matthew Cooke

Album Description
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.

CD Description
Feverishly anticipated fourth album from industrial rock maestro Trent Reznor comes a full six years after 1999's 'The Fragile'. After intensive spells in rehab and therapy, he has come back brighter - but no less furious - with this thunderous collection. Less experimental and more overtly song-based than his last couple of albums, it features the talents of Dave Grohl on drums and includes the single 'The Hand That Feeds'.

Customer Reviews

Only.....Another Modern Masterpiece!
First off, this has to be one of THE best albums of the year so far. I hope it doesn't go unnoticed when the awards are being handed out.

Secondly, to ht people comparing this to NIN's previous work (The Downaward Spiral in particular), please stop because it is good enough to stand alone. Also, to those that say that this is a more commercially-friendly record, I don't agree. Yes, it sounds more crisp, more polished, more 'sane' even than Trent's previous work but that is largely to due to him 'cleaning up' his act. New single 'Only' IS catchy and you CAN dance to it but so what? I found that I could dance to 'Closer' but did that make it MTV-orientated? If you listen to the lyrics, they really speak for themselves: "There is no f******* you, there is only me."

Like the previous reviwer, it took me a few listens to fully appreciate the depth of this album but once I got it, I fell in love. Standout tracks for me would be the brooding opener All The Love In The World, the superb Everyday is Exactly The Same, With Teeth, Only and Right Where It Belongs.

If you have only a mild interest in NIN or Trent Reznor please buy this album because I do not believe you will be disappointed!

Excellent effort from NIN
The latest album from Trent Reznor and co. is a brilliantly hard-rocking, punchy and tuneful set of songs.

In scope With Teeth is simpler and more straightforward than previous NIN discs like the sprawling, ambitious double album The Fragile. It's also a lot more song-oriented, and less reliant on soundscapes, ambient instrumentals or studio atmospherics. Reznor alternates electronic elements like programmed synths and drum machines with the more organic instrumentation of a real rock `n' roll band - metallic guitars, bass, tambourine, piano and live drums courtesy of Dave Grohl. It's a straightforward, high-energy hard rock album, and it's an excellent example of that. It's still Nine Inch Nails and therefore it's still dark and angst-ridden, but there's something fresh here too: a kind of playful positive energy, an element of fun, even a wry sense of humour. It's far too angry to be considered anything like a feelgood album, but it somehow still manages to sound like Reznor coming from a stronger, wiser place rather than always putting himself in the same whiny martyr role.

Reznor has always had a strong gift for creating catchy melodies and memorable hooks, and he's not afraid to exploit his pop sensibilities on With Teeth. Several tracks are funky, danceable and instantly addictive. Three minutes into opener All the Love in the World, it suddenly morphs from gothic piano gloom into a bouncy disco/house beat; Only is insanely catchy, with its robotic 80s drum intro and bubbling New Wave keyboards; Every Day Is Exactly The Same belies its nihilistic title and suicide lyric to reveal an accessible pop core; Sunspots has a chorus you'll be humming for long afterwards. Closing track Right Where It Belongs is a nicely ethereal David Bowie-style piano ballad and this album's equivalent of Hurt or Something I Can Never Have. Other tracks like The Collector, You Know What You Are?, Getting Smaller and first single The Hand That Feeds are brutal, crunchy and hard as nails, driven by chainsaw guitar riffs and Grohl's powerhouse drumming. And the title track - in which Reznor sings the title as "Awitha teetha" over and over - is an awesome slab of fuzzy, distorted industrial noise with the sexiest bassline I've heard in a long time. I was happy to hear that Reznor can still craft music as furious, hard-rocking and plain noisy as anything on Broken or The Downward Spiral.

There are no weak notes or filler tracks on this album. I entered With Teeth without the highest expectations and I was pleasantly surprised to hear one of Nine Inch Nails' very best albums to date. Well worth buying.

It's a great album. Fact.
Many people have hit this album down because it deviates from the original style of the fragile and the downward spiral. Sure, those are great albums, but with teeth is a nice addition to the collection.
Bearing in mind that Trent had a sizeable break from music production to fight an onward battle against drugs and alcoholism, this album commemorates him, in a way, freeing himself from himself and getting back to what he loves doing. In an interview, reznor said "with teeth was, essentially, a test for me. to see if i still got it".
And he has.
The new songs have a melancholy and soothing feel at times (Every day is exactly the same), and then take you by surprise with tracks like "The hand that feeds" and "Getting Smaller".
This is by no means a bad album. Those who state it as so simply trashed it because trent has moved on from his roots slightly.
