Trent Reznor, love him or hate him, no one can deny his talent. From music, to movies, and even video games, Trent is on a scale well above most modern artists. His cult following rivals that of most religious leaders and his notoriety is almost legendary.
And because of this, it makes this a hard album to review. It\'s hard to give this album the praise it deserves with out sounding to fanatical and any criticism will be seen as nitpicking. This will be one of the best albums released in 2005, but that\'s to be expected of Nine Inch Nails!
With Teeth starts off lightly with a synthetic drum beat that builds into a perfect intro, then flows into the next track perfect. Track after track the songs are distinctively different; amazingly they flow into each other. The only track that sticks out like it might not belong is track 4, the hand that feeds. It\'s the first single so that\'s forgivable and it doesn\'t take anything away from the album.
Every song stuck in my head and infected my mind. The first time I heard it I couldn\'t help but think how awesomely simple these songs seemed. Like anyone could make this album (given the right tools), but it was executed to perfection. It\'s amazing and there is nothing simple about it.
This album is a perfect release. Well planed, well made, well produced, everything an album should be!
On track 7, With Teeth, there is a 120 second interlude where the volume needs to be doubled to hear. Then when the time hits 4:20 the song starts back up again at the original volume, if one isn\'t careful they could blow out their speakers. A great song, with twist and a hidden message...
I really don\'t know what else to say. If you’re a Nine Inch Nails fan grab the album already. What are you waiting for? If you\'ve never owned a Nine Inch Nails album this is a great one to start with. Arguably the best NIN album since Pretty Hate Machine!
I\'ve had this album since it came out over a month ago and found it hard to write a review, I just didn\'t know what I could say except “Wow this is a fricken’ good CD”. It\'s only left my CD player under severe protest.
"With Teeth" is on sale May 3, 2005 from Interscope.
