Notorious: With_Teeth
Ok folks, I've had the pleasure to hear the new Nine Inch Nails album 'With_Teeth'
And rest assured: its GOOD. Its damn good. I cannot wait to buy this!
This new disc's sound is hard to describe, but its definitely more focused and refined than 1999's 'The Fragile'. 'With_Teeth' is more immediately fulfulling and will be on repeat in your car for days to come. (Note: Don't get me wrong though, I loves me some Fragile.)
Trent has brought us 13 tracks of tasty NIN goodness.
'With_Teeth' also features a couple of tracks, including the current single 'The Hand that Feeds', that harken back to the pop sensibilities of 'Pretty Hate Machine'.
We also are treated with a few raw cuts like 'You Know What You Are?' and 'Getting Smaller' that pound the listener with lots of live drumming and heavy guitars/synths/sounds.
'Right Where It Belongs' , which is probably my fave song at the moment, is just a gorgeous minimalistist song that will surely become the new 'Hurt'.
'Only' , another standout, begins with Trent performing spoken word (sort of) over some throwback synth sounds.
Bottom line: Its a frickin' Nails album! You were going to buy this beauty anyhow! So nothing I just typed mattered to you. Frankly, I'm shocked you've read this far.
Notorious 'I can still feel you, even so far away' B.O.B.
