Free Music Notes for With Teeth (Dig)
Free Music Review: Trent Reznor: Renewed.
Hit: 5 Stars
After a 6 year excrutiatingly long wait since The Fragile in 1999, Trent Reznor is back and better than ever in 2005. For a man who's been in the music business for over 10 years, and dubbed the God of industrial, Trent never fails to impress fans with his angst-driven, yet in most cases, beautifully haunting music. From the classic upbeat Pretty Hate Machine, to the heavy hitting yet euphoric The Fragile, Nine Inch Nails has always seemed to cover just about every scrap of ground that one could cover, in the world of Industrial-Rock. With Teeth is somewhat of an exception though. Trent's new album seems like 5 steps backwards, covering what already was, but improving upon it with new material, and an actual live band backing up his vocals. That's right, Trent is no longer a one-man band, he actually has a live band backing up most of the songs on this new release. With Teeth, the former "Bleedthrough", is a 13 track regression, that covers what already has been in terms of sound, and a tad bit of new sound to add to the flavor of the album. With Teeth is an extremely adverse album, that goes from hard hitting, to upbeat, to melodic, and repeats the cycle numerous times.
Almost every single track on this 2005 release has major replay value, and not a single song on the album, is bad nor doesn't belong. With Teeth has everything...melody for the lovers of melodic pieces, upbeat tracks for fans of Trent's early years, and hard hitting tracks for fans of disc 2 of The Fragile, and tracks such as "Burn", and "Starfu*kers, Inc." If With Teeth had to be compared to any release that Trent has put out, it'd have to be a cross between Broken and The Fragile, which in my own personal opinion, are 2 of Trent's best releases to date. So with that said, you already know you're going to be getting good music on this disc.
The subject mannor on With Teeth is for the most part, love-driven. The entire album is based on the ups and downs, of love. This may upset a few fans of Trent, as it may seem like a midlife-crisis that Trent should've kept to himself, and it may also please other fans of Trent, as...well...the music is just really really good, and you just can't argue with that. Lyrically, this album kind of sinks to a low, and really doesn't offer anything devastatingly amazing, but still finds a way to capture the listeners soul, and send it to a land of angst and euphoria. Also, at times, the album can be lyrically redundant, and extremely saddening. But knowing Trent, this is something a typical 5+ year long fan of Nine Inch Nails, needs to learn to expect, or even has learned to expect. Trent just loves to repeat the same things over and over, and With Teeth kind of proves this. There are even at times, With Teeth song titles in other songs on With Teeth. This may show a lack of creativity, but it's well worth it once you take a listen to it.
In the long run, With Teeth is going to be an album much debated amongst fans of Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails. Some will like it, and some won't. But don't let that stop you from atleast giving the cd a chance. I did, and it's now my 2nd favorite studio release the band (or therein lack of a band in most cases), has put out to date. The first obviously being The Fragile and probably always will be.
Standout tracks on With Teeth include the following:
"With Teeth", "Every Day is Exactly The Same", "Only", "Love is Not Enough", and "Right Where it Belongs."
Every other track on With Teeth is also quite good, but the above mentioned, are standout tracks, and really showcase the best of With Teeth in a nutshell, especially if you're looking to hear Trent go backwards and cover past classic styles.
The title track "With Teeth", has a dark vibe to it, some decent lyrics, and even a soft spot at about 3 minutes into the song where it goes silent, and Trent breaks out a piano and says, "I cannot go through this again." It's the most beautiful part in the entire song. This sounds somewhat like a song inspired from RIGHT of The Fragile. Which was a great era of Trent, and possibly the best.
The second standout track, "Every Day is Exactly The Same", showcases alot of what we really, really loved about the The Fragile era of Trent. It reminds me alot of, "We're in This Together" from LEFT of The Fragile. Not quite sure how, but it just does. It has some of the best lyrical content on With Teeth as well. The song for the most part, even full part, is fully melodic. But believe me when I say this, this track, is by far the 2nd best song on the cd and simply cannot be skipped.
The third standout track, "Only", is somewhat of a return to the roots of Trent Reznor...somewhat. It's an extremely upbeat song, with refrences to the classic that we all love, "Down in It" This song very well may be a sequel to it, infact. Furthermore, it has some of the most addicting lyrics ever, such as, "I just made you up, to hurt myself...and it worked...yes it did!"
The fourth standout track, "Love is Not Enough", is a return to the Broken era of Trent. The song can be MAJORLY and almost ACCURATELY compared to the Natural Born Killers track, "Burn." It has more than an 80% "Burn" vibe to it. The lyrical content, is dark...very dark and angry, with such passes as, "In your eyes is a place, worth remembering. For you to go and take this, and smash it apart...I've gone all this fu*king way, to wind up back at, back at the start!" It's a good song..don't skip it!
And lastly, the fifth standout track, "Right Where it Belongs", is a return to the The Downward Spiral era of Trent. The song is completely synth, and piano based. No drums, no guitars, nothing. Just a piano, and a synthesizer. This is *the best* song on the cd, because it has the best lyrics, such as, "You can live in this illusion, you can choose to believe. You keep looking but you can't find the words, now you're hiding in retreat." This song is a *prime* and promising for the future example of the talent that Trent has within himself, and this track just simply *must not* be skipped. You'll love it, I promise you that. Besides, it has kind of an "And all that could have been/Hurt" vibe to it. And those are 2 great songs from both The Downward Spiral and Still.
Notice that all of the standout tracks make good examples of past Trent eras? This is why I picked them. If you're really wanting to hear Trent revert back to what was good in the purist fan's mind, listen to those tracks, and if they can't change your mind or atleast make you like the album a little in terms of it sounding even a tad bit like older more enjoyable Trent, then With Teeth has failed you and you should just really take this in, as a new era of Trent. A new clean slate to call an era of Nine Inch Nails in terms of sound. Even if you hate it.
To sum up this review,
With Teeth is a great effort by Trent Reznor, and fans of the The Fragile and Broken eras of Nine Inch Nails, need not hesitate, and give this cd a chance. Like it or leave it, it's been made, and it's not going to leave untill it makes its impact on the select few fans who enjoy it.
Give With Teeth a chance, you won't regret it.
I hope this review has helped atleast a few of you people decide to buy this Trent Reznor masterpiece of a disc.
And as a bonus, I suggest picking up the UK import edition of With Teeth. It comes with 2 bonus tracks which include a 2nd cut of the track, "Right Where it Belongs", which sounds like an outtake from the Still EP, and the much coveted supposed "vinyl only" song, "Home." 15 Tracks in all, and no remixes. Just studio tracks.
With Teeth (Dig) Poster
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.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
