NIN:With Teeth
rynne:
--- Quote from: Spencer ---Im really interested in the influence of Jeordie White on the overall sound of the band. He and Trent transformed Marilyn Manson into quite a resepctable group of musicians (just listen to the difference in musicianship between Portrait of an American Family and Antichrist Superstar).
--- End quote ---
Jeordie had no effect on the album; he wasn’t hired until after it was recorded. I’d have to look over the liner notes again, but I’m pretty sure the only guest musicians on the album are drummers: Grohl and Jerome Dylan. I’ve heard lots of good things about the live band.
Total agreement on Antichrist Superstar, though. That album has got "Trent and Jeordie" plastered all over it.
Spencer:
Downloaded the album last night. Definitly going to have to buy a legit copy.
Best NIN album since Broken.
I am kicking the hell out of my ass for not going to Coachella last weekend.
Liv:
I want it...badly.
And I was never really a fan to begin with [unless just enjoying their music counts.]

Well, at the risk of writing a full-scale review, which is something I'm prone to doing at this time of night/morning, I'll try to keep it short.
The album is good, and cohesive. Not since I went through my beatles phase have I liked every single song on every single album by the same band. Nine Inch Nails has not ceased to...avoid disappointing me. I've been following the production of this album for nigh on a 2 years. (Most of which was waiting for news of the new album to even START being written). Even so, there is little to say after having said that. 6 years of waiting, and the album exceeds my expectations.
I've read a lot of reviews about Reznor not changing his style, or being the same old whiney twenty-three year old in a 39 year old's body. Really though, after overcoming alcoholism AND a cocaine addiction you've got to acknowledge the fact that the years between being 28 and being 39 kinda disappeared for him. Also, to demand that a man who's made awesome music for 15 years change his style is to demand that a pop-punk band start playing classical music.
I daren't claim one album is better than another. It's not like a succession, it's like a puzzle. With each new album, you're given more of the puzzle. There is no piece of a puzzle that's better than another, or fits better than the others. They all fit together. The best part is that the puzzle never ends.
Until Trent Reznor dies anyway...
Rather than just say which songs I liked most or whatever, I'm just going to finish saying that it's 13 more tracks to add to my collection of songs that I'll never forget, and will always be a part of me. One more puzzle piece that's just as important as all the other pieces (not so much the remix albums...I like to pretend those don't exist sometimes). To quote Reznor,
With Teeth is 12 punches in the face. But he didn't mention that there's a 13th track, which is more like a sad hug between reunited friends who have to leave eachother once again...until the next album.
...woah, that came out a little more...than I wanted it to.
Sorry folks. :P
Liv:
that was beautiful, man. Like poetry. [good poetry, not that whiney shit]
