DualDisc content includes both DVD-A & 5.1 surround sound mixes of the album.
Over the course of his musical career, Trent Reznor has managed to deliver a full-length studio album about every five years. Although he's a bit late with 2005's WITH TEETH (following 1999's THE FRAGILE), listeners are rewarded with Nine Inch Nails' most streamlined and straightforward record since PRETTY HATE MACHINE. Here Reznor cuts back on programming and synthesizers, opting for heavy use of guitars, bass, and--surprisingly--piano and live drums. In fact, the album's secret weapon is drummer Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), whose thunderous percussive style gives certain songs--most notably the frenetic "You Know What You Are?"--added weight and a welcome no-frills rock edge. Though the techno/industrial element of Reznor's music has been played down, his lyrics are typically angst-ridden, with dramatic tales of isolation, deception, loss, and love gone wrong. More than 15 years after his debut, Reznor is as tormented as ever, and Nine Inch Nails fans wouldn't have it any other way.

WITH TEETH HAS AN AFTERBITE Nine Inch Nails are all about primordial hardcore hankering, but surprisingly, the first track on their new album, WITH TEETH, unfolds like a dull knife. “All The Love In The World”, although satisfying, fails to cut the jugular. It isn’t until the second song, “You Know What You Are?” does some of the fisted-fury begin. Industrial distortion, Beelzebub-baselines, and large dollops of profanity, buzz and boil over with Reznor’s violent reaction to life’s frustrations. In typical NIN fashion, songs about selfish and abusive relationships, both personal and professional, are presented here more as an ongoing nuclear war, rather than lamentations over lost love and disillusionment. Standout tracks include the hook-heavy “Love Is Not Enough”, “Getting Smaller” and “The Line Begins To Blur”. The Dual-Disc version featuring the 5:1 surround mix is the preferred method to appreciate Trent Reznor’s temper tantrum of sound. Fans will have to decide for themselves if NIN is evolving, or dissolving on this album. Repeated plays of WITH TEETH reinforced this fan’s belief in Nine Inch Nails rabid bite. Highly recommended.

Better!!! The words don't always matter with Trent because he could write something really happy and the melody would still make you depressed. Over all, the band has gotten a lot better with their electronics. I find myself lost in a unique world when listening to "Everyday Is The Same". Keep it up guys.

Look beneath the surface. When i first heard this i thought it was good, but my mind peered to his older work for comparison. The more i listened the more i grew attatched to it. Underneath the surface is confusion and a dawning relization. Just quitting drugs a lot of the songs show the struggle and satisfaction at the end of the gate, and the themes expressed in it are touching and overwhelmingly well presented. This album is in no way inferior (times ugly face included in this) than any other NIN album and dominates many people around him today.
