"Nine Inch Nails"

Never heard anything by them before, but I couldn't help notice their new album, With Teeth, has just come out.

So, does anyone have it? And if so what's it like?

Perhaps he's dusted that flour off himself, stopped watching bootleg dvds of time-lapse rotting wolves and beaten up Marylin Manson for stealing his act and dumbing it down to angsty teens?

In some ways it reminded me of the earlier Pretty Hate Machine era stuff; but a bit less angry. If you go back and listen to the first album again it really does sound pretty poppy and straightforward compared to the last couple.

Yeah, my favourite on the album. He does subtle very well.

I dunno, it's certainly the most accessable of his records, but there's just something, well, odd, about the sound. On a superficial level it's very NiN. As I've mentioned though, I think there's something about the whole thing, which makes it different from anything else he's done before. Is it more poppy? Is it lighter than previous albums? Is it more rounded? Better production? I dunno, but it's something.

*Shrug* IMHO.

Err... after three or four listens I can confirm that it very much sounds like Reznors other stuff. Pretty much unmistakably so! The last track is absolutely fantastic btw.

Great album, but dont buy it and think it's going to be anything like Reznors other stuff. It's not.

Yeah, I love it, some great songs. They hosted the whole thing on MySpace not too long back, not sure if they still are though.

Never heard anything by them before, but I couldn't help notice their new album, With Teeth, has just come out.

So, does anyone have it? And if so what's it like?
