So after a long hiatus Nine Inch Nails’ new album With Teeth is here. Reznor was able to pick up Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) to add live drums to the album. Didn’t help this mediocre release. Droning guitars and loud drums, the album feels more like a rock record influenced by industrial. It became repetitive halfway through, not good Trent. If you heard the single “The Hand That Feeds” on the radio you have heard the whole album. Lyrics were a disappointment. . A line is repeated through half of a song and nothing else. I ended up sick after listening to the line “Everyday is exactly the same” for the twentieth time. Come on Trent you can write better! I was disappointed with the lack of variety. I was looking forward to the end of the CD, again not good. Amongst all the gray areas there are a few clearings. “You Know What You Are?” proves the band still has some bite. It assaults you from the beginning and never lets you lose attention. “The Hand That Feeds” contains a great raw energy and it will certainly be a staple on every Nine Inch Nails show. “Only” gets your toe tapping. The beautiful “Everyday Is Exactly The Same” comments on how jaded life has become and is a haunting song that left an impression in my ears. Trent’s questions of disillusionment are juxtaposed against the cheering and clapping of a crowd in “Right Where It Belongs”. Overall it is great to see the band back but I guess the 5-year hiatus didn’t help. If you’re a hardcore Nine Inch Nails fan you have probably already picked up this album. If you’re somewhat interested in the band and want to know what they’re about pick up The Downward Spiral.

You forgot liz, that Reznor did the single with the intention of it sounding the way it did. He wants the listeners to mix it, mess it up, and come up with some cool stuff. I thought it was a fantastic move on his part to include fan participation to such an extent.

Gorillaz are back! Danger Mouse, instead of Dan the Automator, produced this lovely album. I cannot put this CD down. From the danceable “Feel Good Inc.” to the jazz flare of “Every Planet we Reach Is Dead” every track is enjoyable. “White Light” with it’s heavy beat recalls the feelings of a rave night, the build up to the insurmountable high and then the sudden crash. “DARE” has a disco beat that would make John Travolta sweat. This is a much darker album for these darker times. The album has something for everyone and can be enjoyed by all.

P.S. I'll gladly send anyone, who requests, my favorite tracks. If you like what you hear buy the album.

I liked all of your favorites, but I didn't like Last Living Souls as well as the others. Good Idea
