'''''With Teeth''''' (stylized as '''''[WITH_TEETH]''''') is the fourth studio album by the American [[industrial rock]] band [[Nine Inch Nails]], released by [[Nothing Records]] and [[Interscope Records]] on May 3, 2005.<ref>{{Citation |title=Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth Album Reviews, Songs & More {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/with-teeth-mw0000472021 |access-date=October 31, 2023 |language=en}}</ref> The album was produced by Nine Inch Nails frontman [[Trent Reznor]] and long-time collaborator [[Alan Moulder]]. It also features contributions from musician [[Dave Grohl]] and future band member [[Atticus Ross]].

In line with the band's previous material, the record features introspective songwriting influenced by Reznor's addiction to alcohol and drugs and subsequent sobriety. The album generated three singles: "[[The Hand That Feeds]]", "[[Only (Nine Inch Nails song)|Only]]", and "[[Every Day Is Exactly the Same]]", the latter of which was released as an accompanying remix EP. The album was supported by the [[#Live: With Teeth tour|Live: With Teeth tour]].

''With Teeth'' was well received by critics, albeit slightly less than the band's previous work. Some complimented the aggressive composition, while others said the album was bland and criticized Reznor for a lack of originality. The album became the band's second to reach No. 1 in the U.S. and was certified gold both by the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]] and [[British Phonographic Industry|BPI]] and platinum by [[Music Canada]].

==Background==
Nine Inch Nails garnered mainstream attention with their influential second album ''[[The Downward Spiral]]'', as well as a widely broadcast live performance at [[Woodstock '94]], becoming one of the most popular music acts of the 1990s. Reznor appeared in ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine's list of the year's most influential people in 1997, and ''Spin'' magazine described him as "the most vital artist in music".<ref name="Time">{{cite magazine|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,986206-17,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061110052645/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,986206-17,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 10, 2006|title=Time's 25 most influential Americans|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|date=April 21, 1997|volume=149|issue=16|page=66|access-date=April 15, 2008}}</ref> However, his musical output was infrequent, having released only three studio albums from 1989 to 2005 with a rough average of five years between each release. During this time, Reznor became increasingly addicted to alcohol and drugs, resulting in depression and [[writer's block]].

The 1999 Nine Inch Nails double album ''[[The Fragile (Nine Inch Nails album)|The Fragile]]'' was met with generally positive reviews from music critics and eventually sold 898,000 copies. However, it failed to attain the success of its predecessor and fell from the top of the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' charts after only a week. Afterwards, the only original Nine Inch Nails material released until 2005 was the 2000 remix album ''[[Things Falling Apart]]'', as well as the 2001 remix album ''[[And All That Could Have Been#Still|Still]]'' and the 2001 single "[[Deep (Nine Inch Nails song)|Deep]]" from the ''[[Lara Croft: Tomb Raider]]'' soundtrack. Reznor told ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'' magazine in 2005, "I was going to just drink myself or drug myself out of it. I got back to [[New Orleans]] after the ''Fragile'' tour, and I'd pretty much lost my soul."<ref name="Shadow of Death">{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]|title=The Shadow of Death|first=Marc|last=Spitz|date=June 2005|url=http://theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=43}}</ref>

==Writing and recording==
===Songwriting===
After Reznor decided to go to rehab, he began work on a new album and found that the songwriting process moved along easier for him than in the past. He said that it was due to having "a pretty good game plan" and elaborated, "I had themes and subjects [...] as my brain started working, the songs just started to come out. I regained my self-confidence."<ref name="Shadow of Death" /> He originally planned the album to be a [[concept album]], complete with a storyline. He was quoted in a 2007 article as saying, "I'd come up with this kind of elaborate [[plot (narrative)|storyline]], and the record was gonna be a concept record that had a number of pretentious elements to it. I was gonna talk about multi-layered reality and waking up in a dream you can't wake up out of, and eventually finding acceptance after you go through this period of trying to fight it. It was all kind of a big analogy for me getting sober."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=69127 |work=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |title='Year Zero' Not NINE INCH NAILS' First Attempt At Concept Album |access-date=January 2, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080116173303/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=69127 |archive-date=January 16, 2008 }}</ref>

===Nothing Studios sessions===
Reznor began recording the album at Nothing Studios in New Orleans, the last release he recorded at the location before permanently relocating to Los Angeles.<ref name="Audiohead interview">{{cite web|url=http://www.audiohead.net/interviews/nin/index.html|title=Nine Inch Nails "With Teeth"|publisher=audiohead.net|access-date=January 2, 2010}}</ref> The album was produced by Reznor and long-time Nine Inch Nails producer [[Alan Moulder]], with engineering and assistance by [[Atticus Ross]], who would later join the band as its second official member in 2016. The album was mixed in stereo and 5.1 surround sound.<ref name="Billboard title release" /> [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] drummer and [[Foo Fighters]] frontman [[Dave Grohl]] contributed drums and percussion on seven tracks.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Sheffield|first=Rob|title=With Teeth {{!}} Album Review|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/with-teeth-20050505|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=May 5, 2005|access-date=March 26, 2013}}</ref><ref name="allmusic review"/> According to a statement on the official Nine Inch Nails website, Reznor stated that producer [[Rick Rubin]] was his "mentor" and "source of inspiration" throughout the planning and writing process of the album.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1489402/new-nin-album-due-early-05.jhtml|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130129133230/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1489402/new-nin-album-due-early-05.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 29, 2013|publisher=[[MTV News]]|last=Rashbaum|first=Alyssa|title=New NIN Album Due In Early '05, But First Some Reissues|date=June 14, 2004|access-date=May 4, 2008}}</ref>

Reznor was heavily inspired by the use of more [[Analog synthesizer|analog]] electronic effects and instruments, specifically tape [[Delay (audio effect)|delay]] and [[modular synthesizer]]s.<ref name="Audiohead interview" /> A post on the band's official website dated May 5 indicated that Reznor, Ross, and Leo Herrera were in the studio recording and "refining" rough new material.

Before the album's release, Reznor described ''With Teeth'' as "more song-oriented" and "lean" than ''The Fragile'' (1999).<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Baltin|first=Steve|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5937146/nine_inch_nails_let_it_bleed/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071001210928/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5937146/nine_inch_nails_let_it_bleed/|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 1, 2007|title=Nine Inch Nails Let It Bleed|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=February 24, 2004|access-date=February 27, 2008}}</ref> In reference to the album's sound, Reznor said he "tried to keep a lo-fi aesthetic running through it, a kind of carelessness."<ref name="Shadow of Death" />  Moreover, he stated the music was less of a [[concept album]], and more of "a collection of songs that are friends with each other, but don't have to rely on each other to make sense".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/bands/n/nin/news_feature_050509/index3.jhtml|title=Nine Inch Nails: The Upward Spiral|publisher=MTV News|date=May 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060202145710/http://www.mtv.com/bands/n/nin/news_feature_050509/index3.jhtml|archive-date=February 2, 2006|access-date=December 18, 2006}}</ref> ''With Teeth'' is considered as Reznor's most [[Rock music|rock]]-centric album since the [[Broken (Nine Inch Nails EP)|''Broken'' EP]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.stereogum.com/1467231/trent-reznor-albums-from-worst-to-best/franchises/counting-down/attachment/withteeth/|title=Trent Reznor Albums From Worst To Best: With Teeth|website=[[Stereogum]]|date=September 16, 2013|access-date=August 30, 2015|author=Schafer, Joseph}}</ref> and labeled as [[industrial rock]], [[electronic rock]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://entertainment.ie/album-review/Nine-Inch-Nails-With-Teeth/111121.htm|title=Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth review|publisher=[[entertainment.ie]]|date=May 18, 2005|access-date=August 30, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|title=Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth|magazine=[[Uncut (magazine)|Uncut]]|date=June 2015|page=97}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.altpress.com/artists-who-completely-reinvented-their-sound-from-album-to-album/ | title=15 artists who completely reinvented their sound from album to album | website=[[Alternative Press (magazine)|Alternative Press]] }}</ref> and [[hard rock]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20147560,00.html|title=Picks and Pans Review: Nine Inch Nails|work=[[People (magazine)|People]]|date=May 16, 2005|access-date=December 29, 2015|author=Arnold, Chuck and Ralph Novak}}</ref> The album's sound also draws inspirations from genres such as [[drum and bass]], [[Pop music|pop]], [[electronica]], [[Ambient music|ambient]],<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.musicomh.com/reviews/albums/nine-inch-nails-with-teeth|title=Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth|magazine=[[musicOMH]]|date=May 2, 2005|access-date=August 30, 2015|author=Bansal, Vik}}</ref> [[trip hop]],<ref name="pitchfork">{{cite web |author=Raposa, David |date=May 10, 2005 |title=Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth |url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/5803-with-teeth/ |access-date=August 29, 2013 |publisher=[[Pitchfork Media|Pitchfork]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Gill, Jaime |title=Nine Inch Nails With Teeth Review |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/86vr |access-date=August 29, 2013 |publisher=[[BBC]]}}</ref> and [[acid house]].<ref>{{cite magazine |author=Browne, David |date=April 25, 2005 |title=With Teeth (2005) – Nine Inch Nails |url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1052682,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071023081903/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1052682,00.html |archive-date=October 23, 2007 |access-date=August 29, 2013 |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]}}</ref>

The album's lyrics tackle Reznor's opinion of himself, his relationship with the world around him and his place in it, and his struggles with addiction. Although it dealt with these issues, Reznor was hopeful that it was still "disguised enough that [it was] not a terribly boring record about recovery and addiction".{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} Reznor also drew influence from the [[September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001, attacks]], which occurred shortly after his recovery. The album's first single, "[[The Hand That Feeds]]", was a direct example of the themes of protest and propagandist fear that helped influence the album.<ref name="Hell">{{cite web|url=http://theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=21|title=To Hell and Back|author=Chick, Steve|work=Kerrang!

In a statement to fans on the official Nine Inch Nails website, Reznor explained that his dislike for the constraints of [[compact disc|CD]] artwork led to the creation of a downloadable 20-megabyte {{convert|3|by|4|ft|m}} poster, incorporating credits, lyrics, and artwork.<ref>{{cite web|archive-date=April 3, 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050403091327/http://www.nin.com/access/3-22/questions9.gif |url=http://nin.com/access/3-22/index.html |title=Access |author=Trent Reznor |author-link=Trent Reznor |publisher=NIN.com |date=March 22, 2005 |access-date=February 1, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|archive-date=May 9, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070509181641/http://www.nin.com/access/5_03_05/index.php|url=http://www.nin.com/access/5_03_05/index.php|title=Access|author=Trent Reznor|author-link=Trent Reznor|publisher=NIN.com|date=May 3, 2005|access-date=February 1, 2008}}</ref> The poster, designed by Reznor and [[Rob Sheridan]], contains lyrics that are not featured in the actual songs (a practice Reznor has continued since ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]''), as well as song titles and lyrics not featured on the album, possibly recorded but unreleased.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gearwire.com/aaron-north-interview.html |title=Aaron North of Nine Inch Nails – The Gearwire Interview |publisher=Gearwire |date=October 9, 2006 |access-date=February 27, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080219191611/http://www.gearwire.com/aaron-north-interview.html |archive-date=February 19, 2008 }}</ref> The poster is available to members of the official Nine Inch Nails fan club as part of the initial welcome package.

''With Teeth'' is the last Nine Inch Nails studio album to include the [[Nothing Records]] logo in the packaging, since it was declared extinct after the February 2007 inclusion of the ''[[Beside You in Time]]'' home video.<ref>''With Teeth'' ([[Interscope Records]]/[[Nothing Records|nothing]], May 3, 2005) artwork.</ref> Before the release of the album, fans were able to listen to ''With Teeth'' in its entirety by attending listening parties that took place in 13 cities throughout the U.S. Anyone who attended received promotional posters and stickers. Those who pre-ordered the album received a limited edition 7" [[Gramophone record|vinyl]] containing the single "The Hand That Feeds," as well as the [[A-side and B-side|B-side]] track "Home." The album was promoted with seven short teaser trailers. ''[[The Fragile (Nine Inch Nails album)|The Fragile]]'', ''[[Things Falling Apart]]'', and ''[[Year Zero (album)|Year Zero]]'' were also promoted with trailers, as well as commercials.

''With Teeth'' was released as a standard CD, double vinyl, a [[DualDisc]] and a CD/DVD combo.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nin.com/halo/|title=Nine Inch Nails – Body of Work|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630042356/http://www.nin.com/halo/|archive-date=June 30, 2007|publisher=NIN.com|access-date=April 13, 2008}}</ref> In addition to 5.1 surround and stereo mixes of the songs, the DualDisc (and DVD) contain the video for "[[The Hand That Feeds]]", an interactive discography and a slide show of album artwork. Reznor also released [[Multitrack recording|multitrack files]] for a few of the songs.  In retrospect Reznor said, "That whole idea of putting up multitracks, really was just, several years ago, bored in a hotel room [...] just as an experiment I happened to have the multitracks with me—I think I was doing press for ''With Teeth''--I loaded up "The Hand That Feeds" and made it as a multitrack, in [[GarageBand]].
