The Saturday Share 3/19/05
In case you didn’t know, I am/was/might still be a huge fan of Nine Inch Nails. In fact, it was NIN that brought my wife and I together in the Usenet newsgroup alt.music.nin. Tat was back when you could still get on Springer for dating online. :)
Anyway, I was truly disappointed with Trent’s last opus, “the fragile.” I found it meandering, ponderous, pretentious, self-inflated and bombastic. It was like a Stephen King book post-1990, only audio. It needed a good editor.
So I am kind of looking forward to the new NIN record now though after hearing the two “leaked” songs and the promo clips, which you can get here. That is an 18MB zip file with MP3s inside, and they are:
# Archive C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\nin_with_teeth_promo.zip
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 01 - all the love in the world.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 02 - you know what you are.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 03 - the collector.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 04 - the hand that feeds.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 05 - love is not enough.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 06 - every day is exactly the same.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 07 - with teeth.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 08 - only.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 09 - getting smaller.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 10 - sunspots.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 11 - the line begins to blur.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 12 - right where it belongs.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 13 - Promo track.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 14 - Getting Smaller.mp3
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (Promo) - 15 - Hand That Feeds.mp3
The last two are full-length songs. I don’t know if they are the album versions or a single version made just for “leaking,” but they;re full. Also, there is a video for “hand that feeds” which you can get here also (34.6MB Quicktime).
My take: Some of it is alt-rocky, too White Stripes for me. P.S. - I fucking hate the White Stripes. But, some of it is goddamned good, harkening back to the old days when TR was all raw anger and balls and pain. “you know what you are” made me sit right up and take notice, very Broken-era NIN. Some is a bit Pretty Hate Machine, which is also perfectly OK with me. A few tracks just blow if the samples are any indication. But...there’s enough of the good stuff that I definitely want to buy the record.
That’s right...buy. Not download, not pirate...buy. I still do that sometimes. :)

I will probably never think anything is as good as Pretty Hate Machine but I’m definitely willing to listen to this. Anyway I’m a total parody nerd and I think the White Stripes are hipster trash. But I’ve also heard Hand That Feeds on some radio promo and it didn’t sound that bad. I’m even considering going to Coachella this year to see NIN.

my favorite so far is the line begins to blur (there is a full version roaming about of that one as well. i have it if you want it).
so far, i’m content. on the other hand, i did NOT like the fragile, but still went to the supporting shows and still found the shows to be worth my money.
thus, no matter what, i still am glad i decided to spend WAYYYY too much for tix for the hammerstein show ;)

HAHAHHAHA ok people, stop emailing me and asking me for copies of the line begins to blur.

Wow. So I do a Yahoo! for ("with teeth” mp3), and what’s the first result? Some old-school #amninnies.
Brought a smile to this 23x’s face.

Heard Hand That Feeds on the radio when I was coming home from Tulsa the other day. Liked it quite a bit…
