Thought you might like this article located here: https://right-thoughts.us/index.php/weblog/comments/the_saturday_share_3_19_05/ 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 SettingsuserDesktopnin_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.  :)
