"With Teeth" is the fourth studio album by the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, released in 2005. The album marks a return to form for frontman Trent Reznor after a prolonged hiatus following the release of "The Fragile" in 1999.
"With Teeth" features a more straightforward and accessible sound compared to its predecessor, with a focus on heavy guitars, driving rhythms, and infectious melodies. The album's themes revolve around Reznor's struggles with addiction, self-doubt, and personal redemption, reflecting his own experiences and inner demons.
Standout tracks on the album include the lead single "The Hand That Feeds," a scathing critique of conformity and authority, as well as "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" and "Only," which explore themes of isolation and existential angst.
Despite mixed reviews from critics, "With Teeth" was a commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in several countries and earning Nine Inch Nails a Grammy Award nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance for "The Hand That Feeds."
Overall, "With Teeth" stands as a compelling chapter in Nine Inch Nails' discography, showcasing Reznor's evolution as a songwriter and his ability to craft music that is both introspective and anthemic.
