Changes

'''''With Teeth''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 19]]''''' or '''''[WITH_TEETH]''''') is the fifth full-length studio album by [[Nine Inch Nails]], released on May 3, 2005. It spawned three singles (''[[The Hand That Feeds (halo)|The Hand That Feeds]],'' , ''[[Only (halo)|Only]]'' , and ''[[Every Day Is Exactly The Same (halo)|Every Day Is Exactly The Same]]''), four tour legs, and much celebration for [[Trent Reznor]]'s sobriety.

In the US, a [[wp:DualDisc |DualDisc]] version of ''With Teeth'' was releasedin a digipak. A version referred to as the 'Limited Tour Edition' was released in the UK and Japan, with the CD and DVD as separate discs. It came in a two-disc jewel case and had the same cover art as the DualDisc.

==Outtakesand demos==

According to an interview with ''Remix Magazine'', 25 songs were written for ''With Teeth''.[https://www.theninhotline.com/archives/articles/display/55] The non-album tracks from this era are "[[Non-Entity]]" and "[[Not So Pretty Now]]"." During a chat with fans in [[The Spiral]], Reznor stated that these songs were outtakes from the ''With Teeth'' sessions, and studio recordings of them might one day surface. On March 20, 2009, Reznor released the long-awaited studio versions as part of the ''[[NINJA 2009 Summer Tour EP]]'' via ninja2009.com. On a PDF poster (containing lyrics and credits) posted to [[Nin.com/with teeth|the ''With Teeth'' site]] and later made physically available to members of The Spiral as part of the welcome package, several extra songs were alluded to but not featured on the album. All of these songs contained lyrics in some form, though they were not entirely legible. These songs are: * "[[Message To No One]]"* "[[The Warning (With Teeth song)|The Warning]]"* "[[The Life You Didn't Lead]]"

All of these songs contained lyrics in some form, though they were not entirely legible. These songs are: "[[Message To No One]]", "[[The Warning (With Teeth song)|The Warning]]", and "[[The Life You Didn't Lead]]". On May 5, 2005, in the [http://www.nin.wiki/File:2005_05_05Questions8.gif [Access]] section of [[nin.com]], Reznor simply replied with "?" in response to a fan submitted [[:File:2005_05_05Questions8.gif|the following fan question]]: "In the .pdf file for the lyrics to the ''With Teeth'' album, there are [''sic''] appears to be songs listed with lyrics that do not appear on the Dual Disc DualDisc CD/DVD album. Those songs include "Home," "Message To No One" and "The Life You Didn't Lead". Will these songs be released ever?" Reznor simply replied with "?"

In a late 2003 pre-release article from ''Alternative Press'' [httphttps://www.theninhotline.netcom/news/archivespermalink/backissue/03/11#1069729309/] for ''With Teeth,'' a song named "[[My Dead Friend]]" was mentioned. Whether this is an earlier name for a song that does appear (such as "Beside You In Time") or simply didn't make the cut, is so far unknown. It is speculated that it may have become "[[This Isn't The Place]]". Similarly, there is a possibility that "The Life You Didn't Lead" informed or inspired "[[The Lovers]]".

In January 2020, two separate CDs (marked as being from late 2004) surfaced that purported to contain songs from ''With Teeth'' in various states of completion, as well as outtakes that had not previously been mentioned. There were two different CDs: one with five tracks that were all released on the final album in some form, and a double CD containing all of the album tracks (some finished, some in demo form) and several demoed outtakes on disc two. The previously unknown outtakes were named "Cover It Up", "Good Day", and "The End". "Cover It Up" was also reported to be an early version of "[[The Idea Of You]]". The five-track CD was sold by Amoeba Records on eBay, and images of the double CD were posted to a NIN collecting group on Facebook. No content from either CD has been shared. Tracks claiming to be from the five-track CD were posted to archive.org the same month as the eBay sale, but were found to be [[Hoaxes_and_jokes#With_Teeth_.22Tentative_Sequence.22_CD_upload|elaborate fakes]]. These CDs were brought to the attention of [[Rob Sheridan]], who stated on Twitter that the five-track CD "appears to be one of the ones I made (printing out on a home printer on cut-out CD insert template paper) that we sent out to record industry people and potential collaborators." When asked on Patreon about the "new" outtakes, he stated, "I should probably not comment any further on that one, it's really not my place to talk about unreleased NIN stuff."

The first disc contains all of the albumtracks (some possibly finished, written by David Frickesome labeled as demos) in what ended up being the final album running order. The second disc contains outtakes and demos, including previously unknown outtakes named "Cover It also contains the lyricsUp", "Good Day", adapted from and "The End".

The initial concept of the album was an exploration of “loss "loss and possible discovery of self, along with alternate layers of reality and perception set inside a nightmare you can't seem to wake up from; with lots of feedback”feedback. " Around this time mysterious quotes and binary codes appeared on the NIN websitenin.com, including a passage from the book ''[[wp:The Lathe of Heaven|The Lathe of Heaven]]'' by Ursula K. Le Guin, containing the phrase "bleed-through". The working title for ''With Teeth'' was ''Bleedthrough'', referencing the phenomenon of audio bleed-through.  Pre-production and initial recording began in 2003, and the original album title was announced by ''Alternative Press'' in November.[https://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1069729309] The concept lasted far enough into the recording process that Rob Sheridan had mocked up an album cover with the original title. In an [http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5937146/nine_inch_nails_let_it_bleed/ interview] in February 2004, Reznor stated that the new material was "more song-oriented (than ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]''). It's much more lean. It's going to be twelve good punches in the face -- no fillers, no instrumentals, just straight to the point…It's a complicated concept record, but reduced to just simple songs. It's not epic in its scope. It's minimal and a bit brutal."  In response to a [[Access#2004_10_18|question posted]] in on October 18, 2004 to the [[Access]] section of [[nin.com]] , Reznor announced that the working title ''Bleedthrough'' had been dropped. Reznor stated that the name was changed because "it was supposed to be about different layers of reality seeping into the next, but I think some people were thinking about blood or a tampon commercial.". "'Bleedthrough' is no more," Reznor wrote in a message posted on nin.com, "as the songs and concepts matured, the focus and theme of the album shifted somewhat--leaving me feeling that title was inappropriate. Or you could just say I changed my mind. Yes, the new album has a title and track list, and no I'm not telling you what it is yet.". 

The album's new title was [[:Image:10-28.gif|announced]] on nin.com on October 28, 2004. The title may be a reference to a song of the same name by [[Related bands and artists#The Melvins|The Melvins]], as Reznor is a fan. Reznor commented on the change of direction for the album, stating that "About five or six songs into writing it, the songs started to sound good on their own and they didn't need this framework to work together,” and that ''With Teeth'' consists of "a collection of songs that are friends with each other, but don't have to rely on each other to make sense", however, the album's narrative arc describes "a difficult journey that begins with a nightmare and ends with acceptance of a new reality.”"[http://theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=21] Reznor elaborated on this in an interview[https://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/display/175] with ''Guitar World'':<blockquote>There was a point about five or six songs in that I came up with the idea of having a theme. I had an elaborate plotline, similar to ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]''—a script, kind of, with a starting point, an end point and a progression with song titles that could be peppered in. I drew a graph in a notebook showing the sequence of events, with time as the horizontal axis. I started writing the songs to fit that, but after a while it felt forced, unnecessary. I was coming up with good songs that could stand on their own, that didn't need to graft onto this heavy-handed storyline. I had the courage to say that's okay.</blockquote> In a 2024 post on his Instagram profile[https://www.instagram.com/p/C2sfmtRPXNU/?img_index=6], Rob Sheridan elaborated on the evolution of the material: <blockquote>Whenever this work comes around again, people always ask me about the ''"Bleedthrough"'' album, how different it was from ''"With Teeth,"'' etc and I think there’s this fan mythos that some entirely different album was scrapped and sits in a vault somewhere, but that’s not the case. ''Bleedthrough'' was just in-progress ''With Teeth'' demos, and what changed wasn’t the entire album, it was the new material that was added as recording moved from New Orleans to LA, how that affected the way older demos were completed, how the tracklist evolved, how perspectives shifted. Sometimes concepts change as inspiration changes, and the names and visuals you’ve been sitting with for almost a year don’t feel right anymore. If anything, what you saw at that time was a rare window into the creative process of how an album evolves, not the scrapping of a bunch of material to start from scratch. And the artwork, as well, evolved pretty organically from this into the ''"With Teeth"'' artwork.</blockquote>

In an [http://www.rollingstone==Recording==According to a statement on nin.com/news/story/5937146/nine_inch_nails_let_it_bleed/ interview] in February 2004 , Reznor stated that the new material was “more song-oriented (than ''producer [[The Fragile (halo)wp:Rick Rubin|The FragileRick Rubin]]'').

According In an interview with ''Remix Magazine'', Reznor spoke about his new approach to recording: <blockquote>I wasn't doing anything consciously to react to what I thought sucked around me. And I didn’t do this record to be the opposite of ''The Fragile'', although it kind of came out that way. It just seemed fresh to me. It seemed inspiring. And the records I found myself listening to while doing this record—like old Gang of Four records, Stooges, Iggy Pop—felt fresh, felt dangerous, felt underproduced. It felt like the spirit of a human being conveying an emotional message was there in those things. And it wasn't caught up in the glitz and glamour of production bells and whistles, which I myself have embraced at times in the past. So I wanted to kind of strip it down, and I realized I felt comfortable not fitting a lot of layers of stuff in. I thought, 'Let's only put in what is absolutely necessary. Let's take a stripped-down approach.'<br><br>I realized that the last couple of records were written in the studio. So the writing and production and arrangement phase all kind of took place at the same time, bypassing having demos. Songs would start sometimes with a soundscape, sometimes a visual idea, sometimes a drumbeat, sometimes a cool effect, sometimes a statement chord change. But, usually, the setting was created first, and then a song kind of got wedged in there later on nin. And this time around, I went about it pretty much the opposite way. I set up a kind of demo room out in Los Angeles and moved out here from New Orleans, really just for a change of pace. I wanted to set up a place where I didn’t have too many options, and I wanted to do demos this time around.[https://www.theninhotline.com, Reznor stated that producer /archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=55]</blockquote> An interview with [[wpAtticus Ross]] in ''EQ Magazine''[https:Rick Rubin|Rick Rubin]//www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/display/155] gave some details about gear that was used for the album:<blockquote>For some of the tracks on ''With Teeth'', Reznorplayed a Moog Voyager through a Fuzz Factory or a few other radical distortion guitar pedals.

During Sometimes we would take that out through the recording modular, sometimes we would find stuff to do to it inside of the computer, or sometimes one synth would go into another synth just to get a different effect."</blockquote> The albumis also notable for the fact that several tracks ("All The Love In The World", "You Know What You Are?", "The Collector", "Every Day Is Exactly The Same", "Getting Smaller", "Sunspots", "The Line Begins To Blur", and non-album track "Non-Entity") feature [[Dave Grohl]] on drums. In a [[Access#2004_07_13|post]] to the Access section of nin.com, Reznor listened to Gang Of Fourstated that Grohl had drummed on fifteen tracks, Public Image Ltdand it is not known why he only features on a total of eight tracks. Reznor had been wanting a Dave Grohl-esque drum sound during the initial stages of recording, and Pere Uburealized it would make more sense to simply ask Grohl if he would do the drumming.[https://www.latimesloudersound.com/archivesfeatures/lanin-foo-xpmfighters-2005with-aprteeth-10trent-careznor-reznor10dave-storygrohl] While there were no proper physical liner notes for ''With Teeth'', Grohl's drum credits appeared on the PDF file that was released alongside the album, as well as on nin.com at the time of the album's release.html]

[[Image:WTconceptart.jpeg|thumb|''With Teeth'' concept art]]''With Teeth'' was the only NIN album packaged without proper liner notes until the standard edition of ''[[Hesitation Marks]]''. Lyrics as well as detailed credits for the album were only available at the album's promotional site (both onscreen and in the form of the aforementioned PDF poster.) In a [[Access#2005_05_03|post]] on the Access section of nin.com, Reznor had originally wanted to release a more lavish package expressed disillusionment with the CD format and the subsequent shift toward digital, stating that the idea of forgoing physical liner notes felt appropriate for the album once times and the second leg changing of the tour had begun, but this never materialized. Lyrics were eventually included in the Definitive 2019 Vinyl editionalbum experience.

Reznor had originally wanted to release a more lavish package for the album once the second leg of the tour had begun, but this never materialized. Lyrics were eventually included in the Definitive 2019 Vinyl edition. In an a 2005 interview with ''The Toronto Sun'', Reznor stated his original plan:

==TouringSupport Tour==

The album was supported by a major tour that visited clubs, arenas and amphitheaters around the world and lasted over a year. With Reznor clean and sober, the shows took on a somewhat new kind of atmosphere, with greater musical precision and a slightly more upbeat attitude. The tour incorporated new visual elements, with different kinds of lighting and set design than had been used on previous tours. Portions of the tour were filmed and released as ''[[Beside You In Time (halo)|Beside You In Time]]'' on DVD, HD-DVD , and Blu-ray in 2007.
