'''''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.
==Track List==
===Cassette===
The cassette version was only released in a few international countries where cassettes were still popular. It has the CD run order, with "Home" as the last track, and splits the sides between "With Teeth" and "Only". This was the final NIN release to be officially issued on cassette, until the ''[[Tron: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)|Tron: Ares]]'' soundtrack.

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]]", and "[[The Life You Didn't Lead]]". On May 5, 2005, in the [[Access]] section of [[nin.com]], a fan submitted [[:File:2005_05_05Questions8.gif|the 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 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 "?"
The initial concept of the album was an exploration of "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." Around this time mysterious quotes and binary codes appeared on nin.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]] 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."
==Packaging and artwork==
[[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 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 times and the changing of the album experience.
==Instrumental Version==
[[Image:WTInst.jpg|thumb|''With Teeth Instrumental'' Artwork]][[Image:WTInst2.png|thumb|Alternative instrumentals artwork]]
''With Teeth Instrumental'' was made available on June 30, 2015, via [[Apple Music]]. It contained instrumentals of every track (except the international track "Home") with "All The Love In The World" being an alternate version.
It was released alongside ''[[The Fragile (halo)#The_Fragile_Instrumental|The Fragile Instrumental]]'', and was exclusive to the Apple Music platform. It is no longer available, but can be found on [[nindestruct.com]] in the music section.[http://nindestruct.com/music.html]
==TouringSupport Tour==
''For more information, see [[Live: With Teeth]]''
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.
