→With Teeth
In a pre-release article [http://www.theninhotline.net/news/archives/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 or simply didn't make the cut is so far unknown. It is speculated that it may have become "[[This Isn't The Place]]".
===PrePossible pre-release CDs===
In January 2020, two separate CDs 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, and a double CD (marked as being from late 2004) 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]]" from ''[[Not The Actual Events]]''.
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 five track CD was sold by Amoeba Records on eBay, and images of the other double CD showed up on imgur. None of the content from either of the two CDs has been shared.
==Definitive 2019 Edition Vinyl==
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." The album's final 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.
According to a statement on nin.com, Reznor stated that producer [[wp:Rick Rubin|Rick Rubin]] was Reznor's "mentor" and "source of inspiration" throughout the planning and writing process of the album. Reznor was also heavily inspired by the use of more analog electronic effects and instruments, specifically tape delay and modular synthesizers, stating that "computers, among other things, are ruining music these days. I hate the Pro Tooled sound of perfection and everything being 'fixed.' This record is most definitely 'un-fixed."During the recording of the album, Reznor listened to Gang Of Four, Public Image Ltd. and Pere Ubu.[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-apr-10-ca-reznor10-story.html]
