Title: Toothless and gummy
Review: I have been a huge Reznor fan since he came on the scene back in the 80s. When he did a re-release of "The Fragile," I didn't think he'd ever come out with a new album. "With Teeth" certainly is new, but it's not good. "Bite the Hand that Feeds" is the only "hit" that's going to come off of this CD or be played in the clubs. With Reznor, you can usually count on thought-provoking lyrics or at least some complex, thrashing tunes. "With Teeth" is without both of these. The music and lyrics are kind of light and lilty like those of, dare I say it, Elvis Costello or Billy Corigan. It says a lot, but it doesn't make a real point. Re-grouped groups like Velvet Revolver and Audioslave are at least staying closer to their indie-alt roots. If you want something to remind you of the good tunes from the late 80s, get Beck's new one.
Is the review positive or negative?
