NIN - With Teeth
I bought the new Nine Inch Nails album last friday and I have been listening to it ever since. Fintan has got there first with the review and he is pretty much on the ball. However, I thought I would add my own impressions.
There is one outstanding thing about the album; there is much less production than previous NIN albums. There is less distortion, less mucking about with perceived distance, and less stereo effects. This is an album that five guys can play live on stage. In fact, NIN are doing just that. Unfortunately, there are no Irish dates, and all the UK dates are sold out. Oh well! Next time.
As regards the tracks, I have completely different favourites to Fintan. My favourites are Right Where It Belongs and Every Day Is Exactly The Same. These are complex tracks with nihilistic lyrics, the sort of thing that I enjoy. I am particularly happy, as there are two versions of Right Where It Belongs on my CD. Sunspots and Love Is Not Enough are worthy additions too. Mopey nihilist, me? Not at all. ;-)
