[WITH _TEETH] appreciation and a question.

:Question: Question

I’m going back and listening to With Teeth and trying to see it in a different light. I’ve always felt like it was a mid album compared to the rest of NIN’s work but a mid NIN album is still way better than most artists’ best efforts so I’ve always liked With Teeth but have also always expected more from that album.

A friend tried to get me into NIN with this album and it didn’t work. Later I got into NIN through The Fragile.

I’m slowly gaining a new appreciation for this album. It won’t be my favorite album but I like it more with each listen instead of just choosing a couple of songs to listen to from it every now and then.

But….. I still don’t like the song With Teeth. I hate the “With-a Teeth-a!” Like nine inch nails on a chalkboard. And I feel that it’s an overall boring song.

So if you happen to like it I would like to know what you’re hearing and what it means to you. What keeps you coming back to the song? And what are your favorite moments from the album?

Where are my With-a Teeth-a people?!
