Trent Reznor has always been a one-trick-pony, but it's a damn good trick: sunny melodies filtered through ferocious electronics. Unfortunately, the trick's impact was often watered down by a tendency toward petulance and self-absorption. Still, almost six years after NIN's last release, The Fragile, the trick itself has lost none of its Teen-Beat-from-hell appeal. With Teeth blisters from the start with "All the Love in the World," and tracks like "The Collector" take full advantage of Dave Grohl's sledgehammer drumming. Reznor stretches occasionally, trying out different tactics, from crunchy, overtly commercial rave-ups ("The Hand That Feeds") to borderline New Wave ("Only"). But Teeth isn't about stretching. It's about doing the same trick, only better, with less clutter and more bite. By neatly distilling the sparseness of Pretty Hate Machine with Downward Sprial-style density, it ends up being the most focused record in the NIN catalog. –Matthew Cooke

With Teeth reviews by customers
 With(out)_Substance
When NIN released this cd, i was super excited, having fallen in love with TDS...But when I bought it, I couldn't help but feel like I'd been ripped off...There's a weird thing with this cd. It feels like the songs are more like demos from the band, not fully finished tracks. Another main problem with the cd is the way some of the tracks seem to be using a formula now. The cd didn't come with any liner notes, but if you've heard 2 or more of their cd's, you won't need any. You'll probably be able to just guess what he's gonna say next. It feels like he sold out on some songs. But it isn't all bad. All the love in the world, You know what you are, Hand that feeds, Only, Everyday is exactly the same, and right where it belongs are good, (and the bonus Home), but that's less than half of the songs, and the album is too short...It just doesn't feel like enough for a six year wait...
 With Teeth
Absolutely killer. This isn't one of those albums with a couple of good tracks like the fragile. Every song on the album grows on you fast.
A Sad & Disappointing Attempt from one of the Best
I'm such a NIN fan, it's taken me this long to write this review. Not only does this CD NOT grow on you the more times you hear it... it actually gets worse with each listening!
I'm a NIN "Completist" & have spent over $2k on my collection. When I 1st listened to this album, I was absolutely shocked! 1 Magazine review said "it's the most mainstream NIN album to date" and that's pretty accurate. The songs on the album that are actually woth listening to... sound like Trent was doing everything possible to make sure they'd be worthy of POP Radio Stations, rather than Rock Stations! And, the other songs, well, worse than Filler Tracks.
As if that weren't bad enough (yes, it gets worse)... almost none of this album even resembles NIN music. There's little to no synths in a lot of the songs, the guitars & basses are so heavy & so intermingled - you can't even make out a lot of the tunes --- it just sounds like garbled noise --- not music, let alone NIN quality music. Worse still, it's literally ALL OVER THE PLACE in most of the songs... with tremendous & abrupt halts & reverses in tempo & style (grinding guitar noise 3 min. into a song, then in a split second it's nothing but slow & quiet piano) -- and the Singing is the same.
Because I'm such a fan... I reluctantly held my tongue this long while... but after listening to the album again a couple days ago (after listening to the others) I just couldn't take it any longer & had to speak up!!
IF you're a completionist like me, not only do you have to buy this album, but undoubtedly, you have at least 3 different versions (along w/ all the singles, promos, etc.) BUT, if you're NOT - stay far, far away from this album... and for the most part, stay away from "The Fragile" too... unless you like the softer side of Industrial (that CD is mostly crap too -- but still 100 times better than this... and at least has it's moments!) Stick w/ the Classics - Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, Downward Spiral.
Since I just mentioned "The Fragile" -- am I the only one who's noticed the STEADY DECLINE of NIN over the past decade?? Many people called that album his "Masterpiece" or "Musical Masterpiece" -- well, maybe musically it was... but there's more to NIN music than just the music... LYRICS are a Major part as well... and that Album was lacking in direction as well (still nowhere near as bad as With Teeth by any means)
I just don't get it... NIN Live - is a magical thing... they even managed to take the songs from The Fragile & bumb them up a notch... for some reason, they just can't capture that magic in the Studio anymore... and now, they can't even write anymore. Hopefully this was just some kind of "Experimental Album" -- and they'll get back to, well, being & sounding like them... next time...... we can only hope that is!
Please, for the love of God - don't let them become the next Metallica!!!
