With Teeth

邀集Foo Fighters主唱Dave Grohl、Marilyn Manson贝斯手Twiggy Ramirez、冠军超级组合A Perfect Circle贝斯手Jeordie White等顶级客席乐手

原名Bleedthrough的【With Teeth】，终在6年的酝酿后问世，这回全新客席乐手阵容，绝对是让乐迷大为惊艳的组合，包含Foo Fighters的主唱Dave Grohl，前来重现Nirvana时期的精湛鼓技、Marilyn Manson中备受欢迎的贝斯手Twiggy Ramirez、冠军超级组合A Perfect Circle的贝斯手Jeordie White、前硬蕊朋克乐团Icarus Line的吉他好手Aaron North等战将！率先在摇滚榜前十大窜升的首推曲“The Hand That Feeds”，踩著破碎的电化音符，扭曲吉他噪音与贝斯的双双齐放，长久等候Trent的狂妄不羁嗓音，也毫不掩饰的完全释放。

International pressing of their 2005 album features one bonus track, 'Home'. Five years is a long time by most people's standards, but when such a period passes between albums by Nine Inch Nails, the turbulent electro-noir behemoth conducted by Trent Reznor, it's par for an increasingly elaborate course. With Teeth follows a period of intense self-investigation, a psychological shelf-clearing. It's an album that startles with its clarity, with its renewed vigour. A catalogue of grievances perhaps, like all his records, but possessed with more of a will to fight back than any other Nine Inch Nails release to date. Interscope. 2005.

　　

对于没听过NIN专辑的人来说，《With Teeth》肯定是排在专辑推荐名单之后，但对于喜欢九寸钉的我来说，在夜深人静郁躁之时，或是在麻木疲惫人山人海的地铁上，有时你需要Trent Reznor这样的灵魂与你共振，你需要他唱着<Every Day is Exactly the Same>来替你宣泄关于生存的焦虑以及对于世俗成见的愤怒。

《With Teeth》是在Trent Reznor经历了酒精药物上瘾以及一系列精神折磨后制作的，我的理解是，Reznor在制作这张专辑时有刻意避免让专辑过于概念化，我想对于他来讲，《With Teeth》起到的作用更多是catharsis情绪宣泄的作用。
