I hope that once Watchmen is done they finally get around to approving the second wave of vinyl reissues.
With Teeth is 14 years old today. Fuck.
I'd like to imagine that it would segue perfectly into Over And Out.
I can still remember listening to With Teeth on Myspace before it's official release as if it happened yesterday. Upon first listen, it got me very psyched when I listened to All The Love In The World, especially as somebody that kept listening to Into The Void from The Fragile on repeat.
This will never change as well, but I will forever also remember my introduction to With Teeth from the trailer that played Beside You On Time. It gave me chills similar to the chills I got from listening to Eraser and Reptile, which was yet another reason for me to become stoked, as that was before I heard anything from With Teeth aside from The Hand That Feeds. There was also a great sense of relief from also just taking in the fact that Nine Inch Nails was going to live on.
Upon my very first impression of The Collector (Without also hearing it in full.), it also gave me a March Of The Pigs vibe. It was then, that I said to myself (Aside from seeing Closure and And All That Could Have Been. Live.), that I must see NIN live, which I thankfully did on the same exact year.
Sheesh! Takes me back.
I got into the band around 2000 or 2001, so at the time ... four/five years felt like such a long wait even if we had Still in between to keep us fed for "new Nine Inch Nails recordings." I was a junior in high school when With Teeth came out and I remember being on the old Echoing the Sound religiously checking for any new update or bit of images ... especially during the recording sessions with the webcam clips the year prior.
My neighbor up the street from my parent's house was on a LiveJournal blog that posted leaked albums and burned me a copy of the album because she knew I was such a mega fan. I remember people posting about it on EtS that it had leaked (which was I guess in the middle of April that year?), but my parent's still had dial up at the time and I had NO idea how to download leaked albums at the time.
When it was released, I bought the DualDisc version and couldn't stand it after it got scratched up so terrible. I got the album again in a standard CD version, haha.
Lots of great memories for Nine Inch Nails and me in 2005 as it was also the first time I saw them live later that year for the [WITH_TEETH] tour. I still highly adore that record.

I'll always adore With Teeth, it's my high school album, there is something special about it for me, it has this comforting yet depressive atmosphere to it. Very vulnerable and raw, yet, still comforting somehow. It feels like an end of a chapter.
The use of piano on theme album always intrigued me, it gives all of the songs its own identity.
At times, it's my favorite.
We really, really need that essay aTrent-ah was talking about that he’d include in the non-existent expanded edition of WT.
Is La Mer really the only track with a name in another language and lyrics in another language ?
I will fess up that I didn't appreciate WT when it came out. I grew up with PHM, Broken, and TDS was probably the most definitive album of my youth. The Fragile was something that was just overwhelming at that stage of my life. I didn't have time for it...I didn't sit down with it like I did the TDS (eventually I did and fell in love with the Fragile). With Teeth was this...he got sober album, which wasn't in line where my life was. I liked it, but it wasn't huge for me. But now it's one of my favs. Along with Year Zero. Both of those have aged so well.
“Corona radiata” = Latin origin.

Fuck I just noticed a very slight and high-pitched melody in the left speaker in Burning Bright at 2:38 repeating during this whole verse before the following bridge. How did it take so long for me to hear this.
It’s an ENGLISH word if we changed it to an English form. Restaurant is a good example. Most French is from Latin, too. Until they revised it to make it truly French, e.g. Latin Restaurare became Old French Restorer became French Restaurer became French Restaurant. Corona Radiata has not changed one bit except for the removal of a diacritical mark. It’s INTENTIONALLY Latin because it’s used in a taxonomic and medical context.
Often, medicine uses a Latin or Greek prefix and combines it with (preferably same language) suffix to create an English word for a disease. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medi...ogy#Morphology
This is so nerdy <3

Still remember going to the listening party at the Metro in Chicago. Was weird, people standing around in a club listening to an album for the first time. (Except some of us on ETS had already heard leaks by then.)
Anybody else keeping up with The Twilight Zone? The latest episode (Six Degrees of Freedom) ended up reminding me a lot of some of the imagery conjured by YZ (specifically The Warning, Zero Sum), as well as “The Lovers.” I can’t say much without giving away the episode, but you can probably piece it together if (hah, “if”) you’re familiar with the lyrics of those songs.
It seems I can't play HLAH on Spotify... am I the only one having this problem? The rest of PHM plays just fine
Search for "Head Like a Hole (Album Version)" or "Head Like a Hole (Remastered)", the rights holders to the two versions may have had to relabel their tracks so they'll be kept separate.
In other streaming-related thoughts, CD3 of the "We're In This Together" single is on Tidal. Hooray, "Complications of the Flesh" and the full-length edit of "The Perfect Drug"!

Watching the Wax Trax documentary. Trent shows up a couple times.
Luc Van Acker comes across pretty cunty especially on the bonus disc.
One thing is for sure—we all get old.
