  1. Quite frankly, this is the record that NIN should have released if Reznor had wanted to capitalize on the success of The Downward Spiral.
  2. While With Teeth satisfies in all the expected ways, not much has changed in Reznor's world.
  3. A tight, straightforward set of serviceable Nine Inch Nails songs, with brief moments of inspiration and lots of fan- and radio-friendly hooks.
  4. Uncut

  5. Trent Reznor has run out of ideas.
