With Teeth - My new favorite album since Nine Inch Nails last outing, The Fragile, which actually hasn't left my CD changer since 1999. In fact, I had to buy two copies of that epic masterpiece since I wore the first one out a few years back. Trent's new opus is more straightforward, nary a sight of instrumentals, but just as powerful and sonically compelling as anything he's ever done. Even when he cuts it back, streamlines himself, he's still on a whole other level most artists can only hope to aspire to. In fact, there's only two musicians I would consider calling geniuses with Reznor being one and Prince being the other. I know, you probably think I'm crazy, I'll give you eclectic possibly, but not crazy. If you disagree then dig up your copy of Purple Rain on CD or VHS (you know you own one or somebody that does) and skip straight ahead to Darling Nikki. Perfect.

Then check out NIN's With Teeth. Favorite tracks are Only and Sunspots along with All the Love in the World, The Hand That Feeds and Love is Not Enough. Great music to get lost in while in drawing Sith...
