14 years after it was released, Nine Inch Nails are set to reissue With Teeth on vinyl for the first time, announcing the “definitive version” recently.

In May of 2005, Nine Inch Nails released their fourth studio album, the exciting With Teeth. Coming six years after 1999’s The Fragile, the album was heavily anticipated, and was the first official release from the group since And All That Could Have Been three years earlier.

Preceded by a worrying period of alcohol and substance abuse, Trent Reznor began to compose the album following time spent in a rehabilitation clinic, eventually releasing it in 2005.

Despite the record spawning three singles, topping the US charts, and widely being considered one of the band’s best albums of the decade, With Teeth was released on both CD and vinyl, with the latter being limited to just a single pressing.

Now, after years of fans having paid exorbitant amounts of money for a copy on the secondary market, Trent Reznor has revealed that the classic record is now set to receive the reissue treatment.

“At long last, the definitive version of With Teeth, meticulously prepared by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and NIN art director John Crawford,” the band’s website notes.

“Remastered in 2019 on 180-gram vinyl,” the reissue also featured “lots of details attended to that you may never notice but we care about.”

As with the original vinyl version, the tracklist has been altered ever-so slightly, with the song ‘Home’ (featured on non-American versions of the album) being shifted from its place at the end of the record to directly after the song ‘Sunspots’.

Unfortunately, the songs featured on the Japanese edition of the album (including the ‘Ruff Mix’ of ‘The Hand That Feeds’, and a phenomenal second version of ‘Right Where It Belongs’) have been left off.

Meanwhile, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have also unveiled an extended version of their Bird Box soundtrack, having teased a “more expansive (read: more self-indulgent) physical-only offering” earlier this year.

Featuring “extended compositions and explorations created during the Bird Box scoring sessions,” the four-record set contains “ver two hours of music that began recording in Los Angeles and was completed in various hotel rooms before and after Nine Inch Nails’ performances during the 2018 Cold, Black, & Infinite US tour.”

“This intense pace coupled with the pressures of nightly performances began to bleed through into the work,” Reznor explained. “What started as a score for a film began to mutate and expand into something else far beyond what you saw on the screen.”

Pre-Orders for Both With Teeth and the extended Bird Box soundtrack are available now.
