Kerrang Interview - Jan 2005
  TRENT REZNOR ON WHY NIN’S NEW ALBUM DOESN’T SOUND LIKE A  TAMPON COMMERCIAL… 
 
  How’s the album coming along? 
  “Actually we just finished it. We’re just burning CDs  now and trying to sit back and have some idea of what I’ve  done.” 
 
  How are you coping with the emptiness? 
  “Well actually now I’ve decided to fill my days with  rehearsing with my new band and preparing for the tour. From  endlessly contemplating everything in the studio to trying  to convert that into something exciting onstage… it’s a  real shift if mental energy. It’s exciting times.” 
 
  Why did you leave Nothing Studios for Sound City? 
  “I needed a change in my life. I’d been in New Orleans  for quite some time and the routine became a bit stale. I  was at a new place in my life and I was ready for a  change.” 
 
  What changed? 
  “I’d left my manager from the very beginning, so it was  time for renovation on all levels. Initially it was because  I’d asked Dave Grohl to play Drums on some stuff, so we  went to some of his favourite drum rooms in LA to do it. 
  Everything fell into place. We recorded most of the record  in New Orleans at Nothing Studios, but when it came time to  mix it we thought it might be interesting to try a different  place, It all worked out as if there was a master plan.” 
 
  Are those life changes reflected in the album? 
  “Very much so. This album started as a very theme-based  thing, but I didn’t want to go back to the lush  soundscapes of ‘The Fragile’, which was instrumental  soundtracks for movies that haven’t been filmed yet.  Thematically and lyrically the new album started very  conceptually, but as I started executing it it started  sounding more like good songs than a rock-opera. The songs  are brothers to each other, but it’s not a lyrical story.  It’s about waking up somewhere and you’re not sure if  you’re in a nightmare or not, and you’re not sure what  the deal is.” 
 
  Are there any track-titles yet?

“There’s 12 track-titles, but I’ll keep them under my  hat for now. The album is going to be called ‘With  Teeth’.” 
 
  Wasn’t it going to be called ‘Bleedthrough’? 
  “Yeah, but that just wasn’t the right word. It was  supposed to be about different layers of reality seeping  into the next, but I think some people were thinking about  blood or a tampon commercial. It started to grate on me over  time, and as the record shifted away from something  conceptual it seemed less and less right.” 
 
  It sounds like you were unhappy with ‘The Fragile’? 
  “Not at all. It was fun. It was a very rewarding artistic  experience, but this time around my thinking was more about  making a concise, song-based record. I wanted to hone my  songwriting skills with melodies and hooks. It’s not  necessarily that much more accessible, but it was a  different headspace.” 
 
  Dave Grohl would be the man to work with in that case. 
  “Yeah there was that, and the music was getting to be a  bit less layers of sound. A lot of it was more inspired by  more Killing Joke and Public Image… and we got away from  programmed drums so we needed someone to beat the shit out  of the drums, and Dave was into it right away. It was  Christmas in July.” 
 
  He was that good? 
  “He was great! One of the fears I have about bringing  other musicians in is in making sure the most important  thing is not the virtuosity of the instrument but the  mission of the song – the feeling being conveyed. Dave got  it right from the start.”

Expect more delays and nonsense bullshit from the bullshit  master Trent Reznor.  the albums done, there might be an  error in production, or he changed his mind about the  artwork, or decides to scrap everything and start all over  again. i'll be smiling when i've got the lp in my hands
