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.”

Dave Grohl quote from the BBC- "the new QOTSA and Nine inch
nails Track are unbelievable"

my curiousity in this album is piqued

well 'still' was very good, but the new 10th aniversary
downward spiral was...a little too much

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

but the question remains:
will it be good? as in downward spiral / pretty hate machine
good or just the fragile good?
