Trent said this about the new album that he has coming up: Will it be a heavy album? "It's not heavy in any kind of metal tyoe sense, I'd say a big inspiration sonically would be early Public Enemy records, a collage of sound type of thing, not heavy in a metal guitar kind of way." On 'The Downward Spiral' and 'The Fragile' you blended together an extreme amount of disparate sounds and layers - is this moving further in that direction? "Well Alan Moulder (long-time collaborator) was stunned when he first heard it. Normally a Pro-Tools session has alot of tracks and this time he was like 'You're kidding me, it's only this much stuff?'. The end result has a bit of racket to it, it's much more improvisational, less refined. With this record i feel alot less concerned about what people think about it - espcially the dying record industry. I couldn't care less about that right now." I can not wait! This sounds like the new album is going to be heavier and harder than With Teeth!!!

So excited. I think The Fragile is my least favorite album and I still love that album. I'm probably more excited about gong to see them on tour again!

I thought with teeth was more passive than compared to some of his older works. But I still loved it. Thanks for posting this info though, I tend to get out-of-the-loop with things. But i've been a fan on NIN since I was 11. So I'm really eager to hear anything new from NIN ^.^

With Teeth was hard? Heh. You should listen to Broken. :)
