 useless?... July 25, 2008
i was surprized when i bought this cd, this is the first negative review I've ever had to write about a nine inch nails cd.
i have loved all of nine inch nails' instrumentals so i figured it would be awsome.
unfortunetly it wasnt, ghosts is a creative work, but for all intensive purposes, its useless.
i expected a long, flowing, beautiful collection of insturmentals, what ghosts is is 36 compleatly different tracks that flow as smoothly as motor boat on a gravel road.
what the other reviewers said is correct, individualy most of these tracks are unique and enjoyable, but trying to memorize what each different ghost track sounds like and listen to them seporatly is almost not worth the trouble.
right now i just listen to the upbeat tracks while playing videogames, im not sure what to do with the rest of the songs though.
I have high hopes for the next ghosts album, i just hope it will flow a little better.
better luck next time trent
A long string of random music July 5, 2008

I tried "Ghosts I-IV" and found I really couldn't get into it, because for me, one track was identical to every other other track, and every other track was the same as every other other track, and with no titles or lyrics or any sort of distinction beyond "Ghost I" and so on. The songs were, on the whole, completely unremarkable on their own.
I haven't given up on the album but thus far it just seems to be one long, four or five or however many hour, jam session with separations in tracks given sometimes at random. Maybe it works for Jazz and some Rock, but I never liked Jazz, and I have a very hit and miss relationship with many musical genres.
Maybe this was a release to recuperate from giving away the actual album "The Slip" away for free, by recording a random jam session and trying to sell it without any hype so as to surprise fans into buying it without realizing they're not buying an actual album but one big jam session where one track is as discardable as another.
And please, no comments from NIN fans saying I'm not a "real" fan or don't know what I'm talking about or can't appreciate NIN's artistic style. I absolutely loved "The Fragile" and "The Downward Spiral" and thought they were the perfect blend of art and music. But it seems with this album and every other NIN release as of late that ART is starting to become more of a priority than MUSIC, most heavily displayed by Year Zero, where the "art" of electronic noises took the place of music, and the attempt at "art" became a pretentious smug excuse to not bother to play any real instruments for more than a cameo appearance alongside the warped static.
Not NIN enough July 2, 2008

I appreciate what Trent tried to do by avoiding the record labels, but this is lacking. It is essentially a collection of noise and single riffs. Not much in the way of actual songs. Half of the tracks are little more than noise that don't lead anywhere. Might be good for background music. The next album "The Slip" is much better.
Great if you are a die hard NIN fan June 28, 2008
There are 36 tracks. No lyrics. A handful of the songs are really amazing. The others are slow and methodical but still have the unique trent reznor sound. Definitely worth it if you already like reznor's style. Otherwise, you might be disappointed.
 Just Great! June 27, 2008

People ripped into 'With Teeth,' and its not half as bad as most of the reviews make it out to be. If it takes 5 years to make anything, take 5 years! Atleast it will be real! Atleast, the emotion sensed from the work will be life-like, whether sad or happy or whatever! This sounds like it was just meshed together for the hell of it. There's pictures of equipment here like "this is it guys, here's where it happens." I really don't know what this was suppose to be (this, or the last 2 'conceptions'). I think 'The Slip' is going to flow in the same direction.
