I like With Teeth but need to listen to it a few more times before I rank it among the other NIN albums. I can say that I like The Downward Spiral more now 10 years after it came out. I guess living gives one the background to relate to the music.

With him winning that lawsuit, I'd look forward to the OOP Halo albums to finally go back into production, as the legalities surrounding them have now finally been sorted out.
Being a hardcore NIN fanatic though, I still say that 'The Fragile' is his best work to date. PHM get's highest honours due to it being the first album(2nd album as it followed Halo1 the 'Down in it' single).
Amazon has Halo2 Pretty Hate Machine at $25. But at least they have the samples so you can take a listen to them.

I also have to agree about 'Closer'. Yeah, I don't care for the song as it did, and still does, get entirely too much air play, and made me feel as though Trent had sold out for the big money... But it really is needed on 'The Downward Spiral' to help complete the album.
The funny thing is that 'The Fragile' is much the same way, but it wasn't actually Trent who did the arrangement on that album. He hired an outside programmer to do the line up, as he was having trouble with it.
