 - Finally, Some Ghosts!!!Yeah, Spooky Spirit Stuff! And who better to write about it than the NIN? A different title for this would be Selected Industrial Works (ala Aphex Twin), which isn't too surprising. Twinner did 1 1/2 songs for Further Down the Spriral, remember? There's quite a huge variety of styles on this album, and the more I listen, the more it grows on me! Just let your imagination conjure up some stuff! Alright, since the tracks aren't named, here's my humblish contribution for names. Of course, Ama*** doesn't get space bar... 1. Dream Engine ________________1. Klashroter 2. Astral Breeze________________2. Lightrider Flyby 3. Cycle Reply__________________3. Airshuffle 4. Amberjam __________________4. Ghostwalk (upper) 5. Time Spiral __________________5. Fuzcrunch 6. Lo-Rez Crystalflap ____________6. Shomble 7. Clert ________________________7. Kriket 8. Bim __________________________8. Plo 9. Slange ______________________9. Land Whale 10. Coat Rote __________________10. Delivery 11. Echo Plex (vant) _____________11. Ghostwalk (lower) 12. Prelude to Glen ______________12. Dim Yard 13. Glen _______________________13. Escathedral 14. Potch ______________________14. Dingy Shimmer 15. Cartoon Repair Shop__________15. Sonar Trawler 16. Ether Wheel __________________16. Dimensions 17. Welt_________________________17. Gear Fairy 18. Flange Dock __________________18. Lounge Door Rating:  - useless?...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 Rating: - Not NIN enoughI 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. Rating:  - Great if you are a die hard NIN fanThere 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. Rating:  - Just Great!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.
