My only real problem with THTF is that it's become such a predictable sign that the main set is almost over at live shows, and it's typically the only song used to represent With Teeth, an album that's been fairly neglected live ever since they came back from Wave Goodbye save for special occasions. I've been to 5 shows and have still never heard anything other than Hand That Feeds from it, it's insane. It gets the crowd going, everybody casual or diehard (or even oblivious at a festival) knows it and can sing along and I get that for Trent, it represents proof that he had it in him to still connect with audiences post-sobriety, so it's got to be great, but it's a shame when it feels like that's the only song from With Teeth that gets a lot of live love.
Less Than is the best "radio-friendly" NIN song since Head Like a Hole. It hits all the poppier notes and tropes of that side of NIN from the last thirteen years but manages to be interesting, exciting and propulsive all the way to the very end (whereas a song like Came Back Haunted starts out strong as hell, is ripping with atmosphere, and then wears itself out in the end by repeating the chorus way too many times). I always thought I didn't care for radio NIN as much but that song is proof there's a legitimate place for it amongst the other, weirder stuff, and a song like The Lovers is way better by immediately following something that digestible.
I think Not So Pretty Now is totally fine and don't know why it draws so much angst from people when it doesn't take up any space on any studio albums and always came off as a way to keep the energy up during live sets.
I think Bad Witch is going to be the most divisive thing he's done this century among fans and I think it'll be fantastically different from what came before it and am not looking forward to the amount of people that will write it off as being bad right off the bat rather than giving it some time to process and contextualize. The instant reaction culture of hard opinions has been a terrible thing for art in general and I hate having the feeling that it's going to really impact how a lot of fans approach BW.
