I realized that the last couple of records were written in the studio. So the writing and production and arrangement phase all kind of took place at the same time, bypassing having demos. Songs would start sometimes with a soundscape, sometimes a visual idea, sometimes a drumbeat, sometimes a cool effect, sometimes a chord change. But, usually, the setting was created first, and then a song kind of got wedged in there later on. And this time around, I went about it pretty much the opposite way. I set up a kind of demo room out in Los Angeles and moved out here from New Orleans, really just for a change of pace. I wanted to set up a place where I didn’t have too many options, and I wanted to do demos this time around.[https://www.theninhotline.com/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=55]</blockquote>
The album is also notable for the fact that several tracks ("All The Love In The World", "You Know What You Are?", "The Collector", "Every Day Is Exactly The Same", "Getting Smaller", "Sunspots", "The Line Begins To Blur", and non-album track "Non-Entity") feature [[Dave Grohl]] on drums. In a [[Access#2004_07_13|post]] to the Access section of nin.com, Reznor stated that Grohl had drummed on fifteen tracks, and it is not known why he only features on a total of eight tracks. Reznor had been wanting a Dave Grohl-esque drum sound during the initial stages of recording, and realized it would make more sense to simply ask Grohl if he would do the drumming.[https://www.loudersound.com/features/nin-foo-fighters-with-teeth-trent-reznor-dave-grohl]While there were no proper physical liner notes for ''With Teeth'', Grohl's drum credits appeared on the PDF file that was released alongside the album, as well as on nin.com at the time of the album's release.
