→Outtakes
The non-album tracks from this era are "[[Non-Entity]]" and "[[Not So Pretty Now]]." During a chat with fans in [[The Spiral]], Reznor stated that these songs were outtakes from the ''With Teeth'' sessions, and studio recordings of them might one day surface. On March 20, 2009, Reznor released the long-awaited studio versions as part of the ''[[NINJA 2009 Summer Tour EP]]'' via ninja2009.com.
On a PDF poster (containing lyrics and credits) posted to [[Nin.com/with teeth|the ''With Teeth'' site]] and later made physically available to members of The Spiral as part of the welcome package, several extra songs were alluded to but not featured on the album. All of these songs contained lyrics in some form, though they were not entirely legible. These songs are:"[[Message To No One]]", "[[The Warning (With Teeth song)|The Warning]]", and "[[The Life You Didn't Lead]]".
A song with the title "[[The Warning (Year Zero song)|The Warning]]" is on ''[[Year Zero]]''. When the 2019 Definitive Edition vinyl of ''With Teeth'' was released, the aforementioned poster was re-created as part of the packaging. Lyrics to "The Warning" were made legible and it was finally revealed that the track from ''Year Zero'' has its origins in the track from the ''With Teeth'' sessions.
===Possible pre-release CDs===
In January 2020, two separate CDs surfaced that purported to contain songs from ''With Teeth'' in various states of completion, as well as outtakes that had not previously been mentioned. The first CD was labeled "With Teeth Tentative Sequence 12.23.04" and had five tracks that were all released on the final album in some form. The second was a double CD labeled "With Teeth Unfinished 11.30.04" containing all of the album tracks (some finished, some in demo form) and several demoed outtakes on disc two. The tentative sequence CD was listed on eBay by Amoeba Records, and the double CD was posted to a NIN collecting group on Facebook.[https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/threads/211-The-Auction-Thread-Ebay-Discogs-etc/page82?p=480625#post480625][https://www.ebay.com/itm/202874890707?_trksid=p2471758.m4703][https://www.facebook.com/groups/757462984432365?_rdr] The demo versions of "Getting Smaller" and "Right Where It Belongs" have the working titles of "Getting Smaller Every Day" and "Cages". This correlates with pre-release info given out by early review articles.[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/display/2]
The previously unknown outtakes were named "Cover It Up", "Good Day", and "The End". "Cover It Up" was also reported to be an early version of "[[The Idea Of You]]". Tracks claiming to be from the five-track CD were posted to archive.org the same month as the eBay sale, but were found to be [[Hoaxes_and_jokes#With_Teeth_.22Tentative_Sequence.22_CD_upload|elaborate fakes]]. Both CDs were brought to the attention of [[Rob Sheridan]], who stated on Twitter that the five-track CD "appears to be one of the ones I made (printing out on a home printer on cut-out CD insert template paper) that we sent out to record industry people and potential collaborators."
