Research - 'With Teeth' Digipak

'With Teeth' (stylized as [WITH_TEETH]) is the fourth studio album by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails.

I think that the Digipak album art for 'With Teeth' by Nine Inch Nails nicely captures the genre of the music on the album and the music that the band normally make. The cover shows the band logo very largely across the top but nowhere on the cover does it say Nine Inch Nails; this has been done because the logo is very well recognised by their fans and people in general. On the cover their is the Parental Advisory tag, this is there to indicate that the album contains explicit content. On the front of this digipak there are two stickers; one stating that there are 15 new songs on the album along with 2 bonus tracks on the digipak vertsion only, and the other sticker simply shows that this is the special edition version of the album.
The front folds away to the left like a book revealing the track list on the inside of the cover and a weird, smeared looking, glitchy image of something on the other cover. 
The picture behind the track list continues on carries on through all three panels when the digipak is fully opened, stood infront of the image, in the middle panel, is Trent Reznor who is like partly faded away in a sort of glitch art effect. On the right panel is the housing for the disk and the background image is carried on behind it.
 The disk has a similar stripy effect running across it to the background of the panels. The disk reads 'NINE_INCH_NAILS: [WITH_TEETH]' across the top, with all the 'N's backwards. The disk also says 'HALO_19' on it, this means that it is the 19th CD that Nine Inch Nails have released. On the disk, in the bottom right, are the record labels, distribution details and copyright details etc.
Here is the back/outside of the digipak when it is fully opened out, on the back of the middle panel, in the bottom left corner, we can again see the record label, copyright and distribution details. We can also see the whole of the cover picture extended across the three panels. In the bottom right corner of the back (middle) panel is the Barcode; this is obviously there on the outside (when closed) of the digipak so it can be scanned by shop cashiers when the album is being bought.
