I always saw TDS as a concept album in the vein of his later, more recent soundtracks. It feels more coherently atmospheric in ways earlier albums didn’t, to me. With Teeth is actually where I think he went too far into “regular rock music” territory, with the result that it sounds generic and flat to me.
