While Nine Inch Nails are often hailed for their live shows, the praise is usually focused less on the music and more on Trent Reznor's sheer intensity and his willingness to mount a serious spectacle. This 16-song document of NIN's sold-out "Fragility v2.0" 2000 U.S. tour should silence the skeptics. And All That Could Have Been captures the aforementioned elements, but more important, it shows a heart and immediacy not usually associated with Reznor's Mac-happy sound. There's abundant negative energy in the opening salvo of "Terrible Lie" (cleaved by a jarring Robin Finck guitar solo), "March of the Pigs," and "Piggy." Reznor and company pull a sonic switcheroo on the back-to-back gut-spillers "The Frail" and "The Wretched." In contrast to their earliest performances, NIN take more chances in concert, twisting and stretching familiar songs. While not altered to the point of indulgence, "Head like a Hole" and "Closer" are punctuated with moments that could make listeners stop banging their heads long enough to scratch them for a moment. And All That Could Have Been isn't Trent Reznor Unplugged -- far from it -- but it is, at last, Trent Reznor Exposed.

A deluxe version with bonus disc is also available. David Sprague

All Music Guide

Most of the songs found on All That Could Have Been are similar to the album versions found on The Fragile, with rougher vocals and crowd noise to change things up. The few songs from Pretty Hate Machine ("Terrible Lie," "Sin," and "Head Like a Hole") get the best treatment, changed around to include better guitar work and more experimental samples that compliment the songs nicely. Nine Inch Nails are a powerful live force, and fans of Trent Reznor may enjoy this live album very much. Bradley Torreano

Hyperactive industrial quintet as much fun to hear as to watch.
