Editorial Review:
The biggest difference between a kick-ass studio album and a kick-ass live album? Intensity. The live album And All That Could Have Been, recorded during Nine Inch Nails' Fragility 2.0 U.S. tour in 2000, provides that trait in abundance. It helps that Trent Reznor has a band, instead of just a battery of keyboards, to help him work through 16 tracks of the raging yet surprisingly listenable musical vitriol that made him a star. The live musicians, who allow him some freedom to play with tempo, help kick "Closer" up a notch and lend some atmospheric weight to a slow version of "The Frail." The band rips into older material with gusto; Reznor sounds just as pissed off performing "Head Like a Hole" as he did in 1989. The CD closes with "Hurt," which might seem like an odd choice, but somehow, after everything that's come before, it's like the denouement of a tragedy. While a CD can only capture a piece of NIN's onstage energy, their first live album is an intense, sometimes overwhelming recording, further vindication of NIN's continuing popularity and influence. --Genevieve Williams

And All That Could Have Been [Deluxe Limited Edition] Reviews:
Great bonus disc...
2008-06-05 - Now I was at many of these shows on this tour, and really, as a live album, not the greatest. It is just sort of live versions, not much that really adds to the experience. I love it when live albums have a whole show, front to back, and with all of the banter by the bands. This does not have much of that, but is still a decent collection of live performances, but the real treasure here is the bonus disc...

If you are a NIN fan, you MUST have this bonus disc. Luckily, they finally re released this bonus disc as the cd "Still" and that is awesome. It has a few great simple piano/vocal versions of songs on it as well as some tunes that you will not find anywhere else.

A good live album with a bonus CD
2007-11-13 - And All That Could Have Been is a live disc with performances from Nine Inch Nails' "Fragility v2.0" tour. During the performance on the CD, Trent Reznor has very little stage banter, which helps the songs segue together rather smoothly. Around the middle of the disc, there's a slower section featuring "The Great Below" and "The Mark Has Been Made"; this kind of bogs down this part of the CD (however, this was the way the performance was, so it's nice to see that the setlist was left intact when the disc was put together). One of my main complaints is that the disc ends rather abrutply, rather than letting the audience's cheering fade out.

This version of the album comes with a bonus CD, still (which is probably the closest thing you'll ever see to an "acoustic" Nine Inch Nails disc). "Something I Can Never Have," which is almost a minute longer on this disc, features a more laid-back arrangement (you only hear a piano and Trent's vocals). Besides reworked versions of some older songs, there are also four new songs on it: "Adrift and at Peace," "Gone, Still," "And All That Could Have Been," and "The Persistence of Loss."

Overall, they are both strong discs, and should be in a Nine Inch Nails collection. However, Still may be a little too "mellow" for some Nine Inch Nails fans.

A Superb Album In a Sea of Remixes
2007-04-03 - This halo stacks right up against a full length album. As many of the reviews I read suggested, I agree, it is truly the 2nd disc (the studio takes), still. that will capture your attention. "Adrift and at Peace" is reminiscent of "La Mer" from the fragile, a nice extension. "gone, still" another instrumental that stands out. But the final three tracks will capture you. The title track is lyrically charged emotion with minimalist layering that fits perfectly, a real throw back to _The Downward Spiral_ era. "The Persistence of Loss" is a lonely segue into perhaps the most depressing sound-scape ever conceived... "leaving hope". Trent served his publishing title well with a piece that defines melancholy. Again, for me it's a fresh reminder of how incredible the man who composed _The Downward Spiral_ truly is.

Great Compilation
2007-02-24 - I have been a fan for over a decade and this album is a must have. Fantastic from start to finish. Very similar to a concert playlist.

Masterpiece
2006-08-21 - not a whole lot to say really, the pure contrast between both CDs included in this deal covers the whole spectrum of sound, whether hard and in your face like 'star**ckers inc.'(found on the first CD) all the way to the melodic and beautiful version of 'something i can never have'(found on the second CD) it has something for everybody. and as a fan for many years this CD set leaves you feeling complete and at peace once you hear it all, it truly is a masterpiece
