Nine Inch Nails: And All That Could Have Been - Live (2002)

As the man who put industrial music on the pop map, nine inch nails mastermind Trent Reznor has few peers when it comes to conjuring the darkest sides and sounds. Creatively restless, he progressed from his synth-damaged debut, Pretty Hate Machine, through Broken, a metallic blast of anger, to his varied and disturbing masterwork The Downward Spiral and the underrated, finely detailed sprawl of The Fragile. Interestingly, NIN's studio-crafted perfection has always blossomed fully in live performance. But And All That Could Have Been proves beyond a doubt the band's astounding live capabilities, its sweat-soaked energy coupling with the work of renowned video artist Bill Viola, whose astonishing experimental loops are projected onto multiple screens. Digitally recorded during various stops on the "Fragility v2.0" tour, And All That Could Have Been sports 18 songs from across NIN's body of work. Hits like the anthemic "Head like a Hole" and the controversial "Closer" are included, as are fan favorites such as "Wish" and "Hurt." The show is lease-threatening, but as is always the case with Reznor the sonic blast is a rich tapestry as opposed to a mindless din. DVD viewers can choose from multiple camera angles and activate the thoughtful audio commentary track, wherein Viola and others discuss the craft behind the tour, which Rolling Stone magazine readers picked as 2000's best.
