"And All That Could Have Been"

Rating 98%

reviewed by Charlie O'

Wow, what a package. Trent Reznor knows what his fans want, and he gives it to them. This double live CD was recorded on his recent "Fragility 2.0" tour across the world, and the sound quality is excellent throughout.

From the opening thumps of "Terrible Lie" right through to the end of "Hurt" this is one hell of a live CD. The performance is spot on. Highlights are an vicious "Head Like A Hole" and a violent "Starfuckers Inc", though there isn't a minger amongst them.

Moving on to the second CD "Still" this contains nine tracks of previously unreleased music, including selected tracks recorded live in a deconstructed fashion, as well as five new songs.
Tracklisting:

Terrible Lie
Sin
March Of The Pigs
Piggy
The Frail
The Wretched
Gave Up
The Great Below
The Mark Has Been Made
Wish
Suck
Closer
Head Like A Hole
The Day The World Went Away
Starfuckers, Inc.

STILL:

Adrift And At Peace (new)
The Fragile
The Becoming
Gone, Still (new)
The Day The World Went Away

It costs a whopping £20 for the double set, but it is also available as a single CD, omitting "Still" CD thus saving you £6. But don't get it. Get the full Monty.
