| | And All That Could Have Been - Rolling Stone Jan '02 |
 | | So, And All That Could Have Been, NIN's first live album, announces itself in its very title as a disappointment. |
 | | The claustrophobic focus of his studio recordings yields in performance to the overwhelming force of his band- Robin Finck and Reznor himself on guitars and keyboards, Danny Lohner on bass and keyboards, Charlie Clouser on keyboards and theremin, and Jerome Dillon on drums. |
 | | All the songs are quiet, lyrical and deeply unsettling- persuasive proof, if any is even needed at this point, of the musicality that underlies Reznor's most ear-shattering work, and of his ability to disturb even at his moments of greatest beauty. |
