Nine Inch Nails (abbreviated NIN; stylized as NIИ) is an American industrial rock band, founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio. As its main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist, Reznor is the only official member of the group and remains solely responsible for its direction.[3] Nine Inch Nails' music straddles a wide range of genres.

And All That Could Have Been is a double album released by Nine Inch Nails in 2002. The live album contains music recorded during the Fragility v2.0 US tour in 2000; Disc 1 is a live album of (most of) their normal set list of the time, while Disc 2 contains a studio album titled Still containing "deconstructed" versions of previous NIN songs and some new material.
The Live disc is a "loud" recording of performances from the Fragility 2.0 tour. Without introduction, it begins immediately with "Terrible Lie".
The songs are arranged differently from their studio versions.
Still contains subdued renditions of older songs and five new songs.According to the NIN website, four of the songs were "recorded live in a deconstructed fashion."Instruments include piano, acoustic guitar, electric piano, or other "real" instruments backed by computer-generated synth textures.
Reznor said that "Adrift and At Peace" is the conclusion of "La Mer" from The Fragile. Some of the tracks off Still are evolutions of rejected themes that were originally written for Mark Romanek's One Hour Photo. "Leaving Hope" is also the name under which Reznor has published music since the beginning of his songwriting career. Reznor later allowed "Leaving Hope" to be used in a public service announcement for Hurricane Katrina disaster relief.
Videos for the performances of "Something I Can Never Have", "Gone, Still" (with Jerome Dillon), and "The Becoming" (with Dillon and Danny Lohner) were published on the official NIN website.
The band also performed an intimate acoustic set at the Chicago Recording Company during the Fragility 2.0 tour, which is available online and on bootleg CD, as The CRC Sessions; it includes arrangements of "Something I Can Never Have" and "The Day the World Went Away" that prefigure their Still recordings, as well as two versions of "Hurt" and full band performances of "The Fragile", "Even Deeper", and "The Big Come Down".

"Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D" is a remix album from Nine Inch Nails. It Includes tracks from the 2007 CD "Year Zero". It includes such remixers as Saul Williams, Ladytron, The Faint and The Knife.
Slightly half a year after the release of "Year Zero," (2007) Trent Reznor has released an album of remixes for that album.
"Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D" is a little different from past NIN remix albums in that several other artists were brought in to remix individual songs. Each artist, such as Ladytron, the Faint, Saul Williams, Stephen Morris & Gillian Gilbert etc, put their own unique spin on the songs, so each track sounds pretty unique from the one that preceded it, yet everything works and it makes for a very interesting listen. The result is a remix album that sounds like a bunch of artists screwed around with "Year Zero," warped it, and then put it back together. Because several different artists stylized each song uniquely, "Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D" is always taking twists and turns, and one never knows where one will wind up. And while some remix songs are rather tedious, every track on "Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D" is thoroughly engrossing, and I say that as someone who generally doesn't like remixes.

Track List

01. "Gunshots by Computer" (Saul Williams) - 1:43
02. "The Great Destroyer" (Modwheelmood) - 4:19
03. "My Violent Heart" (Pirate Robot Midget) - 2:34
04. "The Beginning of the End" (Ladytron) - 4:20
05. "Survivalism" (Survivalism_Tardusted) (Saul Williams) - 4:19
06. "Capital G" (Capital G: Phones 666 Revolutions) (Phones) - 7:26
07. "Vessel" (Bill Laswell) - 6:10
08. "The Warning" (The Warning: Real World Remix) (Stefan Goodchild feat. Doudou N'Diaye Rose) - 3:43
09. "Meet Your Master" (The Faint) - 3:35
10. "God Given" (Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert) - 4:27
11. "Me, I'm Not" (Olof Dreijer) - 14:00
12. "Another Version of the Truth" (Kronos Quartet and Enrique Gonzalez Müller) - 4:25
