Jeff Jensen, an EW senior writer, has been despondent since the cancellation of ''Twin Peaks''

And All That Could Have Been, NIN's first live album proves Trent Reznor's studio-sculpted sounds can make the transition with richness intact. ''The Great Below'' retains its lush sweep, while ''Closer'' keeps its pounding gallop. More revealing is ''Still,'' a bonus disc (in the deluxe edition) of stripped-down cuts: an invaluable document that bears witness to the soul in Reznor's pretty little hate machines.
