Reznor explained the concept behind the album[http://nincatalog.com/printed-artwork/press-release-and-all-that-could-have-been-us-press-release-1620/] in a Q&A lifted from a promotional posterpress sheet:
<blockquote>"We did a radio show in Chicago where we did such songs as "The Fragile" and "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" that were stripped down, though it was not us with acoustic guitars, singing Poison songs. So I took those performances, and added some other ones we'd done in the studio, several new instrumental tracks, a new song called "And All That Could Have Been," and worked it into a heavily melancholic suite for a rainy, fall, Sunday afternoon."</blockquote>
