Musically it's fantastic. Now flaws. However at times Reznor's voice sounds a little weak on tracks like "Hurt" or "March of The Pigs". And I'm annoyed at the extra f-words added. But despite some weaknesses, Trent still pulls off a stunning performance. Best songs: "With Teeth", "Closer" (love how they use the keyboard from their 1989 classic "The Only Time) and "Help Me I'm in Hell". Don't forget to check out the bonus features as well! It has some great music videos, and a live in-studio version of "Everyday is Exactly the Same" Plus a picture gallery, and five more live performances. I would recommend this to not only die-hard fans, but to NIN fans in general. And people new to the group will probably enjoy this as well, despite some weak vocals.

This was a great concert DVD, but at the same time, some of it seems like it's already been done before. The fact of the matter is, the version of "Closer" performed during this concert is almost the same as the version performed on the And All That Could Have Been tour, aside from the additional expletive. However, the band manages to kick a good amount of their line-up in high gear. Beside You In Time has one of the best live versions of "Something I Can Never Have" that I've ever seen. Also, his new material seems to have a new life that you didn't hear on the With_Teeth album, most notably in "Love Is Not Enough" and "The Line Begins To Blur." In addition to this, the concert isn't as much of a blur of metal and rage you'd think it might be. There's a good variety of songs here, just what you might expect to see on a Greatest Hits album. It's not all dull-sounding, like And All That Could Have Been. As lively as the hard rock songs are, the ballads like "Something I Can Never Have," "Right Where It Belongs," and "Hurt" are just as vivid. All in all, this concert DVD is nothing new, especially in the way of concert DVDs. At the same time, with the band kicking it up in high-gear, it's a good choice to get, whether you're a NIN enthusiast or just an average fan.

The funniest part about NIN is that they have only released 4 cd's. Yet Beside You In Time marks the 22nd Halo. For those who don't know Trent has marked every release(full lengths,singles,eps & videos)with the title of Halo followed by whatever number they are up to. Funnier still is that Trent somewhat stepped on the genre that made him a star. At least according to some of the vets who founded this genre and schooled Trent. Truth be told nine inch nails is a facade but a really really good one that has and continues to excite and entertain me beyond words. However I never ventured out to see them not once in all the 16 years prior to With Teeths release. For that release I attended a listening party,a small surprise show locally and saw them twice in a larger arena all within the same year. I own every halo release with the exception of the last live DVD release of The Fragile. Too expensive.Too bare bones.I wasn't there. However Live:Beside You In Time no matter the cost or content was a must own and im proud to say this DVD is loaded and sounds and looks great. Other than the extensive winter leg of the tour there is also a small amount of the summer tour featuring a song I have not heard anywhere unless im just missing it in all the confusion,Non-Entity. There is rehearsal footage and videos for The Hand That Feeds & Only. My inner geek also loved the subtitles because sometimes Trent adds lyrics that aren't always audible and now here they are. I know its chee-z but I've literally grown with nin. My head was in that same angst ridden position back in 89 with Pretty Hate Machine and then my self destructive 20's DownWard Spiral and even more lamenting as I entered my 30's Fragile and now im old and cranky but still rather messed up but calmer and somewhat at peace with it With Teeth. I didn't adjust my mood or lifestyle to accommodate the music the music of Nine Inch Nails has honestly been the soundtrack to my life thus far.

It's February 27th and Trent Reznors new DVD just hit store shelves. Needless to say this surpasses his previous film releases Closure and All that could have been. Visually "Beside you in time" is flawless, every second is crystal clear and enchanting. Trent Reznors sweat has never looked so good on camera. The DVD does fall behind with it's choppy audio mixing however. There are deliberate parts that just don't explode like they should ( Eraser) and some parts are just far to loud to be enjoyable. This DVD is absolutely worth its price (12.99) for 2 and a half hours of Nine Inch Nails fun. The Audio can be frustrating in parts but the visuals redeem these faults. I Highly recommend this to any NIN fan, casual or hardcore.
