I picked up this DVD to check out some of the music videos and short films. This isn't my favorite music, but I enjoy listening to it here and there, and have nothing against the band or style of music.I won't go into full detail but I'll mention the things I believe should be mentioned relating to this DVD:From a DVD technical standpoint, this disc is horrible. The video quality is very poor, has lots of "jaggies", and most of the audio is MONO (even during the music videos!). Totally not what a MUSIC oriented DVD should sound or look like. Most of the video looks as if it was "deinterlaced" into 29.97fps, so none of it runs at 24p, and none of it was formatted for widescreen TV's. I cannot stress enough how disappointing I was when I watched the music videos and short films, and found out the sound was not even in stereo, much less surround.The documentary section is pretty worthless as well. None of it is interesting, even with their best attempts with editing. The band members tout that they are getting older, yet consistently act like little kids in the mannerisms and speech. (everyone can have fun, but that's not how they are portraying it). They are all also VERY aware they are being filmed, and this is also obvious throughout the video, and takes away from the "realism" expected from being behind the scenes.Hope this helps anyone who was looking to pick up this DVD for some sonic goodness.
