Reviews & Discussion

Review by Aug 30, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
A great mix of tracks from various FLA albums on the two CD's and a good buy separately. However, the video quality is shit for the first few tracks. Slow motion movement and to many high tone lights give off a very poor look for the concerts involved. I'd prefer it if it was just s straight shot of the live show but MET of course needs to be different and thus try experimenting. The interview segments in between some tracks are great and I think it was ironic hearing Bill talk about 'Plasticity' and saying it was as techno as they were ever gonna get...HA! Not anymore.
Apparently there is a DVD of this coming out with better picture and sound, but that was announced 3 years ago and still nothing. All the music videos are great though and this was worth the buy. The metal pin is top quality too. Still have it on my workbag after 6 years!
