Placebo - Meds
on: March 21, 2006, 23:11:13 PM
So, I have the new album (for which a fairly comprehensive review was posted on last.fm by myself) and it is excellent, but Im a little let down by the DVD portion of the limited edition book album I purchased from Amazon. It looks great, but it is very short. A few audio tracks (including three demos) and a few live videos coupled with a very short documentary.

Im not familiar with musical extra DVDs, so is it fairly commonplace for so little to appear on an extra DVD?

pretty much mate. it makes the album a little sweeter than an average album.

the only other example is the absolution dvd. but that had an hour of videos which were taken during the making of the album by tom kirk.

but yeah its to make you appreciate the production gone into the album.

like finding fries at the bottom of the bag/finding out the girl you have just started to sleep with has a tongue piercing

Only problem is the extra content might not be worth the premium cost. Ones Ive seen havent been :(

Thats a good selection of points raised red, but then, I already did appreciate the production values that had gone into it, if anything it makes me think cash in to see so little extras when there is a lot of space on the DVD, but thats probably off the mark. Its all very well presented so I shouldnt complain really :)

Been listening to this a bit, its certainly closer to some of their earlier stuff but has does feel like weve heard it all before.  

Unfortunately I cant help but think Ill get fed up of it sooner than later.
