DVD : Strangers |
- Simply more than I expectedThis is a wonderful DVD full of extra material. 360 degrees interactive with a lot of biography and live performances. Absolutely recomended for Keane fans and music addicted
Rating:
- too much documentaryThe item is a two DVD set. Each disc has doumentary info, live performances and videos. You are able to see the documentary and the live performances in each disc from the main menu. But if you want to see the videos you are forced to watch the dcoumentary. Terrible way to lay out this item. It would have been best to put all the music (live and videos) in one disc and the documentaty on the other.
The quality of the music and videos (when you can get to them) is very good.

- Great content, but...It's really upsetting when you have to ride throughout the documentary feature in order to acess extras like videoclips and making of's.
And the structure is not so functional after all: One of my DVD players considers the documentary feature as a Menu, hence I can't fast-forward or rewind it. And only the live recordings are accesible directly through the menu.

- A Must For Keane Fans I was very pleased w/this DVD; Not only does it have 4 great video selections, there are 12-14 really strong live performances as well. Concert DVD's can be a mixed bag, but all the performances here are quite impressive. Most are from the CD 'Hopes and Fears', but there are several 'rarely heard' bonus tracks and a nice version of 'Hamburg Song' from 'Under The Iron Sea'. The interviews offer some insight into each song, and all the concert tracks sound great. Love the video for 'Bedshaped'...Simply amazing...Keane fans can't go wrong here....

- Only One Word Needed: Great!Sorry for the outburst but I am SO glad I got this DVD. I am a HUGE Keane fan (ask anybody who knows me)but I wanted to know more about the band. Sure, I had googled them but it wasn't enough so I bought "Strangers." I was estatic to see it came with two discs, both packed with live performaces and a documentary. It was very interesting to see how the band started and got going. It was also very funny at times and I'd have to pause the DVD because I was laughing but didn't want to miss any good material. It was great to see, after worshipping these guys for months, that they're regular people who are dysfunctional but funny, restless but charming. I felt like a even bigger fan after watching this, which is always a good feeling. And it was really cool because I bought the DVD in winter 2005 and I heard Tim and Tom talking about songs from their next album (Under the Iron Sea) and I finally got to understand what they we're talking about 6 months later when they released the CD. Speaking of Tim, it was very intriguing to see him in the writing process and, as stated before, the discussion of songs. It's also great just to see Chaplin, because he's so cool and SUCH an amazing singer. Richard is a great drummer though I found it hard to connect with him. The band's personality really shines through in this DVD and it's so much fun to watch.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Funny and fresh with loads of info and performances, this DVD is worth every penny.
