I pondered putting this in the Music section, but I really want to talk more about the DVD presentation itself.
Holy. Fuck.
I don't buy many music DVD's (I subscribe to Lewis Black's addage that "Music goes in your ear, video goes in your eye, ear-eye, eye-ear, BIG. FUCK. DIFFERENCE!"). But when buying Rio Bravo and The Wild Bunch and being informed of the Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale at Barnes and Noble this was the first I saw.
The songs are performed amazingly well, but that should come as no surprise.Visually this had me more entranced than a lot of movies I've seen lately. The number I remember more than anything is Hurt (my favorite song and naturally the one I turn to first). Just the lighting and camera work made the simple image of Trent Reznor sitting at a keyboard absolutely hypnotic. Some of this is Reznor or whoever does the stage design, but a big part of it is the editing and cinematography.
When I eventually make the jump to Blu-Ray this is one of if not the very first discs I'm buying.
