DVD Reviews of R.E.M. - When the Light is Mine... The Best of the I.R.S. Years 1982-1987 Video Collection

DVD Review: REM VIDEO
Summary: 5 Stars

I AM A TOTAL REM FAN- THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING- THE EARLY YEARS-TOTALLY ROCKS-LOOK AT THE BOYS BEFORE SUPERSTARDOM HIT- YOU NEED TO BUY THIS

DVD Review: For die-hard fans.
Summary: 3 Stars

For die-hard fans it's very good. I'n not that sure for everybody else.
I think it's better the music CD.

DVD Review: REM ROCKS!
Summary: 4 Stars

If you are and REM fan, this is a must. There is such good music from when they first started out in 83. Even if people think otherwise. The reason i gave it four stars was because their videos and most of their music was so much better after they left I.R.S. And...i also enjoyed and watch more of the bonus features then the actual videos haha. So if you get this, you wont be disappointed, you'll just watch the bonus features over and over.

(<3Michael Stipe<3 mmmm delicious!)

DVD Review: Inexplicable Oversight
Summary: 3 Stars

It's good to have all these old videos compiled on DVD; now I can throw away my old VHS "REM Succumbs" tape.
I still think Jim Herbert's videos are a treat; it's amazing that even though these videos are usually pronounced "boring" or "headache-inducing" by many viewers, their influence on music video in general is incalculable. Back in the day, it was amazing to see how so soon after these original videos began coming out, nearly every band who was making music videos began copying the Herbert approach. High praise for all these unique clips, which from a time when R.E.M. embraced (or pioneered) the whole southern-gothic-mysterious feeling.

My sole reason for docking this review two stars is for an unusual production oversight: the producers of this DVD never bothered to scrub or re-sync the videos with more up-to-date audio tracks, which very easily could have been done by any editor with a few mouse clicks. (Obviously, the audio for the live performance videos, and Stipe's non-lip-synced vocal for "So. Central Rain" would have had to remain as-is. No problem there; the audio is just fine for these segments.)
Instead, what is on the DVD are the original, worn-out and/or inferior audio tracks from the original sources. As a result, the lengthy "Left of Reckoning" may look as good as it ever has, but it sounds atrocious, with a very worn, watery sound that is nearly absent of decent high-end. Even the video for "Radio Free Europe" suffers from the same effect.

I'm calling for R.E.M., one of the greatest American rock bands ever, who always have issued quality stuff before, to re-issue this DVD with improved sound. Then this compilation will be well worth its weight.

DVD Review: What did you expect...?
Summary: 5 Stars

REM has never followed the crowd and their videos don't either. The ones I remember seeing were illuminating the second time around. The ones I hadn't seen before were worth watching over and over again. Dang, they're darn near brilliant!
