DVD Reviews of Skin a Night & The Virginia Ep (2pc) (W/CD)
DVD Review: The CD is worth it!!
Summary: 4 Stars
The DVD is okay, but the CD is great. If you're a fan, you won't be disappointed. The cover of Springsteen's Mansion on the Hill is brilliant. DVD Review: A Package for Fans
Summary: 4 Stars
Over the past year, The National have quickly become one of my favorite bands. I was very excited about this film and EP and was not disappointed. The Virginia EP included b-sides and demos from Boxer, which were very enjoyable. The film, however, may not be enjoyed by everyone. It seems more like an art film than a documentary, which was fine with me. If you like David Lynch movies, you will like A Skin, A Night.DVD Review: A waste of money and time
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not buy this "film" if:
1.You hope to see complete performances by The National.
2.You like to watch interviews that aren't drowned out by other sounds.
3.You enjoy quality audio/video recordings.
I really love The National, but this was horrible. There are no extras on the DVD either.
DVD Review: a Diehard must!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a huge National fan. have met the band, drank with the band, watched the band more times then i can remember and so i say this . . . unless you're a huge fan of this band, do not get this CD/DVD. it's quite mundane and the music is subtle. 3 of the B-sides that are available on this CD are also available on others that you can get form iTunes or Amazon. the other 'unreleased' songs are not quite up to par as compared to the songs from Boxer, but like i said, if you are a huge fan/audiophile, then you will enjoy this package/songs.
The DVD is purely a montage of the making of the Boxer album and blurred, artsy snippets of the recording sessions and travel as done by the band while making the album. It is very cool to see how the recording process takes place, but it is fairly predictable. It's kinda like U2's Rattle and Hum, but completely the opposite.
If you're a huge National Fan or simply a big fan of lo-fi indie music and/or the making of . . . this will be a great buy.
DVD Review: If you love crazy camera work and empty NYC scenes, buy this
Summary: 2 Stars
If you love The National, you should buy it too...but only for the EP. The DVD is absolutely terrible and a waste of an hour.
Vincent Moon is trying desperately to make The National a legend. It's almost like he's hoping either the lead singer will die early or the band will become really famous eventually, and he can claim dibs on their first documentary. Moon does the right thing in bringing the music to the forefront, but it hurts the interviews, which I could barely hear or understand. Tons of time is wasted on meaningless scenes of NYC or nearly empty rooms. They hyper saturated color is annoying to watch. No one is as dramatic as Moon makes The National out to be. It's absolutely dreadful as a rock doc, a film, and a document of recording one of the great albums of 2007.
Moon should have watched "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" to learn how to make a movie about making a great album.
Description of Skin a Night & The Virginia Ep (2pc) (W/CD)
This is a documentary about The National by French filmmaker Vincent Moon, who followed the group during the creation of their acclaimed 2007 release, "Boxer." It's an insightful and beautiful glimpse into the band's creative process. The DVD is packaged with a separate disc, "The Virginia EP", which contains twelve tracks of demos, a cover, live versions, a radio session, and b-sides. Look for them on tour with REM and Modest Mouse in May. Coachella confirmed.Alternative Rock Music CDs
