I don't understand why this music video compilation has a lot of what could be considered "outdated" bands and/or songs on here. At least three of the bands on here have broken up awhile ago, including Name Taken, whose video for "Control" is one of the best on this compilation. "Cross Out the Eyes," by Thursday (Full Collapse was released in 2001) is also on here, but I have it on at least two other music DVDs. "Botchla" was Poison the Well's gem from Tear From the Red, which was released in 2002. But, assuming you don't care about things like that, or don't already have a hard copy of these videos, this is a pretty cool DVD that features a lot of good bands (Rainer Maria, The Weakerthans, .moneen., Copeland, among others as well as the previously mentioned bands) and a lot of well made videos that make for an entertaining watch and enjoyable listen. I just find it odd that they wouldn't use more current music.
