Negative – In The Eye Of The Hurricane

Releasedate: 28-11-2008; Label: Edel
By: Nina Mende

After the CD here is now the review about the DVD of Negative. They released their first DVD with a complete live show, all music videos, making-ofs and some more extras.
The behind the scenes material is mostly in Finnish and subtitles are not always available, but mostly they are. The cover still shows them as a six pack with Sir Christus.

On disc one you can find a live recording of an entire show at Pakkahuone in Tampere from two years ago where the guys were glad to be back home after excessive touring. Jonne seems to have a sore throat and has a hard time singing at times. Poor guys, you can tell how tired and exhausted they are form all the touring.

As I watched the making-ofs I somehow found that these were no real making ofs, more video shootings behind the scenes, but still quite funny at some times, but sometimes just as boring as a video shooting is. For the fans it is probably nice to have a collection of all released music videos, so this was a nice feature. The interview is in Finnish. The around the world section shows Negative from the beginning stages, so quite interesting for fans. The quality of the first live recordings is bad, but at least they have some videos to share.

The fan videos and pictures were collected in the past years. Maybe you have seen one or the other message from them asking their fans for it. Here on this DVD you can find what they picked out of all they got.

All in all I have to say that this DVD is a “nice to have” — for some maybe even “must have” –for fans, but if you are not a fan, you will probably not really watch it nor be interested. A great goody for their fans and I am sure they are thankful.
