I am a self confessed Amen fan boy. Therefore my opinion of this DVD is somewhat unavoidably biased. I'll start by saying that For fans of the band, this DVD is a great reminder of how great they are live, the power and intensity of Casey Chaos and his ever changing band of merry men. For those who aren't familiar with the band, but are looking for some anthemic, violent and explosive punk tinged metal (or metal tinged punk!) I;d reccomend listening to the albums first (especially "We have come for your parents") The DVD features a mini-documentary, heavily featuring Casey and his political views (and some nice footage of various anti-war demos), but it's the live set filmed at Manchester Academy that is the real reason to get this dvd. Showcasing songs from all of their previous albums highlights include a frenetic opening of "Coma American", the band fire on all barrels from the word go. There's dropped notes, poor vocals, out of time drumming and broken strings at times, but thats beside the point. I don't think there would be any point in watching a live dvd if a band are simply going through the motions, Amen could never be accused of that! All in all a brutal, rough edged package...and oerfect because of it!
