Advantages: A couple of decent tracks Disadvantages: The album lacks consistency, a lot of fillers are evident here
and 'When Your Heart Stops Beating' is therefore a much better offering than what we had from Mr DeLonge. Whereas after the demise of Blink 182, Tom DeLonge took the route of taking himself far too seriously and becoming a complete egotist, +44 are far more light-hearted, and although their music is at times a far cry from that of what they were producing as Blink 182; a lot of the time the tracks here sound like cast off's from Blink 182's self titled release.
'When Your Heart Stops Beating' starts off promisingly with 'Lycanthrope', a track which is fairly pacey and keeps your interest for the 4 minutes that it runs for. Although this track is pacey with strong drum beats and guitars, it's never really anything spectacular and although starts the album nicely enough it will never leave you gasping in awe of what you have just listened to ...
Advantages: Adds greater depth to the listening experience. Disadvantages: Costs slightly more than the version without the DVD.
Firstly, what makes this different from buying just the CD is the inclusion of "The making of The Resistance" DVD. This DVD, by first appearances is a combination of poor camera work, awkward camera angles and fairly poor quality, but realising it's home-made nature is part of it's innate charm. The menu screen is designed to be in the style of a retro computer, mimicked in the credits with the scrolling text.
From the start, Muse provide a comic view of their experiences in the studio recording of their latest album, The Resistance. The DVD is laid out according to the album track listing, splicing shots of the individual members playing their parts with discussion regarding content and style, as well as debating the effects and cutting of the track. This is mixed with clips of the band members creating their own effects, much in ...

~Introduction~
*****************
The irrepressible Norman is back in arguably his funniest film.
~Synopsis~
***********
Norman is sick of being a parking attendant and dreams of following in his fathers footprints and become a police man. Unfortunately he fails the height test, not that that would be a problem today.
Dejected he starts going through his dad's old chest and guess what he finds? His fathers old police uniform, oh no.
He puts it on and goes for a stroll down the street, which as you can probably guess leads to huge mayhem, farcical whimsy and general madness.
Eventually after being caught impersonating a policeman some bright spark notices that he bears a striking resemblance to a nasty criminal that the police have been after for quite a while, Giulio Napolitani.
Now Norman must ...

DVD Description
It’s hard to imagine anything of beauty blossoming from the oppressive soil of apartheid South Africa, but as this documentary proves, music endures even in the harshest conditions. Filmed in secret, and at considerable personal danger, RHYTHM OF RESISTANCE examines the vital role music plays in the lives of black South Africans, who face racism, segregation, superstition, and censorship with poignant songs of protest. Interestingly, this award-winning film was one of the inspirations behind Paul Simon’s GRACELAND album and his acclaimed collaboration with Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
