Underoath: 777

Underwhelming Indeed
I'd agree with what many other reviewers have said: this DVD is pretty underwhelming. You only get half a live show, but then you're only paying half the price of a regular DVD. Anyway, some positives and negatives that come to mind:

Positives
- Half decent audio quality for the live performances (compared to, say, the live performances on the DVD that came with They're Only Chasing Safety).

- This DVD did a good job at getting across the band's energetic live performances and stage presence.

- It had some "making of..." stuff.

Negatives
- Still some strange stuff. I don't know if it's just the guys trying to be funny for the camera, or they really are strange. Throwing the guy "in the air" is the thing that sticks out at the moment (on the last DVD it was the spinning in the chair in the hotel room scene). It just seems so forced, like they're trying a little too hard to make things exciting--either for themselves, or for the...

8 songs for a live DVD?
The concert, which i suppose is the main reason to buy the DVD is only 8 SONGS!!! and hoping that their cd release show would be mostly songs from their last record, more than half are from "safety". as far as the "moments suspended in time stuff" it seems like the content was very thrown together to get a dvd released on time or something. the dvd that comes with the special edition of "safety" is much more entertaining. this dvd should've been released with a special edition of the cd or something. i dont know. not enough content to be its own DVD.

Good for what it is but could have been better
Being a huge Underoath fan, as soon as I heard news of this dvd, I ordered it straight away.
The packaging for the album is very nice as it is a cardboard box with the contents inside it.
However, the dvd itself was not amazing.
Firstly, the live show was quite short (only 8 songs) and the tracklist that is written in the box is wrong, I personally think they should have included another short show or put in one longer show. However, the show is good and really reflects the energy that the band display on stage.
Then, the documentary "Moments Suspended In Time" is also quite short with a lot of scenes, usually not exceeding five minutes. The only exception was the making of the video "You're Ever So Inviting" which was personally my favourite part of the whole dvd. Overall, once again, short but it was fun.
Lastly, the music videos were, similarly as above, very few, indeed they only included three music videos from their new album, they could have included...
