MUCC 2003 Natsu no Tour "Nihon Rettou Konton Heisei Shinnoju"

First of all, the DVD is region-free, so that is a very good feature. You can watch the disc on any NTSC DVD player. The artwork is really nice, a refreshing change. The case is clear, showing a collage of pictures on the backside of the front artwork when you open the case. The disc itself is simplistic and interesting. Included is a small card that shows the tracklist (which is absent on the back of the DVD, replaced by a large photograph), and on the other side the copyright information. The package looks really nice by itself, but onto what the package really is- the concert. While there is no supplementary material (except interactive menus), the concert plays uninterrupted. The show begins with lots and lots of energy, and slows down towards the middle, just to throw you back into a frenzied ending that leaves you dazed. The concert is excellent, Mucc sounds awesome. The song choice is practically perfect (they only play songs up to Zekuu). Even though the DVD is basically $50, the purchase is worth every dollar if you like Mucc.

I never knew Mucc was this good, or this heavy. I really like them now that I've got this. I bought it, knowing it's currently the only Mucc live DVD still available (all the lives released after this are limited edition and sold out), expecting it to be decent J-Rock in the veins Alice Nine, Nightmare or perhaps Merry, but it's actually a lot heavier and thus better. I really enjoyed this DVD by this heavy semi-visual band. It's a delight to watch, very catchy, and really worth your money. Again, picture and sound quality are great, as most J-rock/visual DVD's tend to be.

Absoulutely Amazing! This DVD provided for me the opporutinity to see MUCC live and let me just say I've never seen a live show as magnificent as this. If you are interested in MUCC or just an excellent show you definitely have to add this to your collection. If you only have their CDs I highly recommend you buy this DVD because it provides this whole other dimension to the band and makes them even more endearing as well as awe inspiring!
