Tour Dictator

I've been waiting for this. I'm happy I got their first DVD, Embrace At Distraught, for a cheap price. However, the performance (first one-man live) had several off-moments (usually vocals), and some songs were cut, to show Japanese interviews. Personally, I prefer watching a full gig and have interviews as an extra. This DVD has exactly that. A full gig with none of that interrupting stuff. I have no idea where or when it was filmed (probably in Japan, given the Asian audience), but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. The band works through their back catalogue like a star, and are all in perfect shape. They have definitely matured since their first DVD. The songs included are from various releases, including the most recent album Dictator. I recognized a lot of songs I like, so I'm happy. Picture and sound are perfect. This release couldn't be better. There's some bonus material of the Europe concerts, which I sadly couldn't attend due to the Dutch gig being cancelled (and too far away from where I was vacationing at the time), and the replacement gig in the French part of Belgium was vague on information and also too far away. It's less quality than the main gig, but oh well. Still an awesome release. Onto the next album/EP/DVD!
