Review by Soma-Tsukasa

The performance was an excellent one. The band really rocked out giving a very satisfying output. D'espairsRay is one of the very few bands that I believe are better live than on recorded audio. The set-list was good though I would of personally switch some of the songs, reason being it is a 10th anniversary show. I felt like there should of been a few more older songs to go along with Maverick. The fact that the show was at a seated venue was sort of a bummer. I like to see the crowd jump around and go a little crazy in live footage not much of that was going on because of the seated arrangement. These are the only reasons why I'm not rating this 5 stars. Now to make this into a compliment sandwich. The band's visuals are great. The four musicians look wonderful moving around in their Final Call attire and their. The lighting was well done as well so I can say that visually this concert was great. On an ending note, the band's looks, energy, and music was at an excellent level for this DVD.

The band definitely ended with a bang before their hiatus. The dark atmosphere and new sounds of their Monsters are very welcoming. The band really gave an awesome performance with their music and visuals and the crowd reacted well to these. Very well produced and a definite buy for D'espairsRay fans, especially since the featured show was the last one before their hiatus.

Throughout the band's career and multiple single releases, D'espairsRay has really put thought when it comes to writing B-Sides, unlike many bands who quickly stick a song onto a single. The band also didn't just stick the songs in that order and named it an album. The songs are remastered and and it is especially notable in the songs from their early days. Antique brings b-sides from both old and new singles and are tracklisted in chronological order so one may experience their sounds throughout their career, similar to Immortal. Keep in mind that it DOES NOT CONTAIN EVERY B-SIDE. But this isn't much of a problem since the CD already contains 17 songs which are very satisfying.
