Summary: Art or Pomposity?
Review: A Massive Attack fan to the death, I was sorely disappointed by this collection of videos. Since the release of "Mezannine," I would say that Del Naja has become the Bono of the early-mid nineties: pompous and a bit self-righteous. Where I would have hoped to see some experimental music video directing, this collection is mostly a jumbled together collection of cheesecake closeups of the ever-scowling 3-D. Advance listenings of "100th Window" portends more pseudo-art from this great band. One expects more from the greatest band of the late twentieth century.

Summary: Well Worth Seeing, Quality Lacking
Review: All 11 (up to the point of this release) of Massive Attack's videos one 1 DVD is something music fans should not pass up on. Pretty much all the videos are quite entertaining, and the music is obviously always ahead of its time. Even "Blue Lines" can still stand up to this day.
There are a few problems on this disc, probably none will stop people from buying it. Don't worry, because you still should. First, the quality of the individual films to DVD transfer is less than good. It seems you are watching them straight from MTV rather than watching a DVD. More care should have been taken when the transfers were done. Second, the audio was recorded in PCM, rather than Dolby Digital. So it pretty much seems like you are just listening to the records or CD's themselves. But that I don't have much of a problem with. These songs were originally recorded for stereo purposes, not 5.1. So trying to remaster them for 5.1 just doesn't work most of the time.
Well, it's not like MTV will air any of these videos on regular rotation any time soon. This is the only way to see them in full glory, so it is highly recommended to anyone who listens to music.Best Moment:
"Protection" video, directed by Michel Gondry,
possibly the greatest "1 shot 1 take" video ever done,
in the same vein as Hitchcock's "Rope"

Summary: Massive History
Review: All I can say is if you are a Massive Attack fan this is a must. All the videos that we here in the states aren't priveledged all in one disk. I just hope there will be a follow up in the years to come. Good time span of vids all the way from the beginning during the Tricky days. Well worth it.

Summary: My Mind is Upside Down!
Review: awesome. that's what i'm talking about, a DVD for the price of an audio CD. times are a-changin' there are a number of videos themselves that are well worth watching, although some tracks are better than the accompanying video!

Summary: Finally...
Review: Finally, we got a chance to look back at their video works. It's really been a while. My all time favorites for M.A. are KarmaComa and Protection, and the 2 videos are also on top my list -- the goofy hotel and Tracy Thorn hovering in the funky apartment building. I remembered when I first saw them they really add gems to my experience with their music. Now finally, Massive Attack again! Oh, of course, downloading my own sleeve for this fabulous CD is just fun, fun, and more fun!

Summary: Five stars for Be Thankful
Review: I bought this mainly to get the video for Be Thankful For What You've Got, it's one of my favorite videos of all time. Pure genius. It's sad that you'd never see this clip on MTV in the US.

Summary: Hmmm....
Review: I love Massive Attack and have all the CDs and even a couple of LPs (still yet to get a decent turntable tho). At least one MA CD is always in my car. So when the DVD became available (ordered from the UK in December 2001) I grabbed it. When it arrived....hmmmm.... I'd expected the music to be remixed into 5.1 DD - nope, it's still in PCM stereo. And very flat stereo too. The image quality is OK, but there are no extras. The title says it all: "Eleven Promos" and that's about it. My fave song, "Be Thankful For What You've Got", suffers from a wierd video clip and unsympathetic remix for video. Then again, "Teardrop" is quite moving. "Safe From Harm" has a new meaning when you see the video clip (trust me - I thought I understood the lyrics from the CD) and "Protection" is also excellent. But overall I'm disappointed. Good, and probably a must-have for most MA fans, but I'm indifferent.

Summary: For the Value - It's Worth it!
Review: I seem to buy a lot of DVDs with videos on them, and I could not pass up these 11 promo videos from Massive Attack. It's like a GREATEST HITS or SINGLES package, so it should please the casual as well as obsessive fan. Songs go chronilogically in order throughout the disc. There are no extras - just eleven videos in stereo with no bells or whistles. But most of these don't need explaining. The good part is that you have many guest vocalists near the end - Tracy Thorne of EBTG, and Tricky to name two. So it seems to lend itself to parties or bar settings! Video quality is fine, though on widescreen televisions you may see some funky aspect ratios. This is built for squares! It's only in 2.0 stereo, but so were the singles. Wish more bands would release their videos this way!
