Summary: Snatch this up while you can!
Review: A solid review of the band's videos, mixed in 5.1 no less. If you are a lowly American Suede fan such as myself, than most of these clips will be brand new to you. The clips themselves range from fantastic(Beautiful Ones)to idiotic(Stay Together--Brett, who did your hair on this one?) but the music is briliant throughout. AND we get the bonus of band commentary(mostly unitelligible with the accents and the mumbling) and a sort of video scrapbook, highlighting each year since 1993. Its too bad that this garnered such a limited release, Im sure only diehards are ever going to see these clips on this side of the pond. If you like Suede, seek this out!

Summary: Why don't you own it already?
Review: Assuming that anyone who happens to read this review is already a Suede fan, you need this product. There's really no better way to see all of these videos, and some of them (Beautiful Ones and Everything Will Flow in particular) are really brilliant and enhance the original songs. The video's best feature, though, has to be the instrumental versions of all the songs, allowing for Suede karaoke. It doesn't skimp on the features in general; it's a good buy.

Summary: This is how every music DVD should be!
Review: Suede are one of those strange (and few) bands whose videos are just as great as their songs. And that is because they know how valuable the videos are for their fans. And "Lost In TV" shows it. This DVD includes every single Suede has promoted, plus a lot of additional material (studio recordings footage, a "The Tonight Show" performance of "Moving", a Brett Anderson and Richard Oakes rehearsal for "Daddy's Speeding", and a lot of surprises hidden). Of course, this DVD is worth every single penny! Check out the "Metal Mickey", "Electricity", "Beautiful Ones" and "The Wild Ones" videos, and you will know what I mean.

Summary: Suede t.v.-head
Review: The menus aren't very clear about what's what. But the content does rock! I especially enjoyed the band commentary.....Brett, Mat, and Simon (and Richard, near the end) are shown in a little box in the left corner of the screen, judging their own videos. It was amusing to hear them trash some of their own vids, and even leave the room in embarrassment during one vid! LOL. This is a keeper for any Suede-head.

Summary: A Must-Have DVD for any Suede fan
Review: This DVD collects all of Suede's videos from 1992-1999. And what a fantastic DVD. The videos themselves are awesome, with my favorites being Animal Nitrate, So Young, Metal Mickey, The Drowners, Beautiful Ones, The Wild Ones, Everything Will Flow, and Electricity. However, all of the songs rock and the videos are all interesting and are enhanced by the music. The features include the ability to do some Suede karaoke with about a third of the songs, and the "On the Couch" section, which has the band members sitting on the couch in the corner of the screen commenting on the videos. Their comments are hilarious, and during the video for Stay Together, which the band hates, they all leave the room except Mat, who makes a phone call! Overall a hell of a DVD...my only complaint is that it's missing Suede's last three videos they did before they broke up.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: the visual aid
Review: This is a pretty funny DVD. Most of the videos don't stand up to the test of time. Probably the Suede book or the live DVD are more worthwhile. Anything without Bernard Butler is sort of an underachievement. Only a few videos are worth checking out, like "We Are The Pigs" and "Trash" but most Suede enthusiasts have probably seen these on MTV a million times already. The only redeeming quality is that the members of Suede, and especially Brett Anderson, slag off most of the videos. Suede never really worked with any credible artists or filmmakers, like other contemporary bands like Blur and Pulp did.
