5.0 out of 5 stars Us old geezers like Paramore too!, December 5, 2007

By	J. Williams (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Paramore's known for attracting a pretty young crowd, and that's understandable given how young the band itself is. But I'm a 35 year old guy who's gotten just as hooked on them as any of their teen audience. This is just some great rock music, with great hooks in almost every song and some amazing musicianship all around. Hopefully they'll continue to mature and continue to broaden their fan base as they progress.

The MVI DVD was my first Paramore purchase, and it's a great buy. I have to give special mention to the fact that there are actual mp3's on this disc for you to download to your PC - no DRM involved. That's gotta be something pretty new for Warner Music (the band is signed to Fueled by Ramen, but Warner apparently handles the distribution), and I hope that they continue doing it and that more labels follow suit. There are a ton of other great extras on the DVD, including live and promotional videos (the two things I cared about most) as well as other stuff I was less interested in like wallpapers, AIM icons, and screensavers. It also includes the lyrics to all of the songs on the album, which is a good thing in this case - the printed liner notes are written in a style that's pretty hard to read.

Just to be clear about what this comes with, since I think the Amazon page is a little confusing, this package comes with both a DVD and a regular audio CD that includes the full album plus bonus tracks. (Amazon shows "disc 2" above as only including the bonus tracks, which is not the case. It's the full album.) In other words, *both discs* have the full album - the only difference is the format. And of course the DVD has all the extras.

I was worried initially that there was going to be some sort of surreptitious installation of various tracking programs installed when I put this DVD into my computer - you know, like the major labels usually do these days. I'm still not 100% convinced that isn't the case, but I will say that their terms of use and privacy policies seem adamant that there is nothing of the sort, and it seems that the entire DVD interface is just a Macromedia Flash file - it's like viewing a Flash web site. You can also just watch it as a standard DVD if you like. The way their terms of use is worded makes it sound like they know about all the stuff that went on with the Sony rootkit fiasco and they don't want anyone to think that's going to happen with this DVD. I certainly hope that's the case, as I've now watched it on my PC probably half a dozen times already.

There's really no reason to buy the standard CD over the MVI DVD given all it comes with. You're really just getting a lot more with this package for only a couple bucks extra. It's totally worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, December 28, 2007

By	Mr. J. Hendrickson-mcdowell "blueraider_9" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The extra CD comes with lots of features which is good. I was a bit disappointed with the videos that come with the mvi disc because I felt they were too short and that they jus wasn't enough. But the downloadable content makes up for this I guess. Although if you have downloaded content onto the mvi disc note that you wont be able to play them on a TV if you use the mvi disc as a DVD.

Overall a good product though.

4.0 out of 5 stars The way special editions should be, June 1, 2008

By	James Keogh (Woodside, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For those who haven't purchased Riot! yet - this is definitely the version to get. Often times, re-releases of albums can just simply be a way to for the label to milk money out of their bands while they're hot.

However, wonderful acoustic takes on "Misery Business" and "Pressure", and a good deal of live material on both the CD and DVD showcase a strong live band with fun and incredibly catchy pop-punk songs, making it one of the better "special editions" I've picked up.

The album itself showcases a fun, youthful, energetic band with a hint of optimism that's a welcome change from most other bands in the same vein. Songs like "When It Rains" and "Hallelujah" show a thoughtful young band with tight hooks, while the singles like "Misery Business" and "That's What You Get" are perfect for a light-hearted summer vibe (definite Warped Tour material).

I give this a four due to the short length of the DVD, but with 5 bonus tracks that could even stand alone on an EP, even more bonus tracks on the DVD and 3 music videos, it's a great buy for those who like to get a bit more than just the album.

Those who already own the album, this isn't for you unless you're a die-hard Paramore fan. But those who don't own it, get this version. You won't be disappointed.
