5.0 out of 5 stars Get it all! The album and the video., September 23, 2001

First the album,
UBRM is one of the best albums I own. BF5 has recently become one of my favorite bands. This album in particular has some of their best work (I know a lot of people disagree); the top rated tracks on this are: Mess, Don't Change Your Plans, Magic, and Regrets. The way BF utilizes the piano in this sort of rock manner is ingenious. It maintains a sort of classic rock form yet experiments in modern alternative. Five stars all the way!!!!!

The video,
The included video is remarkable because not only does it contain live concert footage of BF5's best music but it also has some hilarious mad hatter sort of stuff (like the part when they beat the crap out of that guy in the field.) The video also receives a high rating five star prop (don't know what prop is? Ask a person who grew up in Harlem)!!!!!

This video makes me laugh. Not many piano, drum, and bass trios have videos that are funny and show good live footage. I guess there aren't many piano, drum, and bass trios anyway, but of the one I have seen, this one has the best video to go with an already great CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely a must have, November 2, 1999

If you've ever seen them live, you know what kind of energy these guys have. You can't really capture that on tape-- but this is about as close as you can get. It's especially rewarding to witness their innate musicallity and fabulous interaction. (Can you tell they're my favorite artist?)
