Movie Reviews of Nevermore: The Year of the Voyager
Movie Review: Awesome production and content -- and there are some reasons for that video editing!
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing content on these two DVD's! Yes, it's true the video editing is very changing on the main show, but I realized that, even if the editing is quite disturbing, at the same time the constant changes emphasize certain details of the songs you would have overlooked otherwise -- sometimes it's a drums break which you get aware of, and sometimes it's just a little "thrill" on the guitar that gets on screen for one second for you to notice it. Also, when the guitars are soloing they get a lot of screen time anyway, which is a very good thing to me. So, I think this kind of video editing serves to one purpose (even if yes, it is distressing): getting closer to each band member's contributions when they play their parts.
Besides that, I love the setlist. It covers every single album from Nevermore, and in addition the band's performance is spot-on -- and the sound is excellent (good for Andy Sneap!)
About the musicians now, I was impressed by the voice of Warrell Dane live. He rocks! Another special mention goes to the awesome Chris Broderick (ex-Jag Panzer, currently with Megadeth), as he is a monster player who shares like no other the lead guitar duties with Jeff Loomis -- actually, I spent some time comparing the live arrangements when they play with other guitarists (the bonus DVD has several shows with other axemen playing with Nevermore), and Chris Broderick does solo like nobody else. I guess that's why Warrell Dane says on the interview (included in the second DVD) that Chris is the number one in their list.
I'm also glad we got in the second disc two songs from the Gigantour DVD. They were filmed in Montreal and I was there in that show. By watching that footage I confirmed that Steve Smyth (ex-Dragonlord, ex-Testament) is a true stage demon. Warrell can say that Chris Broderick still is their first choice as a second guitar player (and I understand why), but Smyth and Loomis used to play really great together, didn't they? The show from Metalmania is also with Smyth and the man is just another monster player -- well, after all you have to be if you're going to play with Jeff Loomis... :-)
To conclude, I'll say that these two DVD's are of a great value and deserve five stars without hesitation. I like Nevermore a lot, and it is great getting all their promotional videos and a lot of quality live footage (excepting the 2001 gig, which is almost bootleg-quality, but still cool) for a fair price. Nevermore delivers as a live band and metal fans will be extremely pleased. The production is in addition excellent, as well as the content. So, go buy this release now, and thus support a band that shows a high level of respect to its followers. We deserved this, right? Ok, so they deserve now some money back for this superb job -- and that's why I purchased this release as soon as it came out, because it's my way of saying "Thank you, Nevermore!" ROCK ON!
