Review of Pink FLoyd's new DVD, Pulse . It would have been nice to have a reviewer who knew something about Pink Floyd. Most if not all of his review consists of reading the back of the DVD package - Hey guess what, I can read too - Just have to load up Amazon and read the info -

IF you are to review, pelase know your stuff. I take a quote here ' the band has existed since the 1960s , though they have hcanged their mem

Steve,

My comments regarding the changing band members was done for the sake of brevity. Plus if you go and actually look at the back of the DVD box it is basically just a song listing, which my review is definately more than that. I review a large amount of DVDs which compromise various subjects. If we were to try and experts to review each title then we'd probably never get anything reviewed.

Adrian,

I was esentially referring to the VHS release when I said that. Forgot about the LD (even though I still have a stack of them in the bedroom, though not this one ;) ). Mea culpa.

Cheers.

In Jeff's defense, the studios do like us to include a brief synopsis of the DVD which most of the times is basically the information on the back of the cover. This is also done to give the reader a basic idea of what the DVD is about. The reviewer then can go into more detail as he feels fit in his review. Also, as Jeff stated, our writers handle a wide variety of films and sometimes have to review titles they are not 100 percent familiar with (as often seen when we review a season two or four of a TV series box set. This is done because we are always trying to give our readers the most reviews each month as we can. While we try to put as much information as we can in a review, sometimes it is not enough for the more knowledgeable reader. As always, thanks for reading!
