Pure 80's: The DVD description
The 1980s may be remembered for a lot of things--Reagan, Tiananmen Square, the genius of Miami Vice--but music probably won't be foremost among them. Still, the decade did have its guilty pleasures, some of which can be found right here on this 14-song, 58-minute DVD. ABC ("The Look of Love"), Asia ("Heat of the Moment"), Swing Out Sister ("Breakout"), Night Ranger ("Sister Christian"), Berlin ("No More Words"): let's face it, no hall of fame will be shining up a plaque for them (or anyone else featured here, except perhaps Squeeze, whose soulful "Tempted" stands out amid all the fluffy synth-pop) anytime soon. So the songs are generally about as memorable as your last potato chip, and the videos are pretty lame by the technical standards of the 21st century. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy Tears for Fears to your heart's delight--just keep it to yourself. --Sam Graham

♥♥♥♥ Fair compilation; good value for your money
This music video compilation is a must have for any 80's music fan. The main problem with most such video compilations out there these days is that they are too scanty. The average music video DVD contains like 5-7 songs at the most. Wouldn't you rather spend a few dollars more and get a disc which contains more good hits in one place? And this collection does exactly that. It puts (videos of) 14 of the 80's best hits in one place. Agreed, there is still a lot more space on a DVD to get three times as many videos, but this collection stands out compared to the other collections out there today. The other good thing is that there were a lot of one-hit-wonder bands back then that you cannot really find videos of now e.g. Dan Hartman or Berlin. You can easily get a DVD of Tears For Fears videos but not these other bands. Even if you could many people wouldn't buy them because they only had a few good songs to their credit. So it is great to get your hands on a DVD where you can find all these good numbers in one place. In a nutshell: there's room for improvement, but that shouldn't blind you to what it's worth and pass it over.
