  1.  Great for Metal too!

    Posted: 

    It's not just the bass that these handle well, although a bit of playing with your graphic equaliser will be needed to get the right balance. These things are just amazing, not just for the price. I've paid 5 times the price for headphones in the past and they haven't been this good. If you like any kind of music, get these.

  2.  A surprise return to form

    Posted: 

    This was a surprise. A nice surprise but a surprise all the same.
    I wasn't a big fan of the last few albums, for me the last decent Prong album was Rude Awakening and that was way back in 1996.
    When they get it right though they can be pretty awesome. This album could have easily been the follow up to the outstanding "Cleansing" (1994) it is that good.
    The production is heavy as all hell and the songs are there too, the new line up are solid as a rock (extra mention for the outstanding contribution of drummer Alexei Rodriguez) and Tommy Victor is back to his snarling and riffing best.
    I'm not going to break it down song by song but safe to say that there isn't any filler here, I've been playing it for a month solid and I'm not skipping any tracks.
    If you liked Prong in the past then do not hesitate to buy this. If you like heavy, crunching music with just a hint if indie/punk and groves that make you want to jump then this is for you.
    In fact if you like heavy music at all then this is for you, as I said earlier it really is that good.

  3.  Bought two...

    Last xmas and both went done brilliantly! Also these are twice the price on iwantoneofthose and they charge for postage!

  4.  At last!

    Posted: 

    Oh yes this is what we've been waiting for! I just hope they've improved the transfer of the first two films which were poor on the theatrical release, which I borrowed from a friend as I've been waiting for this version, the only one to watch.

  5.  Not as good as most other Heist films you could buy....

    Posted: 

    Anyone daring to invoke the classic Heat to describe this movie is either insane or hasn't actually seen Heat.

    This is no Inside Man or The Town never mind Heat!

    This really is abc, 123, flat pack heist movie which never misses a cliche.

    No need for my review to be flagged for spoilers as there are NO surprises in this workmanlike effort.

    So let's see, witless cops who are more hard working than actually effective? Check. A scene of the group all walking in a line in slow motion towards camera with rock music playing. Check. A divisive romance amongst the thieves? Check. An ex member of the group just got out of prison? Check. Random English actor to give it an independent feel? Check. A tenuous mob connection to give the story some legs? Check. Someone going to get double crossed? You decide. After an hour it really is hard to care what happens to anyone.

    The only thing anywhere near remarkable about this movie is the very convincing, menacing performance of the almost totally unrecognisable Dennis Leary as a Russian mobster.

    So in a nutshell if you're in the mood for a heist movie there are loads a lot better than this one you could rent

  6.  A monstrous waste of time....

    Posted: 

    I was looking forward to this film, I am a bit of a film buff and really enjoy this type of movie, or at least the kind of movie that I thought this was going to be. Simply put it's a road movie. It is totally inconsequential that aliens have landed as you see VERY little of them.

    Yes it' looks good, yes it has some good acting BUT and it's a big BUT. NOTHING happens.

    You are lead along a journey constantly teased by countless road signs that this is a dangerous, 'infected' area and you better watch out. So you do.In the belief that any minute the impending doom that is being advertised on every street corner is about to befall our screen couple.

    It doesn't.

    In fact for a brief period they are stranded in the jungle but even this fails to deliver any drama as apparently they know where they're going and have lot's of food and water. They must have as the female lead is always having to stop to 'go pee'.

    A more frustrating and unrewarding 90 minutes it is hard to remember.

    At the end I thought it might just be me but the man who sat behind me summed it all up perfectly.

    'We've been had'

  7.  Superb product at a silly price!

    Posted: 

    Used this to replace one of my standard HDMI cables and it's given me 5-10% improvement on clarity of picture.
    A genuine bargain don't miss out and buy immediately.

  8.  A fantastic rewarding watch, travel back in time to 70's!

    An American friend stayed with me and brought their copy of this over before it wa shown on UK TV. I was blown away! This is beautifully acted, has great characters, wonderful plot turns and great fun!
    It is such a shame the quite inexplicably it wasn't picked up for a second season. I would have loved to have seen how these characters would have dealt with the situations they end in at the end of the season finale.

  9.  Brilliant series!

    Posted: 

    Fantastic acting great stories really refreshing and some brilliant action scenes. Seriously though September 2011 release date? Really?

  10.  Whoever said you can't improve on perfection....

    Was wrong.
    This sounds better than ever and is still one of the greatest debut albums of all time. The bottom end has been enhanced to reveal previously hidden depths that really do shake the speakers. When you add Reznor's twisted version of the Queen classic Get Down Make Love as an extra track it just got even better.
    If you're in two minds as to whether to get this? Do it. You won't regret it.
