The DVD Disease Is Punishment is the video compilation to Money Money 2020, the debut album from The Network. Featuring a live concert performance at a sold-out Key Club in Los Angeles last November, plus music videos to five of the album's tracks, Disease Is Punishment is pure punk mayhem. The Networks is a mystery wrapped in an enigma- the true identities of the bandmembers are unknown. But Disease Is Punishment reveals what matters most- the energy and power of the electronic, New Wave, Devo-influenced post-punk experience that is The Network. Track Listing:
Transistors Gone Wild
Reto
Joe Robot
Money Money 2020

Summary: best i have ever seen
Comment: I have always wanted to see the network live and this DVD was so flippin' awesome i almost fell out of my chair while watching it in my room. Peole thought that it was fake but i can assure you that it isn't i mean the backing stuff like the echoes and the vocal sounds that are in the backround are not really made by the band but the actual vocals are 100% real. you can tell. listen to the album and then listen to it live. the voice sounds more realistic.

Summary: Just get the CD instead
Comment: SOME of the songs are fine and can all be found on the Network CD, "Money Money 2020" (skip the included DVD sample) however the visuals (if I see one more "Max Headroom" rip off, I am going to puke), including the pathetic costumes sported by an expanded Green Day, are sophomoric in the extreme. Watching these fellas trying to look "dangerous" and "edgy" is just plain embarrassing. It caused a New Wave of revulsion on my part. I guess this is what happens when people have more money than sense or taste. If you want to stay a fan of Green Day, DO NOT EVER watch this sad DVD.

Summary: Yes it's live... and not.
Comment: Having been lucky enough to be at the concert at the Key Club contained within the DVD, I can assure everyone that the performances here were indeed live and in front of a packed house. That said, there is non-concert footage interspersed within the show- my guess is 'dress-rehersal' footage shot to add additional angles, etc. to the final DVD. Pretty obvious when you notice 2 different hats on Van Gough during one 3 minute song... but so what? Although it results in the occasional 'lip-sync' look mentioned in an earlier review, his in no way lessens the fun- and I can tell you first-hand that the soundtrack is as heard the night of the show- a sonic blast! Highly recommended!

Summary: This is fakery - Not a live recording
Comment: I'd really like to know what The Network sounds like live. This is nothing more than an exercise in flim-flammery. They (an expanded Green Day) have taken the recorded tracks from the album, and remixed them to a more live, punchy, reverby sound. Of course, with Green Day's years of experience making music videos, the effect is expertly rendered. Don't be fooled, though. Look at how the vocals don't miss a breath when the mic is further away. (Ashlie Simpson much?) Notice how the guitar sounds are completely studio-sounding. Notice how the audience shots are of a very select group of people in the room, and they really look like they're in on the hoax. As much as I love the CD "Money Money 2020", I'm disappointed in this being presented as a live performance. It is not. I give it three stars for the quality of the songs.

Summary: Amazing
Comment: This is one of the best music DVD's I've ever seen. The performance is perfect and it's visually stunning. It's not packed with extras, but what's there is more than worth the price.
