Many descriptions and reviews on the internet are misleading about the content of this Vicarious DVD, and for that reason I didn't purchase it until recently. What a mistake to wait! This DVD is essential for any Tool fan and an excellent find for anyone who likes the surreal, psychedelic, and strange. The main feature of the DVD is the Vicarious short film, which is Tool's first completely CGI video. Adam Jones and Alex Grey are the two main artists behind the video, and it's a really cool experience to see their ideas merge. Anyways here are the full DVD contents:
1. Vicarious music video (9 minutes)
2. 2 overdubs of the music video with actor/comedian David Cross making hilarious commentary (18 minutes)
3. Vicarious documentary (40 minutes)
4. Footage of the storyboards from Alex Grey and Adam Jones (1 minute)
5. Footage of Alex's art gallery COSM and him talking about it (4 minutes)
Rating: 8/10
