Album Notes

WHAT? YOU SAY YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE CONSORTIUM OF GENIUS?!??! The maddest masters of metallic mayhem? The rip-roaringest researchers in rock'n'roll? Those preternatural purveyors of prankish punk and pop music?

Well, it's no surprise... THEY probably want it that way! How better to subversively achieve their endlessly backfiring goal of TAKING OVER THE WORLD than to quietly... errr, LOUDLY lurk in the musical shadows since 1996? But no longer. For with the release of this DVD, there finally exists documented proof of the continuing threat of this trio [quartet if you count the robot] of evil geniuses:

Dr. Pinkerton, the leader, lead vocalist, and self-proclaimed next ruler of the world...

Dr. A Pentatonic, the habitually inebriated scientist of uncertain qualifications, who lays down the monster-sized slabs of guitar powered electricity...

Dr. Z, the funky-fresh middle-eastern man whose full name is unpronouncable by most western tongues, and whose bass waves resonate across five continents...

and Drumbot, the smart-alecky video-robotic creation of the C.O.G.... whose impeccable drumming keeps the beat going strong all night long!

All the crimes of the Consortium of Genius are documented here... from the earliest threats of world takeover broadcast from their Secret Lab back in 1997, to their latest music videos and commercials (thinly disguised attempts at mind control if you ask me!)

In any case, the very fact that you're still reading this indicates that you're either completely disgusted or thoroughly intruigued, so what have you got to lose? BUY THIS DVD NOW!!!

REVIEWS

Entertaining, but technically flawed
author: Brian Rogers
I liked it. The music was good, and the artists have great showmanship. People who like the Consortium of Genius should enjoy this. The only problem I have is technical. During the C.O.G. vs. The Phantom story, track 2 is completely skipped. In order to view it, you have to rewind the DVD to just after it starts, making sure not to go too far and have it skip again. Serious flaw, I think. And the Phantom story makes no sense, but they admit that in the commentary. It was just thrown together at the last minute with various clips. The concert itself was pretty good, though.
