New York PostKyle SmithMar 18, 2011
An essential document of bad taste that needs to go right into the time capsule. History must not forget. Read full review

Boston GlobeTerry ByrneMar 17, 2011
If you're a fan of this Lord, find a copy of the 1999 DVD "Lord of the Dance" and don't waste your time with this flat vanity piece. Read full review
