Review

In the good old days, most rock home videos (we're talking pre-DVD -- remember that era?) were either solely comprised of a live show or a collection of a group's promo videos. But somewhere along the line, bands got wise to the fact that combining both together -- and adding interviews and behind-the-scenes bits -- made for more interesting viewing. A fine example of this potpourri approach is the first ever DVD release by Underoath, 777 (whose release date comes mighty close to being 7/7/7 -- July 17, 2007). Featuring footage shot during several different tours around the globe, you get close-up looks of the band signing autographs and meeting fans, all the videos from 2006's breakthrough Define the Great Line, a "making of documentary" for the "You're Ever So Inviting" clip, and oh yes, also live footage (including a "Myspace Secret Show"), which confirms that the group is quite an energetic bunch of lads on-stage. If you're a loud and proud admirer of Underoath, then 777 will make for some mighty fine viewing. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi

777 is the first DVD by American Christian metalcore band Underoath.[2][3] It was released in the United States and other countries on July 17, 2007 with the intention of having the numbers of its release date coincide with the DVD title.

The DVD is split into three sections: "Moments Suspended in Time"; the "MySpace Secret Show", which was played in St. Petersburg, Florida; and a music video section. The three music videos included are the final products of Underoath's video shoot in Skellefteå, Sweden with Popcore Films.[4] The making of the music video for "You're Ever So Inviting" is exclusively recorded on the DVD as well.
