Quite an interesting concept for a video, that, I'm surprised it hasn't been done before. An advertistement for the whole campaign, really, the album, the single, the tour, the reunion. Kinda clever.
How can people juddge if they like the music ... if most of the music is obscured by people talking about how the new band isn't shit?
if I were coming to this fresh, I'd think two things
a) the verses are rubbish and not worth listening to and b) boy, that band really do have a chip on their shoulder and want you to know a handful of people* think they are quite good.
Shame.
*note : there are many 'repeat customers' in the video : did they only interview 12 people?
Got a love/ hate relationship with that video. Nice to see fans on it, but would like to hear the song all the way through, Don't think it's going to win too many new fans
Thanks Onket. I don't see unthinking praise as a virtue myself. Not saying that anyone else is guilty of that. I just feel that I am allowed to have an opinion which is not always uncritical.
Where I have had a positive opinion I have always been vocal of it. The new album? I love it. The live shows? They sound good and I will get to see one myself in the next two weeks. These reissues? Couldn't ask for anything better, really.
