It's like if the Do The Evolution video and The Fixer video had a baby.

Certainly better than that crapfest of a video we got with The Fixer.

Its very DTEish. Pretty good, just a few too many Ed silhouttes.

Just misses the mark. The band looks awkward. I bet they got bored with too man rakes. But i do like all the projected images and its exciting to me that the band are making some statements.

pretty much!

There should have been less ed dancing and more of what's on the screen behind them.

But I like it! Not at all cringe worthy minus some of eds moves but I think that's been true forever ( though it looks more pronounced cause the rest of em aren't moving as much

I love the bits with the close up on eds mouth through the hole.

Way better than what I was thinking when someone mentioned a video last week.

Can someone please make a gif out of the ed's mouth part "mind your manners"?

Correct! The new Pearl Jam, neither "rebellius" nor sell outs, the indifferent mediocrity.

What were you hoping for/ expecting?

*Pearl Jam fans see animation*

ZOMG it's so DTE!

Man, that video really made me like the direction there taking with this album so far.

I understand Ed sang all his vocals through that cutout glory hole.

if that was a tom waits video you'd think that was brilliant.

Future days is the deep dark funny smelling stain on my hope/optimism.

The verse to LB is also there but its a smaller less annoying stain that I might be able to hide.

very true.

"Tom manages to capture how the world is ending is such a nice and cool way.... Did i mention those cool jumps? "

I didn't like Bad As Me, stippers, and thats a durn record.

Cool video, mediocre song. At least it takes the sour taste of The Fixer video out of my mouth.

It's not a stretch to say it's their best video since DTE (which is NOT a statement that has anything to do with animation...)

darthvedder81 · Post by **darthvedder81** » Fri August 23, 2013 4:45 pm

It's like the DTE video but made with Flash animation.

At this point I think the band is purposely trying to undermine my 19 years of loyal fandom.

Or maybe they are purposely creating lame things now in some postmodern/meta commentary?
