It is a cheap looking effect. I liked the part with the cards

I like the idea of it, but the movement does look a little ridiculous.

I dig the idea of this, and it is nicely shot for the most part, but it didn't fully come together for me.


Platy's Zach Synder reference was pretty apt

I think it definitely could be better, it could have benefitted from a couple more "drafts" or whatever you call it if it's a video; for me a lot of it's being carried by the content, which is right down my alley as a card-reading pagan witch and a fan of Greta, and the way "clairvoyance" and the blood moon is carried forward from the album is superblood wolfcool

the aesthetics are carried out well enough, the concepts and symbolism are great, for me

I've always liked the song. I dig the video too. Not my favorite video, but I don't hate it. Reminds me of some of the scenes from Waking Life.

I thought the guy was David Duchovny at first.

What is the “message” behind all the other album titles in the neon lights?

Gotta hand it to Pearl Jam, they’re not afraid to run off the PHATJ’s of their fan base by doing something like putting Greta Thunberg in their video.

I don't think this looks anything like Zack Snyder's work, it was just a cheeky response to Harmless's "how can something look stunning but be cringy" remark

It was also a bit of LV-bait

The effect in the video was used to cover up the overly simple video concept

They aren’t running me off. I don’t care what their politics are. The Greta stuff is dumb, but it’s exactly what I’d expect from them.

I like Bushleaguer too.

i still dont understand why people hate that girl so much. It makes perfect sense for the band to include her.

That video so bad really really bad. The science behind that kind of sea rise is insane. What were they think that was awful.
