not putting a poll on this because u can't give it a "I LOVE IT" or a "I HATE IT" so its going to be scores out of ten instead

well i think its pretty ok, it could have done with some aliens and shit but it dont matter, its like a force that cannot be seen is what the main guy is trying to prevent, he also seems to be possessed by the band

all in all the bit that i think is best is the build up to the final beats, everythings flashing, thats when the boys make an appearance and there are ants everywhere.

i think we, as the fans were expecting alot from all this, and my personal opinion says we did, but i know many will disagree with me here.

but yeah the video is pretty good i'm gonna say 7 out of ten because i love the build up part near the end, everything before that is kinda boring, theres not much story in this video


also sound wise the only changes that were made were at the end, the main leads octave gets higher by one then the big beats come in and bang its finished

on a final note... i could see this on the music channels, its not too bad but idk maybe the dead animals and shit would make people angry, nah smbu still gets played, this will be fine, its good enough to be played on most of the channels, not just kerrang or somthing, could see this on Q and MTV very easily

i think IMD and its video are basicly one for the younger newer fans, not necessarily for to perswade people to become fans but maybe the fans who got into them around 05 and stuff, its not a rave tune

I like it, it goes really well with the track and the music makes a lot more sense now. 8-) 8-)


My quick interpretation:

Relight the fire with the all important ant. :twisted:

Other pretenders to The Prodigy's throne are the invaders and the ant is everywhere basically saying don't mess with the best. Enticing them out of the sea with the fish heads on sticks and nets and saying we will destroy you. Obvious older Prodge imagery in there OOS, VP, Breathe etc.
We have been locked away but now we are back to kick your arses.
Luvverly. March On.

8.5/10

8-)

Don't know if that is what it's about but it was what I first thought of.

It's got a great build-up compared with the video, ruff locations, and nice use of symbolics with the ant logo.
Can't exactly tell what the video is about, but there is enough inspiration to fit in a story for yourself. 8-)

10 out of fucking 10.

8/10 it lacks the speed.needed a different edit or montage whatever is called.the best part is at the end after things are speeded up

i agree. 10/10.
i was afraid they'd show some people dressed as aliens or something shooting with hokey ray guns.
this video feels like it was shot in the firestarter era and somebody recently got ahold of it. there is a great message, some nice symbolic and funny little details.

Just watched it for the first time, i like it, its grimy, lot of hidden bits from the past that only the big fans would notice.

Love the constant symbolism of the ant. Its one thing they've been associated with since 95 so kudos to them for keeping it at the forefront.

It gets a 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Loses points for not showing the band more though.

yeah well it seems so far the video was a sucess.


the only two bad bits we have are:

too slow
little footage of the boys

could be a hell lot worse, im happy with it
