Iridescent Music Video Options

[Dmitry]

From Joe Hahn on Facebook: "I present to you our new music video for "Iridescent," from the movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The video explores how human existence might be affected by the elements of Transformers robots and the threat of the Decepticons. What would it be like to be citizens in a decaying universe? I tried a lot of new things here, and we had a lot of fun shooting it. Hope you enjoy."

What do you guys think about the video?

Wow, this really sucks.

I'm sorry. Even though I love the old LP, and was a bit dissapointed by MtM, I think ATS is really great. Different, but really cool.

But when I see the videos I can only say that the LP vids have become a huge let down. HT & Meteora had great and perfect videos. The MTM videos where okay. Not that good, but you can see the videos quite a few times. Now we have the ATS videos, and in my opinion they are far beyond terrible. Look at The Catalyst: amazing song, but they ruined it by that faggy video. Same for WftE and BitS. And now again they raped Iridescent.

Why the hell is this? I hope this was the last vid, because they ruined those songs for me. If they do the same with other good songs like When they come for me and Wretches and Kings, I might be done with this album. Not because the songs are bad, but because they destroyed my image of the songs.

Great:

One Step Closer (2000)
Papercut (2001)
Crawling (2001)
In The End (2001)
Points of Authority (2001)
Somewhere I Belong (2003)
From the Inside (2003)
Numb (2004)
What I've done (2007)
Shadow of the Day (2008)
Leave out all the Rest (2008)

Average:

Points Reanimated (2002)
Faint (2003)
Breaking the Habit (2004)
Bleed it out (2007)

Bad:

New Divide (2009)
The Catalyst (2010)
Waiting for the End (2010)
Burning in the Skies (2011)
Iridescent (2011)

This is my opinion, it's not meant to offend anyone who does like New Divide for example. But you can see the stagnation in video-quality in the years.

Most of their music videos aren't that great to me because they don't hold a story with the song. On that note, I think Michael Bay rubbed off on Joe Hahn in terms of no content, pure special effects. The special effects are fucking awesome though, so I'm content. Music videos with a story died a long time ago, so that's not LP's fault. They are just trying to get attention from all the arrogant hipster kids and I think this will do so, considering all people talk about these days is how "good something looks".
