"Waiting for the End" Music Video

Today we premiered the music video for "Waiting for the End." It was an opportunity to experiment with pushing the digital envelope as it pertains to the visual language created thus far for A Thousand Suns. It was my attempt to digitally crush us to the point that you feel the soul of the music through what has become the essence of us. We become the ghosts in the machine. Some may say that because of technology, we lose a sense of who we are. I counter that by illustrating that we can get closer to who we are if we sift through the noise. If this sounds like it's too 'out there,' just ignore what I said and enjoy the pretty pictures. Let me know what you think here.

If you haven't seen it, here's a link.

Love the video Joe, very artistic! This video is seriously amazing. Goes a different direction but definitely captures the new sound visually. I can't wait to buy it and have it on my iPhone. :)

i just cna't understand new album videos, guys... the main complain in my missunderstanding it's like:... when comes most expressive moments, there are almost nothing changing!, especialy un Catalyst!!! than in Catalyst there very less expression of the way of people suffering expressing in a words an music! just running chaoticaly very few people, whom can recognize they are just so rich and goodliving, and that's it! i realy completly don't know is it my right vision, so i hope you, guys will explain it sooner than i will get it my my self.
most of things in videos are realy skyhigh awesome and unseen awesome before!

Joe: Your description of the video is sum'd up very well. Very epic lighting and colors fit the mood and meaning behind the song. Personally one of my favorites so far. Well Done!

I said something on Ping that i think would make sense, once you guys wrap up singles/videos for this album, A DVD release of some kind for all of your videos after the Pancake dvd should be released. With commentary, extras and all that other awesome stuff!

Love the new video Joe. It's so different from anything else out at the moment.

I also found the penultimate sentence of your message hysterical.
