"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.

I didn't know what to think at first, but it grew on me very fast. You are an excellent director with a style all your own. Would love to see a sequel to The Seed! But awesome video for a terrific song!

I love the video and the fact that, like the song, it was unexpected but completely compatible with the sound and the lyrics. I cant wait for the next video and Im kind of hoping it will be for blackout.

THE VIDEO IS SIMPLY AMAZING...that aside,

Joe, I think the video is very artistic and meaningful. It showed a lot of stuff that makes you wanna look back from the beginning to see it again and figure out what that "stuff" symbolizes. And yes, the soul of the music is certainly visualized as you've said. As an artist, I got great eye for detail so I noticed what you're trying to portray and show us here..maybe lol.

To me you're trying to say through the video that people and machines aren't a bad combination as some has claimed it to be, they say one loses oneself in the chaos of the internet, tv, mobile phones, video games etc.. But then you showed us that we can still find ourselves despite losing ourselves in the modern world of high technology by sorting through it all and listen to our own voices inside. OH GOODNESS I'M GETTING CONFUSED OF WHAT I JUST TYPED lol. MAJOR HEADACHE.. ANYWAY! that's what I think. Go figure

And Joe, you're a creative visionary. Both you and Mike and Chester are great artists that sees more than what normal people tend to see, you dig deeper. I admire Linkin Park's passion for their music too. I wish you all the best and I hope that one day we could meet and share our thoughts on things, that would be awesome. I'm a Perfectionist like you! we'd get along just great..and fight just as great when we don't agree on something lol
