The Music - The Spike

[chinguinotas]

Realmente bueno.

A ver cuando se lanzan a Mexico

[him112812]

this is music!

[neillwright]

I agree what a song!!

[jellydrop]

The Let's Go To War remix of this song is superb for dancing

[RalphMarx]

SO Groovy

i love this vid

and this band !

[goombamakker]

Top tune but I don´t like the animated part of the vid. I hope they make a better vid for their next single!

[miseriavolare]

TRON!!!!

[Debneyink]

the extra song is something thats been taking off in promo land: to feature another song from the album at the end, it fitted well with the story of the video ie in an automated electronic world is a false existence (which could represent drug addiction) real utopia lies within our natural selves...

[arthurp1]

Hmmm, i'm not convinced - it just seems to be 'blue-tacked' on at the end, you can hear when it kicks in at 3:39, seems a bit cheap. Much prefer the extra 20 seconds of guitar solo thats in the album version!

[thevellocet]

dreadful video, should have released "drugs".

the music is an amazing live act, the videos need to show that off!

[Debneyink]

my idea was basically that these scientists are soo obsessed (addicted) with what they are doing they dont think of the consequences, they are trying to reach a nirvana, took four weeks all done in 3D max for anyone in to 3D. and no im not on the dole next week. i directed and animated the last two music vids,

[NoReasinWar]

it starts off ok then goes dog shit after the particle collider opens a black hole then it goes all tron. The people look well dated in it. Wheres the band in it too?

[arthurp1]

Does anyone know why they just stick the first minute of 'inconceivable odds' onto the end of this song??? The more i see this video, the more it bemuses me! Particle collider = topical and kind of cool, black hole and tron = gay. Best song on the album though

[rambodeish]

p.s. sex appeal at 18 seconds

[rambodeish]

Hmmm very strange, everyone else's comments about the video being shoddy are kept up but mine......

This video is a disaster. It would be Tron if the bikes didnt do a curve near the end, but even still, what the FUCK were they thinking?

Great song, its my favourite from the album.

Whats with the helicopters in both videos, maybe theres a link and they're trying to bridge reality and 1998 PC graphics, woooooooh..........

[DrMattDestruction]

you see the recent "tron 2" trailer?

the bikes curved in it.

and yes, it's a damn great song.

[rambodeish]

lol no I didn't see the Tron 2 trailer, Tron was enough for me I'm afraid

[shut1tu]

I think it is fantastic that you tube is producing so many good music critics nowadays.NME must be short, shit need to check if this weeks edition will be printed if all the decent critics are on here.

If you dont like the video, dont watch it, or go see them live.....

[shut1tu]

I think it is amazing that you tube produces so many fine music critics, think NME must be strugling if youse are all on here.

If you dont like thge video dont watch it or go and see them live

[vigimael]

It took watching the video to decide whether I like it or not, surprisingly.

And I don't remember the NME ever worrying about good music critics.

[CodyT3212]

It's not THAT bad guys....it might be gay and kind of typical but it's at least decent. A live performance video would have suited it much better though.

[daneash23]

So Lame! The Music's video output has been pretty poor but I love the design of almost all the sleeves (expected a bit more from Saville). They've been let down here, shame.

[cashman1985]

Just heard that there is a Tron 2 coming out soon. Maybe this is related in a way? Quite clever if it is.

Search for Tr2n in google. There are some videos of trailers.

[jkstudios]

I have to agree with 90% of the comments here; great song...disappointing video.

I do vfx and graphics myself, whilst some of the scenes and elements are well made, the execution and direction is atrocious!

A good example is that if you pause at 3.00 in, the woman's eyes arent even centered and focused correctly!

I can almost see what was aimed for here, but it just doesn't work or make sense.

Anyway, it's about (the music)! And that rocks...

[TheJohnson84]

I've got to be honest, while everything they are doing right now seems to be the best of their career, this video has to be the worst.

I quite like Tron, but, what on earth does it have to do with the band, the music, the song!?

The video is like some tech demo for a 2002 graphics card - one that comes bundled with it as if to say "this is what your pc can do!"

.

Saying that, people loved the Californication video... but then again, at least the guys from RHCP were in that...

[Honkeysausage1]

Got to agree with TheJohnson84. Great song, poor video

[OriginOfRaven]

The band bring out the years best album, brilliant b-sides & blistering live performances & get handicapped with this crap. How are new fans going to get attracted when the songs get presented with this self indulgent rubbish. It has nothing to do with the song! Who authorised this? There is time to just release a live performance video, the itunes festival recording would be ideal. This is a disgrace, I hope whoever made this is on the dole next week! The Music don't deserve this

[sheleena901]

tron is actually seen as a very cool and ground breaking movie to those with knowledge

[rambodeish]

I have to agree with everyone the video's shite. It is Tron, which I would piss myself at had the video not been serious. For fuck sake The Spike is immense, but all video plays have just been about irradicated with this crap.

p.s. yas, canny believe so many people admit to seeing Tron!!

[jagtuned]

Absolutely awesome song! p**s poor vid. nevermind can't please us all eh?! rob if your reading please don't let this get to you, keep focusing on the music mate. The Music rock! 110% ha ha!

[wrestlingswede]

At least its not as bad as Bloc Partys new video - that video sucks arse.

[9teen9tys]

I agree, one of the best songs on the album but the video sucks. They should have just used some live footage and it would have been 10 times better.

[matoran866]

This is the worst vid they'd done since the Bleeding From Within vid. The Music have never really done good videos (though I do like the one for Getaway) though I guess that's why they're THE MUSIC and not THE VIDEOS hey?

Of course, it's still a great song.

[DrMattDestruction]

haha, yes.

[viewfromthemadhouse]

Why do comments saying this video isn't very good get deleted? what's the point of having comments enabled if we can't say how we feel? the video doesn't do the song justice.

[donnalady1982]

The Music rock! 100%.

[DrMattDestruction]

needs more cowbell.

when i mean "cowbell," i mean "robert harvey dancing."

[arthurp1]

The song is awesome, except that they cut short the banging guitar solo at the end thats on the album version and just stick the first 20 seconds of 'inconceivable odds' onto the end - bit weird that. Awful cheesy video too. Why do they shoot themselves in the foot everytime?!

[Spikeyhibs]

It's all about the actual music, not the video.

[Poccolus4]

What. The. F***. Was. That?

[fanielsexy]

making videos is not their thing but making songs is what they are made of but they should get someone to make their videos realy

u_u

[AnniePetty]

i definatly hate the actually video because its just super lame, but the song is pretty good. i like it. =]

but uh, make a new video, with you guys actually in it. hahaha

[aliascaplan]

really cool, is it a homage on Tron ? seems like

[dan20rhino]

Video is a strange one, song is a good one

[DrMattDestruction]

tron, particle colliders, and the music.

mmmm.

or is it mmmmm?

or is it the bagel?

[clackdish78]

OMG!!! Sorry guys but this video is awful. Im a massive fan of the Music and have been for years and have enjoyed everything they've done.

This video is poor...was the idea from a TRON fan?!!!

[SwordPlay2]

Oh good lord, whoever had the idea for this video should be fired then stabbed in the face. I love the music to death, but this is just embarassing. They should seriously think about withdrawing this garbage, it could seriously hurt their rep I think. It just makes no friggin sense and doens't represent the music at all!

[ShabeyBambles]

Totally Agree i love the music

BUT the new album isnt them if u know what i mean....

The 1st album is up there with Up the Bracket,Definatley maybe and The Stone Roses.

PLEASE WRITE MORE MUSIC LIKE THE 1ST ALBUM !!!

[TheMusical]

Im with you.

Weakest thing Ive seen.. almost ever.

[pochtistalker]

oh, it looks like a video about Large Hadron Collider

[vigimael]

Ugh. Awful. What's Inconceivable Odds doing there?

[viewfromthemadhouse]

This video is terrible. Oh dear. Whose idea was this?

[secretsignal]

hmmm. good song, great album. not sure about the video though. it doesn't seem to have a point.

[birkett938]

great song. the video is pretty cool aswell. i shall be at the front at leeds fest fingers crossed!!!!!

[HuffyGuitarist]

Awesome. I preordered the signed 7-inch of this.

To be honest I think this video would still be if it was just that robot dancing to the music for four and a half minutes. :D

[ther4tm]

I love this song but the video just makes no sense.

[UCHOOSETV]

wooh first comment!

good song as well!
