I think it's because it doesn't have that finished glossy quality that everyone is used to in music videos, it's not polished, still a little rough cut quality almost like a home made video type, I don't know if that was used purposely or not though...maybe to match the "Million Ways" homemade video style? Was this ever officially released as a final music video?
I don't think it has been yet, but I could be wrong. I just happened to stumble across it at the Juggling Club forums on a thread halfway down the page, and I went
I thought I wasn't going to like this video, but after seeing the whole thing (and not spazzy little segments), I decided I like it after all.
Me neither.
A not because it's un-polished. The rapidly moving camera is annoying. It made me want to turn the video off. Which I did.
I saw it a couple of times on Much Music (Canadian Music Channel) ... I've requested it plenty as well but they never play it for me...
that is because much music sucks now, the vjs suck, and they've become too much like mtv which is not a good thing. we should stage a hostile takeover and make them play ok go goodness all day long.
We totally should!!! Vive le Ok Go resistance!
Matte is ok... hes totally hilarious sometimes... but Devon the human contradiction annoys the hell out of me.
could some one re upload that please...the link is blocked
i'll upload it and post a link on tkn for you later tonight...
thanks

Yeah. I don't care if it's not polished. It's just spastic, annoying, and boring. I don't like videos that only show the band playing--I like videos with a concept and I can't find one in this video.
maybe you'll get a diff affect when you see it on tv...maybe not
I really don't like the video. It makes me feel nauseous and I feel like Damian is trying too hard to look good. He looks good naturally, he doesn't need to smirk and give the camera bedroom eyes every shot. *shrugs* I don't know, it annoyed me, I guess. I think all their previous videos are much better.
And it's funny you all hate the girls that dance up with him...my friends and I were talking and suspect one of them may be his girlfriend. I mean, why not, right?
at first i was all "omg me feel sick"
now im all
"omg me feel sick but this rocks"
I thought I saw a picture of his girlfriend once and she looked ubercool and had cute short hair and was dressed not-at-all slutty.
But I can't think of where I would've seen such a photo, unless it was around here. So I'm probably just imagining things.
at first i felt like vomiting, as most of you did, but i think thats kinda cool direction since its just a music video. if it were a movie or something, i think i would die. but yeah i also thought it was a little "all damian all the time".
at first i was all "omg me feel sick"

"omg me feel sick but this rocks"
Yeah, that was the same with me. When I was watching the clips before we found this full-lenght version I was like, "Ehhh, not so much" but now I really like it.
But I'm with Rocky and bettyNLBboop on "all Damian, all the time"/"honey, you're hot enough without trying to look it all the time" sentiment. I love the smirking...but it would have been a lot better if had appeared less conscious of his sexiness. That's something that my friend pointed out at the last concert we went to, too....
(I know, you guys have all been dying to hear my opinion
I don't think that the video really feels like OK Go. In my mind, their charm, wit and sense of humor are what set the 'Go apart from other bands. And I don't really see that in this video. There are some good moments, definitely, and on one level it's flashy, pretty, and fun, but overall I just don't find it their most compelling work. For me it doesn't compare to any of the other videos they've done--I can contentedly watch The Making of Oh No, GOI, and YSDH over and over (the "other" DWYW, too, especially when Dan chunks the rock into the creek, it makes me laugh every time), but I just don't feel that way about this one.
I also agree that there is a little too much Kulash. I kinda wish he'd forego the smirk in favor of a little more smile, cause he's got a great one.

I agree. Though part of my brain is continually entertained by the moving camera (I'm seriously a fucking cat... something moves and I'm like "WHAT WAS THAT!!!!11!!1!omfgzors").
I liked the "original" DWYW far more... mostly because, like Poison, I couldn't get over that rock throw along with the boys running across the landscape/falling through the snow. I don't know; maybe it'll grow on me more...
