Loading too damn slow for me, but from the 30 seconds that I could get to load, it looks amazing.

I agree with BVD. The buffering is painful, but it looks awesome so far.

Better than Constant Motion and A Rite of Passage videos, that's for sure.

Loved the Dark City theme going on. Otherwise, it was OK. Not as good as Wither, but certainly better than many others. The close-ups of James were a bit strange, but maybe it's just because I feel like I'm so familiar with him.

It's faster on the Yahoo Music page linked in the text.

That's a pretty cool video. I found JLB in sunglasses and with a leather jacket a little bit weird, but other than that, I was satisfied.

Yeah, that was first feeling when JLB came out on a stage during show wearing that. And then he said that "We are shooting a video tonight!" ;) haha, made in Poland  :metal :metal Thank You DT ;)

I think the live footage was taken from 3 or 4 shows, but can't find the source at the moment.

Definitely better than Constant Motion and ARoP. Still not quite as good as I think it could have been. Overall, its fine. Not spectacular, but also not bad, just fine.

I was getting kind of tired of the song after listening to it so much, but the video helped reaffirm my appreciation for it. I never noticed how tiny MM looks behind his kit! They should've stuck to higher angles :P

I thought that was pretty cool.  Like it! Glad they didn't shorten it to 5 minutes.

Dude, I loved the Rite of Passage video.  In fact, I think it is DT's best.  It actually has a theme in addition to some very cool scenery.

The images of JLB singing on those buildings make him seem like some kind of authoritarian dictator, hahaha.

The only thing that struck me as kinda...I dunno... Off, was the buildings collapsing. Kinda reminded me of the towers.

...isn't that the point? Sort of reflecting on the themes, no?

in this day and age i don't see why people partner up with these websites who chose to stream the video at such a low bitrate, looks and sounds not as good as it should in 2011... waiting on a HD version. Seems cool enough so far though

I thought the theme of the lyrics was the big companies slowly choking the small ones/investors to death. Basically the economic crisis as a whole, hence why some of the pictures depict burning money, for example.

Nice vid, had a chuckle at Petrucci emotionally blasting out the LaBrie backing vocals.

Are you jesting to imply your distaste for those clips, or are you genuinely unaware of their existence? The AROP one is pretty good for DT. It even has post-apocalyptic fun flakes!

No I genuinely didn't know that they made videos for these songs. I'll have to check them out.

Yeah, I guess I just kind of link totalitarian society with monopolization.
