Iridescent Video Now Online - Watch The New Linkin Park Video Here!

I hope the control freaks at Paramount allow this one to be posted on Youtube.

 

muy excellente, i thought of the video

who was the director? i cant wait to see the movie!
i noticed how Chester and Mike have the eyes

 

I like the video and I'm really confused with all these Linkin Park fans! First you were bitching about the new sound and the big changes and now you are bitching cuz they don't change. So I guess Linkin Park should stop making music?! Get your minds straight and realize that these videos are connected and in some ways they have to do something similar and in this case its the dark feeling and the slow motion. Everywhere on the internet LP fans are bitching about something so that brings to the point that LP fans are ....... ?!

 

I love A Thousand Suns and the new sound. I think this video is average at best.

Your argument is invalid.

 

Has no one noticed the visual connection? The songs themselves are the story connection, but the visuals are all reminiscent of the album art and tie most of the videos together. The only one I can think of that doesn't have that same connection is Burning in the Skies, though it did borrow from Waiting for the End with it's ethereal images of the band.

Don't think he should paint people with such a broad brush, yet you are openly saying you will laugh at anyone who doesn't share your point of view. Commence with your laughing.

the video is still working for me

 

I'm not trying to overanalyze the video, but when the band is sitting around the table, it reminds me of the Last Supper.

 

After viewing the video, i have determined some things:

1. Mike still looks

2. I don't hate the video.

3. But i don't like it either even though i found the visuals interesting.

4. I will never warm to the remix and the video as one entity.

5. As a fan who bought the album, already listened to the song and loved it, it is very hard to for this version to appeal to me. Also, i am one of those people who think of all the songs in LP's arsenal, Iridescent is the least of songs that could be paired up with Transformers. They don't go together so much as oil and water don't mix.
Due to that opinion, this video isn't for me nor can i appreciate it.

6. I think its more for the people who are not fans of LP per se or only hear LP's music through singles and music videos so the remix won't be a shocker to them. It's not for the likes of me. Or at least, a fan like me who liked the slowness and buildup of the original.

7. Why couldn't LP and Michael Bay have picked any other song but Iridescent to pair Transformers with? Even Blackout would get my vote easily.

 

This video has Illuminati imagery! Mike's illuminated eyes, that weird LP logo that looks like a pyramid. IT'S ALL THERE!

 

Of course that was intentional. The video would've been awesome if they focused more on that Last Supper scene instead of throwing random shots of the band and robots. The music video could've been centered on that scene with the band member having one last meal together and having a good time before the "end of the world" stuff happens. It would've worked perfectly with the overall theme of ATS. Anyway, I don't much care for music videos and honestly the last LP music I really enjoyed watching was Waiting for The End. I thought that was a different type of music video and captured the essence of that song.

 

I'm gonna be the opposite guy here.
This is my favorite LP music video. The visuals were stunning and I loved the symbols in it (the snake, the litlte thingy symbol thingy whatever-you-call it at the end)

 

Yes the original iridescent mix is better, but i hated that song a couple months back. Till i really started to listen to it differently.
I think they had to use the Transformers mix, cause if i hated it I could bet them new divide YouTube trolls would rip the album mix to shreds.

 

The things is, we know that there is actually hidden meaning in most of these new videos because the band has in some instances said it outright and in other instances implied it. It's not that far fetched for people to see these videos and try to make sense of what they are seeing. My point is that just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there. Furthermore, it doesn't mean that you should laugh at those are trying to make sense of the esoteric and ambiguous.

And it isn't only about the visual effects, but what is actually being shown. Perhaps a different word like "imagery" will help get my point across. The strange artwork from the album has actually been featured in a music video. The void in which Waiting for the End takes place, along with the color correction and overall feel of that void is featured in Burning in the Skies. The strange projected lines and imagery are both in Waiting for the End and in Iridescent. These aren't random connections I'm making up in my head and I'm not saying that these make a plot or whatever, I'm saying that they are visual connection throughout the videos and album that compliment the audio connections. Notice how I haven't stated a reason or a justification for these things, just that they are there.

 

....or maybe they are just music videos.

I've only seen two connections with all the ATS videos: most of them visualize some sort of "apocalypse" going on; makes sense since the album deals with that. The other is that they are in slow mo (then again that goes for almost all they're videos).
