I was surprised that no one commented on the new kata's video
I think its amazing...long overdue material :D and i think its way more "katatonic" than My twin waaa
kewl stuff
*wanders around with a smile in her face*
 
I dunno about this vid. The right feeling was partly there, but it seemed a little amateurish and things just sort of happened in it. A lot of stuff just put together.

Maby if i watch it a few more times..
 
i realy liked the drawed man (the guy in the beginning.. tall thin thing)
but the "real" images just looked... well... look ma, i found this "special effects" button on my camera!!
not bad, but i would have liked it more if the whole video was realy drawn.

but the song itself makes this video one of the best ones ever :)
 
I just saw it! Great fucking video! :notworthy I don't agree that it looks amateurish at all, that's pretty funny by the way, cause many people here on the forum thought that the My Twin video looked too professional! And that's by the same director... I believe the rough look and longer takes on this one is very intentional. I haven't really figured out what it's about though... is he killing himself or not? He looks at the razorblade later in the video, but in the beginning there's a really fast clip of him slicing up his arm... or at least that's what I thought it looked like.... And who's that weird guy following him around? Maybe his "inner demons" mmmooohaaahaha.... It's like he's trying to make him insane or killing him self or something.... walking towards the cross and all... kinda symbolic I guess.
 
I quite like it, but the drawn alien-y looking guy just reminded me entirely of the video for Tool - Schism.
 
I still can't decide for myself if i like it or not... the song itself is so brilliant and one of my favorite ones, so it's like you watch a movie someone did of your fave book. You just saw the different pics in your mind while reading (hearing) it, but another guy has got another view of it, and you just disagree. So I must watch it again and again to catch a right feeling. But it's definitely better than My Twin, and much more "katatonic" indeed.

100% agreed!

I don't think it's bad... but I just don't get the relation in my mind... I somehow had my own "video" in my head... and that one is actually completely different from my one... so watching it is for me like watching something while hearing a song... and not watching something with that song... you know what I mean...
The My Twin vid was better in this case [imo of course] ... but nevertheless it's an interesting piece of art!

Does anybody know when the single will be released in Germany? +.+
 
I was a bit disappointed, as I was worried it may feel a bit lacking in any link to the song..

problem is I find Katatonia tend to sing about very real things, and that video to me was not very "real", maybe i need to see it a few more times but it was very jerky due to the way the artist obviously intended it to be.

The video is jerky and tense however none of the new album feels as tense as that in any way, its perhaps the "smoothest" feeling album I have heard from Katatonia and the video just clashed with Deliberation, and I personally feel at the moment that it looks a bit of a mess..

still its only my opinion, Tool lovers will probably like it.

However My Twin was 10 times better.
 
Once again the fukkin single is delayed in sweden and will not turn up for a couple few weeks, I hate fukkin distributors ;)

Note: The new release date at cdon.com was 2006-08-15 that SuXX :(
 
to me, it reflects perfectly the feeling of the song!

great video, cant wait to see it in a bigger view...much much better than my twin
