Stroopy121 1536 Report post Posted February 28, 2012 Typaically ridiculous, nothing less than I'd expect from Ascension!Really like the tune, the video is hilarious, particularly the moody strutting into the warehouse at the start - but I think the same about just about any music video that isn't a bit of a pisstake.Shot really well, only real critisism is that the sections with the camera looking down the neck could have been timed better so that you could see more going on during them, as it is a lot of the fretwork feels like it's just out of shot.Looking forward to giving the record a spin though, you planning to do a couple more videos for singles from it?xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alkaline 1607 Report post Posted February 28, 2012 I quite enjoyed the song and the video's alright as videos go. I didn't like the bass "solo" or whatever it was supposed to be.The song itself is well recorded, played, sung etc and the production is very slick. You guys must be pretty stoked with the end product. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain America 670 Report post Posted February 28, 2012 I'm not sure if it was just youtube or the embedded player but it looked like the video was a pretty significantly out of sync. Especially at about the 1:40 - 2 minute mark doesn't look like the singer is singing when he should be...Agree with Alkaline the bass solo thing is horrid. The video and song are well produced so grats, it's just not my thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

funky_peanut 4 Report post Posted March 8, 2012 Lol it's almost like a prerequisite is that everything MUST have a solo..that bass thing threw me and it was just too OTT on the technical playing for me, personally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teabags 2632 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 The video looks completely out of sync when it focuses on the drummer at around the 2:00. That could well be youtube that fucked it up though.Other than that, its an ok video. And well done on the album. Not my thing in the slightest though.
