i actually quite like the video... seems realistic for lack of a better word

Wow, different than I was expecting, but I definitely like it a lot!

I think this is [EDIT: beyond] retarded.

Oh...

as the Horrible Crowes are an Anglo-American band, I'm pleased to see that this is a British video

So I guess the leaked video was the actual one for Behold the Hurricane.

What do you guys think they're exactly trying to say through the video? I feel like it can get interpreted in quite a few ways...

I like it, it has the feel of an UNKLE style video

YOU'RE beyond retarded.

Okay all joking aside, why don't you like it?
I think it's fucking brilliant. It visualizes everything the song is about.

I really liked it. Not a paticularly fun watch, pretty bleak to be honest but really well thought through and put together, suits the song fantastically. And I love the last shot, it's my favourite bit.

Okay I loved the video - I like that it's more like a short film than a music video.
And, I never thought I'd say this, but I actually don't care that Brian and Ian aren't in it!

The part where the guy is screaming and you see liquid coming from his mouth... I dunno, it's just so raw and vulnerable. I relate. I hope they make more for the album!

Joking aside, I don't like it because it comes across as a film about a mentally ill drifter in need of shower who barks at dogs and wrestles a cartoon demon.

I get that he's supposedly lost his wife and child and that he's distraught (and that the struggle with the cartoon at the end is intended to be symbolic) but I found it overwrought and one-dimensional.

I like how dark it is, reflects the lyrics so very perfectly.

i love the darkness too, life isnt all about happiness!

The video is great. At first I felt a little disappointed Brian and Ian are not in the video....but after I read what Brian told about the video and the reason for them not being in the video, I thoought they couldn´t have turned a better one.

I´ve actually seen this video three times and I guess I like it more than any other video this year.

Wow. Dark stuff.

Hits the nail on the head. Absolutely phenomenal acting.

The grim reaper looked cool until they zoomed out on him and made it look cheesy. Other than that excellent job and I hope we see more videos like this one for the other singles..

This video is absolutely incredible. Like others have said, it seems more like a film than a straight up music video. Totally brilliant!

I have watched it a few times now, and this last time it seemed like the Grim Reaper's face looked like the main actor's face for a second. Is that just me seeing things in my sleep deprived state, or has somebody else thought this too? If that is the case, I think it's hauntingly symbolic of his struggles with his own personal demons and losses, as well as the dark place he is drowning in.

Any word on more videos from Brian and Ian? I would love to see one for Sugar!

I thought he looked familiar.
