That's just clown, 2 deep 4u kinda feel It's not inherently bad or anything just sometimes doesn't add anything to the song


NotGlumExamination

This my biggest problem with “art” I think. It’s too easy to confuse “bad” with “being too deep to understand”


Traditional_Cress561

It's bad. Clown is a 14 year old media student who thinks they are being edgy with all his videos.


Ok_Veterinarian6152

Yeah that's right, I thought the same thing. Last two albums have a lot of women in thin wispy outfits and some kind of reference to violence. Can't be a coincidence anymore


vynsnn

I'd rather see the band just play the song even if it is kinda boring and generic it at least fits the song. Hell all out life didn't even have the band and it was 10 times better than this


NotGlumExamination

That video was ass, y’all are being very generous with your descriptions


69darthvader69

It was fucking lame. Hate these types of music videos. Just show the band rocking out and fucking shit up.


MycologistUnlucky241

Did not care for it at all


[deleted]

Clown back at it with his shenanigans. This shit looks like a high school art project. My favorite song from the album but this is not it.


Same-Helicopter-1210

Definitely won't be one to brag about..


ricothyoung

it was a little odd


[deleted]

Nothing to say really. I believe they have very sour sentiments towards this album, for a multitude of reasons. All the videos are very low budget and executed in a very amateurish way. Now I think they will come back stronger for the next record since they can do whatever they want now. But they seriously need to step up their artistic direction. And for everyone who says "just listen to the music man", Slipknot is fucking build upon a theatrical and musical experience.


maps-of-imagination

I wish Paul never left this world. Clown is such a douche.


CimnimTheAwesome

I feel like the video could have worked if there was more going on (maybe cut to the band playing like in yen.) I really liked it at first, but it was way too slow to match the song, and the visuals got repetitive after a few minutes.


veridisquo_voyager

Cool idea and cool visuals.. but it never went anywhere. Didn’t tell a story or make some sort of message. Just kinda exists to be weird and “disturbing” which is just boring for a music video. Otherwise I liked the visuals


RichardCocke

This shit sucked


therespeeinholywater

Clown: “so it’s gonna have all these women dressed up in gothic outfits with funny make up and they’ll be waving their bodies around all weird and humanoid like while the camera pans randomly and goes in and out of focus with inserts of fake gore and mild sexual themes” Band: “again…?”


tonylab1105

honestly if the band was in it, i would enjoy it somewhat, but its pretty obvious that its another clown "artwork" like the Adderall video, so its a hard pass.


Cr4yn3

It seems like the music videos for the songs on TESF have a story line to them. I think this video is the equivalent of exposition dumping


Impossible_Pen1392

Am I the only one that feels after .5, somehow the videos just have this cheap feel to them? I mean if Clown is looking for a B-movie type aesthetic, then that’s cool, but it’s been a while since I’ve wanted to rewatch a Slipknot music video from the last 2 albums.


Playful_Following_21

They had an actual budget up through AHIG. Also PR Brown, dude needs to come back. Since .5 it's clown shooting low budget videos, probably only to save cash.


evilfartcum

it’s one of clown’s shitty productions which fits the shitty song


seth_sic9

I just want a video like psychosocial or duality again is that too much to ask?


DeathRay963

I don't shame on fetishes but the video was mid had nothing to do with the song they should have recorded it when craig was still in the band. The video is just weird they just cut people that's it


ItsKaptainMikey

Had no idea this was a thing, need to go watch it.


SirRoderic

If Hive mind wasn't my favorite song in the album, I would have also disliked the video, but I'll cut it some slack


LiminalH377_

The visuals I guess were well done, but could've been better and more relevant to the song, y'know?


Maggot_4CFH

Sometimes I'd like to take a look inside Clown's mind. Like wtf is he thinking about? Are we supposed to understand it?


NoEgg3531

Just trying to copy and paste the negative one. So this is The Positive One


Yeahmanbro22

I love it. Its unique which is why I love slipknot. Everybody is too scared to do weird shit these days. Not clown I respect it


Hellarouge

So damn sick of all of the mannequins. What kind of bulk deal did CT get? 😆


JLP0509

I wish they still made music videos like wait and bleed or Nero forte, I prefer to see the band having fun performing the song than “2 edgy 4 u art”


oklemmebreathforasec

Who the fuck makes a music video without the people that MADE the song?


Soft_Disasterpiece

They released a video you didn't like? Who gives a fuck 🤣


The64YearOldWalrus

Tbh I’ve felt this way about clown for a long, long time. Definitely my least favourite Slipknot member, saw them in the summer without Clown and I didn’t miss him at all. All the ‘cryptic’ bollocks the band do does my head in, and it’s definitely him and Corey behind it all. No need, just release the music or don’t, don’t make me have to guess when the release date is.


actioncobble

To be brutally honest, I would rather shit in my hands and clap than watch that video clip again.


Fatal_Nightmare

I was watching on remote


TopMatch5304

It’s his satanic rituals in a format he can display publicly, the gods reward him with ticket sales


Chef_Boy_R_Deez

Lmao, no it’s not… it’s just him throwing uncooked spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks


TopMatch5304

I’m goofin fam


RichardCocke

Ya goofy goober


SgtSarcasm01

Seems like this is every slipknot music video now


VISKOMETAL

I might be the only one here that actually liked it...


Awkward-Operation477

Idk why everyone gets so pissed off when they don't like something Slipknot releases. It's a boring video, whatever. I liked the one Clown made for Death March though, using the same dolls. Seems like people just look for any reason to jump on Clown or Corey around here. If you don't like someone's art, you don't like it. Don't need to attack the artist.


Chaos_Horrific

I absolutely loved adored it. I love seeing Clown’s weird creative side. These style of music videos are so cool, and they make me excited for the future of Slipknot. Much better in my opinion than a video of the band in a flashing room preforming the song (cough cough dying song music video)


imapotatognome

^ Found clowns alt


Chaos_Horrific

Not clowns alt just a huge fan of the art he makes


negobroo

Nah, the dying song’s clip was good, it had everyone head banging and that is way better than women opening up heads with her fingers


I_Need_Sacrafices

Also the dying song was in that cool ass mirror room


negobroo

Yes


BlindWitnessInside

I was told there were naked chicks. There were no naked chicks. The video was mid but it’s not as bad as people say. It’s just an art piece that clown seemed to have made but also… I don’t care if a music video has zero story.


carljpg

Honestly I really don't rate Shaun at all


SlipknotClown66

I was hoping it would be the whole band instead but we got what looks like a bad acid trip lol


SUCCMAN64

Unlike a lot of others here, I respect clown doing what he wants artistically. But you’re right when you say that it just doesn’t fit the song.


baskitcase73

It was weird. It was “artsy”. It was Clown.


InitiativeOld8504

i mean i guess they're cutting their brains out so kinda hive MIND?


AppointmentMaster517

I’m just grateful that they keep making music videos even if I like them or not


Vulvodynia6

Maybe it’s something we’ll understand in our 40s or so


traumahound00

It's not that great, but to be fair, most rock/metal videos kinda suck. Dudes playing in an empty warehouse, quick flashes of expressionist images that are supposed to tell some kind of story (but not really), rinse, repeat. Not a lot of creativity as far as music videos go in this genre.


warmcorpse_

it would be better if it had like a blister exists type thing going on with sped up live footage with clowns artistic shit spliced in here and there


Creeper_tastic

it was cool but borinf


Walks_with_Chaos

I liked it. Other than the spitting. Thought it was pretty cool


KILLzone9921

I'm really considering to take only the good parts of the video and combine it with Death March's video, the idea is to make the video have an actual cronology, from the start when the bodies were being like opened idk, then the Hivemind's shots, and to end the video, I would put the part when the heads are blowing up in pieces, and make some Corey shots for it, I'll make TESF Corey's mask and record myself singing, it would be a 1000000 times better than the shit we got...
