Unlike what they slapped together for the original, this is respectable from my view. But wow does this kind of drag a little... I think what they could do now is make another cut of this, with the story but add some of the footage from their original video where it was just the band out in the desert and mix it into this version. It would probably be cliched, yet it would look better.
This reminds me of "How To Save A Life" with the two versions, but I can tell you that I prefer this one more no matter wut cuz I hate when artists but political views into their songs. Perhaps they could have added some clips from "Transformers?" ;p
wow! awesome. I love both versions of the video and well the song is one of my favorites of the year! Thank god they stopped making crap like Papercut and Points of Authority
