Waiting for the End is the newest Linkin Park video. It’s allso the best way to describe how most people feel when they give their new album (and this video) a shot. A more pretentious description by the director, Joe Hahn follows.
“It was an opportunity to experiment with pushing the digital envelope as it pertains to the visual language created thus far for A Thousand Suns. It was my attempt to digitally crush us to the point that you feel the soul of the music through what has become the essence of us.
We become the ghosts in the machine. Some may say that because of technology, we lose a sense of who we are. I counter that by illustrating that we can get closer to who we are if we sift through the noise.”
I do agree with him on one thing. After sifting through the noise whilst watching the video, I got closer to what I truly am: not a Linkin Park fan. See the CGI slideshow video accompanied by some reggae-techno-pop music after the jump.
