Some questions I would like you to discuss with you;

- What was your first impression?
- Best and respectively worst part of the video?
- Any special effects that gives you a "wow" feeling?
- Any idea of what could have made this video better based on the original concept?

OK, I voted "good". It's their best video so far, but I'm generally not a fan of HF"s music videos as you will notice later.

Anyway, my first impressions: it was the first HF video that I was expecting. I got into HF just before Masterpieces, so no video premieres for me so far. I liked the song, the video was decent.

Best part is the slow motion part of Anders throwing a drumstick, and frankly I couldn't find really bad parts. Maybe the part of Pontus smiling... :P

Question: any special effects that give me a wow feeling? Answer: no. But that's not bad.

This is the only video I think that HF has made that actually has a really good connection with the song itself without being cheesy.

Conclusion: my compliments on this video!

I think it's the best video they did so far!
My first thought was, nice a lot burning stuff and pretty radnom but at 2:25 everything make sense and it isn't radnom anymore!
I love the effects, how the director plays with slow motion effects. It's a permanent stop and go.
The best part is when the town is complete, everything is dark and Joacim walks to the detonator and push it. Bang! Everything explodes again...I love this scene.
Anders is looking really cool when he throws his drumstick. But I also like the part where he has one between his teeth. It reminds me of a cute dog and his bone. :D

I like the video very much. I like the fire and that it helps convey the power of the music well. Joacim seems to have gained a little weight here and actually that is a good thing.

I really like the video, but I don't like the song itself as much, well it's a great song, but I think the chorus somtimes goes to much into repeat mode so I voted good 8-)

The special effects seem pretty well done, the slow-motion effects are nicely timed as well (not really a big fan of slow motion except in comedy but it's acceptable here). The fire and explosions go well with the song, love the timing of the detonator being pushed.
Overall it's good, but it's not my favourite HF song (it's not bad, but I prefer others on that album).

Well, generally, this video is GREAT. :) But it's nothing new. It's not really original, it's somehow very similar to their previous videos. But video itself is very nice, so I voted for "very good" ;)
