This is quite possibly one of the most chillingly powerful videos ever made.

Nice character design & FX. Its kind of like Dire Straits "Money For Nothing" video in its design but alot more sinister & rounder & in washed out sepia tones. That's the only part of the video I really like. Some cool transitions between live action & animation. Its got a nice slick presentation & look but the "point" of the video has been done before.

Not a problem. Just have to be more a boards addict to remember.

Anyway, yah, I like its look & style, if anything about the video is its pretty cool. But I don't think its exactly monumental and earth-shattering stuff. Nice opening, though.

Its a neat looking video. But the song is fucking dreadful and really took away from it. (And no, I'm not saying that because of the lyrical content. I'm just talking about how plodding and boring it is. Way below par for Eminem.)

I disagree, I think the tone of the lyrics, the deadpan delivery, and the dark synths really send a message of absolute anger and revolt that only Eminem can embody. It plays completely on Eminem's forte of being able to incite a crowd on a very personal level that appeals to some base urge to overthrow those in power who fail to represent the common people. I listen to very, very little rap but I applaud Eminem's efforts. And the music itself has no melodic and musical redeeming characteristics, other than the pure atmosphere that it is intending to create. And in that regard, it rocks.

i agree that the song and video aren't bad but are subpar and could've been better, but when you consider you have possibly the biggest artist right now (definitley more influential right now than anyone on bruce's tour) putting out a track with this kinda content and exposing the media's lameness big-time in their censoring of it... like bryan adams said, ain't no use in complaining.

are you sayin MTV ain't playing it? (whoa, descended into ghetto speak there for a second. Anyway). That's kind of odd, considering how "Rock the Vote"/ "Vote or Die" they are. (aka. "Democratic whores")

i believe BET is the only channel that dropped it.

i'm not sure if it's the most chilling or powerful video ever, but it was pretty good.
i got chills when that soldier got re-assigned to iraq, though.

what's the point? it should have been released weeks earlier, if not a month or two.
