JayDubya Not sure how I feel about that. At one point the Trey animation reminded me of these things



Score: 2

TannisRoot Permalink
TannisRoot Im suprised by how much I did not hate that. Animation is cool even though it looks like a wii avatar. I liked the part where the Squid shits out Trey.

I give it a solid B

revjustin I normally wouldn't say something like this, but I have actually appreciated the more "commercial" elements of Traveller and its surrounding elements. Before I get to much further, I should define "commercial". I don't mean selling out. I don't mean pandering to the lowest common denominator. Rather, I am simply referring to the fact that Trey seems to be approaching this album, the tour, and now the music videos with a certain embrace of the more traditional elements of the recording business. For me, it is really just nice to see someone from the Phish camp step out of the Phish-y way of doing things and into a new light. It's not that I don't love the Phish-y way. It is just good to get some new perspective on things you think you know.

A few observations:

The video is f'in bizarre.

At times, anime Trey looks more like Fishman with red hair.

There's a lot of close-ups of Trey's nappy beard, and I think it's a lot thicker in real life.

The trip through the gastro-intestinal system is weird, and is Trey drunk in that stomach?

Trey would definitely not fight a baby hawk, and I think they captured that scenario well.

I love that they got the Ocedoc in there with all its wood grainy goodness.

Pholorado I enjoyed the video it was pretty creative in my opinion.

CornFromAJar Permalink
CornFromAJar Not trying to be overly negative but that video kind of sucked.
I thought it was completely UNcreative.....the animator did nothing but create actions based on a VERRRRRRY LITERAL interpretation of the lyrics.

It had all the creativity & technical prowess of a student video from FULL SAIL.

Just sayin'.....

CornFromAJar Permalink

I love the part with the "bamboo cage" LOL. Whoops.

Dabblesauce ehhh....video was pretty lame....that could have been on MTV to some other bullshit popular song.

DrPeterVenkman Permalink
DrPeterVenkman Yeah, that was really kinda awful.
Score: 0

The_Mollusk Permalink
The_Mollusk Not so good. I agree with @Dabblesauce...why does Trey need a video? Yes, I understand it's another creative outlet, and whatnot, but still why? And, couldn't they have come up with something even marginally better?

Its only saving grace is that Beavis and Butthead made fun of it.

Roofless_Sheds Reminds me of 'Money For Nothing', by Dire Straits.




And also, of a few of those 80's Peter Gabriel videos, like 'Sledgehammer'.
