It's high time highways came back to music videos. This video is slightly darker than I expected

This looks more like a test for something great.. hopefully something great will follow soon... the characters look amazing in 3D but the direction and narrative are a bit wobbly.. even for a promo.
Like the tune tho.. :)

dull like colt seavers and other route 66 races plus that deep sea escape option. gorillaz will appeal to them teenage emos though. again

I pretty much detest 'celebs' popping up in music videos and I'm not a massive Gorillaz fan, but I do like this track - excellent driving bassline and Bobby Womack's vocals are superb. To their credit, Gorillaz are always trying to innovate, like him or loathe him Damon Albarn is a supremely talented guy.

shame they couldn't get the lipsync right. presumably just an issue with the vimeo upload?

Like the song and I'm not normally a big fan of Gorillaz. Video's fun - good ol' Brucie! But don't think they needed the FX shots of dark clouds/Death and weird whale at the end. Car chase/Bruce Willis/3D characters - what more do you need?!

#Nicholas- I got the impression they were pressing all the buttons on their computer shouting 'Oh god...look what this one does!' Nice to see Brucie avoiding stereotyping by driving a fast red car & shooting a big gun. Has anyone seen the Ok Go vid- it's that Honda Rapper Delight thing that evvvvvvvvveryone did ages ago- but it's the best application of the idea I've ever seen.

People who make those videos are genius. I watched the video that they made for The Beatles rock band launch and I loved it.

The video suffers from the song being weak. The video has no energy to play with.

Gotta say the deluxe edition of the new album looks amazing!
