Would be nice to see a bit more options than just the two extremes :i.

Was good, not great.

I've voted "no". Very unusual - I love Michael Sheen and can't deny he's the best out of a poor bunch but I doubt this'll be the highlight of his CV.

Also, I've only seen it once but it makes me wonder why it took 10 days to be released after they finished it! It's not as bad as any of the Autumnsong videos, thankfully but it'll probably get people's attention for the long kiss (which is probably what they wanted).

The official video can go and fuck itself. In slow motion.

Biggest waste of talent and money ever. This is how to make the song bearable.

Like the video although it does play a little like an erectile dysfunction video. The message of the video could read "Take one Wire a day and put the zing back in". Is it a wind up that Nicky moves the bishop before they snog?

I voted 'Dunno' but really I think I do know, it was just kind of okish IMHO.

I'd liken it to those Disney dubs of Ghibli films in a way, not terrible as dubs go and I'm pleased to have the star names attached, but didn't really do the source material justice as far as I'm concerned.

Nicky and Michael Sheen in the same video, how can it not work for me?

I liked it. I've been dragging my feet on other things this week, but the video is a hit for me.

Watching that was the first time I thought the song sounded absolutely brilliant! Something wrong with me?

It's bizarre. But then, most Manics videos are. I'm not particularly bothered by their videos though...

That's great, and works surprisingly well.

I voted yes, because I found it initially quite dull and then just strange. Which is a result in my book!
It would have been better if Nicky had got up at the end and carefuly arranged all the big sticky chess pieces on the wall to match the new formation on the chess board.

Fantastic! I actually genuinely prefer it.

I agree with Porco, all the tools but not much execution
