So many thoughts... the video has been inspiring.
If you watch the documentary (as you probably did), you learn that Adam was intensely adamant that the video actually not sync to the music, except in very dramatic and key moments. Adam gave the guy who's job it is to sync the music to the video a bunch of weird short films he's collected throughout the years, and told him they were along the line of what he was going for - and the guy was a little taken aback. He (Adam) was purposefully aiming for the feel of like a short foreign or art film (as do all their videos).
Don't get me wrong, I think winamp and milkdrop are one of the coolest things humans have invented, but I also understand Adam's take on it. I love the way their videos hypnotically unfold.
