this is lol. thanks for posting a link 2 my band anonymous stranger. i think it was a compliment?? dis song is all good, but yeah i dunno i feel like special problems phone it in hardout sometimes. or their ideas are kinda just a bit off. nice cameras though, and god knows they're better than ivan slavov.

Posted by Stacey jones - anonymous 1 month ago

a great example of how lame nz has become. a bunch of cry babies who probably hate bikes being on the roads and spend their weekends in malls

cry me a baby....indie indie indie

Posted by BFF - anonymous 1 month ago

haha, everyone's so serious on these comments, who cares? youse should all listen to flava fm it's way better than this crap

Posted by - anonymous 1 month ago

nah whatevs..as if that's a valid excuse for sounding dated..'oh there's new songs already...just wait til you hear those!'.. and, 'oh these were written last year though' ...so what? Suicide's self titled album was recorded almost a decade before it was released...

This is a 2010 release.

But yeah, totally bring on the new stuff if it's going to be a step forward...this band is hard working in touring ,yes, and their ambition has always been impressive, but hardwork/ambition and creativity don't necessarily go hand in hand, die die die being the case in point.

They're a good band, but don't get too excited.

It look's like someone is making negative comments on some of the other news stories as well. Check out the Girls pissing video or the DDD album review.

Posted by - anonymous 1 month ago

Haha nice. Yes, I think most of the negative comments are down to green eyed, tall poppy types with nothing better to do but scratch their balls under their computer desks.

DDD are the hardest working band in NZ and have been for the past decade. If REID did his music homework he would have noticed these songs were ready to be released in September last year and were written well before then. Infact DDD started recording another album before this one was even released! So to say "they still sound like 2004" is retarded and ignorant. It's unfair when a band has 'old material' that hasn't even been heard yet.

In saying that, I think you'll find it DOESN'T sound like the DDD of 2004, sure it revolves the strict simplicity of guitar, bass and drums but there are lighter more melodic shades that are new and refreshingly DIFFERENT.

Without prattling on I think you should inform yourself before you hurt yourself. Also actually give the album a listen before you decide to be insightful.

this thread is GOLD."I hope their house of cards falls apart in flames" = priceless. can see you sitting there stroking your cat in a dark basement while typing this... and whats that? your mum is screaming your sausages and mash are ready. im sorry your band didnt work out you sound like a great guy.

anyway die! die! die! the video and song and album for that matter are all f**king brilliant. you guys deserve the success this album will bring.

Posted by - anonymous 1 month ago

Video's cool, i like the drawn out long shots, the stock animation in the middle and the male ballet dancer adds a nice subversive quality that plays off the DDD vibe..

Musically, i find the song ok, but really, kind've disapointing. Here we are presented with another batch of DDD songs, once again the same old tricks..They're not BAD, they're good enough i suppose, but this is a band that is close to 10 years old. I was hoping for a little more progression..unfortunately, to me they are still sounding like 2004.

Posted by Reid - anonymous 1 month ago

love this. haha

"They've slandered every band they have seen as a threat from day one & that is how they have gotten to where they are. This has stopped some potentially good bands from developing so f**k them I say. I hope their house of cards falls apart in flames." - is this actually true? my friend told me that 2

Posted by - anonymous 1 month ago

This comment thread is EPIC!

Posted by Fred - anonymous 1 month ago

f**k that, it's great that people have can have a voice & express their opinion. What, should we go back to the days when we just swallowed whatever the record companies told us to like & buy? Either way this band would diss all of you people commenting on this video positively or negatively in a second. They would make fun of the way you look and the way you talk. They've slandered every band they have seen as a threat from day one & that is how they have gotten to where they are. This has stopped some potentially good bands from developing so f**k them I say. I hope their house of cards falls apart in flames.

blah blah blah blah - shut the hell up! this dude sounds like a total fag, go butt pop someone

Posted by - anonymous 1 month ago

D!E D!E D!E RULE!!

Shut up about the video.

Posted by v - anonymous 1 month ago

great song and vid guys

Posted by diabolical 1 month ago

155 vid SUX.
Why cant such an amazing band have a good video??

Nick R really made this sound amazing.

Posted by frank - anonymous 1 month ago

Awesome song. 155 is still my fave DDD vid, gritty and captures the clinical brat punk feel.

Posted by Bill - anonymous 1 month ago

Great song

Posted by moe - anonymous 1 month ago

Short snappy statement. I am God.

Posted by Penelope - anonymous 1 month ago

Inconsistent video, great tune

Posted by - anonymous 1 month ago

Instead of falling out of trees, how about a large pair of saggy man nuts being lowered in slowmo into a pair of unsuspecting eyes. BIG and HAIRY enough for ya? But yes, agreed, boring vid.

Posted by Aroha - anonymous 1 month ago

*'nice' vidz

Posted by Pete - anonymous 1 month ago

I think vids are totally important, especially in this day and age where people have next to no attention spans. Sad but true. Special Problems make 'nice' and they have a sweet grade but I think their vids lack BALLS. BIG HAIRY ONES. The dancer is the only sweet part. The song deserved a better vid.

Posted by Pete - anonymous 1 month ago

*_*

Posted by biba - anonymous 1 month ago

great song, not sure about the contrast in the video for the chorus though. falling from trees was cool. don't like the acid animation.

Posted by excuse me kind city gent - anonymous 1 month ago

no doubting DDD are the most awesomely exciting and Special Needs normally make nice videos but not this one. the 3 elements are totally lacking in harmony (animation looks like a commercial for acid flavoured Baskin Robbins) A rush job that doesnt do either parties justice. Nevermind go c them LIVE.

Posted by johnny johnny johnny - anonymous 1 month ago

Actually, the video isn't that bad. It needs 4-5 views I think.

Posted by Aaaaaaaaaaaron - anonymous 1 month ago

I think the dancer is the best if not the only good part.

Posted by .. - anonymous 1 month ago

Great song, poor video. The 'People Talk' video by Special Problems is quality. I think the lone dancer really ruined it to be honest.

Posted by Aaaaaaaaaaaron - anonymous 1 month ago

its just a video......great song btw

Posted by .. - anonymous 1 month ago

the video's alright but why should that reflect on the band. The made a great song and didn't direct the video. If DDD had a prob with the Vid i'm sure they would've told the director

Posted by Morgasm 1 month ago

Love the Song not sold on the vid. The dancer is hot though lol

Posted by aimee - anonymous 1 month ago

This band keeps getting better and bettererererererererererererererer. The vid doesn't do them justice.

Posted by Pete - anonymous 1 month ago

great vid & song

Posted by john - anonymous 1 month ago

Song is fab. Vid is shite.

Posted by Davey - anonymous 1 month ago

Great song, fantastic album, rubbish vid (that's 2 out of 2).

Posted by killah - anonymous 1 month ago

great song! now to figure out what the hell he's saying in the chorus

Posted by - anonymous 1 month ago

Great song, great vid as well. cant wait for friday night. time to bring the rukus!!!

Posted by Shea H - anonymous 1 month ago

Super incredible.

Posted by - anonymous 1 month ago

Love the song, not so sold on the vid

Posted by Sp00ny - anonymous 1 month ago

Some people are never happy.
Great work guys.

The song sounds incredible and thats all that counts.

Posted by - anonymous 1 month ago

Effin AMAZING!

Posted by JS - anonymous 1 month ago

cool!

Posted by - anonymous 1 month ago

The vid doesn't work. You're wrong

Posted by Sam - anonymous 1 month ago

great song, video works well.

Posted by cherrie - anonymous 1 month ago

The song is fantastic but I just don't like the vids Special Problems make

Posted by James T. - anonymous 1 month ago

The animation is EWWWWWW

Posted by Jackson - anonymous 1 month ago

Not sure about the animation but the dancing is very unique.

Posted by bill - anonymous 1 month ago

It's more of a boring montage with no clear thought or thread. The slowmo falling is cool but that's about it...Perhaps they should have just focussed on the dancer and the cool shadows, i'd rather watch a ballet routine then chopped liver.

Posted by Ralph - anonymous 1 month ago

choice

Posted by tony surrey - anonymous 1 month ago

fantastic

Posted by bill - anonymous 1 month ago

Not Bad. Best bet though kill your television and go see em live !!!

Posted by cafedre 1 month ago

well that sucked

Posted by jamesss - anonymous 1 month ago
