The video is decent. The backgrounds different but seems similar to many of their recent videos in style. Granted, music videos aren't what they used to be.

Yes, in some ways it's similar to "Last Look at Eden", but I still like this video.  Personally I like it better than "New Love in Town", "Not Supposed to Sing the Blues" and "Firebox". ...Though I do wonder if they will get another director for the next videos. They've said that they prefer to work with a different producer for each album, so why not get a different director for each video as well? |

The video really is nothing special. I kind of expected something with a storyline ... Let's hope the snowflakes are either digital or some decent artificial stuff (unlike the soap flakes in In the Future to Come  ). |

Well to be honest: does a video actually matter at all? I mean back in the day there was MTV who played videos 24/7. Today there is no channel which plays metal and hardrock videos so why bother and spend a lot of money? Same goes for singles. Why release them when nobody hears it on the radio?

Fantastic video, I like "Patric style", he permeates in the videos a special brand, they are very intense, each image is spectacular, I like for EUROPE, presents also a band with a potent direct, a rock band timeless too hard, I love it. The Norum's image in the first foreground while his guitar solo is stunning and there is a moment when John looks at the camera, something that is not very common in him. And Joey! This man has a lot of skill, I put on the facebook of the band that he seems a "magician who hypnotizes you," every gesture, every move, guys ... this is EUROPE!

I wasn't particularly thrilled by the new video and not particularly disappointed. I knew that I could expect something like this and the screenshots that were published some days ago had reinforced me in the idea. Nonetheless, when I saw the opening scene with that nordic overlook I kinda hoped that something more was arriving...go back to that, I kept on thinking to myself, but he didn't. Pity. I think that vielip has a point when he says that it's not worth spending money in the production of a video and that the money is better spent in the musical production. But it's not only that and it's not a director's problem IMO. I think that the band feels more comfortable shooting these kind of "performing videos" which are conservative and risk free. The video has a good quality, awesome effects and the guys are in excellent shape. The song is great so there's really almost nothing to complain about...still, a little more could have been dared. |

WoK is very catchy and it certainly gains a lot with the video. I already expected that it would be similar to LLAE so I'm not disappointed in that aspect. It's very well filmed and the band's attitude is great. The only snag I've found (but not very important) is that the special effects could be better.

I've only watched it a couple of times. Seems quite similar to LLAE, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think it's pretty good, but in general I don't get that excited about videos these days.
