Burning in the Skies Music Video Review

Burning in the Skies

Linkin Park
Burning In The Skies International Music Video
Album: A Thousand Suns.



 Different people shown in the video, going through variety of emotions..from the happiness, innocence of the child; the fun of the group of friends, the sadness of the man who has lost this lover, the two lovers in the car.. to the Girl in the bathroom going through depression.. This Song is the perfect score for this video.. It does actually relate to the emotions of people in the video.  The video, right from the beginning, is arresting. The songs gradually builds up and so does the video.
There is this scene of the girl in the bathroom screaming in agony and immediately after that is the scene of the child with the Tiger mask (02:14). Its hugely contrasting in emotions, but the result is good.
   As the song builds up, the breath comes faster and just stops as Chester sings, "I'm swimming in the sun..." and then your breath picks up its pace again..
It is this uniqueness of Linkin Park; in their music; in their videos.. they try out new things, always improvising themselves, which makes them a stand out different from the rest..

LP band members with their instruments shown intelligently and beautifully in slow motion and diamond-like-shine which is also used in their earlier video "Waiting for the End" of the same album.

The songs gives a sense of Euphoria and Elation to Linkin Park lovers..

Best moments in the video: actually the songs goes for great after  02:14. But some stood out..
Phoenix Farrell on Guitar (03:31)
Mike Shinoda on his Guitar. His face concentrated on the music he's producing through his Guitar blows my mind (03:37)
The Man jumping off from the house (03:42)
The end part where the girl falls down with the chair..
and Epic moment, The fish bowl smashing on the ground and the water floating in the air. Slow Mo does make it too awesome!

This video is worth more than what it is.
I'll rate 8/10.
Awesome 04:16 minutes of your life..

Go watch it!
