Like it wasn't even funny, or satirical or anything. Was just stupid. At least they're videos like Deathbound was hilarious, even though they were stupid.

As far as the video, I don't get what they were shooting for. Nothing about it really seemed satyrical or funny. At first it seems like a regular Mastodon video and then there's girls shaking their ass. I'm not gonna say it's stupid, but it seems like they're just boarding a hype train. Mastodon are sell-outs

I don't hate the content as much as I hate that this decline in quality and increase in mainstream appeal means my time with Mastodon is pretty much up. I have no interest any more

I think all their other silly videos were fun. I just don't get what exactly is supposed to be so fun about this video. The juxtaposition of the twerking with the rest of the video and the band playing and the song? Don't get it twisted, I love some ass shaking, but it in this context it seems a little try-hard "look at us" shit. But the chicks were hot.
Gooby please. If some shoeblackmetalgaze band did this you'd think it was hilarious. But since you consider Mastodon sellouts now, suddenly everything they do is gay.

Not really. I'd think it was even more out-of-place. Mastodon has always had a sense of humor with their videos. Look at Blood and Thunder,Deathbound, or even Curl Of The Burl. I just didn't think it was really funny this time. Like maybe if there was some sort of build into the final scene, but you see a lot of twerking before the last part of the video, so you know where's it's going.
I've always thought their videos were terrible. And I know some people that made them. I mostly don't even watch them because I don't want them ruining the song for me. That said...Deathbound>
Finally listened to the entire new album for the first time recently. Slap and Todd had me so scared, I just stayed away from it. It reminds me of a Clutch album more than something like the Black Album. I don't see what the big deal is
