They should have gone back to Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris or Jonas Åkerlund.

Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris = Rocket, Tonight, Tonight, 1979 and Perfect.

Ava Adore was Dom and Nic (British Directors)

ugghh... the video for that's the way isn't very good. they need to get a new director for their videos.

Yeah the video is a step up from "Tarantula" but when they announced the director was the same as "Tarantula", I didn't expect much. This guy sucks and needs to stick to making crap band videos and expect the possibility of directing xXx 3.

I don't get this band nowadays and why they don't even attempt to make an effort towards their artwork. I'm not even sure I like the album cover anymore.

I just hold the art to high regards because that's always been a perfect part of the Pumpkins.

Billy: And Jimmy is going to ride in a Rocketship with fire shooting out the back.
Jimmy: Ok!

Jimmy agrees to do anything in videos.

haha, very true, thought the video was good. very creative, now it's time to promote the song. everyone needs to request it to their local radio stations

i'm not a big fan of the album cover either. it seemed too... i don't know i can't think of a decent word to describe it. plain maybe? simplistic?

I just saw the video, I think it's awesome. It wasn't anything like Tarantula, but it was still kind of trippy and out there in the same way. It reminded me a lot like Rocket's video, except with a bigger special effects/ green screen budget. I hope to see this on TV soon.

TV soon? I haven't even seen Tarantula on TV. Then again, music channels don't show music videos.

I've seen tarantula a few times now, probably more than I've ever seen 1979 or Tonight.

I didn't really like the video for Cherub Rock, that kinda sucked in my eyes, didn't really like the Gish videos either, this is better than Cherub and I like it more than the Gish vids, however the Gish vids are still better, if that makes sense.

This video reminded me of The End is the Beginning is the End video, and I didn't like that one much. One thing that I've liked about the best Pumpkins videos is their ability to take the viewer into an alternate or even trippy reality. That's the Way just seems to be about heaping on the effects rather than what kind of feeling they create. I also missed how the theme of the video matched the story of the song...they use to be so good at that :jamescry

I like the video. The bit where they were all talkin' on the screens reminded me of rocket.

I don't understand the negative feedback, it's going back to the old style of SP videos. It's really atmospheric, it fits the song, and is spacey.

No they won't. I like everything about this reunion. Hell, I like Jeff over James now. I like Jeff even more than Corgan. Haha, if that makes sense.

But art wise, this was the third strike. It's close but still has that glossy, rushed feel. Both of these videos seem rushed.

I love how the Pumpkins are connecting with their fans and touring like wild and doing all this great stuff, but they should take some time with the artwork and feel of the band.

like i said, they'll get another director for the third i bet. But now everyone needs to request that's the way to radio stations so its gets more air time
