I loved it!   :)
 
It has a great vibe.
 
The backstage footage is the best!
So one and one and one make three

The tropical island seemed a tad random!

I thought the video was a tad "busy" needs a few more views to catch bits I may have missed

Love the video. A tad bit to late though.

Also, it would have helped them with the whole performance footage thing if the boys actually played Take A Load Off live lol.
Grab the hate and drown it out...

The whole TALO single was botched. From the Leno fiasco to releasing a video after the single has plummeted off the charts, this great song was neglected. I was really looking forward to a Cinnamon release. I wish there wasn't so much ambiguity involved within the creative decisions/promotions of this band. Pick a single, play it live, make a video, make a late night tv appearance. The END

Incredible video! I LOVE it. Kinda go back in time... I do have to watch it again to see more stuff. It's so random, I like random.

Director?

Edit: It took me two views to realize "FIN" was in Spanish ha!

I agree with the "busy" description. I also didn't like all the film grain and scratches and stuff added in to make the overall video seem gritty-looking. I dunno, I just feel like a performance video in general is a cop-out.

They probably had this made when it was going to be a single.  Then they abandoned the TALO single idea but still had this video made.  So why not release it for the fans? 

It's not like it was world premiered on the VH1 Top 20 Countdown or some shit.  It was given to noisecreep.  I'm almost 40 so I have no idea what the fuck noisecreep is.  Just be glad we have another video from the boys.  I enjoyed the hell out of it. 
Trampled under sole of another man's shoes cause I walked too softly.  But in my defense, he was a Macho Pendejo.

I love it, but the only time either of the band members looked like they were playing the song live was the shots of Kretz playing since it could have been ANY song, lol. And Weiland was using the megaphone for the last chorus? I dont think so...

still neat to see. but its a shame the album is being left to die, no wonder the boys want (or wanted) off Atlantic. I dont blame them.

AMAZING video for a great song, shame it won't get proper promotion.  It really like an updated Trippin On A Hole In A Paper Heart video, like that video represented where the band were in 1996 this represents where they are in 2010.  Crazy 90's style imagery.
