    i like the slight remix of the song... i have the feeling it is less tight, but after thinking about it, maybe it should be.
    i liked the tightness of the original beat, but this remix might tell the story better.

    and lets hope the hd version will pop up soon on nabil's site...

    lol

    Criticism shouldn't exist. Maybe the constructive kind, but that's it.

    I have not seen in this video of anything beautiful or interesting.
    It any left unfinished and not much differs from the first version which has quickly extended in internet.

    This is another strong video from Nabil showing his ability to understand the rhythm of the song, the visually arresting beats and a proven record of working with great talent time and time again.

    So creative - so cool - rock on Mr. Elderkin!

    This is very nice man. The treatment and use of the text during certain parts is my favorite. Kinda creepy video, reminds me of werewolf style movies.

    I like this video a lot. Reminded me of some German expressionist films of the 30's.

    Great visuals and TYPE TREATMENT!!! (what typeface is that???? anyone know?). When I saw the leaked version I cringed when I saw the typeface Bauhaus being used. Glad that was changed.

    The remix is sick... the new synth sound and bass ornamentation makes it pop and makes it more energetic. I'm really glad this is the final version. I saw the early cut and I was disappointed because I wanted something deeper from the song... this version delivers and exceeds. Amazing work

    very well and stylish put together! lacks a lil bit on new ideas through the mid part but nice idea all in all. love the beginning/end scene.

    This re-producing of Paranoid is awesome. It makes me wonder whether Kanye should go back and remix the entire album in a similar way. This version is far stronger than the original, and I really liked the original. Imagine hearing Heartless with as much strength as this..
