Der Film ist schlicht, gar minimalistisch in Schwarz-Weiß gehalten und verzichtet weitgehend auf äußere Handlung oder eine Kulisse. Man sieht nur eine Person (vermutlich Jeremy Shaw) das Lied singen und sich zur Musik bewegen in wechselndem Licht und Schatten. Das Zusammenspiel des “synchronized stuttering edit to the syncopated beat” (Cliptip) ist hier hervorragend gelungen. Dann plötzlich stehen dort drei, vier Kopien von ihm und singen den stupiden Chorus “Na-na-na-na”. Mit dem schwebenden Gitarrenteil in der Mitte explodiert dann ein Feuerwerk nach dem anderen auf dem Bildschirm, so dass der Kontrast zum dem folgenden Teil, in dem wieder nur die Person zu sehen ist, umso stärker ausfällt. Wie gesagt: äußerlich passiert nicht viel, aber die Leere einer enttäuschten Freundschaft habe ich selten besser dargestellt gesehen. Oder mit Travis’ Worten: “This is one of those rare occasions when the video actually takes the song to a whole different level” (Big Stereo). [...] [...] Besonders eindrucksvoll finde ich das Video zu “Fight Songs Pt. 1″ (”Baby turn the lights down / This is strictly fight sounds”).

But is it he who’s changed, or is it everyone else? Who’s to blame when friendships fall apart? “So simple, yet so brilliant. This is one of those rare occasions when the video actually takes the song to a whole different level.” - Big Stereo [...] [...] In a track about how loyalties change, Jeremy Shaw of Circlesquare finds himself among familiar faces.

We all really appreciate your compelling insight, and keen musical sense. Do you write for a music magazine as a critic or are you just naturally talented? I'm so glad you told us what to think, since we all could have looked so foolish. Please tell us more. We love you. Simon, you are so smart.

Also, sounds like Trent Reznor's dying words. Goldfish make more noise when they fight (not counting the meaningless pause towards the end of the song). Is the vocalist dressing like a high school shop teacher to let us know this is "industrial" music. You've all been fooled. Don't patronize this artsy garbage. People will make fun of you. I wouldn't download this if he was paying me. Looks like a cheap version of Brian Ferry’s “More Than This”. Also, sounds like Trent Reznor’s dying words.
