The "Bad Guys" Win?

French dream-pop/post-rockers M83 finish off their epic video trilogy from their 2011 album Hurry Up We're Dreaming (which peaked at #15 on USA's Billboard charts) with the video for 'Wait.' Just released today, the video is quite a bit different from the previous two, which depicted an obvious story of good vs evil. The new video features breathtaking landscapes, beautiful imagery and an homage to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. 'Wait,' though however beautiful, may be a bit too far off the story arc for some people because of added elements completely out of context to the first two videos. I think the varied story line gives room for interpretation for all people to make up their own mind about what is happening in the video, and a chance for the viewers to fill in the blanks. What do you think?
Video 1: 'Midnight City'



Video 2: 'Reunion'
