Click Five? No Way

U2 just put out an innovative video with interseting concepts and a great song. Do not think of buying Click Five over U2, Click Five is just a band for those who like to blend with the crowd and do everything somebody else is doing, let your music define you as an individual not some hopeless loser who let's others choose for them. Indifference leads to a mundane and banal life. This video is what causes you to think. Not Click Five, whoever they are.
