I happened to be there during the making of the video. It was quite literally filmed in reverse, all one shot, one take with no edits,. The band spent quite a bit of time on tour learning to play their instrument parts and lyrics backwards. Once filmed in reverse, the video was flipped and synced to the original album audio.
"Typical" has to be one of my all-time favorite rock songs. It's like a send-up of typical pop rock anthems, while sporting its own distinct style and a genuinely creative hook (for a 4-chord song, that is). It's wonderful how the hook essentially loops in on itself and creates tension, and even better how the lyrical pauses in the chorus highlight the tension. All that, plus the god-tier bassline, absurdly tight drumming, and sterling production makes "Typical" a modern masterpiece in my opinion.
It's 2019 and the old mutemath is still my favorite even though half of the band members aren't playing anymore. I'm glad because Mutemath was introduced to me by the love of my life and our relationship started with the song 'You are mine' and this song, Typical, is so full of nostalgia. I'm somewhat out of breath writing this because it's the feeling of utopia that I got when the relationship was new, 5 years back. Even though things have changed but the feelings and emotions that I felt is eternal and shall be restored within me till I live. I love you Mutemath!
I have known Darren since we were kids...known him almost since birth! We grew up in the same church together....he is an awesome drummer for sure!! And a great friend!!!
I remember hearing this in middle school, it feels so great to know that people still appreciate this. This might get weird, but I'm going through some hard times, and hearing this gives me hope for the future!
I haven’t heard this song in 15 YEARS! So much in my life has happen sense then, I'm so happy I found this! Really happy, the music video is also amazing
I have always done a physical walk around at all outdoor shows. It has to pass my ears test. I lost count of how many people have asked the crew, staff and vendors where I was when they heard Typical playing. Great tune to have friends know I am in the house.
This is one of my favorite songs ever, reminds me of the times when i was happy for the last time, playing atv offroad fury on ps2 in my room as a teenager
this song... I was in the middle of getting my Master's in summer 2007. Just met my now wonderful husband - and what an amazing love story, we fell in love with mutemath as we fell in love together :) :). Just amazing memories.
Saw them open for TØP and they were absolutely fantastic! Not only did the sound good live but their lighting and performance in general was captivating and honestly just freaking amazing
Tabitha Sikora I grew up with him too... we graduated in the same class. Marshfield class of 2000. Darren was always good people. I’ve known him since 2nd grade. So glad to see him doing well at what he loves.
If you still know him by chance ... could you possibly let him know he broke all our hearts a few years ago. What hurts most is not that he left but that he didn’t tell us (his loyal fans) why. 😢
I heard of them before twenty one pilots, but twenty one pilots rekindled my interest in them. Only b/c they kinda just faded out for me and I forgot about them entirely. Anyhow, both both groups are great and this song is awesome.
+HektahGames: Well obviously it does - but I'm pretty sure the Mutemath guys had a lot of ideas for this themselves. We don't know at least. This is a pretty simple song, I agree, but that doesn't mean it must be bad. Listen to some prog rock and be happy then. ;)
HektahGames there's a making of video. This was the brainchild of the band and the director. They got the ball rolling on this video.. and idk what the hell u listen to but mutemath are a very complex band with multi talented musicians. U best remember that b4 judging them off of one song which has become a staple for their fan base.
Holy crap, this song is way ahead of its time lol. As someone who had no idea about this song until a suggestion from Spotify (this is exactly the kind of stuff I love and I had no idea it existed), I thought it was a song released this year when I first heard it. Go figure that everyone else has known about it for so many years :P
I suggest everyone watch the making of this video to appreciate how difficult it actually was to make and shoot, especially for Darren who learned the entire drums backwards, crazy stuff
Come on, can I dream for one day? There's nothing that can't be done But how long should it take somebody Before they can be someone 'Cause I know there's got to be another level Somewhere closer to the other side And I'm feelin' like it's now or never Can I break the spell of the typical? Now I've lived through my share of misfortune And I've worked in the blazing sun But how long should it take somebody Before they can be someone 'Cause I know there's got to be another level Somewhere closer to the other side And I'm feelin' like it's now or never Can I break the spell of the typical? Typical, typical, typical I'm the typical I'm the typical Can I break the spell of the typical? Because it's draggin' me down Oh, I'd like to know about when When does it all turn around? Yeah I know there's got to be another level Somewhere closer to the other side And I'm feelin' like it's now or never Can I break the spell of the typical? Typical, typical, typical Break the spell (of the typical) Break the spell (of the typical) I'm the typical!
These gents learned to play their instruments backwards for 4 min to get as many views as a tiktok dancer. Saw you all live and will be forever sending you boys views!!! Respect 2022
There are 4 members in Mutemath, the 4th letter of Mutemath is E. This video was shot backwards. E backwards is 3. 3 sides in a triangle. iluminati confirmed
5 years I've been listening to this song... and I still find something else I love about it everyday!!! MUTEMATH, Do a tour in Australia!!!! Love you guys!!!!
What I really appreciated about Mutemath is that they really let their drummer, Darren King, just go at it in this song. Allowing drummers to do ANYTHING in mainstream rock songs is a rare thing.
I first saw this on Philippine MTV when I was 10, moved to LA the year after. These were some of the last years before popular music became really bad and I don't think I'm just being nostalgic.

It’s 2024 and this is still one of the most underrated music videos ever.
I'm still in disbelief they pulled that off
2007 played wow and endlessly listened to this album by geniuses from New Orleans

Gutair rhythm always gets stuck in my head
WOOO 🔥🔥🫶🏼
It's 2022 and this is still one of the most underrated music videos ever.
Mutemath is one of the most underrated bands period.
2023. Used 2 love her, somebody that eye…
Ahead of its time for sure!!!!
My favorite music video ever, from one of my favorite bands. Sad they're no longer together.
Focus on the music...jeez
It’s 1997 and this will be one of the most under rated music videos ever!

Yes, sadly
The musicians as well. Great musicality!
It's 2020 and I still visit this music video every now and then.
thats cause they copied pharcyde and spike jones but worse...
It's 2020 and this is still one of the most underrated music videos and bands ever. can somebody explain me why?
It's 2023 and this is STILL one of the most underrated music videos ever.
Still has to be one of the most ambitious videos ever shot. I'm still not sure how they pulled this one off successfully. But I'm very glad they did.
I just watch it for the 1st time, and i'm still trying to decyphwr what i just saw
The director of the video posted the video on Reddit and has replied to Redditors how it was done.

@@ericjohnson829 That's fucking incredible!
This song was on the ATV Offroad Fury 4 soundtrack and was my favorite song. You know... One of my favorite PS2 games... I still play it today!
+Cosmos553 Yeah, i remember too, the stunt races with the yellow sky and the sound of the bike´s engine
U still playing it? One of my best childhood games...
Same lol. This is my favorite band now
cool
Do u still play it?
It's 2017 and this is still one of the most underrated music videos ever.
Its like ok go
nearly end of 2018, and agree!
I love this band. I hope Paul can successfully keep going without Darren and Roy.
2018 now buddy onto 2019
2019
Easily 10 years ahead of their time. I still listen to their first album and think "Damn, this is incredibly fresh"
Jesse Bochek just like ur haircut my man
More like 50 years behind their time. Their sound is directly from the 1960s and has already been rehashed 2-3 times, primarily in the late 1990s.
my man! - so true!
Same! Their music is really timeless 🎶
Armistice is my favorite. Even reset EP and what not!! I'm so sad that they aren't together anymore!! DK is missed so bad!! ☹️
this was my song on my myspace page.. here we are 9 years later
lilvenice same dude
whats your song now?
Aaah MySpace
Lol wow so long ago eh
And u say this was 10 years after?
And my comment is 7 years after ur lol
Holy hell are we grandparents now?

I’m here from ATV Off-road Fury 4 fell in love with this song ever since 😅
Darren King is arguably the best drummer in any alternative rock band around IMO.
I have known Darren since we were kids...known him almost since birth! We grew up in the same church together....he is an awesome drummer for sure!! And a great friend!!!
He's like Keith Moon but alive!
SpøøkyFren Josh is a Travis barker knockoff.. and I don't care much for barker either
SpøøkyFren no, Josh is really good, but Darren is a bit better
and now... he's gone. But if he never makes music again, I'll be damned
Mutemath brought me here. Anyone with me?
LOL yes.
***** yes
yaaaas
***** Yes
Yes
Me bateu uma saudade agora!Ficava ouvindo essa música pelo ATV Offroad Fury!

Sorry for the 9 year necro, but I hope your life got better. Just a stranger passing by wishing you the best :)

Nothing changed 2020
The drummer also had to learn how to drum the song backwards too

Brings me back to graduating high school on '07, Staying up all night all summer long, put on MTV and watching this gem of a song come on!
i cant be the only one that was into MUTEMATH WAY before they were even associated with Twenty One Pilots ????
i was looking through my old ipod that I haven't touched since 2009 and I found this song. So no you're not the only one lol
I heard of them before twenty one pilots, but twenty one pilots rekindled my interest in them. Only b/c they kinda just faded out for me and I forgot about them entirely. Anyhow, both both groups are great and this song is awesome.
nah im with yeah
What relation do they have with 21 Pilots?? I knew this song back in high school almost 10 years ago
they recently went on tour with them and alot of my friends suddenly "discovered" this new band which pissed me off XD
Best music video I have ever seen.
Credit goes to the Video people, not the band.

It doesn't matter who's band reigns supreme. This video is about Mute Math and their AWESOME song Typical.
Come on, can I dream for one day?
There's nothing that can't be done
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone
'Cause I know there's got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I'm feelin' like it's now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?
Now I've lived through my share of misfortune
And I've worked in the blazing sun
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone
'Cause I know there's got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I'm feelin' like it's now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?
Typical, typical, typical
I'm the typical
I'm the typical
Can I break the spell of the typical?
Because it's draggin' me down
Oh, I'd like to know about when
When does it all turn around?
Yeah I know there's got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I'm feelin' like it's now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?
Typical, typical, typical
Break the spell (of the typical)
Break the spell (of the typical)
I'm the typical!
