Okay, gonna nerd out a little bit; The Joke released as an EP with a re-recording of Deranged, which was originally an exclusive track on Batman Arkham City. Seems to me like they made the whole EP a tie-in with the character 'Al the Killer' from IKSSE:3. The joker ties in both as the character The Joker, from Batman, and as the personification of Al's humiliation at the hands of the woman he loves (who's name escapes me), and leads to his serial killing. Hence the dream-like murder of The Joker (a woman resembling his lustee), the reality of the bloody knife, followed by the return of The Joker (as his feelings of humiliation). The act of murder being a temporary vent of his feelings, thus his smiling at the photo at the end of the video, with the gradual return to his frustrated face and the reveal that The Joker is still there. But I'm drunk, so what do I know.
It makes sense that Coheed would re release Deranged with the new Joker movie coming out. My guess is that they will be on the soundtrack. The artwork for the Deranged track makes sense if you are a Batman comics fan and remember Batman: Metal, The Bat Who Laughs. Also the Deranged visualizer video is the 1920s silent film The Man Who Laughs, which is where the idea for the Joker came from.
Deranged is not new, it was a part of the Batman Arkham city game, wondering if this was supposed to be with the joke and the game studio only went with deranged which is why it sounds like something from the black rainbow style of their music
Maybe his girlfriend wore white makeup like a clown? I mean waaay back we got Al the Killer without much back story, and I at least thought some random space trucker couldn't pose much of a threat to the chosen one and an actual angel lady with strange skin, and no wings. But in the comic he was also an IRO-bot, however, now that I read that, it reminds me of how young Claudio was at the time. None of that matters unless he wants to matter, I just enjoy the music, and this song is great. You know what's not great? The way the controls panel on the ship jumped up like a thin sheet of hard plastic.
Coheed is easily my favorite band of all time but this song just doesn't work for me. I'm low-key, happy it's not on the next album and is just an unused song from the last one. Also, the second track Deranged is an old song from the Arkham City game soundtrack.
oh dang so this isnt for a new record or anything??? Shortly after doing this video i realized Deranged was an older track so i feel silly for not know that sooner. AND THIS SONG IS ABOUT AL THE KILLER!?
@@whaleseathumans I don't think it is about Al the Killer. I think they just nabbed the dude who dresses up as him for the cruise. He is practically the Amory Wars Joker.

Luci is the name you’re looking for!!! 🤡🔪
Deranged isn't new. It was revisited though. It was a track made for the game Arkham City.
Also it make sense with the new Joker movie coming and the fact that they also had a track for Batman Metal

All that said, I love seeing the characters Al The Killer brought back in live action form.

@@whaleseathumans that's one of the reasons why the mv has the obvious joker depiction :)

It took me a few listens but I became obsessed with it
