You asked for a critique! 
Nice beat use with the white flashes without making them look overused. I've no problems with the artistic merit of the video, or actually with the song - I don't care for it, but it doesn't hurt the video. It was well made, well-beated, and solid. My one artistic problem is (and this is me being a picky graphics person, and didn't affect the rating of the video) the font for 'If nobody died...' - it's Matura MT Script Capitals, and I can recognize it, so it looked a bit obvious. It also didn't really fit with the hard rock song - I would've chosen a rougher, grungier font.
A few technical problems for me:
The widescreen frame for 'Confidence Man' was a little distracting, esp. as the actual footage is so powerful there; it sort of lost its effect with the video bars distracting. (There are bars immediately after with Charlie and Claire, though I can't place the episode.)
Also, some of the slow stuff was a bit... scraggly-looking? I don't know if that's the word for it, but it pixelated some, which made the video a bit rougher to watch.

For what it's worth re. the bars, you can fix it in Vista by fiddling with Tools > Options > Advanced > Video Properties, if you have Vista. I don't know if there's a fix for WMM 2, but I can check on my old laptop tomorrow, if you're curious.
