Every now and then, we will take a look at some random video and well, post our comments on it. I guess its video on trial, but with less annoying people. Or more annoying.

James - Tomorrow - Britpop classic from the band that brought you the songs “Laid” (think: American Pie) and “Sit Down”. Highest charting position was #12 on the charts, in 1997. It is on the album Whiplash, and the Greatest Hits album. I picked this song because I really like it.

Review:

Ricky Says: Tim Booth looks like a serial killer out of a Silence of the Lambs movie. Such an epic song, such a crap video. I don’t get the frenetic editing/moving forward pace of this video. Did they film this inside a warehouse? The video for this song should be triumphant and majestic. Very disappointing for a great tune.

Vik Says: not too much to it man, other than the fact that the lead singer looks like vinnie jones…

Nick Says: Aside from the hyperkinetic editing that would send more kids into epileptic fits than a Japanese cartoon, the video is all the more ridiculous for the spectacle of Tim Booth dressing up like the singer of Midnight Oil and prancing about like Michael Stipe. James always had bad music videos but this one’s even more offensive because the song’s so good.

Golnar says: The video was a bit low-quality for my liking but not in that “we meant for this to be low-quality kind of way”. I think that great songs don’t need a lot of visual distraction or interpretation and in this case the constant movement of zooming in and out, left me distracted enough so that I forgot which of my senses this is supposed to be enticed.
