Just watched the "HD" upscaled videos of the THB singles followed by the TUVL videos. There's such a contrast. Even when it's a full blown music video, Evans' style comes across as a glorified slideshow with camera movement and seemingly capturing the band in every bad angle. The TSHM video makes James look as if he just got kicked out of a dive bar after an all day bender. There's no energy there at all even when the song has a pounding rhythm section.There's all these uncomfortable close up shots and seem to be without any sense of humour. The THB videos (which are similarly budgeted judging by the production) on the other hand make the band look like living gods and are full of stark lighting and strong editing. All four members of the band never looked better before or after. Wish Evans would switch up his game a bit and inject a bit of energy and life into the next couple of videos.
