| There are straight lip-synched
performence clips, some of them crashing bores, some of them wonderful
if you just want to see a well-shot band performing.
There are high-concept clips, full
of image overload and deliberately ambiguous narrative tangents that only
occasionally resolve to constitute the semblance of a plot.
In between there are various hybrids
of the polarities - clips that mix performance with conceptualized plot.
