This House Is Not For Sale (2016) - Post Album Release Discussion

And in New Years Day....

Not a bad idea but poor execution. I guess the message they are trying to convey is “young artists nowadays can’t be themselves without the high powers meddling to turn them into something mainstream and marketable” but the whole “female performers have to be sexualized to be popular” (while true 90% of the time) is trite. It’d have worked better if it was a male rock singer forced to be a walking billboard ad for all the popular music genres, like having a female dancer grinding against him, a duet with a rapper, some kid break dancing, a hipster playing a retro synthesizer while doing some David Guetta moves, a teen playing guitar like it’s a videogame and dozens of hysterical girls yelling and trying to kiss him… or even better, have the actual band playing in front of the record executives who ignore them because they are trying to find younger and cooler substitutes and then the band says ****-this-i’m-outta-here and next scene is them playing in a garage just for fun, the way it’s supposed to be, no dancers, no diamonds no lip syncing (err, wrong song). Imagine Hugh fighting with the breakdancing kid for the spotlight, Dave yanking the Bieber-looking teen hair… the possibilities...

Oh well, lost opportunity, next time they should call me

Edit: I miss their funny/lighter videos. I know it's a "serious" song but the absurdity of them being replaced by something more current but totally unrelated to their type of music and style would have worked if mixed with some angstier shots

Yeah, it's the only one I want to rewatch, but these videos are very cheap-looking and meh, a decent one it's still pretty mediocre.

At least Jon is not trying to act, he's actually good at looking exasperated, which is an attitude he has mastered over the years

I found the girl singing all the song a little bit irritating. I think singing only the more agressive parts and switching between her and Jon would have worked better to convey the idea.

Holy shit!! WTF is up with Jon's smirk at the end!??!!! He looks weird as hell!! Like he had one of those snapchat filters sewn up in his face on surgery!!!! Weird!!!

It's a very sexist video.
This song deserves a better video

How is it sexist?

Because of the way the behave with the girl

It's not the band making a sexist video, the plot is the sexist undertones the higher-ups put on new artists to sell more albums.

I can not see it in tidal. Any alternative site?
