Yeah, that one probably cost $15 to make, and look at how well that one turned out.

I honestly don't see Al doing this. I guess it would be a good way to boost sales, though.

If Al releases a special edition SOL, I'll disappointed if he doesn't use this cover

Would you really WANT Al to throw together some last minute cheapo videos? Personally, after some of the stinkers we've had from this album, I'd much rather he either spend the time and money to do them right or not do them at all. I'd rather have no video for "Confessions Part III" than some crapfest like they did for "Pancreas."

That's another problem with these videos. They've reduced the level of expectations we have for Al's videos. Al's videos have always been superb, but some of these animated ones are really soiling that reputation in my opinion.

That's not to say that a low-budget video can't be good. "Christmas at Ground Zero" and "Bob" were incredibly low-budget, but both of them were excellent. And some of these animated videos have been excellent as well. But I wouldn't want Al to rush out some crappily made, inexpensive videos just so that he could have one for every song on the album.

I actually have a quite different idea of the cover. picture al, standing on a train, holding the pole. There are countless people on the train around him, including suzanne, Joel Miller, and a boy scout. Oh, and get this he is wearing Bela...ON HIS HEAD. and we can call it poodle ha...wait...nevermind

Good one, look! *I'll just call you that, since I have no clue what your sn means.*

I wanted to make a 27 letter long sn...but I was young and naive, so it didn't come out the way I wanted it to

but I don't know why, I always pictured it that way

I agree with what Bruce said (except that I also love the "WSD" video). I don't want to see any more videos unless they are live action videos. Out of all the animted videos that we've had for this album, no more than two of them have been above the level of even decent.

Post by **Bruce the Duck** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 5:07 am

Agreed. Only CBNC and ISY have been outstanding. VA and DICYO were decent. All the others have been crap.
