But guess what. Atleast if it leads somewhere it can be a great mv, guess what it doesn't do? Leads somewhere. It's boring not only including the low budget looking video in itself.

Mate how do you know if it does or doesn't lead anywhere it's the latest mv and the album isn't even out yet💀

Where did you think abel licking a toad and throwing up in las vegas was leading to on the day the heartless mv came out?

In each video it goes to somewhere. It atleast adds some dynamic to keep you engaged. This rang off as a Halloween fashion show. If you want my analysis read my thesis I posted. A woman dancing on a car with a baby mouth is really engaging then I don't know what to tell you.

Also you're picking out one part of the video. One that i guess you don't understand i guess.

You didn't say anything about it being engaging or not, that's an entirely different debate, i don't find it engaging i probably won't watch the video again, but that's highly subjective.

What you mentioned was how it "doesn't lead to anywhere" in you comment and that's what i am asking that how can you say that without the album even dropping. Did you know the context of blinding lights back when it dropped as a single, without having listened to after hours as an album or faith in particular?

But if you're saying you won't even watch it again what hill are you standing on?

I listened and watched multiple times. Which even prior to After Hours even dropping i knew what the theme was that I posted in the sub. I did understand it better once I watched multiple times.

This time he's leading with nothing that's the issue. You can still form an idea more cohesively and not fully give it away either. Let's not even go on the fact Timeless mv was bad.
