Letter From The Writer, Creator, Ham Sandwich
Well, I hope you all enjoyed the "Choose your own adventure" storyline, cause it's never happening again! Just kidding. I have no idea what I will do in the future. I am sometimes unsure about what I am doing right now...Where am I? Who are you? Get away from me!
Anyhoo, let's take a look at what I consider to be some of the most visually stunning music videos ever done. They are creative and oh-so-gorgeous to look at. They are also awesome to listen to from my perspective. You may disagree with my choices and might have some ideas for some more beautiful music videos. If you do, send me a message and suggest them. I may do another article about cool music videos and add your horrible choices to that article and I will take credit for it. I'll be just like every boss or you have ever worked for. Taking credit for your work and leaving you to die like the children of Rwanda.

Music Videos of a Special Aesthetic
Slipknot - Psychosocial
Shooting fire always looks cool, but add a slow-motion camera and it looks that much more amazing. The editing, rack focusing, and variations of coloration of the film in the shots make this video just spectacular.
Works well with the song too. Leave it to Slipknot to have a sole member of a band dedicated to playing the beer keg.
Tool - Sober
Tool has often done videos with stop-motion animation. I remember watching these videos back in the end of the MTV, music video days.
Bjork - All is Full of Love
What can I say about Bjork that hasn't already been said? How about slippy noodle McFramwich. Bet you never heard a sentence like that before. Hot, lesbian, robot sex is cool and all, but where is the donkey show? This is incomplete without a donkey show. Sheesh. Some people have no respect for tradition.
Linkin Park - Faint
Do I really have to write something for each of these video descriptions? Isn't it good enough that I just post the video and you watch it...or don't. After all your not really reading any of this. Heck you're not even there, are you? Ham, I think you're going slightly mad. Oh really? You just noticed this, huh? Where the hell have you been?
Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone
Once again slow-motion cameras and high frame rates make things look beautiful. Go to the 4-minute mark to see a pretty cool bent string effect that they do at the end of a guitar solo.
Korn - Freak on a Leash
A traveling bullet flying around and missing everyone. Pretty cool. Unlike the traveling bullets of today that seem to kill innocent people for no real reason...except mental illness, hate, bigotry, racism, etc., etc.
Trivium - Becoming the Dragon
The camera shakes, movement., the burning embers, the blowing wind, and red eyes. This is just an intensely awesome video.
System of a Down - Chop Suey!
Like some of the shots of this video and some of the camera work. Whatever.
Mushroomhead - Qwerty
Alpha to Zulu I say fuck you!
Seether - Remedy
Crisp looking video. Helps that the quality uploaded was very nice.
Adema - Giving In
Stuff stuff stuff
Thousand Foot Krutch - War of Change
More stuff stuff stuff
Fozzy - Painless
out of synch, but looks interesting.
Ghost - Square Hammer
Classic look
Shinedown - Cut the Cord
Playing with speeding up and slowing down video speed just makes this video...great. Sorry, I have used other adjectives too many times in this article and I need to pull out my thesaurus to find more words for awesome.
Highly Suspect - My Name is Human
Another robot video. I must have a fetish or something. Speaking of irony, this video featuring robots is called, My Name is Human.
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
Here's an oldy but goodie. R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion. I remember seeing this video many times when I was a young ham.
GUNSHIP - Fly For Your Life
Very neat style.
Perturbator - "She Is Young, She Is Beautiful ...
8-Bit animation. I think it's probably harder to make something beautiful when you are given less to work with, but this video does a great job of making art out of limited visual...stuff.
GUNSHIP - Ghost
Images generated by AI tyring to figure out what happens to us after we die
Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Look's like your going to have to click on the link to see it.
Wice - Star Fighter
neato
The Offspring - Dividing By Zero/Slim Pickens Does The Right Thing And Rides The Bomb To Hell
Animated shlock.
Conclusion
So here is another masterpiece of literature that will never be read or seen by anybody. Instead, you watch the fucking Kardashians suck some black cock and get lip injections while you all get fatter and dumber in this hedonistic shit-stain of a society. Why don't you call for what would be really good entertainment? Like having them dropped onto an island and hunted for sport. I'd pay to watch that.
Well, here's hoping.
