Remember that the films were entirely produced by the independents, so it's likely that U2 did not contribute anything more than the song itself. That goes back to the point I made that the producers were not communicating with each other, resulting in most of the films featuring street art.
But if you were making a general point about U2's visuals, I think they have done a very good job throughout the various tours.

I totally agree with you about the tours. I originally meant that, in general, the videos, since I Will Follow to The Miracle are not in the same league as the songs. I want to see a concept (that's why I love the Lemon vid), even if it falls flat or looks ridiculous (cough... Discotheque... cough), not just another generic shot of the band playing, even if it comes with a fancy background or CGI effects.
I was hoping to see an idea, a twist or something that grabbed my attention in at least one of the songs on FOI, but I think only the Miracle came close.
Just my 0.02.
