Music Video Inspiration: Of Mice & Men - You're Not Alone

I watched this video and was surprised at the very fact that this video is literally an advert for their album; there is no hiding it at all. the video is merely a background image to keep the viewer interested. This was interesting because usually music videos, although are created mostly for promotional purposes, have other motivations than  being, effectively, just an advert. They are created with the intent to give a sense of story and sell the artists themselves as opposed to literally just their product (in this case, their album "Restoring Force").
