Aloud plays catchy garage rock, in the vein of bands like the Strokes & the Killers. It's not particularly unique or revelatory, but "Beaches" will absolutely have you tapping your feet. The video is mostly performance footage, but the scene where they play in the room with the strobe light is a really cool effect. I don't know if anyone has ever done that before, but I don't think I've seen it in any other video...
Vincent Parker: "Flowers"
Pop Category
File this video under so bad it's good. In what seems like a real-life rendition of a video game, this video is filled with ridiculous costumes and computer effects. I have a feeling, though, that this was created with a sense of humor as opposed to complete seriousness, which makes it a lot of fun to watch. The song is a sort of soul-funk club jam that makes me want to get up and shake it.
Electra: "Deep Six"

"Deep Six" gets a nod for being the video most suited to the song. The creepy, stalkerish video is perfect for the eerie vibe of the song. Think "Unsolved Mysteries" stalkerish, not Clay Aiken "Invisible" stalkerish.
