chevelle Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 A resounding "meh". Bring on the dubstep. I've stopped caring about these guys since that turd The Resistance, and this is just more "meh". "I'm gonna win, I'll light the fuse, I'll never lose", what the fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KetchupNotMayo Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 To be fair to them, it is supposed to be a sporting anthem so the lyrics I suppose have to be ideal for that.I don't expect it to be on the album to be very honest but if it is, it'll be getting a lot of skips, not a lot of substance to it really and it's more a fart of a return than a bang.

Guest Broskirose Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) I don't mind it. The second single Madness is getting released on the 20th. Album is coming out on October 1st. Edited August 11, 2012 by Broskirose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H. Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 First single was fine.The second song was totally pointless. I finally accepted that they would be experimenting with dubstep, so I hoped they'd do something cool with it.But that was just boring. I was waiting for something cool to happen, and then the song was over. It was like, a glorified 3 minute intro to the album or something.

Redhead74 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 The last album was just shit overall, I didn't even like Exogenesis, and now this...I don't hate dubstep, I enjoy some once in a while, but fuck me does it feel like Muse will do anything to make a buck these days. I miss the days of the first three albums (and even some of Black Holes & Revelations was really good).Just because something isn't to your taste doesn't make it shit, OK? I haven't listened to Muse for very long (a couple of weeks actually Clearly I have been living under a rock) but Undisclosed Desires has gone straight into one of my top 10 favourite songs of all time. It was a revelation for me.Collateral Damage and Exogenesis: Redemption are beautiful and on par with any Mozart sonata. I know that you probably don't spend a lot of time listening to Mozart and theres no problem with that (its not for everyone) but just because something isn't your thing doesn't make it shit. Creativity is about experimentation and you can't be all things to all people.(Please tell me that you love Map of the Problematique? I have been addicted to that track since I heard it. It's amazing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningBolt Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I was never a big Muse fan but I kept up with them at least a little bit because they have some good songs. Then they released The Resistance which was god-awful. The two songs I've heard from this album have been awful. And their whole "conspiracy" schtick sucks.

It's amazing.) Map of the Problematique is awesome.To really understand how I feel about them, you have to know that a lot of my dislike of current Muse comes from seeing them live. The stage set up was fantastic, with lights and lasers, giant balloons being dumped on the crowd, giant lighted pillars that rose and retracted for them to play on, but everything about their actual performance felt phoned in, over-rehearsed, like Bellamy did that knee slide 10,000 times before and he's only doing it again because he has to. And that made me realize my main problem with The Resistance - it doesn't sound natural. Like they 'experimented' just to say they did it. I think they waste too much time trying to go for an 'epic' sound that they forget about the actual craft.EDIT: Not a fan of the new track, either. It sounds like it's supposed to be an album intro or something, doesn't really go anywhere. And I swear Skrillex has used that same sound effect and rhythm before.

I haven't seen them live (it would have been pretty convenient if they were doing a show in my city in the last 2 weeks, hey?!) I actually don't like going to live shows that much for that very reason. With a world tour you often get the feeling that the artist is going through the motions and I always wonder if the nice things they say inbetween songs are the same everywhere and hence not very sincere? My guess is yes. I also don't like watching music videos because I often find the concept and the mood that the director chooses puts a stamp on it and sometimes it clashes with what the song means to me. It can kind of ruin a good song unnecessarily. I like the NIN song 'Closer' but the video was just fucking gross and creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moop Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Never judge Muse until you listen to their whole album all the way through.Although, I do miss the days of crunchy riffs from OoS. But oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead74 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Slightly off topic here, but has anyone listened to Map of the Problematique whilst driving fast on an open highway? If not, I highly recommend it! It's probably the second best drug free high you can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt mimed the guitar, and just made a joke of the whole thing with over the top knee slides and stage moves. And his voice was weak for most of the performance. The only good part was when he hit the high note at the end. Other than that, it was shit. Can't blame them. It's their first live performance in forever + the first time ever playing that song live (+ playing the Olympics has to be a shitload of pressure). Wasn't as bad as GNR at Rio, but it was pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
