  1. I was remembering older setlists like The Unsastainable Tour in BCN 2013. What a joke in comparison to what they are performing nowadays... Estadi Olimpic Lluís Companys. 07/06/2013 Setlist 0. The 2nd Law (Tape) 1.-Supremacy(extended intro) 2.-Supermassive Black Hole 3.-Panic Station 4.-Map of the Problematique 5.-Interlude 6.-Hysteria 7.-Animals(with Muse money confetti) 8.-Knights of Cydonia(Man with a Harmonica intro) 9.-Dracula Mountain(Lightning Bolt cover) (Drum and bass jam) 10-United States of Eurasia(Matt with piano on B-stage) 11-Dead Star 12-Monty Jam(Drum and bass jam) 13-Feeling Good(Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley cover) 14-Follow Me 15-Liquid State 16-Madness 17-Time Is Running Out(House of the Rising Sun intro) 18-Stockholm Syndrome B-Stage 19-Unintended 20-Blackout(with a ballerina, carried by … more) 21-Guiding Light 22-Undisclosed Desires Encore 2 23-The 2nd Law: Unsustainable(with Charles, the Robot) 24-Plug In Baby 25-Survival Encore 3 26-The 2nd Law: Isolated System 27-Uprising(Extended outro) 28-Starlight Chop Suey!(System of a Down song) (Richard Cheese cover)
  2. Will This new 2 dates have a real World Tour setlist, scenario and durarion or will they be Festival Gigs like those in Mexico?
  3. A bit disappointed. I wanna go throught it several times before making a final jugdement, but for me points low tier in the Muse discography, in the same boat of Simulation and 2nd Law. Really really short album with really simple song structures. You can feel TONS of work when creating new sounds, taking risks, tunning the instruments, even the band having fun, etcetera, which is good, but neither the songs looks to take profit of this work with their 2 repetitions + guitar solo + last repetition structure. With this brief duration and being so architecture-repetitive song by song (hello Compliance!!) the album may fall for me in the same boredom as ST. Matt said this album is like a compilation of their career. Makes no sense there is no song with the complex Opera Prog-Rock feel, as this was Muse for more than a decade... The TOP: Verona, Kill or be killed, WOTP, Wont Stand Dawn The LOWS: Compliance, Euphoria, Liberation Rest +- Okayish. really surprised I disliked the two piano songs, because I LOVE Piano Muse. But both are really forgettable, simple and they have the same structure problem explained above. Liberation is a straightforward ballad you could expect to be part of Cyosleep better than a Muse album. A plain piano ballad. Ghosts is miles away from UsOE even if it tries to be like it with its Queenish vibes. Really hated Euphoria, is a clone of Mercy (which I always hated) with no inspiration. Unfortunately you can expect this to be on each gig. Halloween is like a side b of Simulation Theory, close to Thought Contagion. Its okay the most. We are fucking fucked has the potential to be something really big, a great gig and disc finisher as Knights of Cydonia was. But unfortunately the same than in the rest of tracks happens and it does not "explode" significantly. With a real progression and 2 more minutes by chaining chords and riffs it would have been mesmerizing. Missed oportunity. Verona is a guilty pleasure, likely the most original song of the album, natural and well finished. ---- Disc is OK, dont get me wrong. But that is also the problem. Ok, but nothing great. Not to be remembered as a whole after fifteen days.
  4. Yes, a short album with short songs can be great. Or not. But for sure what it is difficult to think is that it will be an album with progressive developed rock songs, which is what Muse used to do and what I would like to hear at least in a decent percentage of the new material. Specially coming from a LP like ST that also lacks on this. I just made a comment based in my personal opinion in which waiting 4 years for 37 minutes of new material (and not so brilliant based on the 20% of it) feelss poor. And you are wrong: being long does not necessary implies that you will get repetitive, the same with the opposite. A short song can get repetitive and cumbersome as hell like Pressure, Undisclosed Desires, Mercy or.... Compliance
  5. 37 minutes long confirms my worries about the number of songs. Also, all tracks <4 minutes gives low chances to do proper progressive song with real building and to listen to the symphonic-epic MUSE. Looks like it will have the same taste of small concept and simple-structured songs that ST has. Not hyped Not sure why they need to wait until August to release an album that they have more than finished. By august mer we will have already listened to half of the themes.
  6. After all this waiting, are we going to receive a 10-songs album ?????? And two of them are songs like Compliance and WSD, basically short songs, kinda repetitive and structure-fixed without proper development (like ST tracks are). Imho, kinda lazy, i am starting to worry. PD: Dont like Compliace. To repeat 5 times that poppy chorus made only to be catchy is too much for such a short song. It would have been better with a 3 repetition structure with a larger instrumental part. That drums and bass melodies with a better and more intrincate song structure should've be a classic. A bit of missed oportunity.
  7. Loving the single so far. Not 100% into it though. I'de like the song was a bit longer and with a more ellaborated conclussion, with a longer build ups. Gets quite repetitive even if the rythim is catchy. A bit serial-b undercook here. This is the same problem i had with the WHOLE Simulation Theory. Maybe aside Algorithm, all the songs were short and repetitive without proper muse-y build ups and conclusions, like a good concept repeating 3 minutes and then the next. Of course i prefer 1000000 times Wont Stand Down sound than anything from ST.
  8. Not to mention that in the actual 25-songs-show we are counting as full songs things like Interlude, Prelude, Pray redux version and twice Algorithms. They totally skip Showbiz and they almost totally skip Origin and Resistance apart from the 'automatic-mode-song' Plug In Baby and Uprising. Even in ST they skip The Void (that should be a perfect fit for a Piano- intimal- Bstage thingy) and put songs like Mercy thta has zero appeal for casual crowd and zero interest for hardcore fans. Dont get why Matts love it so much. At least we get TAB... I was not there yet, but looks not enough for an almost 100€ ticket. Seems that I got more (at least mussically) in 2013.
  9. I didnt see them yet, but still i can't agree. During the Unsustainable Tour they were playing 27-28 REAL songs per show, including mood changers, 2 Encores and one B Stage part, piano, and oddities from Showbiz, Monty Jams, Unintendeds and Blockouts. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/muse/2013/estadi-olimpic-lluis-companys-barcelona-spain-13d9ed55.html They were doing that then, and now that they have 2 more LPs and tickets are twice expensive feels like going backwards... To be honest, even if I enjoy each show, the Unsustainable Stadium Tour was the last time i feel they were doing 100% performance, a balanced and well-thought show (even if T2L is my less liked Muse Album) and long enough to be satisfying. All those encores, changes, BStages and piano part helped to feel the show totally satiating and diverse.
  10. Matthew heard you guys. Yesterday they dropped Undisclosed Desires andthey replaced it by......nothing. They must increase a bit more the number of song, it is still ridiculous for a 8-LP band.
