Doesn't really bother me what the lyric video is like TBH. You don't have to actually watch it do you, just open another tab etc....
Good shout!
-
We'll what would you suggest they put on Youtube then?
The live visuals? Or nothing...I just want the audio
-
Lyric video for Reapers today apparently according to the aforementioned source.
I would rather just the track appear on iTunes. Don't see the need for a lyric video. Plus that'll be two lyric videos that highlight Matt saying "babe". I find it a bit embarrassing but hey, apparently Muse are the UK's Nickelback so everyone must love to rip on them
-
Reapers is gonna be available from 7:30 UK time according to the source
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
Hype level: through the roof!
-
Ok, that Kirky tweet makes me believe this 'source' was telling the truth.
BRING ME REAPERS!
-
This is what life has become for me too.
It's like we're in some sort of album leak purgatory! Somebody needs to set us free...

Dying of boredom. Why can't something just happen
Tell me about it! I'm letting it take over my life and I'm 30 years old :-/
It distracts me at work and also in the evenings. Instead of doing normal shit like watching a movie or something I just keep staring at my phone and browsing the board!

Plus, I've noticed that you guys struggle with the concept of opinions; more so than most of the Internet.
I really cannot believe that you can't hear how similar Dead Inside and Psycho sound live to their studio versions. Do you honestly think that Reapers is going to be so different? 'Coz that surprises the hell out of me.
Yes they sound similar, but those songs you mentioned are in no way as complex as Reapers is. There's a lot of uncertainty surrounding it! Plus, hearing the studio version of any Drones track for the first time is why we're all here in this thread isn't it?

What?? Are ? ?? Yo u s aying ?? ?!

No, not obvious. Big Weekend had extremely clear quality. Lyric video will just be the same thing with lyrics. A Mercy music video could be anything. That's obvious.
You're saying that because the Big Weekend proshot of Reapers was good quality, then that means it's as good as getting a studio version of it with a accompanying lyric video?
-
Except we know we're getting Reapers, and nothing indicates the Mercy video will drop tomorrow
Do we know though? You're the biggest believer of it happening!

Muselive was just dying cause all the fans left and new fans didn't even know it existed, and the only people left there didn't even really like Muse.
And then they did the site change that loads an entire thread and has like a million pop ups in place of buttons. That at least made me stop going.
It's a shame really because at the time I preferred it to here. Although it was fairly chaotic because you could post leak links on there without getting in trouble. All sorts of fake shit would get posted every hour. I got a few viruses off the back of it!
-
Just headed over to the Muselive forums out of curiosity and it's DEAD! I remember back when the TR hype was building and the "leak thread" would get hundreds of posts every hour. What happened?
-
Absolution and BHAR leaked about 5-6 weeks before they were released (IIRC)
The Resistance was about 2 weeks and T2L just 4 days. Albums attached to big record companies rarely leak these days sadly.

Cool. Looks like we might get a proshot of The Handler before the album release after all.
That's an interview with new tracks being played on the radio. Don't think there's any live performances involved
-
Why? What happened with US?
Mixing issues?
Not so much. I just thought it didn't pack a punch like the live version did when they first debuted it at the Teignmouth gig.
-
In your opinion
Why didn't you quote Dee3Dee too?
-
If Reapers doesn't drop tomorrow, people might Revolt. The Aftermath won't be pretty!
I'll get my coat....

I feel like if Citizen Erased came out today, and it was played live first, people would talk about how terrible it is on the album. I think Muse have just gotten so good at playing live that it's nearly impossible for the album versions of any song to match up, at least for the heavier/rockier songs.
This is a fair point I guess.
There's only a small few songs that I heard live first and then thought they got better in the studio.
Off the top of my head: Hysteria and Stockholm Syndrome both improved off their early live versions.
-
I find Reapers compareable to New Born in a way. Fun riff, the verses feel similar because of the guitar work and the excellent bass groove, guitar tapping and whammy wankery like the live NB solo's.
Really love the song, and ridiculously fun to play on guitar. If the studio version ends up being good, it might rank amongst a my favourite Muse songs.
Agreed. It's got everything I want from a Muse song and the guitar solo is probably the best Matt has done. If it pulls a Unnatural Selectoon though, I will be devastated!
-
OK, Reapers has the best chorus Muse ever did.
I have to admit, it's definitely got the catchiest chorus melody of any Muse song. It's been stuck in my head for nearly 2 months....every day!
-
It would be great, but being one week from the release, what I want is to listen the album.
Altough this weekend starts the summer festival tour, the might play The Handler. Who knows
The Handler live would be cool, but we're so close now that I'd rather hear the studio version first. Just on the chance it's better live (which is usually the case)
-
Mass suicide if we get fecked over tomorrow then?
I'm not expecting anything tomorrow other than the extended Jools Holland performance.
I don't trust any unnamed sources, no matter how reliable

Says the man whose albums are "Mastered for iTunes". It's always very hard to take his capitalist approach seriously the other stuff, sure.
I think every album on iTunes is "mastered for iTunes"
