    Won’t Stand Down - Out Now!!!!! I mean, this release schedule is really killing the buzz….
  2. That Little Animal
    Crap, I can’t believe I didn’t get that. Haven’t listened to some of these songs in a long time.
  3. That Little Animal
    For sure, it's the best they have. But I imagine they might feel stuck after 16 years of closing with it. That's why I wonder if they ever try to write their way out of it by deliberately creating a new closer.
  4. That Little Animal
    It’s just odd, I wasn’t expecting it to be a staple. Also, in my head it has been replaced by the marching band version, so that may be why I like it less than I should.
  5. That Little Animal
    That was goood. Too bad they can’t play venues this size more regularly. Was Morgan there, or did they do a proper three piece thing?
  6. That Little Animal
    Apparently Matt sang the full GOB bridge on Assassin. Has he ever done that before? I can’t remember.

    Looking at the set list of today’s show, I wonder if they ever deliberately try to write a song fit to replace KoC as a set closer, or if they’ve just accepted they’re stuck with it forever. I guess will see if We’re fucking fucked qualifies.
  8. That Little Animal
    Pressure is a bit odd maybe, but otherwise great set of songs. I’d be extremely pleased seeing that set and proper full length SS encore.
  9. That Little Animal
    I see....
  10. That Little Animal
    Oh crap, I missed a live video on Instagram. What was it?
  11. That Little Animal
    Sounds like we won't get any live tweeting or other updates then, if all the phones are in ziplocks. I wonder if they're even allowed to talk about it afterwards
  12. That Little Animal
    Do they detail anywhere how much of the ticket sales goes to the charities? I can’t find it anywhere.
  13. That Little Animal
    Are these types of gigs streamed somewhere, usually? I remember them doing at least some kind of instagram stream in the past.

    Stop whining about people whining or I'll whine about it! We need a new single stat. This place is a desert again and the remaining dwellers are getting restless. Our attention spans haven't improved over the years.

    Rammsteins album was delayed because of a paper shortage. The struggle is real.

    I was hoping Jeff Buckley’s guitar would put Matt into a songwriting place he hasn’t been in in a while. But of course that’s the wrong way to go about it. His solo ‘album’ already showed an utter lack of inspiration. Many artists suffer from this at some point or another, and it’s impressive that Muse have been skilled and crafty enough to keep on cranking out albums that resonate with enough people to keep selling out stadiums, even during a songwriting slump. It’s not right to try and psychoanalyse the reasons for the creative slump, but my layman’s intuition blames the Hollywood lifestyle, removed from reality, focused heavily on the superficial. As craftsmen and musician Muse are extremely skilled, still curious and developing, and I’ve been hoping they (or Matt alone) get to do work in service of someone else’s creative project, like a movie soundtrack. In fact, I would probably listen to a soundtrack composed by Matt more than any recent Muse album. Such work might in turn get their creative songwriting juices flowing a bit more than side project cover bands would.

    Warner also released those same album details in English. Someone posted it on Reddit: “With Muse being Muse, there is NO bowing to any singular genre. The album’s title track “Will Of The People” brings playful provocation to a dystopian glam-rocker while there is an innocence and a purity to the nostalgic electronic textures of “Verona.” From the visceral thrill of “Won’t Stand Down,” to the industrial-tinged, granite heavy riffs of “Kill Or Be Killed,” or the lightning-bolt rush of “Euphoria,” the album concludes with the frenetic finale of the brutally honest “We Are Fucking Fucked.” “

    I mean… that’s what we were discussing a few pages back. If they didn’t want to be associated with the right-wing culture war crowd, they shouldn’t be adopting their buzzwords. So either they’re deliberately associating with right-wing populist shit stirrers or they’re incredibly ignorant about the words and images they use. Neither scenario is a good one. As I said in a previous post, I’ll accept that they’re confused in these confusing times. But I don’t think Vulture is missing the point in their analysis. They see what I see. It’s just so confusing that Matt copies these buzzwords, catchphrases and symbolisms and then also posts levelheaded CoVid content, BLM support (albeit clunky), pics with Hillary Clinton, etc.

    No idea. But when I imagine any Adele song sung by Matt, it’s not a positive experience.
  20. That Little Animal
    About 37 mins….
  21. That Little Animal
    Wow. It’s gonna be a short one…
  22. That Little Animal
    I caught the tail end of it. Did they share any thoughts on politics/situation in the world/lyrical themes/war?
  23. That Little Animal
    Couldn’t find the proper Apple thingie to listen to. Anything interesting? Edit: found it, never mind. Ultra HD version sounds great on Amazon Music. I’ll have to twiddle with the equalizer to get the bass closer to where it needs to be though.
  24. That Little Animal
    I know, right? I guess they’re not that worried about the world collapsing before that time.
  25. That Little Animal
    Why the cassettes though? Nostalgia for vinyl or CDs has a sound quality aspect to it, but I can’t imagine anyone is pining for the sound of cassettes. And the retro hipster aspect wore off about 12 years ago. I don’t get it. Plastic waste.
