Good old dark blue links on a black background...
But yes, it was always the 23rd, so nothing new there.

I mean I've heard the term thrown around forever, not in relation to Muse really since Guiding Light came about. And now a few people that don't know anything about guitar have learned a new vocabulary word and throw it around like it means anything.
The Newborn live solo in its different incarnations has brought about some wankery discussions in the past, probably also because the hand motions were quite literally reminiscent of the actual act of wanking.

Lol exactly. Also the amount of people throwing out the term wank/wankery. Buzz word 2015. Its the first time Matt has done a lengthy solo like that barring Dark Shines. Stop complaining.
I think wankery has been thrown about since OOS, both in the positive and negative sense. This solo is a bit out there, if the album version is a little tighter i think it'll be great.

I still think it's gonna be a cheesy love song.
Based on the title and the place in the narrative (The subject must end up "lost in the wild" and disappointed by love to end up in the claws of Psycho's drill sergeant) it is likely that it'll involve some kind of heartbreak or abandonment. But that can range from cheesy love song to angsty emo, to anger. I don't expect it to be a very sweet and lovey dovey ditty of positivity.
-
Is it being played on tv somewhere else? I don't think on MTV ...
I don't think MTV has played any songs in the last 15 years, so that's nothing to worry about.
-
This is promising. I liked the solo at the start, sort of a Kurt Cobain style mockery of the cock rock solo, but then it went full cock. Oh well, still enjoyable.

Going back on topic of the new MUSE album (not RB/The Script) I'm hoping for some Stockholm Syndrome esque distorted shouty vocals.
I'm hoping for more of a Stockholm syndrome style of intricate fast and heavy song crafting.

HOOLLYYY hell my face melted when I heard this last night, it's SOOOO fucking epic!
Absolutely love it!! Lyrics are typically meh, although 'your ass belongs to me now' is just hilarious but ughh that riff is divine! I cannot WAIT to see this live next week, it's gonna be fucking insaaaane. It's just what I've been waiting for from them: heavy as fuck, gritty, sexy bass, and the best thing ever to headbang/mosh to… bring on the Psycho Tour!! That's the spirit!

The only thing that rubs me the wrong way are parts of the second verse. "Superdrone (super drone)" is just unnecessary and the program and virusssss line is bad, but almost forgivable. Matt's tongue in cheek delivery puts too much emphasis on it. By know we should know Muse is not to be taken too seriously, i get it without the gimmicky approach.
Minor points though, overall it's quite amazing.
-
First-time and only listening ... Played it in youtube at work so I just listened to the audio.
I want to like it but right now, I will be honest, I do not like it at all, very Pop'sh, going to the same direction T2L took.
I am not sure if a repeated listening is necessary. Or if I am just having a bad day.
Pop'sh

Brits beep? I thought that was a US problem.
-
The Hyper Music one I've just... um... never quite got.
That's the beauty of OOS.
If it's about "getting it" than Psycho has the best lyrics ever.
-
But Muse aren't sophisticated enough to use that artistically.
That's a matter of expectations. They're doing it as one would expect from them. If you're expecting something else you're in the wrong place.
-
This is exactly what is bothering me about it. It never goes anywhere. For being 5 and a half minutes long, nothing really happens. This one could have really benefited from Muse's tried and true "End with a completely different riff" ala Stockholm, MK Ultra, or Unnatural Selection.
It's an album track, and it fits the theme of relentlessly pounding someone's mind to break them down.
Besides, even as a Stockholm outtro I wouldn't mind this riff going on for five minutes live.
-
Love it
On another hand, these are probably the safest vocals Matt have done for a long time. I like them in the context of the song, but I hope he pushes himself abit more on the other tracks.
It's definitely quite... Literal.
Literal is the new raw.
-
I mean it's heavy and all, but it's nothing special. The reaction here reminds me the time when Supremacy was first played live and everyone went "omg muse are back heacy riff", this song is no exception, pretty generic.
No. This pumps from start to finish.
But then again, I never really liked Supremacy, so I wasn't part of that hype.

Put it in my American iTunes now!

Main thing is the complains I've heard are silly. You didn't say it, but some say "it's too literal".
Indeed, I should have realized my opinion is different than yours and therefore silly. My bad.
-
Urgh. That artwork is hideous. Looks like a teenager's GCSE project.
!
Yup, it's a bit literal, looks slightly rushed. I like the the colors and composition though. It's not horrible.
-
Shitty lyrics are okay when it's about nonsense. But if he's actually trying to make a point, it becomes really awkward.
It also depends on how the cheese is delivered. "Brainwashing our children to be mean" goes full on Andrew Lloyd Webber. If he delivers the cheese in a bit of a Dead Star/Hyper Music/Psycho(?) manner I'd be able to handle it a lot better.
-
But it got premiered on radio 1? Wrong example I guess...
Don't remember the type of radio play it got back then.

Аm I the only one who doesn't quite understand how can a song be published as a single song, without being a single?
Stockholm was never a single, but it had a video and was released before Abso's release.

There are rules about upbeat songs in the middle of concept albums?
