  1. Oh man, I kind of love that. I love the sludgy, stompy, tribal feel and the ridiculously OTT robo voice. The little snippet of vocal you hear right at the end reminds me of the vocal delivery in Sign Of The Times. Dare I say it's also a bit NIN/Gary Numan even early nu-metal, sort of Hybrid Theory/Meteora vibe.

     

    That chorus though sounds ripe for some srs beefing up live too.

  2. But why not announcing all cities at the same time?

     

    I can see them playing arena (USA) and stadium (EU) shows at the cities mentioned in the list (there you'll have a presale, if you buy the album).

     

    But no show in Belgium? No show in Austria? No show in Denmark? Finland? Poland?

    So I guess, they will add some festivals, but there will be no Presale opportunity.

    - Belgium: Rock Werchter

    - Austria: Novarock

    - Denmark: Roskilde

    - Germany: Hurricane/Southside

    - Spain: Bilbao BBK / Bencassim

    - Finland: Provinssirock

    - Poland: Open'er

    More locations to be added. This is just the first announcement. There will be more. When you announce a ‘headline’ tour, you don’t refer to fests. That’s a norm. ‘Headline’ shows = those with your own full production.

  3. It’s also obvs worth repeating complexity =/= quality.

     

    Dead Inside blends complexity with quality superbly. Plug In Baby, by comparison, blends simplicity with familiarity superbly. Both though are fantastically ‘Musey’ songs.

     

    TC, in particulat for me, is contrived, repetitive, clichéd and distinctly un-Musey. It has few redeeming features.

  4. I haven’t heard Pressure yet, but for once, I think LiT has a point. TC is possibly the laziest Muse song since Exo-Politics, and TDS, SH and DD push absolutely no boundaries at all. I find them all, to a greater or less extent, contrived in the extreme. All four songs I’ve heard so far feel ‘lite’ for Muse, especialy when you compare them to Dead Inside, Reapers and The Handler (the pre-Drones tracks).
