    If it is, then fuck... :/

    Tbh, I would be a bit gutted if they got AP, but then the setlist they played at Download was perfect for that festival (although Assassin should've been played...) EDIT: And just as I finish typing too... XD
  3. CoolFunkMan
    Holy shit, pretty decent setlist... ...Download was still better though.

    So I haven't got Sky Arts, and my Dad might not be able to record the first 15 minutes or so, as he's recording a lot of other stuff at the same time. Is there a free stream anywhere?
  5. CoolFunkMan
    Thanks for the info, it was stuck in the sleeve all along. What a stupid place to put it...
  6. CoolFunkMan
    Actually, that's a good point. I never got any download codes with my deluxe edition (at least, as far as I'm aware....)
  7. CoolFunkMan
    Oh yeah, that outro was EPIC! When I heard that riff, I really thought they were going to play Assassin though.

    See, I thought that at first, but the set made perfect sense in the context of the festival. It started heavy, to prove to the non-believers that they could pull it off, then when everyone was hooked, they went on to their hits/new material. When you think about it, a lot of festival-goers who don't really know Muse that well wouldn't know anything other than the singles, plus the band have an album to promote. Besides, the first half was incredible enough, it made up for it! As for Slipknot, I did notice them getting overplayed, but then they were one of the most anticipated/hyped bands of the weekend, so it makes sense. Plus Download is pretty much their usual demographic. Even in the rain, their set was worth it. If anything, the rain made it even more epic! Although going back to the tent was horrible, but it's one of those experiences I can look back on, and laugh about.

    Holy shit, I never actually thought about it like that before! Mind = blown!!!

    Looking on Muse's social media pages, there appears to be no mention of them playing at the festival. Why are they not mentioning this, it was amazing!

    Just got back from Download, my god what an incredible weekend it was, and Muse were absolutely phenomenal! I think that'll go down as one of my happiest Download memories. Such an amazing setlist, and everything was spot on. I don't even care that it turned into a typical Muse gig by the end, they'd already dominated by that point! During the day, the mates I was camping with said they weren't sure about seeing Muse, and they weren't really into them, and had never seen them. I convinced them to go in the end though. By the time it came for Muse to arrive on stage, I was pretty much on my own, but loved every second of it. Afterwards, when I met my mates again, they all said how amazing the gig was and that they "were on another level" (two of my mates even hugged me.) Then after that, it was a night of partying and getting drunk! All I can say is, I'm so fucking proud of Muse!

    It keeps changing CONSTANLY, and different sites have different forecasts. It's really starting to annoy me tbh. BBC currently has light rain for the entirety of Saturday. It can't rain all day, surely?
  13. CoolFunkMan
    Not liking the look of the weather at all, especially as I'm doing the entire weekend. Drownload, anyone? Well, if it does rain, at least Liquid State would make sense...

    They're on at 21:05 according to the official festival page, and they'll probably finish at 11ish at the latest.

    Ok, finished listening to it. Absolutely love it, there's not a single track I hate. I do admit, the second half is a bit weird, but I still really like it. Definitely their most coherent album since Absolution, in my opinion. Not exactly the return to form I was expecting, but Muse are definitely back on track! So, my ratings: Dead Inside 9/10 Drill Sergeant + Psycho 9.5/10 Mercy 8/10 Reapers 10/10 The Handler 10/10 JFK + Defector 8/10 Revolt 7/10 Aftermath 9/10 The Globalist + Drones 8.5/10 And my album rankings: OoS > Abosultion > BH&R = Drones > TR > Showbiz > T2L Also did a "live" reaction to the second half, and it's here for anyone interested:
  16. CoolFunkMan
    Win! I'm on The Handler now. It's unknown territory for me after this. I'm scared.
  17. CoolFunkMan
    My Deluxe Edition arrived! It's so pretty! listening from the start now, I'll let you all know what I think when I'm done. Btw, I got the Dead Inside and Psycho art prints. Not the best ones, but I liked the artwork for them anyway, so I'm happy.
  18. CoolFunkMan
    That's Amazon tho... Hope they arrive soon!
  19. CoolFunkMan
    Damn' it, mine still says "Courier Received", from 8:20 this morning. Arrrgh, I want it now!
  20. CoolFunkMan
    If you're just doing the one day, then you can link your ticket to your RIFD tag via the app/website on your phone. There's various points at the festival where you can top up too.
  21. CoolFunkMan
    Cheers for the info, I hope so too. I'll check later tonight, see if there's anything...
  22. CoolFunkMan
    Glad to hear you got yours! Can I just ask, when did you get the order confirmation, and was the tracking for the order updated regularly on the courier site? Only, I got my confirmation from the Warner Store yesterday afternoon. My order is with Hermes, and the last update I got was at 1:14am this morning saying that it was at the "Hub Trailer Via Sorter". I've got the Deluxe Edition ordered too, along with the CD/DVD edition for my Dad. I was really hoping to get it tomorrow, as the preparation for Download is going to be hectic, and I may not get a chance to listen to it much after. :/
  23. CoolFunkMan
    Yeah, fair point actually, forgot about that. Should be interesting to experience though!
  24. CoolFunkMan
    True that. Considering the concept of the album, I wouldn't be surprised if they follow up with a stadium tour, to play it in full.
  25. CoolFunkMan
    Is it just me, or does it sound like this album cycle is going to be pretty short? From what they said during the Jo Whiley interview, after the UK/Europe tour next year, it sounds like they're done. Plus, they've already pretty much released most the tracks on YouTube. It's a shame if it turns out that way.
