I don’t know much about synthwave. I just know it bears a strong resemblance to the Tron soundtrack which I love.
Then get hooked on Synthwave immediately.
-
I love that Muse finally used the Tron Legacy OST for inspiration. I love that soundtrack, and Muse fit the sound perfectly.
Why do you suggest it was Tron that inspired them? They might have gotten into Synthwave/New Retrowave.
-
The Dark Side instrumental version reminds me of Bliss, so good.
-
IOh, and it also sometimes just sounds like Muse found the Perturbator button in the studio and they're just sort of playing with it. Overall it works though.
Fuck yes! Love it! Perturbator is one of the best electronic artists recently.

Blade Runner
I'd love the alternate version as an instrumental. Matt's voice is very out of placeNot at all. It fits perfetly. The falsettos make it more epic.
-
Can't believe how good Algorithym (both versions), The Void, Blockades and Propaganda are. Muse were in seriously good form when they wrote these.
Never expected them to write a Synthwave song. Now we have even 3. Moreover The Void has classical piano outro. Seriously cool.
-
Algorythim alternative version is so freaking epic! It feels like Blade Runner epicness.
-
This album is actually really good!!!!!!!
-
And now Algorithm's opening sounds like cleaned up Closer by NIN for a couple seconds, I gotta stop
You don't listen to Synthwave do you? It sounds like Synthwave/New Retrowave. In every aspect.
-
I like the album!
Break It To Me is awesome. Not to mention Algorythim which is a New Retrowave song. And I love that style.
This was the least I expected from them to write a song in that style.
-
This is more Muse than Muse itself:LOL:

Didn't know where to post it.

Muse are a pop rock band with some progressive tendencies.
It's the other way around. Even though their latests outputs (not even all of them) are poppier, if you consider their whole discography, pop songs are way in the minority.

Wise words from a wise man.
Totally.

You don't want to discuss genres, trust me.

What’s a fantano?
Who thinks that a 54 minute harsh-noise doom drone song is a 10/10 while new material by your favourite band is a light 3.
-
The songwriting got so sloppy during this Simulation Theory era. I just don't understand why don't they make more effort.
-
It's basically the general genre sound
Wow, you actually have a good side/taste. Synthwave is amazing and you chose songs I love.
-
i’ll break this down more simply:
- marauder is full of weak ass songs
No. It's one of their best!
-
marauder is like if the styles of dig down and something human and madness were interpolized and then repeated in an oddly, poorly mixed vat of soup and ignored all the totbl or as muse fans complain about longing for oos/abso/black holes style of songs and focused on some type of alternate universe style of interpol that is like a bunch of unfinished olta b-sides. the lyrics are stronger than el pintor but the compositions seem like they trail off in an unfocused, haphazard manner. i understand that they were going for some raw, less tinkered and finished product but i don’t think the album does the songs any justice. paul’s lyrics are hard enough to navigate and when they are mixed so muddily i don’t even care to listen to marauder. i went to the album release at house of vans brooklyn and the rover is ok, complications is ok, if you really love nothing is very good, but none of the songs hit me in the heart or accessed the obsession-level in my brain. el pintor and even self-titled got there for me and i think this album is not strong on its own. paul also executes the basslines on the album better than brad truax can replicate them. i think bob hardy should give truax a lesson in that poppy disco bass because most of the fanbase bemoans the absence of carlos d.
with respect to the dark side, wow. the overall reaction to this song is so massive and it makes me feel warm all over. i keep laughing at all of the “it sounds like this” comparisons because it is getting to be an absurd thing along with the obsession of muse fans quantifying matt bellamy’s vocal proficiency with his ability to hit notes above the staves. the song does not fall victim to a copy-cat song which — in my opinion — gives it an exceptional weight as an instant classic in the catalogue. it sounds like a bunch of great muse songs all had an orgy and time travelled to 1986: baroque x trance x synth zombie dance. i love the composition of this song and i am filling in big drum sounds (a la man without a harmonica deep, echoey drums) and chris’s bass line is a nice little bop of a line that is a perfect fit with the rolling waves of dark arpeggios. the vocal is sexy and the demonic whisper paralleling the line in the verses reminds me as if someone was whispering lyrics and you were sitting in bed at night and started hearing them crackle in and out of your ear. you’re unsure if you’re hearing something or not and you’re unsure where it’s originating from. the track is transcendent and sensual and sinister. it breaks new ground for muse but pays homage to its most-cherished tracks.
i am genuinely curious if the song will overcome the live synth shortcomings of the mix since the resistance. those bubbly, somewhat metallic synths reside so far down in the mix in songs like “bliss” where they are more of a shy, afterthought than an integral component of the song. i hope that the synths on this tour are at level 1000000000000000 because this tune is kind of begging for a muse synth renaissance.
i give this song an infinity rating. it’s almost a perfect song. i know the live version will tie up any loose ends and doubts with a hot pink bow.
Are you kidding me? Ridiculous. Something Human comparisons to any Marauder song. Also it starts to become a stereotype to mention poor Carlos D. There are some pletty slack basslines on Marauder. Just to mention one, Stay In Touch, very memorable.

Fantano said "he didn't mind" the song.
It's the end of the f**king world.
Fantano is a joke. He gave 4/10 to the new Interpol album while it is one of their best efforts.
-
The Dark Side is fantastic! Especially the verses!
-
Yes. But that's not what we're talking about. Why do you think I've put emphasis on "new" like 5 times? This was the question that you replied to:
You are a hairsplitter eh?
-
But it’s literally just the name of the label. They don’t even call it New Retrowave themselves.
Retrowave is a genre though.
