  1. I think the biggest surprise about this entire album is that the sappy, slow build love ballad is almost universally considered the best song. And I agree completely. It's a 10/10 for me. It's a perfect song. I'd probably rank my favorites like this, and then the rest of the songs idc about enough to rank. Waff is fun but its like a novelty song and its hard to take seriously. It'll be fun live though. Verona KOBK Euphoria (Musiest song on the album) WSD Liberation Halloween
  2. Yeah I think that's the issue. Most people can play the record but don't have the means to copy from it. I'd take just an external recording of it playing from a phone at this point. That's how I heard snippets from ST and I was happy with just a few teasers.
  3. Photos of physical copies in people's hands are starting to show up online. It's imminent guys. It's midnight where I live and I'm probably going to stay up another 3-4 hours at least hoping for something to break. Even though I kind of need to sleep for something tomorrow morning lol. Too much hype.
  4. Oh yeah true. Honestly when we heard the snippet I was hoping that would just be for the intro. Not driving the entire song.
  5. I think thats jumping the gun a bit. Its super repetitive and doesn't have too much going for it. But don't forget that Aftermath, Revolt and GUAF exist.
  6. Agree. I guess that song has a big enough fanbase. It was their only song to be played on the radio from ST once it dropped. The other two singles were pre album-release.
  7. A long time ago when this board was super active someone had a thread about small snippets in Muse songs that make you jaw drop and go "holy fuck" the first time you heard them. My answer way back then was when the guitar kicked in, in Exo part 1. KOBK did that to me from 3:10-3:48. Pure fucking glory. Stockholm esque riff>neo classical tapping progression>random falsetto and modern Matt shouting (lmao)>"Either KILL OR BE KILLLLLLLLLLED!!!!" Just fucking perfect.
  8. I agree completely just the timing is a little suspect. This became a resurgent phrase/almost meme just in the past few months.
  9. It's not technically a government building. The ministry of truth became a meme/1984 reference recently because the Biden admin talked about creating a government body to combat online misinformation. So people started jokingly calling it the "ministry of truth" ala 1984. I'm not sure how many of you live in America or are aware of things like this. But either way, as much as online misinformation/conspiracies may be varying levels of a problem, the idea of a government body set up to decide what is real/true or not is insanely alarming and dystopian. Knowing Matt's past stances, he would be alarmed at the thought of that. It's not a right or left thing. It's a freedom vs government control thing.
  10. The over emphasis of fictional to me seems to be a yeah, it's a fictional setting, but all these things exist in the real world sort of take. Being ironic basically.
  11. I wouldn't go that far, and don't think Matt is team insurrection at all. And either way the characters in the video are way more Antifa type than anything else. But then I saw the ministry of truth building lol. The way I see it, I don't think Matt is a pro insurrection, Trumper nut, but he probably is more worried about authoritarian governments exercising increased authoritarianism the past 2 years more than anything else. Which I think is a justified concern that alot of people have. Also I can't imagine anyone listening to compliance and NOT thinking it was being sung from the perspective of an authoritarian government to its people. Idk how else you could spin the lyrical content of that song.
  12. Just heard it. Not really a fan. Sounds like its sort of trying to be Uprising and Pressure redone as someone mentioned but its worse than both of those songs. And I don't even particularly like either of those lol. Neither Pressure or Uprising would crack my Muse top 50 even.
  13. I feel the same way but I'll def do one more. And I figured it'd be the title track. I just don't want another scenario where we have 6 songs released before the album which was a fear of mine when it was announced as August release back in March.
  14. This is so sweet to read. I totally understand how this feels. Getting CE at 2011 Lollapalooza as an American fan since 2003 was a life's wish granted. That must've been an amazing feeling tonight and I would die to hear SD live.
  15. So it sounds like us suspecting the album actually is finished - is true. I can't remember if the band ever explicitly said that but I think I remember them doing so. I keep seeing normies parrot that it's delayed til August because of Vinyl production issues...thats an L if true. Seriously should just release it on normal formats and have the collectors edition come out in August. I guess they're worried it won't sell after the initial hype has died if the album were to release next month.
  16. I can't believe its August. I was really expecting it in the next few weeks or like May at the latest. This better not be like Drones where they keep releasing songs and then by album release we've heard 70% of it.
  17. We've all already made the connection to Knight Rider but I think that bridge is even more. It's Knight Rider + Idioteque and I'm here for it. Wish the whole song had that tone.
  18. Listened to it like 10 times, who in the fuck thought the level the bass is currently at in the mix was appropriate? It should be right there along side the synths in the chorus. That bass line and dirtier synths could save this song.
  19. Also with the very ambiguous announcement of "Compliance" dropping with no mention that it was a song, along side the album track anagrams (that I guess were discovered?) I was expecting Thursday to be an album and tracklisting announcement. Not a song. But I guess a song is nice.
  20. Compliance is eh...not bad but the lyrics are cringey. Def feels like a concept album. My main complaint is I wish the synths had a little more grit to them rather than the glam 80s vibe they give. The bridge with the Knight Rider sounding melody is a step in the right direction for me. Imagine if all the synths had that gritty tone to them. As for DI and Madness. DI for me is just all about that bass and Matt's unbelievably good vocal performance. Also a sucker for the drop C solo. Madness is just tonally not what I like about Muse and while DI did have to grow on me but I think its probably their best pop song ever. Honestly don't even think its close.
  21. Haven't heard it yet but DI is probably the second best song on Drones after The Handler. It's a great song and was new territory for them.
  22. Watch it end up being a joke album making tongue in cheek songs poking fun at conspiracy people. That would honestly be worse than them taking their position seriously in my opinion lol. I'm so done with Muse "joke" tongue in cheek songs.
  23. Back on topic though but thanks for sharing this! Hadn’t heard it before. It actually made me bust out my whammy pedal and reinstall Cubase to play unsustainable on this bad boy I just got last week. Probably the greatest piece of Muse memorabilia I could ever ask for just shy of Matt actually handing you a guitar from the stage.
