So what happened to all the board regulars? Did people get banned? I know nothings happened for over 2 years but figured this would be the time we’d see the old regulars posting more often.

He's in a Tesla, so good chance he has autopilot on. And secondly, its not like hes looking through the viewfinder of the camera. Easy enough to hold an object in the air and drive with one hand. Hell I don't film while driving but I rarely drive with two hands on a straight highway. Who does that?

Thanks for posting this! I'd been looking for a digital version of this for a while earlier this year after losing a HDD of music and going to apple music to get everything back. This song wasn't listed forever.

Might be time to revive this....man I haven't posted here forever. Anyone think we have a shot at getting a new song entirely for Christmas 2021? The timing may be right for a single.

Futurism sounds absolutely mega. But I don't like what they did with the overlapping vocals during the "Feel it, hear it, see it be it" in the bridge. That part is in probably my top 3 Muse moments all time in the og mix.

All I was hoping for that one is boost the bass riff by 100%. Did they do it?

Found a Space Dementia rip on youtube. I think this one I'll prefer the original. It does sound cleaner but the rawness of the original mix seems heavier. Much harder hitting in the verses.

Must be a by region thing. I'm in the US and pre ordered but can't download it.

? Is it out???

I think tonight at midnight. I read that on their fb (I think it was fb, but was posted somewhere recently) but it didn’t have a time zone.

Clip of Microcuts just got posted. Its nice to have something new but seems like the bass got neutered in this mix. But that additional vocal is ace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7TOd9-CDKQ

I imagine Matt had been writing and probably doing some rough demos in his home studio but I doubt any of them have laid down anything official yet. Sounds like they all wanted to be in the same location. This is a win IMO.

Is there a confirmed producer? Insta post mentions one but curious if they're working with Costey again. Would love that.

CE is great, but there are some stylistic changes that will be hit or miss for some people (clean guitar tone change, outro strings, missing phase sounds in outro). But Megalomania IMO just sounds better in every way. The bass in the chorus is SO good. Previously could only hear that in live performances. I don't feel like I'd honestly have any reason to listen to the OG mix of Megalomania now but original CE will still serve a purpose.

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be directed at you personally, I mean I know its your quote lol. But everyone has been saying it since GUAF was announced and Matt made that comment but I think now that we've heard it its definitely a relationship song. But people still mention that its about Matt's uncle.

I wish people would quit saying stuff like this without thinking. It's not about that. It's very obviously about a relationship, although Matt mentioned his uncle in reference to the song most likely in a vague context as a theme for the song and its punch. A song can have multiple themes along in different contexts and clearly his uncle or anyone battling for their life can be a theme without it being "yeah the song is about that" Same thing with Pressure being a song about pressure written directed at "the fans." It's clearly not although feeling Pressure as an artist (and particularly from fans being a theme) while not necessarily being a fan written TO THE FANS as people have claimed. The lyrics make no sense in the context and same goes for GUAF. "I can't survive without your love in my life, you've gotta get up and fight" is clearly not for his uncle lol.

I'm going to guess Black Mirror. Didn't Matt mention being a fan of that show?

Does TaB seem way sped up? wtf. Also a step down but they're playing it really fast.

And actually I remember at the time when Muse was announced as the 2004 Glasto headliners alot of people were like What?? Who? And then people kind of took notice. They were pretty unknown even in Europe compared to the usual Glasto headliner.

I actually tried to but when I google imaged 2004 Matt Bellamy Absolution 99% of the pics were Glasto lol.

Btw does everyone else hate the new board?

Hence key word *relatively* Muse was unknown to alot of the world in 2004. Especially North America. They were known in Europe but that was their first big headlining show where they took over as one of the biggest rock bands in the world. By relatively unknown I'm not saying they were underground. But they weren't as big as they were from then on.

Exactly.

Insert other media It honestly makes me so sad to see a picture of 2004 Matt and remember when he was just a god tier musician from a relatively undiscovered band and didn't have a massive ego.

Walking around with the guitar on his back doing stupid hand gestures. Typical Post-TR Matt.
