I'm fine with no previews. Did they even do it for the last album? I must have been in a coma because I hardly remember anything for the lead up to that one.
I only remember a gig at Battersea that never happened.
-
Definitely great concept! However, Save Me and Liquid State weren't quite the best, vocally as well as instrumentally.
And having the two come together on The Globalist would make it a cheese fest, like a duo... in any song... it's cheesy and lame.
But other than The Globalist comment, good idea! In theory...
Uhm, the live versions of Hyper Music and in lesser sense The Small Print where Matt shares lead vocals with Chris sounded awesome.
-
I find it odd how Matt plays the little solo at the beginning live (Jools performance for example), kind of feels like he messes up the rythm.
Probably because I'm expecting it to be the same as the studio version, or something.
-
I find Reapers compareable to New Born in a way. Fun riff, the verses feel similar because of the guitar work and the excellent bass groove, guitar tapping and whammy wankery like the live NB solo's.
Really love the song, and ridiculously fun to play on guitar. If the studio version ends up being good, it might rank amongst a my favourite Muse songs.

its almost like these women are trying to be like the band Haim
They sounded nothing like Haim.
-
This woman's guitar sounds lame.
-
Sounded fine to me. Dead Inside wasn't great but that's not the fault of the mix...
Voice wasn't always mixed right in comparison to the other instruments, KoC sounded off for example. And his voice was too loud compared to the rest during Dead Inside.
Then again. Reapers, Mercy and Psycho sounded fine.
-
The mix was fine.
It wasn't always fine.
-
Only took three or four times asking before I got a decent response ayy. What songs had the weird effects?
I gave you a decent response.
-
it's just that none of the songs are actually dark psycho is just riffing around, mercy is another "oh my souuul" anthem and reapers is like robbie williams/acdc/morello+that fucking shameless chord progression.
Call it what you want, Reapers is dark.
-
The main riff is totally Rage sounding.
Yup.
-
To be fair, I remember listening to Survival and Madness trying to find good things about them until one day I just gave up. Not been the same initial reaction with Reapers, Mercy and Psycho. I actually do like them. Pretty sure I'll dislike Dead Inside in time, though.
Same, I never the singles from the 2nd Law the same amount of attention as I do for the released Drone tracks.
-
Christ reading those T2L reactions was depressing, didn't realise how much it was praised when released. Only one or two voices saying what most of us think of it by now. Are we destined to repeat this cycle again?
The cycle can not be broken.

Has the PiB riff sounded particularly strong for a while noe? And the mix is irrelevant, there'll be an individual broadcast mix and even then the band have their own mix so wouldn't even know what it sounds like out front anyway, if we're talking about the guys' performance that is

Lord knows what's going on in the beginning, and his guitar has a tone that rivals GSK in this intro.
Matteh also used the wrong fuzz in during the first part of the DI intro. And the mix was just off in a lot of songs, which is obviously not audible to them, but still.
-
I like Mercy a lot more live, it just sounds a lot better.
-
The mix is godawful
It sure is.
-
Fucking hell, why is Matt's voice so loud compared to the guitar. Makes KoC sound weird.
-
"Are you going go-karting?"
-
Ignore smoledman, he's been whinging for months.

1. Dead Inside
2. [Drill Sergeant]
3. Psycho
4. Mercy
5. Ripazu
6. The handlers
7. [JFK]
8. Defekuta
9. Rivu~oruto
10. Aftermath

Google Chrome's translate option made some of these songs have great names. I think the official title for Reapers should now be Ripazu.

Can I just remind everyone that NME ran an article on T2L last time round where they said that Supremacy contained the line "The seas have risen up". Wouldn't be surprised if they're just as clueless about the Reapers chorus as we are.
I'm going with this, because that line just sounds awfully weird.
-
Wouldn't be surprised if they never play the Globalist live.

But true. I've "fallen out of love" with all the bands I really used to enjoy, and pretty much all I listen to is older music that I got into ages ago.
Still seeking out new stuff, but think maybe I'm just at a point where music doesn't speak to me much anymore? Sad, but maybe true.
Fair enough, but if you're working as a music critic, it would be nice if you spent more time critiquing the... you know... music...
You are already dead.

Instrumentally it feels a bit empty because he isn't playing the guitar during the verses imo.
