Maybe he thinks things are more complex than just sitting in one camp or the other and loathing everyone who doesn't think like you. (which is what a lot of mainstream political discourse seems to have descended into)
-
37 minutes long and have to wait until August? That's a bit cringe. Quite like Compliance though.
-
I maintain that this is a good song, as is Aftermath, although in Aftermath those backing vocals are a bit too much, let's be honest.
-
Something like that. Probably will change my mind in a hour or so. Also ST presumes the second disc is included.

Eh, I usually get irritated by overt, ham-fisted political messaging, but in the music/arts scene it's usually establishment-pushing/left-leaning so Muse's approach to lyrics is feeling quite refreshing in this instance. There's been a lot of pressure, political, social and economical on people recently and I'm feeling the primal energy and no-nonsense vibe they're going for here. Regarding stuff about the WEF, etc, it depends on how it's done really. The WEF does exist as a international body and does seem to have more influence than people might like to accept (Justin Trudeau for example is basically a WEF plant), and pretty radical plans in the pipeline (you'll own nothing and be happy, is the take-home line), so it's understandable to be wary of it. Matt has some interesting opinions, and talks about some strange conspiratorial stuff, but I think most of the time he's just entertaining ideas, so I'm trying not to get too worked up about it. You don't really have to be a "nutter" to see that things aren't quite right with the status quo at the moment, and also to see how massively demonised people are (like Laurence Fox for example) just for airing reasonable concerns and mirroring what the public are saying. We're heading into pretty unsettling and backward times, I reckon. Bring on the album for a bit of respite.

I'll be honest, I hope that Will of The People chant isn't even on a song, or if it is, it's heavily obscured and buried under other elements.
-
If that last shot is the album cover then that's me sold. Looks sick.
-
Sounds like a low B to me, the chorus starting on a G, so potentially played on a 7 string.
-
Holy shit that was good. Love the mix, sounds beefy and epic. Can't fault it really, after 1 listen. A bit short maybe, could've done with the bridge and outro being a tad longer. Also I actually like the lyrics which is nice, they feel very relevant. Perhaps the whole thing feels cathartic after the politically polarised last several years in particular.
-
Liking that artwork, dark but in a sophisticated way. Sleep Token vibes, too, which is always a good thing.
-
That song sounds amazing. Heavy Dead Star vibes but with an electronic (ST-ish?) vibe too. In regards to any very topical and political lyrics, I like it when it's vague and generalised, but any ultra-specific stances come off as ham-fisted and cringeworthy, and that includes either side of the Covid debate. Usually Muse are pretty good at dealing with heavy subjects . I also do enjoy Matt's outlook and commentary regardless of if I agree with it or not, he seems quite the free-thinker and an interesting mind.
-
Is it out yet?
-
I quite enjoyed the CE mix. Like what they've done with the clean guitar tones. Looking forward to this.
-
I disagree that switching from heavy / light or fast / slow is always bad flow. Look at Hoodoo for example, quite a radical change but still works cohesively together. There's more to it.
-
Could be for The Expanse.
-
Guiding Light is good tbh.

Share your controversial Muse opinions II - More Radiohead talk
Hopix replied to superimposition's topic in Other Muse Topics
Muse have no terrible songs. -
Agreed. The point in the track is it has a repetitive couple of layers from the start that are built on top of, increasing in complexity but keeping the hook as time goes on. Brilliant track.

So Muse did invent djent afterall. -
Not necessarily. You could just be rounding up a decimal place.
-
Brutal.
-
Only 10 year-olds have an issue with that line.
-
Bingo.
-
I'd recommend seeing a doctor asap.
-
I've decided this is a good track simply because of dat drum fill.
