And that's what I replied to? Which is why I'm saying the only thing they have in common is the use of synths. Simulation Theory seems to be very based on the 80s in general, while Follow Me is modern pop+brostep.That it has a similar style in production. -
What did you mean then?
-
Follow Me uses synths, that's about all it has in common with the upcoming album. Much like both Muse and Bob Dylan use guitars.
MOTP however...
-
… interesting description that, given UD isn't really rocky (although I did hear a cool sounding rock-based reinvention of the track a while ago).
Actually I realise now I remember it wrong. It was prog-metal.
-
now that he described it as “synth pop” the mystery is gonei also don’t ever trust non-music head’s descriptions of muse so i hope he is wrong or woefully generalizing the sound...
uh
but yeah I was about to say the same thing. I would never trust some random dude's description based on a first listen. I've heard Muse fans describe Undisclosed Desires as prog-rock, so I take every description with a grain of salt.

It was not.

It's basically the general genre soundAfter two listens it indeed is miles better than DD and SB. The grooviness is infectious. The chorus is maybe a bit flat. I think I slightly prefer TC but this could easily change in a few listens. What bothers me is that parts of the track sound straight out of a Kavinsky ep. (I have no deeper knowledge of the referenced genre so I don't know if it's actually more about general genre sound).It did take me couple of days to get around to listening to it, in fear of it being as disappoiting as DD and SB, so this is a relief.

Honestly I find Chris rather anonymous on guitar. He can play but when you compare to someone like Matt, he really lacks his own style and it sounds rather stale (Blackout is a good example).
But then again he would probably develop more of a unique style if he got to play more guitar live.
Give me a performance where Dom plays guitar, Chris plays the drums and Matt plays the bass though.
-
So you're saying the 'real' Muse is pop songs like SH and not neo-prog like "The Globalist"?
No he isn't.
-
It’s literally just one person.I can see a lot of dissing Interpol in this thread. How dare you people? "Turn on the Bright Lights" is a masterpiece. -
yes
-
No proof whatsoever.

One of the things that also made me think it could be an actual Muse instrumental was the percussion part, which definitely sounds like it could have come from this:
-
Definitely wasn't Algorithm.
-
Noticed that too but seemed more like a generic beat than anything muse would've made so I assumed it was just that. Time will tell
Yeah I would never in a million years think that it was Muse in any other case. Was just weird that they only played Muse songs for the entire interview and then that...
-
Okay so during the entire interview they had Muse instrumentals playing in the background, but in the last part the instrumental wasn't any known Muse song. It sounded a bit too generic to actually be Muse but might be interesting anyway so I'll upload that part separately.
-
Well it's still on. It's basically a Muse playlist with Matt and Dom talking about old memories inbetween. Nothing major in terms of news. They're not even allowed to say the album name.
-
Okay so the interview is prerecorded from July and they're not even allowed to say the album title.
Don't except much from this.
EDIT: Posted in the wrong thread, oh well.
-
So wassup with this Zane Lowe interview, anyone listening? Any info?
I have no idea why Muse's social media said it started 50 minutes ago. Zane Lowe isn't even on yet.
But I'm gonna record it.
-
Yeah, but while I still think UD was a nice attempt at making a downright R'n'B/synthpop song musically speaking, now it makes me cringe a little when I read its lyrics. "You may be a sinner / But your innocence is mine" is the worst offender regarding that for me, considering also the way Matt sings it. It really seems a pass taken from a teenage girl diary.
Not sure what kind of diaries you’ve been reading, or how it makes it less of a pop song.
-
I can probably rip it tomorrow.

We’ve not had any more descriptions or anything linked to song names so all you could really update would be that ‘Map 2’ ended up being TDS.
Other than that, we’ve still just got:
Algorithm - romantic classical piano w/ Blade Runner/video game synths
Pressure - ‘classic Muse’, riffs
Blockade - apparently similar to New Born
Unknown acoustic driven song
Unknown song w/ 7 string (could be Blockade or Pressure)
Why not 7-string acoustic??

I hear them panned to the left. To me it's most audible during "I hail from the darker side" around 1.30.Can't say I hear them.
Speculation on future gigs/tours
