    Album Eight: Simulation Theory

    Yeah, lots of interesting stuff on there! Matt's company is GLOBALIST INDUSTRIES, set up in 2016 or sometehing. Also "alternative titles" of Propaganda is PROPAGANDA (ALBUM VERSION) meaning that there's gonna probably be a single!
    Or it's album version vs acoustic version.

    Honestly every damn movie with a big cast is likely to have a similar poster. It's the way they've been done for decades, and any likeness to Ready Player One is pretty obvious coincidences for any Muse fan. The shades? Matt has been wearing those for ages. The colour scheme? Obviously taken from the whole synthwave style.

    (Shepherds Bush Version)

    (Yes, this is the best version)

    (Goes into TIRO)

    (Goes into Resistance)

     

    Best I've got so far. Will try expand on it later.

     

    EDIT: Added an alt for Munich Jam and a new Adagio riff. Sad thing is this list will get lost among many posts over time.

    You can't have a best Monty performance without Matt on piano!

    So what do we think the two "Alternate Reality Version" are? I'm guessing that means almost opposite, or just a total reworking. I predict the alternate reality Dark Side will be really heavy. Or maybe they will go the Hyper Chrondriac Music route.

    Matt talked about that in an interview a month or so ago, saying it's basically directions that the songs could have taken but they eventually decided against. When they (as we as most other artists) write and record, there are always versions that are scrapped in the end, because a decision has to be made. This could mean a lot of things though. Arcane Roots are actually doing the exact same thing right now.

    I forget, what was the little bit of info we got about Algorithm? When I saw the tweet about a map-ish-ish song I thought that was referring to Algorithm or Blockades or something, but now a few people here suspect The Dark Side is what he was referring to. Which I thought the The Dark Side was supposed to be a heavy track (though maybe he just said "dark"). So I feel like I'm all mixed up now lol

     

    Also I would love if there was a song on here that was heavy on synths (or sounds similar to in The Dark Side), but with some heavy, crunchy riffs. And a little less straightforward.

    Just to clarify, The Dark Side was never said to be heavy. That's just a conclusion a lot of fans drew because Matt talked about a heavy song and The Dark Side had a "heavy" title.

    Even then though I felt it was so low in the mix that it barely has any impact. The thing is, I feel like Dom probably would love to do more intricate stuff sometimes but I have a feeling Matt sort of holds him back sometimes, thinking it doesn't sound as good. I don't know that, I just get that idea from watching the "making of" videos, and just knowing Dom likes drumming the complex songs the best.

     

    As a drummer myself, it's just disappointing because it feels like he isn't as important of a member anymore. I know he does handle a lot of the synth sounds and stuff like that behind the scenes though. But just in terms of drumming. It used to feel like all 3 of them were always making a huge impact in any given song.

    I feel the complete opposite. Dom, in interviews, has given me the impression that he enjoys playing the simpler stuff. And we must have heard different things because I've heard he prefers to avoid stuff like Assassin because of how tired he gets.

     

    LOLWUT :LOL:

    Well it's a lot more accurate than Micro Cuts and some of the other comparisons being made!

    I’d say it’s clear they went for the modern synthwave style rather than actual 80s movies. The colour scheme is a huge hint. But if you just mean using drawn faces for the cover, yeah I guess.

     

    Also 2

     

    Would this be the first time the band members have appeared on the cover of a studio album?

    Well there are only seven covers to check.
