    Knights is good, but the studio version pales in comparison to the live one. And no, that's not the case with most Muss songs.
  2. Hat
    Most likely yeah.
  3. Hat
    Another opinion that's shared by like at least half the forum, while the rest have at like...second worst.

    City of Delusion is better in every way imaginable.
  5. Hat
    We've seen some studio pics but it's definitely not an album. Probably a single.

    lol

    Psycho would have been great if it was 2 minutes shorter and didn't have the Drill Sergeant part. I really can't understand why they would make a 5 minute song with only a riff and a half repeated over and over. And being intentionally cheesy doesn't make it better imo. Muse are at their best when they take themselves seriously.

    Personally I think that The Handler is great, Reapers and Dead Inside are good, and the rest of the album is....decent to awful. For me, the album is dragged down by Revolt, Mercy, The Globalist and Aftermath. A pretty big chunk of the album.

    It's so fun to think about that you've actually posted a list already http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=74370

    You know you don't HAVE to pick any of it, right? You don't need to stick to music that you think is decent. Just...listen to something else. We're not voting for a new president.
  11. Hat
    Maybe they didn't even make it that far I like how you defend Drones by saying it's decent. Gotta love those decent records.
  12. Hat
    Yeah you're probably right. Megalomania really is the perfect closer of OoS, while HCM is the perfect closer of Hullabaloo.
  13. Hat
    HCM could close the album imo. It could even become quite meaningful.
  14. Hat
    Yes but it was literally written after the album was released, it wasn't a leftover. Futurism was written in 2000 along with most of the Origin songs.
  15. Hat
    In Your World was written after the album was released. But yeah there are plenty to choose from. Futurism, Shrinking Universe or Hyper Chondriac Music (including them both on the album would work imo) would be my suggestions.
  16. Hat
    Not even this version?
  17. Hat
    True, there are riffs.
  18. Hat
    I'm usually against saying this, but I really don't get what people see in Yes Please and Agitated.
  19. Hat
    Yeah not sure why they would put already released b-sides on a future album. Oh and Literally no one said that though.

    Nothing positive to say about Abso?

    Slightly different idea to bring some short life into this section. Try to keep it to one thing per album. Like this: Showbiz: Best: The honesty. Unmatched by any other album in that regard. It didn't take long for Muse to become an act with their music. Worst: The whining. Both by Matt and the instruments. So many high pitched sounds that the bass could barely make up for, and Matt...well...you know. Origin of Symmetry: Best: The originality. Sure, it took from classical music and video games, but they made it their own, and it sounded like nothing at the time. Worst: Feeling Good. A bit predictable, sorry. Absolution: Best: The attention to detail. I mean it's mostly buried in that messy mix, but this is really where Muse have done most of their best work in the background. The synths in SS, the strings and backing vocals in Butterflies & Hurricanes and the amazing instrumental in general to Endlessly. Muse rarely ever got it right after this, and almost always went over the top or simply became a parody of songwriting. Worst: The order of the songs. Just a fucking mess. Black Holes & Revelations: Best: The vocals. In general, this album had the best mix of Matt's two eras of vocals. He didn't have that popstar/hero voice, but he had gotten rid of the whiny and rather thin sound of Showbiz and OoS. Worst: What happened to Assassin and Exo-Politics. The Resistance: Best: Exogenesis I guess? Not totally sure tbh. Nothing really stands out. Worst: The Queen influences? Not really sure here either. The 2nd Law: Best: Isolated System. Everything about it really. The piano, the string arrangement, the synths and bass. Honestly everything is perfect. And not even the voiceover can ruin it. Worst: How disjointed it is. It really brings down the album as a whole for me, which I've repeated enough times already. Drones: Best: The sound. It was either that or "Dead Inside, Reapers and The Handler". But yeah, the mixing and mastering is great. Everything can be heard, and it doesn't sound too clean and lifeless, which almost happened to the previous two. Worst: The song quality. Mercy, Revolt, The Globalist, Aftermath, Defector, this album really has too many mediocre songs.

    It's mostly just pitched up, but they also added some backing vocals for example. I didn't listen that closely so dunno if there was something else.
  23. Hat
    Just reminds me of how much better Muse could be with an extra guitarist (just include Morgan damnit)
  24. Hat
    Exactly. No more Muse for me.
  25. Hat
    Looks like we have nothing to worry about, guys.
