  1. They have seemed a bit silent tbh. But also The past 3 albums have been pretty non-stop if you don't count the pandemic (which still had little bits of solo work).
  2. Well that's kind of the thing you need that atmosphere. For a band that's a one-hit-wonder you only have one staple so everything else is fair game. Muse clearly have way more songs they're expected to bring out and that people show up for. On a technical level the singer said the band rehearsed 63 songs from the tour and they'll even do a cover song if they know it and like it. It's definitely not a small task to be able to handle that much dealer's choice.
  3. The days of endlessly arguing about setlists are in the past but worth noting I recently saw live, of all bands, Wheatus, and their entire set was by-request. There's always been comparisons to this band and that band regarding length and variety but I've never seen a band before walk on stage with no planned setlist at all. Obviously I don't think this could happen in anything but a small venue. But imagining Muse doing something like that for one of their smaller shows would be on another level than even SBE.
  4. Last post was at the end of the last tour which was a long time cause of the pandemic. So time for an update. New additions are in bold, except Will of the People songs cause they're all new. Showbiz: Sunburn Showbiz Origin of Symmetry: New Born x4 Bliss x2 Plug In Baby x13 Citizen Erased x2 Feeling Good x2 Absolution: Time Is Running Out x12 Stockholm Syndrome x4 Interlude x11 Hysteria x12 Butterflies & Hurricanes x2 Black Holes & Revelations: Take a Bow x4 Starlight x13 Supermassive Black Hole x13 Map of the Problematique x2 Assassin (GOB) Knights of Cydonia x13 The Resistance: Uprising x12 Resistance x7 Undisclosed Desires x7 United States of Eurasia x4 Guiding Light Unnatural Selection x2 MK Ultra Exogenesis Pt. 1 The 2nd Law: Supremacy Madness x9 Panic Station Prelude x6 Survival Follow Me Animals Liquid State The 2nd Law: Unsustainable x4 The 2nd Law: Isolated System x5 Drones: Dead Inside x3 Psycho x8 Mercy x7 The Handler x2 [JFK] x3 Revolt x2 The Globalist x2 Drones x2 (x4?)

  5. It's a pretty good set they got going for the tour. I liked it well enough. Also seeing Muse in a stadium for the first time was nice and I also maybe too big as I predicted.
  6. Would just like to say I respect that you're still here with the stats after all those years.
  7. Wasn't sure if I'd go to this tour but I'll be going with a friend to Stade de France. I am as always curious about what the shows and sets will be but also jaded as a long time fan that it will be very standard. At least I do legitimately like the new songs.
  8. At under 40 minutes I'm thinking about how I've been on this damn site for almost a decade seeing posts about the benefits of shorter records. I think those were from Clunge? And here they are with a quick and punchy record. I think I'd get tired if it was 50 minutes.
  9. I will also add, the first released tracks also were way more political. It gave the vibe this would be another Drones like song but about the past couple of years. I was also not that excited to hear 10 tracks of Matt going into his "meta-centrism". But the majority of the album ended up being more personal reflections and reactions to the modern times. And interestingly I think the politics of the album work out better because of it. Trying to balance mourning, love, fear, (literal) euphoria, and anger while it feels the world is falling apart? That just feels so much more apt to the times. So much more universal than an us-vs-them anthem.
  10. Didn't post about it here since I was busy but I'm... actually quite digging this album. I'm taking to it quicker than I did the last two. Like yeah it's got a lot of the "later Muse" thing with being overt with rather generic styles but getting past that I actually do like it. And let's face it if you're still here you're probably good at getting past that. This is the first album since The Resistance where I found a lot of really loved tracks were not the ones released prior to release. Except Kill or Be Killed I suppose. I thought Won't Stand Down was fun but really was an excuse to do the big breakdown. The title track was alright and I never got into Compliance despite its nice bass line. Perhaps this is why I'm liking this album but I went into the whole listen with moderate expectations and ended up pleased. Liberation is alright. I love the buildups but I do feel like it cut off before something interesting would have happened. But the harmonies at the end were nice enough. Ghosts is where things started to surprise me. Having just Matt and a piano and singing about lost ones to the pandemic... as someone who did lose family it hit. While I don't think I'd rank it very highly among the "personal" Muse songs this is the first time in a very very long time I've heard something from this band that was both direct and sincerely emotional. No matter how much they try to portray themselves as a tongue-in-cheek band there was a lot of early catalogue songs that were legitimately honest. This one wasn't wrapping itself up in humor to make a point... ...Unlike the Halloween which totally does. I have some issue with how lightly they take domestic abuse, coming from a rich guy that I will assume did not suffer it at all during the confinement. But ok let's go besides that that this song is really fun. When Muse do actually go tongue-in-cheek I like it better when they don't try and hold back about it. It's what made The 2nd Law likable to me. Also the first of a few moments on this album where Matt actually shows off some more level of guitar skill. For once a Muse song I won't learn in like 5 minutes. Verona was nice. I feel like it doesn't stay with me too much. But it's an interesting experimentation on the band's side. I know this forum especially wanted to see them try something more electronic and commit. This is sort of an example? Oddly enough I find the most unfitting part of the song to be Matt's vocals. Something about it feels off in the instrumentation which was very well crafted and delicate. Like a Public Service Broadcasting instrumental but M83 style. The last two tracks are some real good shit. Euphoria is a straight up anime opening song which is a descriptor I never thought I'd use for a Muse song. It's short it's punchy it's catchy as hell it's got the falsetto ending. Fucking Fucked is like a shitpost song and I expected a shitpost song but I was not sure if I would like the shitpost song. Maybe the past couple of years have rendered me insane but I truly felt this track. It's also funnily the opposite of The Void. It's looking at the darkness of the world and instead of saying "we will always triumph over it" saying "lol".
  11. Just pointing out having gotten the files (since those are, in fact, fungible) that they are 96kHz flac.
  12. With cryptocurrency having become one big volatile speculation market everything new that comes from it can be read as another way for people to get money off of it and anything else is intentional or self-convinced justification of the primary motive.
  13. I miss the golden age of this forum when people were active and tokens were fungible.
  14. What would you say is their heaviest? I'm still partial to the studio versions of Dead Star and Ashamed, since a lot of the heavier BH&R and Resistance are weaker on record. Also even if I may not be too into all the songs I do think parts of Drones captured their live jamming sound pretty well.
  15. I like it. The pre-chorus has a nice momentum and I'm glad the choruses on this album are moving away from the "repeat the name of the song a few times" thing they had going on in Simulation Theory (bar Compliance). Does something almost sound live tracked here to anyone? At least the way Matt sings doing his little weird sounds that would normally just be on stage.
