    I still think the most fruitful avenue would be a sustained, album-length crossover of their harder rock, electronic and poppier shades - Bliss, Recess, Shrinking Universe, Hysteria, Endlessly, FAWY, Take A Bow, Starlight, MOTP, Uprising, UD, MK Ultra, Isolated System, Dead Inside, Reapers, Algorithm, Break It To Me and so on. They clearly have an eye for this kind of crossover, where Depeche Mode meets RATM or post-OKC Radiohead meets synthpop. Etc.

    This kind of post comes up in every between-era and maybe one day it'll actually happen so we can stop asking.

    They always seem so close too, like all the songs mentioned, so it always gives up hope they'll flesh it out to its fullest next album but it always veers off.

  2. I also feel like they covered the stuff we wanted to hear. I'm not sure which one they'll go for, or even in what style. I was definitely not expecting a retro album after Drones (or ever).

    Do you mean this?

    I need to watch this! Thanks! I‘ve seen parts of gigs with that stage, it looked amazing! 

    This was the venue but the one I really looked at was the second night. This video is from the first night. I do not know where to find the 2nd night on YouTube but I've seen it out there (it was takeabow19's edit). They were both fantastic shows but second night had the atmosphere I mentioned.

    The Mayan gig is, indeed, brilliant. They seem to play so many of the songs just a touch up-tempo, really helps them feel even more live. Dead Inside was SO good live in the early stages of the Drones tour. In fact, I'd say the highest points of the Drones tour were right up there with Muse's very best post-Absolution. Not a single moment of the ST tour has got remotely close to the Drones tour.

    ‘Cos the ST tour has really been one big ‘moment’ done some...30-40 times :chuckle: Tom Morello coming out for BITM was v cool tbf

    I warned peeps to appreciate the Drones era to it’s fullest ‘cos there’d almost defo be a comedown after. We’ll get there though, it’s still relatively young and you’d think they’ll wanna loosen up from this crazy rigidity eventually.

    The thing with the tours, and having personally experienced this, is that ST's low points haven't gotten nearly as low as Drones'. With my own personal experience both the best and worst Muse shows I have personally seen were from the Drones tour. I don't know if I want that kind of gamble to be a regular thing.

  4. I streamed Wembley 2010 again for /r/muse. It's such a fantastic show I haven't seen the footage in years. Even from the now dated DVD quality multi-cam the atmosphere still comes across strong.

    And it's a real shame there was never a full concert release of that date because it's a beautiful looking show. The stage may have been impractical for the audience but it did wonders for the camera.

    Speaking of rarities and whatnot, I got curious so I crunched some numbers from the last 9 years and here are the odds for what's most likely to make a return in 2018:

     

     

      Reveal hidden contents

    - Working under the definition of a song's 'return' as being gone for at least 3 years before coming back.

     

    - Most popular records/eras for returns: Origin (13), Showbiz (9), Absolution (7)

     

    - Most common no. of years passed before a song makes a return: 3 years (6), 8 years (5), 12 years (4)

     

    - Most popular year groups: 11-15 years (10), 6-10 years (8), 3-5 years (8)

     

    - Has the song made more than 1 comeback?

     

    - Does the song have fan backing/get requested?

     

    - Was the song on the Shepherd's Bush voting list?

     

    - The band have never brought back a song that's been gone for more than 15 years so anything else that was last played in 2002 or before ain't counted.

     

     

    Likelihood: Strong | Decent | Slight | Weak (

    )

     

    Uno, Cave | Space Dementia, Megalomania, Ruled By Secrecy, Unintended, Forced In, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, MK Ultra, Unnatural Selection, Animals, Guiding Light, Soldier's Poem, Invincible, City Of Delusion, Unsustainable | The Small Print, Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist, Exo-Politics, Hoodoo, Falling Down, Overture, Man Of Mystery, Neutron Star Collision, Popcorn, Explorers | Darkshines, Screenager, Eternally Missed, I Belong To You, Liquid State, Sign O' The Times, Lithium, Crying Shame, Do We Need This, Nature_1, Map Of Your Head, Falling Away With You, Redemption, Aftermath, Save Me

     

    Muse average around 4 song returns a year, just as an fyi. Oh, and this is all obvs super factual.

    lol we got Unsustainable.
