Yeah doesn't look like Bristol is happening. Bit rubbish that they announced they were doing it, and then just silently dropped the show without saying why.
-
TBH best stadium I've seen gigs in is the Millennium Stadium but Muse have never bothered playing it. No idea where this Bristol show disappeared to so London it is.
-
Can almost guarantee now we won't get any of the rarity stuff on the Sky Arts coverage given that they only show a few songs. Bet they'll show something like Psycho/PIB/Knights.

I downloaded about 5 "different" leaks and they were all varying degrees of awful compared to the official release. I mean, it's not the best mixed album but it's twice as good as the leak versions I had. The mixing on the drums is the biggest issue for me, the snare sounds pretty lifeless on some of the tracks.
-
I kinda like the abrupt transition from the heavy part to the piano section.
-
The leak was ripped horribly so it was nice to PROPERLY listen to the album. Just having the official version has turned the album from a 6/10 to an 8/10 for me. Whoever the guys were on here saying not to expect the actual release to sound any better than the leak need new ears.
-
They should just do away with choruses for the next album.
-
There's no such thing as "too much solo".
-
So are the clipping/mix/dynamics ect. issues actually on the proper mastered tracks and not just a result of how the leak was ripped?
-
Nah. It's normally a result of how the track is mastered... or hopefully in the case of the leak, whoever ripped the audio did a bad job.
-
Listen to the start of The Globalist and tell me the clipping isn't obvious on all the whistling parts.
-
Well that happens, "volume wars" ect. but I'm talking severe clipping. Not even Death Magnetic clipped as bad as some parts of this leak.
-
The rip sounds different to the official versions on YT and Spotify I've heard and there's glaring clipping issues in quite a few songs.
-
Can't really complain because I've had a chance to listen to the album early but I can't face a second listen now. Will wait until I get it Monday.

I've downloaded 3 versions including a "FLAC" version which someone has obviously converted over from the MP3 leak. Godammit leaker, if you're gonna do it, do it right, I actually can't even force myself to listen to this with the quality this bad.
