  1. I don't consider them bad songs on the whole, just weaker than the rest. Out of curiosity what do you think the weakest tracks on the album are?
  2. Now I've given it time to sink in properly I'll give my in depth opinions: Well that took a while...
  3. It makes me laugh when people complain about this album not being "as heavy as promised". There are some really heavy moments... and they never even promised a "heavy" album. They promised an album that was (mostly) stripped back to a 3-piece rock format and up until aftermath that's exactly what it is. The whole attitude of 'if it's not heavy it's not good' really rustles my jimmies.
  4. Because a Muse-ical (sorry, not sorry) totally wouldn't be corny in any way
  5. With all this talk of Drones: The Musical I could see this being great towards the end. Post-aftermath, the protagonist is old and reads his child the story of The Globalist. The two of them sitting in the corner of the stage while the story is acted out around them. Just a strange image that's been in my head!
  6. - Riff - This is a hard one... Stockholm Syndrone probabaly - Bass - The Handler right now, but probably City of Delusion - Guitar solo - Reapers hands down - Drums - Assassin/Knights of Cydonia - Piano - Exogenesis pt. 2/Ruled by Secrecy - Vocals - Exogenesis pt. 3... Gives me the craziest chills - Backing vocals - Assassin/Dead Star - Chorus - Revolt right now for catchiness, but in terms of just quality probably Space Dementia... or Stockholm - Verses - Take a Bow - Intro - Citizen Erased - Outro - Muscle Museum - Lyrics - Hoodoo Quite a lot of BH&R on here considering it's one of my least favourite albums... just goes to show how good all their stuff is :')
  7. In no particular order: 1. B&H 2. Citizen Erased 3. MK Ultra 4. Exogenesis (it's one song, yo) 5. Explorers 6. Take a Bow 7. The Handler 8. Showbiz 9. Glorious 10. Space Dementia This will probably change a bit after Drones has properly sunk in and/or if I rediscover songs I haven't heard in a while etc
  8. I love the line "It's human nature, the greatest hunter will survive them all" Surpisingly apt
  9. TR: Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra, Exogenesis T2L: Supremacy, Explorers, Liquid State Drones: Dead Inside, The Handler, JFK + Defector
  10. You mean "They'll laugh as they watch us fall"? Also: Why is this track 'Premium-Only' on spotify?
  11. I've always felt BHaR was overhyped a bit. Exo-Politics, MotP, SMBH never really did that much for me, KoC is great live but a bit weak on the album, same with Starlight imo... everyone is entitled to their own opinion though
  12. This might cause some controversy knowing these forums but here we go 1. OoS 2. Absolution 3. T2L 4. Drones 5. Showbiz 6. BHaR 7. The Resistance (The bottom 3 move around order-wise a lot)
  13. That's been a theme on this album for me :/ I like a lot of the production on this album and some of electronic effects on his voice (like in the handler and the chorus of reapers) are really cool, but so many of the tracks have used auto-tune unnecessarily and it's a bit annoying :/
  14. I think the way he says defector is possibly one of the best delivered single words ever
  15. After even more listening i'm getting a bit of heavier space dementia vibe here. It's got that sort of slight classical, haunting falsetto and that really cool (slightly final fantasy sounding ) bassline at 0:51 has a similar sound to it
  16. The tempo works so well I think. It gives it that really great half-time headbang thing and the faster bits don't need to be any faster. This song is just too much for me right now... I love the vocal effects on the words 'programmed' and 'transformation', and the little vocal ee-ah-ee-ah-ee-ah-ee-ays. This song is just too much
  17. The guitar only sounded particularly weak on Animals imo. It was as loud and noticeable as it needed to be everywhere else. A lot of the tracks are less guitar-focused which isn't a flaw in production.
  18. I would much prefer Reapers/Mercy to be produced like that though. The production on the verse let it down which is annoying because live I actually prefer the verse to the chorus :/ What tracks were you talking about then?
  19. Complex production =/= Over-produced. Tracks like Madness/UD/Follow Me use a lot of synths/electronics but it fits the type of sound they're going for and it gels whether you like the song or not. Mercy was poorly produced and this sounds a bit over-produced. There are unnecessary effects on the vocals, the mix is too up and down and it generally doesn't gel like the last two albums do.
  20. SOOO GOOOOOD! But I think this album would sound much better if they produced it themselves, TR and T2L were easily the best produced albums muse have ever made... this is a little overproduced... but still REALLY good!
  21. Explorers for me is one of the strongest songs on T2L, I think it's such an amazingly written piece, from the structure to the melody/chord shifts. I generally find that a lot of people bash songs that are less heavy for simply not being balls-out rock. The same goes for the more electronic songs like Madness/Dead Inside/Follow Me/UD I've seen the argument 'it needs more guitar' pretty often and it's just kinda dumb and close-minded imo.
