I love Reapers, Dead Inside and the Handler, but that album had some horrible horrible mixing. Even the movie concert had terrible audio EQ as well. Anyway, it could've been a loop of Guiding Lights.

This does sound very much in the vein of OoS-Abso-BHAR, maybe playing Fury, Glorious, Easily and those other b-sides a year ago helped them come back to their senses! This is the best song from the new album so far, and yes, it's definitely better than 93% of Drones. I had been hoping for them to go back to something akin toT2L-TR, those albums sounded more genuine than the forced "hard rock" sound of Drones; I think it paid off. Btw, I've already listened TDS more times today than I have listened to Something Human in a month.

I'm a long time Muser who is flying from Mexico to the R + L gigs, I'd love to go to this show. Anyone got a spare ticket? I'll be happy to pay full price and buy you a couple of beers and a t-shirt, please I am in absolute despair that I just read about this gig minutes ago. EDIT: I read that this is similar to Radiohead's gigs where you couldn't change the name in your order. My question is, if you bought 2 tickets, did Ticketmaster put both tickets under your name or did it ask you to write the name of your companion? I just want to now if I have a shot asking you guys in case your guests can't attend I'm against scalpers, to make it up I'll stand on my intention to buy you some beers and a t-shirt from the merch stand

That setlist could be amazing if you were stoned. 1 1/2 hours of pure laughter

I really liked T2L, it was a fun album and I didn't mind the musical variety. The first time I heard Madness and Panic Station I said to myself that I wouldn't mind having Muse go down that road. After the forced "deep" lyrical content of Drones, I very much welcome this new song. Not since TR had Matt written okay lyrics that were not cringeworthy (some will disagree). As Muse struggled to get that heavy sound into Drones, I really like that they've gone back to what they were experimenting with a couple of years ago, since it is a fact that old Muse will never be back and their recent attempts have been subpar. I'd rather have them making a good pop song than unleashing a million drones. P.S. I find it funny how people are now loving Drones, just like they loved TR when T2L came out. When Album 10 The Hip Hop Hits arrives, people will be longing for the Dig Down era

I think Muse read the boards on Thursday, I can tell you that Chris, Dom & Morgan played Prelude and Dom & Morgan played Isolated System. I can also confirm CE was amazing! I'd say it's JFK before Revolt. Starlight might be overplayed but it's still a good song. Revolt might be the worst Muse song ever
-
I want this for tonight: JFK + Defector Drill Sergeant + Psycho Reapers Dead Inside Map of the Problematique/Dead Star (if only) Isolated System The Handler Muscle Museum/Uno Supermassive Black Hole Prelude + Starlight Citizen Erased Sunburn/Feeling Good/Apocalypse Please Munich Jam Madness Undisclosed Desires JFK + Revolt Time is Running Out Uprising The Globalist Drones Mercy + Confetti Knights of Cydonia

I finally uploaded Revolt and The Globalist form the first night if you still want to watch them from the front rows' perspective. Expect lots of screaming, out of tune chanting and off beat clapping; it is the front row after all. I gave the videos funny names so Warner won't find them and take them down so fast. November 17th: Revolt [YT]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsmXsMZLJU4[/YT] The Globalist [YT]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJdjN_eS4ek[/YT]

That's right. And because it's a festival, maybe Muse will throw something interesting in there for us. I'm guessing 3 servings of Drones
-
I just wanted to tell you that the Palacio de los Deportes is infamous for its horrendous acoustics, so its possible that there was some feedback/reverb/echo/weird audio that either made it seem that Matt was miming or that encouraged the youtuber to use the better audio in the video he posted. The video being edited, as improbable as it seems, is probably true since the sound was plain AWFUL the first night, I went to both gigs and I can tell you that the second night saw a substantial improvement in the gig's sound. Speculating over these gigs will get you nowhere, you have to wait until Muse doesn't play in a venue with shitty sound
-
Well, I finally got to upload Revolt from November 17th, here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsmXsMZLJU4&feature=youtu.be <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AsmXsMZLJU4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It's gonna be uploaded here: https://youtu.be/AsmXsMZLJU4 It's taking forever, Mexico is renowed for its crappy internet. In about 5 hours it'll be up. The Globalist was gonna take like 10 hours so I gave up for today with that one.
-
Given the number of dates some cities are having, maybe the 2nd night syndrome will become into the 4th-5th night syndrome. While I'm hoping for Map tonight, I guess we'll get Feeling Good, Resistance and 3 good repeats of Drones. MUSE: I WANT TO BELIEVE

Now you're dead inside

I'm 1.70m and I stood in the middle. I'll attach some photos so you can get a clear picture of how it was. I did record Revolt by accident thinking it was going to be Defector (oh, the disappointment), but I also recorded The Globalist. I'm trying to downsize them and I think I'll upload them later after treating myself to a delicious CERVEZA!!
-
I arrived at the queue around 5:00-5:30 PM, the doors opened at 6:30 PM. I was like 15-18 feet away from the stage and even though the stage is definitely lower than how it was in T2L I could still see the band, even Morgan was visible at some times. I do think that the experience is better from further away.
-
I'm starting to fear that Defector is going to be this tour's MK Ultra :/
-
I just got home back from the gig and I can tell you that JFK leading into Revolt was the most dickish move of the year, I could not believe my dissapointment. I also cannot understand how Drones was played two times and Isolated System, as cool as it is, took up an entire slot in the setlist. I'm not sure how to feel that I witnessed the live debut of Revolt and The Globalist (a bigger dissapointment live, the studio version is "better"). The drones were meh. On the upside, I really liked that they opened the set with Reapers, I finally got to hear Apocalypse Please and Matt also dedicated Mercy to the people of Paris who are in distress right now. This has been my less favorite Muse gig ever, I hope that the next days are better. EDIT: I'm not sure, the sound was not that good (the venue's fault) but I think they played Prelude before Starlight. EDIT 2: Resistance is finally gone. I'll take UD any day over that awful song.
-
On my first listen, Revolt was the point where I completely lost the faith in Drones. It's an awful song, there's nothing Muse-y about it. Even when trying new styles a song can feel like Muse. Madness had that Muse feeling in the falsetto and the small guitar solo, NSC had all the poppy elements from TR and BHAR, Panic Station's solo was reminiscent of Hysteria's and even the first time we heard the leak of Mercy we could see some elements from BHAR. Revolt is just plain awful. If they wanted a radio friendly song they could have chosen Aftermath, which is mostly good until the cheese arrives at the end of the song.
-
And more importantly, no Resistance
-
If they start playing MWAH I'll laugh my ass off. I think ending on SS was good enough, maybe they could close their set with Assassin...or a good encore with Starlight and Resistance
-
What Muse could pull off this night but sadly won't: Muscle Museum Showbiz Uno Host Microcuts Citizen Erased Dead Star Fury Assassin Liquid State
-
I just saw the preview Muse posted for the Mercy video. The mix sounds different, I can hear more clearly the synth arpeggios, the guitar volume is lower and definitely less saturated and Matt's voice sounds a little different. Perhaps they realized what an atrocious mix they made and they'll update the song. They sort of did this with Psycho, the first time I downloaded in iTunes it had the guitar strum at the beginning and now it starts right away at the riff. Did anybody else noticed this or am I imagining things?
-
I don't know if it's been brought up already, but if the tour is to follow the "concept" concept of the album, wouldn't it be awesome for Muse to play this song after Showbiz and MK Ultra? Something like: Psycho ... Dead Inside Map of the Problematique Stockholm Syndrome Mercy .. MK Ultra Reapers ... Showbiz The Handler
