  1. I really like the remixed CE, looking forward to hearing the rest. I don't think it's meant to replace the originals, but I really like that the drums, guitar, and piano are much more prominent in the new mix. Also it seems they finally added the strings that were originally supposed to be in the song (in the outro section). 

  2. I'm late but I did finally get mine over a month after release (despite pre-ordering within an hour of announcement). Even though I had heard most of the Newton Abbot stuff before, I never paid much attention to it because the quality was so bad. But I really enjoyed them on the CD that came with the box set! The songs are still rough around the edges, but the energy is classic Muse.

    I also wasn't expecting to love the actual book part of the set as much as I did. It was nice to see the band have such positive things to say about their early material, particularly with how much they have tried to distance themselves from their first couple of albums.

    Overall I'm super pleased with the OoM, I just wish it hadn't taken so long to be shipped to me.

  3. I get that, but what can we do at this point? They consistently deflect any criticism of US setlists by claiming that they're just playing what most Americans want to hear. Honestly though I'd be more ok with a greatest hits setlist if they would actually change the order of the songs between tours, just do something to make the tired songs feel fresh. That being said, I've yet to see a bad Muse gig out of the 9 I've been to (probably because I skipped the Drones tour :chuckle:). But I think your enjoyment of this tour might depend most on how much you liked ST.

  4. The title "Pray" instantly made me think of Handmaid's Tale, though I believe that doesn't premiere until June. Would love if it's for The Twilight Zone though, since that's one of my favorite shows of all time. Either way, the song sounds pretty fantastic imo.

    This quickly went from "this tour's gonna be massive" to "maybe it'll only suck in America again".

    I've seen positive comments from those who were there though and I'm glad to hear that. It gives me hope.

    Yeah I've pretty much given up hope of Muse giving us comparable setlists to everywhere else in the world. So going in without expecting setlist surprises helped me just enjoy it for the spectacle that it was. 

  6. Just got back from the Phoenix show. I had been on a Muse internet blackout to avoid spoilers. Some thoughts:

    Easily my favorite live production from them, every single song had something visually stunning to look at. 

    Setlist was ok, I would've liked for them to bring back something they hadn't played in years but the length was a real pleasant surprise. 

    I knew there was gonna be a giant robot but I didn't realize just how massive that thing is. I was worried it malfunctioned or something because it was getting near the end of the show and it hadn't made an appearance, and when it finally did during SS, my jaw dropped. 

    I've seen Take a Bow twice now and it's been a highlight both times, that song is so powerful live.

    And finally all the ST songs were great live! Just missing The Void for me. 

    9.5/10 would go again. 

  7. Glad we're back! Had to re-upload a profile pic, fix my signature, etc. Not a fan of merging the two accounts because I lost my username of just "Tesseract" but I get why they'd want to merge them. Overall I miss some aspects of the old design (like all the possible info below people's names next to their posts), but hopefully this one will be looking nice before long.
