    Simulation Theory Tour Live gig discussion — spoiler friendly

    in Tours

    Posted · Edited by wildwilly

    So I went to the MUSE show in Dallas on Sunday 2/24.  and here are my thoughts: 

    Best song live off the new Simulation Theory Album is (hands down) The Dark Side with Algorithm being a close 2nd.  

    The show itself IS one of the best MUSE shows I have ever attended.  The use of live actors / dancers really works as well as the gigantic screen behind the band. 

    If you want to get a high five from Matt then park yourself in front of the "B stage" that extends out form the main stage. 

    Worst live song off the new album?  Propaganda hands down might be one of the worst MUSE songs I have ever heard.  Can not BELIEVE this one made it onto the setlist. 

    The set list is like 24-25 songs long ...which for any MUSE fan is FANTASTIC.  

    I still think GA is the way to go (if you don't mind standing). 

    The most surprising omission form the set list is Something Human.  Again..can not believe that Propaganda could get picked by the band over a much better song like Something Human. 

    Chris needs to spend more time on the B stage that extends out from the main stage...he barely played on it solo (only the opening bars of Hysteria as well as the gospel version of Dig Down). 

    The use of medleys takes some getting used to.  I am surprised they are doing this...but at least you get to hear a tid bit of a song you might not otherwise here at all. 

    The opening act (Walk the Moon) was okay.  I would rate a 6 out of 10. 

    On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it an 8.  Really good show.

    Can anybody who attended this concert comment on if the enhanced experience/VIP ticket holders got let in at the same time as everyone else like in Houston or if they were let in early like they were supposed to be.  Thanks☺

    I was at the show in Dallas last night and do not know the answer to your question.  HOWEVER, I will tell you that I got there late after the opening act came on and was still able to get pretty close to the stage.

    Album Eight: Simulation Theory

    I've been listening to this album all evening trying to give it a chance but I find myself liking it less with each listen. My last run-through went kinda like this.

     

    Algorithm and The Dark Side are a great start.

    Pressure is catchy but ultimately forgettable.

    Propaganda is pretty awful.

    I listen to Break It To Me struggling to figure out why so many are raving about it. For me, it's terrible but to each their own.

    Something Human...skip

    Thought Contagion...skip

    Get Up and Fight...skip

    Blockades...better but still kinda forgettable

    Dig Down...yep still sucks, skip

    The Void is great but it only makes me want to skip the rest of the album more quickly to get to it.

     

     

    Not trying to be a turd in the punchbowl here but this album is destined to be my least favorite Muse album. I'm not surprised because I saw it coming from the early singles. That said, I won't begrudge others for enjoying it.

     

    TOTALLY agree. Two REALLY good songs (Algorithm and Dark Side are fantastic)...and then the album falls off a cliff.

    The Dark Side

    So I sometimes wonder if Matt (being the true front man who writes all the music, etc) wants to be front and center.

     

    Well, if you watch the video ...you notice that Chris and Dom are nowhere to be found. Just Matt....
