dat slow plug in baby riff, it'll be an ambient song if they play it any slower.

This has probably already been posted by many, but the "the greatest hunter will ssuurrviiiiiiiiive alooooooone" line is bloody amazing.
Ed. Its probably my favourite vocal on the album. So forlorn.

Hahahah "“Revolt is among their most creative songs, a two-speed storm built on monumental riffs” – NME" NME in charge of useful descriptions.

Because Matt wanted CE2, but missed almost everything of what makes CE great
I don't think he really knows what he wants at all!

Really didn't need the whistling at the start of The Globalist. The bit where the singing comes in is great, though, and it transitioned nicely. The heavy section is insane, so why in the fuck did they cut it so short? Love the choir, too. The piano ballad ending for Citizen Erased worked because by the time they get to it the bulk of the song feels like it's reached its natural conclusion. This is so forced.
One has to ask why on earth they didn't just carry on playing noisy Handler-style things for the final 3 minutes instead of a safe piano ballad. I think it would have fitted the theme just as well... Heck, since its basically the "prechorus" of Helsinki Jam why not just carry it on into the main body of the jam, the heavy plugged notes would have been awesome. It would have been incredibly fun for them to play live too... There's nothing to lose!

Completely forgot to mention Aftermath. Its still a bit strange to me, would be a lot better without the strings and the other assorted background waffle I think.

So, after the ed. MY melodrama, the dust has settled. I had a break, listened to some other stuff, but over the last hour I listened to the album all the way through while playing War Thunder and actually really enjoyed it, even Revolt and Drones. The last section of Globalist still sounds too much like USoE for my liking but its ok. The first two sections are really good anyway. Listening to it just as another song, rather than a Muse song, Revolt's verses are pure hair metal 80's Bon Jovi style nonsense feat. Brian May but the chorus is pure 60's. Turns out the key to me enjoying this album is not pay tooo much attention! To be honest, The Globalist and Drones actually made me feel a little bit of the feels. I don't entirely know how, but they did.

Surprised there's not more hate for this album on here, I expected a lot of anger over the cheesier songs, lol. - snip -
You must have not been in this thread three hours ago XD

Cut the last section out from Globalist and added a bit of fadeout.. it's almost perfect now (well, ends a bit too fast but at least with fadeout it's not so sudden). Shame theres nothing to be done with the rest of the songs tho...
I wish I could ask you to PM me your edit without risking an infraction lol
-
Globalist should end at 6:58.. gonna cut it and listen to it without that last section..
Pretty much exactly what I just said lol. Fade it out as the piano comes in and it's perfect. Its the second best thing to having that bit carry on as full on rock till the end of the song.
-
Aftermath is very good, I've been wanting them to veer into this territory for ages. Wide soundscape, progressive structure, lead guitar everywhere, slow and atmospheric.
Ahem. Isolated System has existed for 3 years now! Maybe sans 'lead guitar everywhere,' but you have the added bonus that there's no singing.
-
If you begin fading out The Globalist from 6.35 to 7.00 it sounds like a perfect closing track. Just a shame the piano doesn't resolve itself properly before the bit with the singing starts.
-
What's everyones favourite moment on the album then so far?
I'd say that high pitched solo/riff from Defector. Sounds totally
As I've previously said, I think its the best guitar work on the album. Its a lovely solo, absolutely lovely.
-
I don't see what many are saying, I think The Globalist riff fits perfectly. Just like the Reapers riff, it is just very very loud. Everything after it is what's weird and random and shoe-horned in out of nowhere. The song should have carried on in that vein for 4 more minutes. Why did they choose the other path
-
Well, it was nice knowing you all.
Muse is over. No offense to anyone who still like them.
Ill just shut myself in my room and only listen to abso
-
People are saying that Bing didn't like the softer stuff so the next album is going to be heavier. Source?

What a major disappointment. Aftermath, revolt, the globalist and drones are hilariously bad. Burst out laughing at every one of them especially drones. Such a shame considering reapers and the handler are probably their two best songs since knights.
At least Muse are kind and gave you 10 minutes of The Globalist to allow your throat to recover from so many outbursts of laughing. Unless of course you were laughing all the way through, in which case, fuck, you should enter a competition
-
Revolt sounds really strange, its like Queen and One Direction and The Darkness got mashed in a blender. I can see why people like it though. Its just not my cup of tea at all. Considering at the moment I'm listening to pretty much nothing but Oceansize and 65DOS I hope you'll understand where I'm coming from.
Chorus is pure radio pop rock though. It could do really well as a single. The kickkickkick-snare-kickkickkick-snare- drums in the last part of the chorus, whatever that is called, is good though. That drumming pattern could be really good in any song.
-
The Defector solo is definitely the best bit of guitar on the album.
Ok, time for Revolt, round 2. Lets see if I think its just as horrible this time round.
-
Some mega-haters up in here.
Revolt is nothing special, but it's a catchy upbeat song. The people who say it's offensively awful are crazy.
Maybe some people think differently to you. Maybe you think differently to these people. Is this really so hard to grasp?
-
Was half expecting a "Shhhhhh, go to sleep" at the end of The Globalist. Explorers v2.
Its a bit clunky but I'm determined to make United States of Explorers a thing.
-
What's everyone's beef with Revolt? It sounds like something straight from Showbiz.
I'd like to hear your reasoning here, actually

MWAH would be cooler if Matt did the harmonica bits on the guitar, and Chris did the guitar parts on his bass. At the very least it would be more interesting... MWAH was really cool when they started doing it all those years ago
