  1. I'm having a similar problem! I'm trying to login and it boots me back to the login page. Unable to access my account. So unfortunately I don't know a fix, but if it's affecting a lot (or all) people hopefully it will be fixed soon.
  2. really well said (and welcome back)! I totally agree about the pacing and the "lows" not being nearly as bad. Origin is still my favourite, and I imagine it'll never get topped. But I'm very happy with this latest outing.
  3. Okay, here are my thoughts 10+ full listens later: 1. Verona (10/10) - I don't care that it's cheesy, because something about it just hits me like very few songs do. It's beautiful, and feels like I'm floating through space, just taking in the universe, and living. 2. You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween (10/10) - By far the catchiest, and most fun songs in recent memory. 3. Ghosts (10/10) - Still beautiful, poignant, and genuinely emotional to me. 4. Kill or Be Killed (9.5/10) - One of the best heavy songs Muse have done. Should be a great concert staple that is even better live. 5. Liberation (9/10) - Wish it was a bit longer, but I'm a sucker for piano and over-the-topness. 6. Euphoria (8.5/10) - Pretty fun and catchy pop, and paced really well. Kinda reminds me of Revolt and Get Up and Fight, but a lot better. 7. Won't Stand Down (8.5/10) - Another good heavy addition, though a bit too repetitive. 8. We Are Fucking Fucked (8/10) - I love most of it, but (and I get this is an unpopular opinion) if the repetition of "we are fucking/getting fucked" was just taken out or replaced, it would be more like a 9 or 9.5/10 for me. 9. Will of the People (7.5/10) - Solid album opener that contines to grow on me with each listen, but it doesn't stand out. 10. Compliance (7/10) - It also continues to grow on me, it's got its catchy moments, and it's not bad, but Muse have done way better pop songs. Overall: 9/10. I love the album as a whole, and it's a lot more consistent than most of their other albums for me. It's got fantastic highs, and even its lows aren't actually bad! The first four on this list easily rank among my all-time favourite Muse songs, and I was not expecting that.
  4. I think this is my favourite album since BH&R. Didn't have the urge to have the last albums on repeat as much as this one, and it's got some real highlights. The highs definitely outweigh the lows. Top tracks (no particular order): Verona: Maybe my favourite off the album. Yes, it's kinda cheesy, but something about it feels so... freeing? Celebratory? Ethereal? I get hit by a lot of feelings here. Ghosts: Seems people either love or hate this one, but I'm firmly on the "love" side. Relatively simple piano ballad, but genuinely emotional, and Matt's voice sounds incredible here. I think it's beautiful. You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween: Straight up so much fun. Really entertaining and creative, and the guitar solo is a cherry on top. Kill or Be Killed: Obviously! Makes me wish for more metal Muse, and had the guitar solo Won't Stand Down really needed. Should be a staple at concerts from now on. Even the ones I've been more tentative about for being too repetitive (Will of the People, Won't Stand Down, Compliance) are growing on me.
  5. Yeah... not a fan of NFTs. At all. Disappointed Muse went this direction.
  6. Hmm no idea I would think the "intimate" shows are a great reason to play some lesser-played fan favourites like CE or Dead Star since it should be just die-hard fans in attendance... in the big NA tour shows they mostly play their most broadly popular and highest charting songs, but I want my rarities 🙃 I could understand why they'd want to hype the new album, but I'm personally hoping it's not mostly that because I'm not sure if there's enough time to be acquainted with the songs. Or if I'll like them yet lol
  7. Love the idea, and congrats to you both! I'm awful at this but how about something like "New Born on the way"? 😅 You could give it an Origin of Symmetry album artwork backdrop and replace the prongs with something baby related to make it more clear, too, but that would be more work lol
  8. I believe it's intentional, so no worries about your DVD being damaged. I don't have my copy on hand, but I remember my version went into greyscale for some tracks. Animals is all in greyscale, though there are a few shots of money bills that are the only "in-colour" things in the frame.
  9. Thanks! That's a useful site. I'll definitely have a clear view of the stage.
  10. Nice! I'm happy to have gotten some too. Never seen them in a smaller setting before. No idea if this is correct but for smaller/more intimate shows, I wonder if they'll bring out some rarities instead of the standard big US hits.
  11. Do you have experience at The Beacon? I'm a little worried my Loge 1 tickets will have some overhang from the balcony above so the view will be obstructed. Not the end of the world because such a small show will be a great experience either way, and I'm sure the sound will be great.
  12. I'm also in the loge at Beacon Theatre! Congrats on snagging some tickets. I hope the seats aren't too bad. Those orchestra seats were gone in a flash. There were a few available when I got out of the queue, but unfortunately none together (I convinced my partner to come, so needed to find 2 seats) As for prices, for those wondering, if I remember right they were something like ~$90 and $125 before TM fees. Two tickets in the log ($125) were about $300 after fees.
  13. Oh noo! Did you click on the "Members" tab twice? Sometimes the first time I click it, it brings me to page with the age of my account, and I need to click it a second time to get to the presale page (the banner at the top should say "Welcome Back")
  14. Yep that's correct for NA. It should be visible on each person's Members page by now (assuming the account is old enough)
  15. I'm gonna try to snag two tickets to the New York show. Anticipating it'll be a challenge, but at least I have the presale. I've never been to New York but I'm a short and cheap flight away... maybe I'll make a weekend visit out of it. good luck everyone trying to get tickets!
