    Been out of the loop with these guys since Drones. Based on comments the band have made (if any) are you guys expected a single, or EP, or LP? Or like zero expectations?

    Yep. Defector video was taken down in China, most likely because it had the infamous Tiananmen Square photo in it. I'm honestly surprised they were able to book gigs outside of Hong Kong, but maybe China doesn't really take the band's politics seriously (does anyone? )

    this is probably the dumbest argument this board has ever gotten into just shut up and enjoy life for Christs sake

    Of course the stream came back up the moment the set went in this direction

    Mutt definitely helped more than he hurt in my opinion
  9. HomesickSubterranean
    Yeah I'm blaming Mutt for Aftermath. Would love to hear those demos though

    It's more the delivery than the lyrics that make the verses so weird for me

    Wow, this album has grown on me a lot. And not just in a "convincing myself it's good" kind of way, I took some time off from listening to it and really enjoyed Defector, The Globalist/Drones, and even Revolt. Definitely on par with TR at the very least, and I love that album. Aftermath is still pretty hilarious though, it's a shame because everything before the singalong is absolutely beautiful

    Redemption is the song that got me hooked on Muse. Absolutely beautiful. It's not Matt's most impressive performance but it's by far my favorite piano song, possibly favorite song overall.

    What if the making of that leaked was of Aftermath and Revolt rather than The Globalist and Defector? I wonder if people would've liked the album more then

    Aftermath is pretty but tbh I feel like any band could have written it. The first time I heard I felt like I had heard the song a million times before. Okay, well not just any band, but it still isn't very special.

    To be fair, I think they wanted to do one for TR tour, so it wouldn't be past them to do one for two albums in a row. and yes @ tdrunner, we've heard enough hits on the live albums at this point
  17. HomesickSubterranean
    I wonder if we'll get another live album for the tour.

    Opinions are hereby a bannable offense.

    Welcome back.

    sound checked

    I think had they fleshed out the riff section a bit more, allowing us to get the chance to discern the layers of instrumentation better, the transition would have been better. It's like, when the tremolo riff kicks in, we also get layers of power chords, strings, etc. and we only have so much time to process this wall of sound before it becomes a new section entirely.
  22. HomesickSubterranean
    Compositionally, the transition from the heavy part to the ballad is cohesive. The section ends on a change from A minor (which is the key of the section) to an A major, transitioning to the ballad in D major. Technically, this is a well-written key change since the A major to D major (or V to I) change is commonly used in classical music. That being said, from a stylistic and production standpoint, how cohesive The Globalist is is completely subjective. Personally, I think how the riff section's transition into the finale is a bit jarring since it's so brief.

    That's gotta be the post of the year, easily.
  24. HomesickSubterranean
    I could go for an extended piano ballad section

    Opinions ahoy: Overall - My expectations for this album were fairly low following The 2nd Law. I'm happy with some of what we got – tracks like Reapers, The Handler, and Mercy are sure to stick with me. Overall though, it feels like the band is continuing to try too hard to attempt too many styles at once. The tracks we heard pre-release – Psycho, Dead Inside, Reapers, and Mercy – all seemed to hint at a general cohesive sound. But once we were given tracks like Revolt, Aftermath, and Drones, that cohesion was hard to find. Experimentation can be good, but it can also distract a musician from mastering their known style. 6.5/10 Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? What did you think of this album? Love it? Hate it? Why? Absolution Origin of Symmetry Black Holes and Revelations The Resistance Showbiz Drones The 2nd Law
