Love the tempo changes in this song. The chorus is pretty good too, sans lyrics. The things that I hate most are probably the disgraceful pre-chorus and those strange falsetto jumps in the verses. It's a catchy pop song but it loudly marks the beginning of a dissapointing second half.
-
What's the point of these lyric videos if they only show every 1 out of 5 words... I mean, if I can't make out the lyrics with listening, 1 out of 5 words won't help me very much...
The real point is that views for lyric videos nowadays are counted in the charts as the same as listens on Spotify or iTunes purchases.

Aftermath and Revolt are two songs that I would never listen to had they not been written by Muse. Not saying the songwriting in them is bad (that's a subjective thing), but the style of music is just not something I would listen to otherwise.
Also, why do the cheesy songs on each album always have the best guitar solos? Revolt, BF, GL, and Invincible all have great solos imo.
-
Ugh still very mixed on this song. Guitar work and tone is beautiful, but the whole thing (especially the final chorus) sounds like Christian Rock. It's like I've heard that chorus melody a million times before. If it was a piano instrumental, I definitely listen to it though, that suits it best..
-
Whoa whoa whoa now.Endlessly was the song that made me fall in love with Muse.
Alright let me clarify before I'm burned at the stake here
When I said worst track, I meant like what I thought was general fan consensus of each album's worst track. I don't think Endlessly is the worst track on Absolution at all, I just thought that it seems like every album there's always that one track.
Although it seems like more people like Endlessly than I thought! I love it personally. So maybe Absolution is an exception to my Muse hypothesis
-
No I love Endlessly, but it seems like that's always the track that fans don't love in comparison with the rest of Absolution. I'm not saying it's up there (down there?) with GL and Big Freeze
-
I think GL comparisons have just become the new way to say "worst track." Big Freeze, Guiding Light, Invincible, Endlessly, Feeling Good, Overdue, and now Revolt – seems like there's always that one track that many Muse fans have pegged as the outlier on albums
-
If you remember that a band doesn't write music for its fans it's completely logical: they haven't written songs like aftermath and revolt before. They also want to explore different sides. I don't think these songs are 'beneath' their capabilities (aftermath is really good), and even Drones is musically very well written. It might just not be what you wanted it to be, or what you prefer to hear.
Very true. I argued the same thing a week or so ago. I guess it's just the initial disappointment really.
-
Opinion time: It's frustrating to hear derivative songs like Revolt and Aftermath, because the band's songwriting capabilities have proven to be so beyond those two tracks. I'm not one of those fans who says they should make the same music they did 10 years ago, but the fact that they wrote songs of such a high caliber back then makes me think they could do it again. Or maybe not. Maybe it's just how all artists age.
What if Muse had broken up after BH&R? Their reputation amongst music fans would be drastically different..
-
I was expecting it to flow nicely though
Yeah, the big tremolo pick riff is awesome but ends so fast. It's like the band is jamming out and then realize they need to transition to a piano ballad with only seconds to spare.
-
Speaking of live versions, I wonder if any tracks, barring Drones for obvious reasons, won't end up making it to the stage. Matt seemed pretty keen on playing all the songs live, but then again he also mentioned doing acoustic stuff a while back lol. Aftermath could be hard to pull off live.
-
I remember feeling the same for The 2nd Law. I think it just kinda levels out. After a few months of getting one or two songs and slowly adapting to them suddenly it's 5 and the connected album.
Yeah, I think it's really just a matter of overcoming whatever expectations you had, as well as getting used to songs that are a bit more shocking. I guess I'll see in a few months if it is worth coming back to. Then again, at that point, I'll probably be addicted to Currents...

Hesitant to say it's growing on me bc it might just be me convincing myself

Maybe they won't pay stage actors this time.
Those drones are gonna be expensive though
-
Is a bit sad if you think about it, a lot of people will be jerks and they won't buy the album after downloading it. I a price to pay for the internet, i guess.
I'm sure they'll make up for any losses with a world tour.
Although didn't they end up losing money in the last tour?

Best description ever
"This pretentious, ponderous collection of religious rock psalms inspires the question: on which day did God create Muse and couldn't He have rested then too?"
"That's nitpicking, isn't it?"
-
The 2nd half verges onto "The Gospel According To Spinal Tap" territory. Yeesh. Too many sing-a-longs.
-
How far up your ass do you have to be to finish a song with "amen"...
That being said the music in Drones (track) is beautiful
-
I will say though the guitar solo on Revolt is pretty good. Also shoutout to the guy who pointed out the similarity to All These Things That I've Done, I knew it sounded like something.
-
I'm gonna listen to The Joshua Tree now, Revolt really put me in the mood for it.

where..
Idk, I'm not keeping track or anything. Like there was this one note in Aftermath that had literally zero vibrato and sounded really computerized. I really don't wanna start an argument about pitch correction though because I've seen them here before and nothing good comes out of them..

Even if the third part is essentially just a rework of Nimrod, I still love the "I just wanted, I just needed to be loved." Very theatrical but they did it well
