    OOS

    Screenager, Darkshines, Feeling Good

     

    Absolution

    Could you guys imagine being the kind of person that likes The Small Print more than Ruled By Secrecy.

     

    How can you even be this wrong?

    Least favourite song from each album?

    Showbiz: Showbiz has a few songs that are trash tier. I'll go with Filip because I didn't even want to waste four minutes of my life checking to see whether or not I think it's worse than Sober.

     

    Origin of Symmetry: Screenager. I really like Feeling Good on the album. Screenager is much better live though. Big fan of it on Hullabaloo.

     

    Absolution: I'll go with The Small Print. Too boring. Can't believe they picked this over Fury.

     

    Black Holes and Revelations: Exo-Politics for the same reason as TSP. Although the vocals in this song are good. The rest is boring.

     

    Resistance: Guiding Light. I think this one has been discussed to death.

     

    The 2nd Law: Save Me - Wow was this boring. At least I can enjoy Bellamy's voice in Big Freeze.

     

    Drones: Aftermath - this one was impressively boring. Like they went out of their way to make it boring.

    Going to drop some truth bombs on y'all.

     

    Showbiz: This one is easy peazy lemons squeazy

     

    Sober - Escape - Overdue. I like Escape but not even a reference to Canada can save Sober.

     

    Origin of Symmetry: Love pretty much the entire album but I have to put

     

    Screenager - Darkshines - Feeling Good. Darkshines and Feeling Good are great but Screenager brings it down. The rest of the album is too good.

     

    Absolution: Just as easy as Showbiz

     

    The Small Print - Endlessly - ToaDa. I like Endlessly but not a big fan of the other two.

     

    BH&R: Just as hard as OoS. It's hard to find a three track span where I don't at least like one song.

     

    Invincible - Assassin - Exo-Politics. I like Invincible and Assassin but not a fan of Exo-Politics. The live and GOB versions of Assassin are phenomenal but sadly they aren't on the album.

     

    The Resistance: USoE - Guiding Light - Unnatural Selection

    I considered Resistance - Undisclosed Desires - USoE but I settled on this one. I like USoE though.

     

    The 2nd Law: Big Freeze - Save Me - Liquid State

     

    All three of these songs are boring so it was an easy choice to me. Yes even the highly disappointing Explorers is less boring than Liquid State.

     

    Drones: Aftermath - The Globalist - Drones

     

    I thought of putting Revolt instead of Drones but I honestly don't know why Drones exists so I had to put it. It does nothing for me. Aftermath and the Globalist are disasters (one moreso than the other).

    Your reviews of Drones

    Muse - Drones

     

    I finally decided to give this entire album a listen. I still had not heard 4 songs.

     

    Dead Inside

    Not as bad as I thought it was when I first heard it on the radio. It's a decent song. It can probably be grouped together with the other Queen-wannabe songs they have done.

     

    Drill Sergeant + Psycho

    This is just boring. The Psycho riff used to sound so great at the end of SS that it is honestly kind of disappointing to see how boring the song turned out. It could have been a good song but it is just too repetitive and long. Good chorus though.

     

    Mercy

    Muse rips off Muse. It is not bad but it is also not good. Muse has done pop-rock much better than this in the past.

     

    Reapers

    Not a fan of this song. It has parts that I like (Chorus and the solo starting around 3:20) though. I would like the song more without the end riff. I'm sure it's a monster live but I'm feeling it on the album.

     

    The Handler

    This is a good song. It does not knock my socks off at any point but overall it is a solid song that I enjoy. My favourite on the album (at the time of writing I still had not heard the entire album though. Will mention if it changes). I think Muse accomplished what they were trying to do with this song. Wish most of the album sounded like it.

     

    JFK + Defector

    What did JFK do to deserve this ... Nah I'm just joking. This song is in the decent to good range. Would have liked if the JFK part didn't leak into Defector at the end though.

     

    Revolt

    Do not like it but I do like the choruses. The chorus pulls off that kind of 80s cheese vibe that I think they were trying to go for. Even the lyrics in the chorus do a good job of complementing that. The verses are boring though.

     

    Aftermath

    Oh boy ... This is a first impression. Man that chanting in the background gives me a bad feeling about this song. Fuck it. I'm just going to stream of consciousness the rest of this album. Beginning reminds me of that Dire Straits song. Still has that Dire Straits feeling going on (oh yes the song is Brothers in Arms). Two minutes into the song and I still feel like I'm listening to the intro. Ok this is just a worse version of Brothers in Arms. It's just Matt and I against the world :$. I knew I was special. Nope. Nope. No no no no no no no. So Chris and Dom have axed really good songs in the past but somehow this makes it onto an album that is already over 50 minutes long :Muse: :ashkoney:. I've already heard the Globalist and I did not like it (spoiler alert) but this is worse. Christ we are going to get a T2L style album collapse huh.

     

    The Globalist

    I wonder who did the whistling in this song. Anyways, whistling in songs (non-soundtrack ones that is) should have been outlawed after Hocus Pocus by Focus. They did it best. Shall never be beat. It isn't a Muse album without military style drums at one point. There is no reason for this song to exist. This song would be better without the first four minutes which are boring. I like this riff though. The melody at the end of this song reminds me of another Muse song. Can't remember which one. As a whole I'm not a fan of this song. I think it actually becomes enjoyable once the riff kicks in but the problem is I have to listen to almost five minutes of boring music to get there.

     

    Drones

    Nah. Do not dislike the idea of it but overall it isn't really worth listening to it.

     

     

    Overall, Muse lost their dinosaur.

    They kept talking about returning to their roots but I guess they never considered whether or not they could pull it off. I was worried that it would happen. ( http://board.muse.mu/showpost.php?p=10614091&postcount=5022 )

    I'm in agreement with you, OP. Just listened to the new track, and it doesn't do anything for me. So I played Micro Cuts live from Hullabaloo, all is well. Also, this is my first log in in nearly 3 years! How are all of you doing?

     

    I'm doing pretty good. How about you?

     

    Also, literally everyone is in agreement with OP. And not figuratively literally. Literally literally.

     

    Although I don't agree that this is the case for every band (most of them though).

    Not sold after the preview. I mean it's not bad or anything. Just nothing stands out. To be fair, that isn't unexpected considering I've already heard the song's main riff tons of times and it's only a thirty second snippet.

     

    Although it does seem to be a departure from T2L/TR (for the most part).

     

    That was also my first opportunity seeing the tracklist. Yikes.

     

    Edit: Weird. The first time the preview ended at 30 seconds but the second time I got the full minute and thirty. I stand by my "departure from T2L/TR" quote.
