  1. I really like it, loved the Dead Inside artwork too. This album cycle has the best single artwork they've done (other than a couple of the OOS and BHAR ones) imo. Shame neither really fit the song though, aesthetic-wise.
  2. There's something oddly satisfying about the whole 'greatest guy' thing. On paper, it looks like pretty shit lyricism but I like it when I hear it in the song. My favourite so far is probably 'You are on your own/Lost in the wild', mostly just for the way Matt delivers it tbh. I like the animalistic connotations with 'the wild' as well. Purely lyrically speaking though, 'Absent gods in silent tyranny, we're going under/Hypnotised by another puppeteer' is probably the best so far.
  3. I'm usually like that, lyrics are a big part of getting enjoyment from music for me. With Muse I don't really care though, unless they're exceptionally shit ('brainwashing children to be mean' etc.) I think maybe I've just been used to Matt's meh lyrics for so long that I'm indifferent to it. When some lyrics do pop up that I like, I just see it as a bonus.
  4. I know what you mean when you say Starlight's dsappointing live. It feels like the heavier parts really lack the energy they used to have. I really can't see Mercy being better though.
  5. All three of those will probably be played as well. It'd make sense to play Mercy and give it at least some form of promotion before it gets released, so I'm guessing they aren't gonna play it because. I'm still holding out hope for Reapers more than anything.
  6. Pretty sure it's been deduced as 'electronically erased' for quite a while now. Looking forward to maybe finally being able to work out some of those unknown lyrics in the chorus though. Might be a bit difficult to work them out during the live stream, mind. Hopefully someone'll record and upload videos soon after
  7. Meh, it reminds me of the ending of When You Were Young by The Killers. Not really much else to say about it. Honestly, I really like most of their lighter, 'pop-ier' stuff (Starlight, Invincible, Supermassive, Bliss, UD, MOTP, even Dead Inside is pretty decent). Mercy's verses are quite catchy and I'm interested to find out what the lyrics are but the chorus feels so gratingly uninspired that it makes the whole song hard for me to listen to. I dunno, maybe Matt's delivery in the chorus will sound so much better in the studio version that I'll warm to it. Doesn't stop the melody being dull though.
  8. Excited for tonight (well, early tomorrow for me). Hopefully our first pro-shot of Reapers
  9. Saying that he doesn't like the song and explaining why makes him a negative person? This post confuses me. Basically, all I'm reading is "you r bad for not liking this song i like". Also, as things stand, Dead Inside and Psycho are considerably better than Mercy. That could change with the release of the studio version, I'm not expecting it to though (for me, at least).
