[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

Yeah. It's either really tasteless or they've never heard the phrase in the context of the Holocaust; I'm guessing the latter.

 

How can you not be aware of that, is all I can think

[Which Muse song have you recently discovered or rediscovered the awesomeness of?]

The Small Print, hadn't revisited it for ages

Go to your rooms and think about what you've done.

 

Second this, hard.

I dunno about hardcore expedition. I was living quite comfortably

Heard it. Not sure what they were thinking. Ho hum.

Has anybody ever visited the Worcestershire\ Herefordshire area of the UK? Absolutely beautiful. I got some great shots of Hereford Cathedral, Eastnor Castle and the top of Ludlow Castle had some great views. Wish I knew how to use panoramic on my mobile camera. I will upload them over the next few days onto my instagram page.

 

Yeah, my train to and from uni always went that way

Fired up Newborn after a good whitewater session. Man, that was a Proustian rush. So much filth and energy.

[Which Muse song have you recently discovered or rediscovered the awesomeness of?]

Take A Bow. Damn

[Best Produced Muse Album]

I'd still opt for something dirtier and more grandiose than Drones. Think albums in general, not just Muse's discography.

 

Actually, listening to Alien some more, there's some nice emphasis on the bass here.

SS and TSP should sound more like Dead Star I think.

 

Not a bad shout. I think I plump more for what Devin Townsend achieved on Alien, but that might be a little too extreme (though the idea of SS given that massive, sledgehammer force is seriously appealing). Pelagial by The Ocean might be a better fit.

And I don't exactly refer to you personally but the general music fan.

I don't believe more than 20% of the members here are producers or studied music. They just wanna sound clever.

 

Which is why we're talking about things sounding muddy, spacious, clean, etc. As we're on a !usic forum, it's a safe bet that we've heard enough music to know subpar production when we hear it, even when we don't get the technical aspects.

 

What sort of production do people feel would suit Abso best?

[Drones Album Discussion Thread]

Feeling increasingly that The Globalist is by far the weakest link on Drones. It's just not very good at all . It's like Muse covering Muse - badly.

 

My problem with the more Museish tracks in general. Or rather, it's Muse not getting what made old Muse tick. It's not St Anger, but it fails in a similar way.
