    This. It was hardly an original cover. And it's not like Puddle of Mudd didn't already corner the market in rote Lithium covers...

    Best thing on US was the bridge. Overall it didn't stray from the resemblance to Newborn enough.
  3. Alec Ferris
    Pics or it didn't happen. Good. We want Muse playing around with their influences, not straight-up aping them.
  4. Alec Ferris
    Maybe they're pushing the RatM influence more than before.

    The worry is that they won't pursue it with the fire that they demonstrated on those albums. There are many precedents for this- Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth's alleged comeback albums, U2's post-Pop output, Sepultura returning to thrash metal... I'm hoping Muse do what Machine Head have been doing since 2005- not merely returning to their old sound, but expanding on it and pushing their boundaries.

    Dude, secret's out.

    It had to reflect the music, didn't hit?
  8. Alec Ferris
    I'd argue that Limp Bizkit's Gold Cobra is probably the worst. At least nasty, scabrous black metal covers actually reflect the content. Same.

    That's a good point. I ought to check out more of their stuff, but I don't much time sat around with my stereo these days. Came across a good post-hardcore act called Hawk Eyes lately, though.

    They leaked it yesterday on the Dark Net under a code name.

    I have faith, but it is tempered by a healthy, informed scepticism. There are very few bands from whom I pretty much expect brilliance without question.
  12. Alec Ferris
    That is true. Something as off-kilter as Hyper Music would be ace.
  13. Alec Ferris
    I wouldn't say ubiquitous. And I just meant that if they have written something on a par with Micro Cuts in terms of weirdness and heaviness, that won't find a single release. If anyone doubts,
  14. Alec Ferris
    Realistically, if the album does rock hard, the first single probably won't be that heavy. While they might want to make a statement of intent, they don't want to scare off more casual fans.
  15. Alec Ferris
    Survival rocked pretty hard. And three BH&R singles packed a fair bit of wallop.
  16. Alec Ferris
    Nah, we're talking different things because we have no concrete stuff to go on.
  17. Alec Ferris
    That first one actually reminds me of Soundgarden. Now there's another influence I'd like to see Muse tackle.
  18. Alec Ferris
    Are they any good? If anyone's wondering what those acts sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV9xgHaOeJU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cni7N5Fj8K4 Ignore the hideous artwork.

    I'd quite like Muse to go into similar territory to Textures or Shattered Skies. Groovy, melodic and big-sounding heavy stuff. It'd be nice to hear a band operating in the djenty area where the bassist isn't frequently swallowed up by the eight-stringers.
  20. Alec Ferris
    'tis true. Ash have a pretty great line in pop-metal. I will pull your beard for that slander
  21. Alec Ferris
    Let's just try and imagine Matt attempting lines like "I blow my load over the status quo". I'd rather hear them tackle some of Kyuss' spacier stuff.
  22. Alec Ferris
    Grant is brilliant, but I wouldn't call him experimental.
  23. Alec Ferris
    I doubt there's much chance for a truly innovative band to gain much attention these days, but I broadly agree. Royal Blood's niche seems to be "accessible alternative" rather than properly mainstream. Haven't heard them on mainstream radio apart from four or five plays on Radio 1. Nonsense. There are a host of blogs and websites for any scene you want these days. No Clean Singing and Heavy Blog Is Heavy have introduced me to some awesome new albums lately.
  24. Alec Ferris
    I don't think anyone could make that song legitimately creepy in a way that you'd want to listen to.

    I think grittier would've taken away from the glacial aspect, if you know what I mean.
