    Interesting someone mentioned reverb on the drums. They sound cleaner to me? Took the reverb out of the cymbals in PiB, which I find quite nice! I actually adore the drum tone on all these remixes.

    Omg, thank you! I’m so nervous about it. 😂😨 

    Well...

    It was a bit overwhelming at first. Reminded me of the first time I drove up next to one of those giant windmills.

    But it is up there for the whole medley and at times I forgot it was there. It is quite imposing. The outstretched hand takes up the whole stage and towered above our heads up to the upper bowl. I almost think being at the barrier would be better though because you can't really see exactly how big it is and what it is doing. It moves which is the worst part. Sorry Jess I wish I had better news. :(

    I caved. 

    Yes salt lakes floor is notoriously small. They didn't even come close to selling this out.  There's tons of empty seats, and we walked up to the box office and got lower bowl seats 8 rows up. 

    Anyway. Not expecting much set wise. Just here for the spectacle. Jessica I will tell you how big Murph is, it scares me being that close to big things too.

    Album Eight: Simulation Theory

    I'm so glad CE stopped by to temper my excitement and love for this album I almost bought concert tickets! Phew. Nice save CE!

     

    My first take after listening to it by skipping around was pretty meh. Definite standouts were Algorithm (both versions), and Break It To Me. I HATED Get Up And Fight and The Void, and Propaganda.

     

    But ive listened to it twice now beginning to end and so far the only stinker is Something Human.

     

    Algorithm and the alternate version

    The Dark Side

    Break It To Me

    The Void

    Gospel Dig Down

    Propaganda acoustic

    Propagannda (though I hate the robot voice bit)

    Pressure (the marching band version is great)

    The Dark Side alternate version

    Blockades

    Thought Contagion

    Get Up And Fight

    Something Human acoustic

    Dig Down

    Something Human

     

    I dig it. But I dug Drones a lot too and I havent listened to it in like a year. So we'll see.

     

    Can't wait to see what alternate versions make the live show.

    That's kind of how I felt about the amphitheater show I saw. I mean the crowd was ok but most of them were there for 30stm. But the band, all of them not just Matt, were pretty bored. It was nice to see Take a Bow for the first time but it didn't make up for the lackluster performance. I promised myself I wouldn't get sucked into spending $ and traveling and taking time off work for another American Muse gig again.

    I'll see! Maybe if other people are around I can get some further enjoyment. Otherwise though after the last tour I do think I'm done in general with US arena shows.

     

    Me too. I was not all that impressed after the amphitheater tour. Just can't justify the expense and travel

    Pressure (single)

    Okay half a dozen listens. I like it. Great attempt at Matt trying to write something we would hate but the sentiment is so uncontrived that it is the exact opposite. Add a cool hook, have Dom step up the drumming game again (He's been lazy so far with these singles imo) and now we have something decent.

     

    Looks like pressuring Matt works ;)
