Question, are the drums programmed or are they live? Sounds a bit hollow to me?
-
I agree the studio version is oversaturated with layers. The synth tracks are overbearing and the weird volume shifts of the guitar track make an appearance again.
Folk should also check out the nova rocks version, it's very clean as the audience isn't miked.
-
It's taken from a TikTok stream so I imagine there's an extra layer of compression there. I'll reserve judgment until next week but hope to God the mixing isn't the shitshow that Won't Stand Down is.

Confirmed on Twitter, Kill or be Killed will be released July 21st.

About a week ago, Matt said it would be released in a couple weeks so I would presume at most 14 days from now.

Will of the People is not a dumb song about righteous people reclaiming power, it’s a song mocking dumb people fighting the system against their own interest.
Looking forward to seeing Uprising dropped from the set then....

I'm still amazed they haven't re-issued it considering its selling for £300+. They're justing leaving money on the table. Release a cd only version for £80 and everyone's happy, not just the scalpers.
Don't worry 2020 Silent God, a single copy will magically appear on and Irish retailer's site in June 2022 for roughly the original price and is not damaged in significant way. Never stop believing!

Simulation Theory's audio and visual design is pretty much Stranger Things. (To the point where they got Stranger Things poster artist to make the album cover)
Anyone want to pitch in and get Matt an Apple Plus account? Wouldn't mind a track or two about For All Mankind or Mythic Quest.
-
Question is WOTP the most lack lustre opening track?

Probably got locked out of his account when the forum upgraded.

From experience, Compliance was completely flat and had no audience reaction beyond the first few rows.

This is the kind of Muse song you can introduce to your friends and family without fear. It also has me fearing that the studio version won't be as good as a live version which is a clear sign of a winner.

It's not technically a government building. The ministry of truth became a meme/1984 reference recently because the Biden admin talked about creating a government body to combat online misinformation. So people started jokingly calling it the "ministry of truth" ala 1984.
So a government institution yeah?

Perhaps, maybe it would have been better if they used giant teddy bears again.
I'm not trying paint Matt as one thing or another but if you're going use imagery of protesters violently breaking into government institutions and destroying them, maybe folk are going to be reminded of very recent examples of such things.

Hm … that nobody can say it it about … tearing down Russia maybe or about the war in Ukraine?
or just because he wants to…
Worth pointing out WOTP was written and recorded in 2021 before Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Maybe because the video is very reminiscent of the January 6th insurrection and seems to visualize those folk as the heroes and good guys hence Matt trying to deflect criticism with fictionalized doing some very heavy lifting. The lyric seems to be more nuanced (2nd verse seems to imply and trumpians view of themselves is wrong and somewhat ironic) but that video, oof, is at best, very very naive or ignorant of how folk would view it.

From Matt: “‘Will of the People’ is fictional story set in a fictional metaverse on a fictional planet ruled by a fictional authoritarian state run by a fictional algorithm manifested by a fictional data centre running a fictional bank printing a fictional currency controlling a fictional population occupying a fictional city containing a fictional apartment where a fictional man woke up one day and thought ‘fuck this.’”
Wonder why Matt is emphasising the fictional part ..,

Very much agree with this sentiment. If you listen to the bootlegs between 1999 and 2002, there's an incredible variety in how songs were played and ad libing sections of songs was common. The slide towards replicating the sound of the album live started in 2003 with absolution (more synth tracks than OoS or Showbiz) and pretty much crystallised by the Resistance era. Since, there's been little joy in listening to the live versions unless the gig was particularly good.
