ok… 🤔why not on BBC1 ? Loads more people could listen, right?
Apple is Global where as BBC1 is presumably region blocked! Maybe a sponsorship issue, because you can't rail against capitalism without appearing on the radio station of one of the world's largest global corporations.

Considering the last four Muse albums have had 2-3 tracks that were utter dross, I'm not against a 10 song album if it means the crap is cut. At the same time, Muse's output in terms of quantity has been decreasing every album cycle so I will hold my breath.

I think when I wake up tomorrow, I'm going to forget Compliance ever existed and pretend that this is the new Muse single:

The ones on twitter anyway.

Wonder if the band will put their money where their mouth is and sell those masks ahead of their gigs. It would be interesting to see how far they want to take this "masked vigilante's taking down the world order" bit. A bit ironic that they're still going to leverage every aspect of the neo-capitalist structure to promote and sell this record. Nothing new but it's a weird image to keep still on projecting after all these years....

Dead Inside along with The Handler is the tightest the band have sounded on record. The rhythm section is just pure perfection. It's really unfortunate that Matt strongly disliked the recording process for Drones.
I feel like Compliance is serving the same purpose as Dead Inside, a more pop orientated single to drum up airplay ahead of Album and Tour announcement. Hopefully from my perspective, the album won't be as poppy.

Kind of want Muse to start being in their own music videos again. Kind of want to get an impression of how the songs will be performed.

Is bop the word putting banger to rest as to go to choice of being down with the youths?

Oh, since it's the Music Video director put it up, I think it's safe to share the link:

I think Matt must be deliberately tolling with the lyrics. Kind reading is that it's anti neo capitalist, that we're buying into a false utopia of an easy life with wants answered by the touch of a screen. On the other hand it sounds like an appeal to those who resist complying with mask and lockdown rules because it's a form of control. It feels forcefully and needlessly ambiguous which leads me to have to put Matt in the bad lyricist bucket to explain it away in my head. If the rest of the album is like this, I'm probably going to give up on Matt unless he makes some unambiguous statements about his lyrics.
Not a fan of the song yet, feels like an extension of the 2nd Law which is, by far, least liked Muse album. It sounds like the product of a one night stand between Uprising and Madness, fostered by Undisclosed Desires. -
Was Verona where Matt lived in Italy before moving to the US?
(God this thread is taking some turns...)

This post is so filled with informal fallacies, I'm not going to even touch it. It should be the subject of a community college critical thinking course for the class to dissect.
You shouldn't be too hard on your own writing....

I don't think Matt is anti vaxxer or whatever but he has a habit sticking his foot in it. This is the same Man who tweeted support for BLM and quickly followed it with a TiKToK about rescuing his guitars his studio in case they got looted during BLM protests.
Matt tends to uses phrases because they sound cool but I often feel he doesn't fully grasp the weight and meaning behind them. Think of the use of the phrase The Final Solution casually dropped into Thought Contagion. The phrase was historically deployed to literally enable the wiping a whole race off the face of the earth, and Matt just drops it into the cringest of cringe lyrics.
It's too late for a revolution
Brace for the final solution
For a lyricist, he has an underdeveloped understanding of the power of language.

You don't really have to be a "nutter" to see that things aren't quite right with the status quo at the moment, and also to see how massively demonised people are (like Laurence Fox for example) just for airing reasonable concerns and mirroring what the public are saying. We're heading into pretty unsettling and backward times, I reckon. Bring on the album for a bit of respite.Are we talking about the same Laurence Fox who treated Covid with ... Check notes... Animal dewormer. Ok, reasonable concerns......
Laurence Fox does not represent what the public think. I'm cynical to the point of sighing my way through a Pixar movie but I refuse to believe that people are as ehthically vacuous as that 3rd rate hatemonger. It's folk like Fox that want us to be in backward and unsettling times because all they do is feed off hate and fear.
-
Have to say I'm very uncomfortable that if you were to show me an extract from Muse's recent promotional material and Laurence Fox's Twitter feed, I would not be able to tell the difference. It's unsettling because I'm trying to give Matt the benefit of the doubt but that track listing and album just comes off at best, really immature, or at worst unpurposefully aligning with right wing lexiconography. It's as if Matt sees a lyrical minefield, and then plays hopscotch.
-
I feel lukewarm about this. The production is a bit much, too many layers and the volume of the vocal track drops noticeably when we get to the chorus (like the plug in baby remaster job). Might be a victim of too much time in the studio and Matt liking to record track sections individually rather than in one take. Feels like a 2nd Law version of Dead Star. Also I can't get the intro to Take on Me out of my head,

Generally hope Matt doesn't have a BLM lyric. When Muse shared a post supporting BLM, Matt followed it up with a post about being in LA rescuing his guitars in the case they got looted. Don't think there was any malice there but perhaps no thoughts given about the optics of somewhat associating the two very different things. Matt can be a bit of sledgehammer when it comes to lyrics so perhaps best he doesn't tackle something that requires a delicate touch.
