FD? Wrong album there, bud
arghlefozehfoaf, FAWY.
-
Not that many great songs on it either tho.
The only songs I wouldn't call great are TSP (still a beast live), Toada and mayyybe FD (but I really really like it).
^^^ That's a little more understandable like, considering Matt used to sound like he was having 4 asthma attacks by the end of it on a good day.
True, it was always a bit of a mess both vocally and instrumentally, but damn, that 16\4444 riff is huge.

Problem is Muse to haven't written a great closer since Knights. No reason they couldn't alternate it with Stockholm, Take A Bow or Bliss though.
Survival does the job well enough imo.
-
I love Assassin to bits, but I think Debase's intro with the ghost notes (800000800000XXXXXX kind of thing), drums and verses are better. I'm starting to think that the bridge makes more sense at the end of the song, like they usually play it live.

I have nothing against Toada and it has a cool solo but I find it pretty generic and unremarkable in Muse's catalogue.
-
Now I think Feeling Good is Muse's most underrated song these days.
-
Does favourite or least favourite mean anything when applied to OoS, really? When there's so little between the songs and your least favourite is a 9/10 because all the others are 10/10s, it doesn't say much.
Edit: or as Tuck said, it says a lot.
-
Yup forgot about Hyper Music.
Muse has always been about incorporating influences in their music and make it sound theirs. As long as it makes sense in a Muse context, I don't mind it, which was the case until recently.
It's not about calling the bad songs ripoffs, but about the fact that if they're gonna take external influences and make it into a Muse song with some elements of their own and the merger sounds good to me, that's great; I do have a problem with them making obvious references and adding little to nothing to it, or in the case of Aftermath, adding something terrible (that sounds nothing like Muse on top of that).
-
I think things are simply not so clear in his head, just like most people really - and that's fair enough. I you ask me, all the remotely political messages that I can find in his lyrics tend to go in a consistant direction. But I mean, he's just a guy writing about the stuff that comes to his mind now and then; if some people take Muse as their political reference... maybe they need to read other stuff.
-
As long as the songs are great, I don't really care. In the case of Space Dementia (I suppose that's what you're talking about), that song is so rich even outside the Rachmaninov influence that it comes across as a pleasant reference.
When what you're borrowing is the only remotely good thing about the song, it becomes a problem.
-
Altogether it has a nice part which is a rip-off and what's left is Muse's all time musical low.
-
Neither of our countries has anything resembling a direct democracy, so aren't you really just giving the political power back to Parliament, not the people?
We scream on about "freedom" in the US, but we elect a handful of jackasses that just do what they please afterwards.
And I guess my point is, no matter what the political beliefs, once the party starts pulling out the "get the brown people out because they might be terrorists!" schtick (and more in the case of the US, taking away women's rights to their own selves, legalizing the ability to discriminate against LGBT persons, or building a wall) I think it's time to step back and think... hey, this is going seriously wrong...
None of those issues should be remotely attached to politics.
And yes, again, this is more a US problem, but it's undeniable that Brexit pushers played on fears of terrorism and foreigners.
To me, it puts a person who voted for those parties in a position where they have to advocate for voting for some "what ifs" and "maybes" that were more important than tangible negative impacts on whole groups of people.
And it leads to a culture like we have in the US, where it's okay to openly deride anyone who's not like you, deny basic human rights to people, and the law supports refusing to sell a cake at a cake shop to a gay couple.
It's a steep, slippery slope.
Ugh, Brexit was/is not about parties. I don't think your analogy with the Republican party and US politics stands.
What tangible effects on human rights did Brexit have? The economic catastrophe is yet to happen; those who voted in favour of Brexit weren't the most priviledged ones and if they are willing to take risks to their own detriment as a trade-off, then fair enough.

I was talking more about Bellamy with that statement. His political statements have been vague at best, and certainly along the lines of baseless nationalism and conspiracy theories about the government.
He often just sounds like a kid that believed the first political comment he read on Facebook. (And we ended up with "drones are bad, I don't really know anything about it, but if I say "drones" 47 times, you'll get the point!)
But, I view Brexit like I do the Republican party. There might be some people who have legitimate reasons for believing in some of that rhetoric, but if you put that sort of speculation before the actual civil rights of human beings, whether immigrants, minorities, women, LGBT, the disabled, or whateverthefuck, then that's pretty deplorable. I see people say things like "well, it's better that a few groups are marginalized or mistreated than we put EVERYONE at risk just in case!" and it's gross. (And of course in that situation "everyone" could only mean white males.)
And it's pretty obvious the racist angle of Brexit influenced a lot of people, sadly.
Brexit had the added bonus of fucking up the economy for the non-rich, as well, immediately.
Err, I've never seen or heard Matt refer to nationalism of any sort. If you have sources please enlighten me.
Talking about civil rights, you don't seem to be aware that the EU is a completely antidemocratic set of institutions. If taking one's political rights back isn't a legitimate reason, then I don't even know what to say. There isn't a majority of racist voters in the UK (and Brexit has very little if anything at all to do with immigration), it baffles me how people are prone to believe that instead of accepting the idea that the other side may have valid reasons. Seriously associating all Brexiters with racist/xenophobic rhetorics is unfair, lowly and insulting.
. And I've never cared about the final note so much, so I wouldn't really mind if he lowered it as he did on the Drones Tour.
