  1. Wasn't there some chat from some fans that met them about Muse bringing back Showbiz in London?
  2. Making this my sig if that's ok EDIT: and likewise am going to three of the nights really just to maximise chances of seeing rarities
  3. Just got tickets to this and the 15th on AXS, which worked pretty well. Very excited for all of these.
  4. The thing is, Matt used to swamp his vocals (especially the falsettos) in tonnes and tonnes of distortion, which I think often disguises any thin voice or strain and generally makes him sound more epic and intense. Nowadays he uses far less of it.
  5. Where to begin? Aftermath - redo the first and last lines, cut the shit guitar solo and the "we've gone against the tide section", make some of the last chorus instrumental (so there's a Blackout-style guitar thing going on) SS - the last chorus features a guitar in the right channel of my headphones that drops out randomly seconds in. Annoys me every time, it should stay B&H - the record version should have the guitars CoD - have something else going on instead of the same intro and verse melody over and over again. Maybe an extended or modified solo. Psycho - shorten the intro, cut out the guitar breakdown before the third chorus etc. Dead Star - put the scratchy guitar stuff from Download 2015 in the verses Bliss - falsetto background vocals (like at the end of Megalomania) in the background for the final chorus The Globalist - trumpets instead of whistling, and make the slide guitar sound not like it was recorded on someone's phone in an echoey room Survival - less choir plz Unsustainable - make the middle section different from the opening orchestral stuff and have a more interesting 2nd "dubstep" section etc. etc.
  6. Some pretty melodramatic responses to this song on here, but then again I know how badly I react to MK Ultra so fair enough. To me this isn't that bad a song and it certainly didn't/shouldn't ruin the album as a whole. If the chorus had heavier guitars and lost those queen vocals then it would be miles better, but the verses are a lot of fun and Matt's vocal delivery is great. Aftermath is just as cheesy but Matt's vocals are absolutely rubbish (especially the first and last lines of the whole thing) and the guitar solo's terrible. Definitely the weakest for me.
  7. I watched this performance a few days ago and it made me kinda sad. Apart from the drums, I think it's a sub par effort that benefits from an amazing mix (Roskilde was a better 2015 performance imho). Matt's all over the place in the choruses nowadays, which are ruined anyway by Chris' backing vocals.
  8. They hit a very good formula with Rock Werchter, so it's a shame they didn't really replicate that again. They could have even gone for something like: Psycho Supermassive Black Hole The Handler Rarity (Micro Cuts / Assassin / The Groove / Uno) Plug In Baby / Bliss Dead Inside Interlude Hysteria Munich Jam Supremacy Citizen Erased Apocalypse Please Time Is Running Out Mercy Reapers Stockholm Syndrome Enc: Uprising Starlight Knights of Cydonia
  9. Showbiz: Overdue OOS: Darkshines Absolution: Intro BH&R: Exo-Politics TR: IBTY T2L: Save Me Drones: Aftermath
  10. I don't notice it too much, except in the Reapers live chorus (where he tries to do it, but doesn't even make it to the note and ends up sounding flat) This performance contains one of his most obvious examples of sliding up to a note in the final chorus, and it sounds absolutely epic: .. but I appreciate that's not quite the same as what you're talking about.
  11. It's really weird, isn't it? The enunciation is really bad and it sounds so forced and nasal.
