    Absolution is the most disappointing Muse record.

     

    More than T2L, given all that hype from the early E-Werk clips?

     

    And this is the biggest waste of potential IMO. Muse have Fury, Radiohead have Climbing Up the Walls. These are two of my all-time favourite rock songs, and neither band has really written anything close to those slow-burning, sonic walls of distortion and existential dread since then.

     

    But hey, I'd settle for a guitar-driven, multi-movement song along the veins of Paranoid Android or Citizen Erased.

     

    :yesey:

    Muse Christmas Present

    Can't wait to play the Sydney '07, RAH '08 and Montreux '16 versions consecutively in order on loop for 1 hour to see in Christmas day!!!1

     

    (in fairness, this is better than last year's, and at least it's not one of the big singles)

     

    EDIT: forgot about the '08 Gran Rex version too - happy days!

    I think Thom's grudge was mostly based off him mistakenly thinking they slagged Radiohead off during the early days (I say 'mistakenly' because tmk that never happened), in combination with feeling like they were yet another band of many copying that sound at the time. Probably didn't help that Muse went on to become a much poppier stadium rock band before long either, maybe making him feel like they copied RH and used them as a platform to jump off.

     

    Last we heard of that beef was a fairly long time ago now though, so who knows how he feels now.

     

    True that it hasn't been going for a while actually - there was an interview in 2010 in which Dom complains about Thom treating him like shit when they met, but it's all been quiet since then. The early 00's were pretty spiky - Thom made a several cutting comments here and there

    Songs like Guiding Light, Soldier's Poem, and Neutron Star Collision are decent and enjoyable songs. A lot of people just like hopping onto bandwagons of hate so they don't feel weird or left out. My opinion of course, no argument required. Thoughtful discussion always welcome however.

     

    I've never understood the hate for Soldier's Poem. I just don't think it fits in the same cheese category as the other two mentioned there, and the harmonies are lovely, even if a complete Beach Boys/Bohemian Rhapsody ripoff. It's one of Matt's nicer vocals as well.

     

    I love the fact that Big Freeze doesn't really get mentioned that much when we're ripping Muse songs to shreds ("Fight (FIGHT!) Or will you show me mercy (ME-URRRR-SEE)!!" etc.) - my personal theory is that it's so bad that a lot of us have subconsciously tried to forget it even exists...

    has the two proshot sections from the TV broadcast (which were broken up by Dom talking). To patch them into one continuous song, your best bet is to use this really good fan audio
    to fill in the gaps

    Just relistened to a couple of live versions of Take A Bow.

     

    Nothing will convince me this isn't Muse's best live closer. Absolutely enormous. Probably right up there as their very best songs live ever. In fact, it's simply one of their best songs.

     

    :yesey:

    Still annoyed that they fucked up this album's release by sending out the first 5 proper tracks beforehand and leaving us with mainly rubbish still to listen to when it finally came out
