    That change for the pre-chorus and the “I see a change on the horizon / Reasons to be frightened” is so fucking catchy it’s criminal

     

    Yep, those first two chords in the pre-chorus always sound great just as a general rule imo

    Could this go on to rival BH&R for me? That would be too far for even me to say this early but the seed’s there...I feel a mash-up of the two (with better production on Black Holes’ part) could be amazing.

     

    Nah I doubt it ever could do for me, TAB, MOTP, Invincible, Assassin (GOB coz may as well), COD and Hoodoo all on the same album are near-impossible heights to reach (I say “near” because OOS > Abso > BH&R imo)

    No no no no no non non no.

     

    It will

     

    Fingers crossed, only listened once but I just thought it drowned out the piano too much for my liking — I’d have probs at least have turned them down significantly in the mix but I’m sure it’ll get some more listens to get a better judgement :D

    Wow this is a great album. Best since BH&R In my present opinion after one listen, I’d probs rank it 4th (behind the holy trinity), although again that seems harsh on Drones which I still really like.

     

    Well, Algorithm delivered to my expectations on every level, just wish the piano had been used a bit more as it sounded gorgeous when it briefly came in. What anway to kick off the album, good lyrics and a great chorus. Reckon I prefer the album version atm (no slight on the alt. version though).

    Always open to some Prince influence and Propaganda utilises that i fluency so well. The guitar playing the vocal melody sounds mint, another great chorus (the final one in particular) and a sweet sweet guitar solo. Having been very curious on this track in particular, it’s definitely turned out to be a good’un.

    Much like others have said, BITM was a massive surprise and one which paid off — great tune, funky af, solid verses, yet another brilliant chorus and a sick solo to top it off.

    I don’t mind saying that GUAF is getting a soft spot much like Revolt did last time round. The pre-chorus i especially love, I’m a sucker for a good old major mediant chord in a major key.

    Blockades is becoming a favourite from this album, top drawer verses and pre-chorus, only minor gripe is that in the chorus (on the 2nd time round) he sings a major third — in this instance I’d have rather it stuck to the key signature. Other than that though, another solid track, with a quality guitar solo.

    And of course The Void; as ever, Muse with the high quality album closer. I personally am a fan of the switch to major midway through, and I think it would have been near-perfect had it ended with Matt and the piano — I can’t say I’m a fan of the “wub-wubs” at the end at all I’m afraid, hopefully they’ll grow on me.

     

    And this is without mentioning the non-album versions of the tracks as well! Overall a great album, after hearing DD back in summer last year I feared the worst but to say the other tracks have redeemed it would be a massive understatement. 8.5/10, can’t wait to see the songs be performed live.
