Still can’t get over the guitar stand for Dead Inside
surely there was a performance just as good where he had a guitar for the whole song? -
On the (lack of) continuity front, I may well be wrong but I’m sure that at the end of Reapers I saw Matt pick up the Mirror guitar (or a similar model) as if they were going to play PiB, before Hysteria started instead (with a different guitar)

For me I’ve recently started loving The Globalist again. Yeah sure, the transitions aren’t the smoothest, but each of the 3 sections are ace imo. It would have worked much better as 3 separate songs (which would obviously need to be lengthened), perhaps a trilogy of songs to end the album. But in it’s actual format I still really like it and I think the core parts are all very good

How so?
Welcome to the board btw
-
Ugh this guy gets it so much
great minds and all that
-
PiB would work great as a main set closer imo (quite a few examples in 2004 I think?), and I’m sure it could do a good job as closer (I’d rather that than KoC), but SS, Bliss and TAB are their 3 best closers for me by a long stretch. Or Showbiz (but that has even less chance of being a closer than the others)
-
Feeling Good aside, I think both halves of OOS are equally amazing. The 2nd half is arguably where it gets more experimental, but that pays off when you’re getting songs like Screenager so I’d say they are both very evenly balanced. The uninitiated might find ones like Micro Cuts hard to listen to, but for me the 2nd half is just as awesome as the first.
Not to mention Megalomania

The solo’s great, especially with Dom’s crash cymbal accompanying it, so it almost seems odd to me that he goes back to the toms straight after the solo. I feel like it would reach a much better climax if he stayed on the crash cymbals for at least the following chorus, even perhaps until the end of the song
-
I reckon Showbiz, EM, MM and then any two of COD, SD, Assassin, CE, DS, Futurism, Glorious.
-
At the end of the day, the news is a platform for scaremongering.

I don’t think there was any intent to cause any harm. If the “Final Solution” line is intended to be a reference to the Holocaust, then I think that the “war crimes” line earlier on in the song clearly shows that he is repulsed by the events (as any human should be)

The video
:LOL:Thanksfully, for me, the song cuts it

Supremacy top tier Muse
The album version is a bit stale, which imo is largely due to the guitar tone. Live however, I’d say it’s a great song
-
In terms of top tier, I’d say
T2L: Supremacy, Animals, Isolated System
Drones: Dead Inside, Reapers, The Handler
Also as Citizen_Eraser said, parts of The Globalist
I’d put Drones above T2L any day of the week
-
Ghostly synth would've been a better main stay than the backing vocals.
Having listened a few times I agree
-
Onto my third listen, and whilst I still agree with what I said in my previous post regarding the “whoa”s, and keeping the whammy part for the solo so as to pack a bigger lunch, perhaps the choruses would be better with the ghostly synth than the whoas? Or maybe a mix between the two, slightly favouring the synth?
Either way it’s only a small criticism
-
I really like it on first listen, quite a lot in fact. The riff is great and I love the synth. The choral vocals aren’t near as bad as I had anticipated going off what’s been said on here, however I do think they should be turned down in the mix.
I’m glad that they didn’t use the whammy solo (instead of the “whoa”s) in every chorus, as someone suggested, because that would take away the impact that the solo actually has when it arrives.
-
Tbh I do like the idea that The Handler’s solo is supposed to represent the protagonist overcoming his “Handler”
Anyway let’s go listen to Thought Contagion for the first time
-
Excluding the long winded intro, if the following 3 main “sections” of the song (starting from “you were never truly loved”) were all 3 separate, stand-alone tracks, I think all 3 could have been great as a kind of trilogy to close the album. As it is, I do really enjoy all the parts but it doesn’t flow well.

Yeah, I never realised that they used it for any European gigs, just assumed that he had the guitar on him the whole time from what I’d seen and the gig I was at
