    Because if their target is to complete it during summer/early fall and release it in late 2018/early 2019, there's no way they could rush writing all of them. When I say they've got them ready, I rather mean they may already written down main ideas to be developped in studio with some guidelines. Another reason that gets me hyped for Algorythm is pretty much that it's going to be their first proper piano-driven track since T2L.

    I feel they're already planning everything right now, but they're obviously trying not to disclose too much during interviews before the complete album gets released. They certainly have nearly all the songs ready; ready to be recorded and produced during the last sessions, I mean.
  3. MartianSpaghettiRider
    They wanted to complete it during summer, iirc.
  4. MartianSpaghettiRider
    Really? Great news, then!

    Well, when I first heard the studio version of The Way You Used To, I thought the production was "strange", too. To me, it sounded too quiet, "squashed", and not properly beefy, in comparison to ...Like Clockwork or other past albums like SFTD or Rated R. You told it: only a quarter of their carrier. Which seems so much because we have to wait a remarkable amount of time between albums now.
  6. MartianSpaghettiRider
    6 years aren't "ages", in fact. See? You proved my point.
  7. MartianSpaghettiRider
    Never say never. The album isn't completely finished yet, so they still could get in touch with him for at least one song. PS, Animals, DI, Reapers and The Handler would like to have a word with you.

    That's nice and everything, but there's a big, big problem about that: people would still complain they churn the same grog over and over. It might be a cliché statement, but I assure you it would be just like that, and I bet those poor three chaps would get tire soon of not attempting to do something different, even if it's just for fun. That means they would even go out with a feeble fart. I'd rather have them making a bad experiment while trying something new because they want to, than making the same album all over again to fulfill the whiny wishes of an exclusive group of people, thanks. Also, aren't they having fun now? It seems to me they're pretty happy with what they're currently doing. Whether we may like it or not, that's another matter, of course.

    So pessimistic. Even if all the first three/four singles are duff, if they decide to settle on maximum amount of songs they claimed (12) for the , we'd still have 8/9 songs to look out to. Between Algorythm being a piano-driven song, The Dark Side being the band's current favourite one, and the "Herrmann-like" strings mentioned in that IG post, I'm still looking forward to what they could do, "traditional song structures" or not.
  10. MartianSpaghettiRider
    It depends all on how they want to make this genre hopping sound, though. It doesn't have to be bad. If DD and TC are of any indication, I think there will be some key sound elements glueing the whole album together, like the hip hop influences and production. Meh, at this point I don't really care for flow from them, as long as it's gonna be a collection of good songs.
  11. MartianSpaghettiRider
    Then I don't know why you're still hanging around here if you think that way. If you think your musical tastes are more sophisticated than whatever they're putting out at the moment, why do you keep doing this? I'm just curious.
  12. MartianSpaghettiRider
    The fact they're going to cut their "proggier" tendences down surely saddens me a little. But seriously, assuming the album will be certainly shit because of what Matt claimed about sticking to more traditional song structure or because TC is going to be the rockiest track on there it's too much of a stretch. What did we expect, after all? It should have been clear by now that Muse aren't the kind of band that goes totally nuts about experimentation. They're showing how much they're a pop rock band at heart. With their own unique features that still make them stand out among others, but still a pop rock band. If I want to listen to something more properly experimental, I search elsewhere.
  13. MartianSpaghettiRider
    Not to the public, at least. Also, eons have passed by since we last heard of the user who had them, unfortunately.
  14. MartianSpaghettiRider
    Whoa, this so much. Lyrically wise, Matt may even conceive songs as intensely angsty as the ones on Showbiz or Origin. But I think he currently feels "too" fine to tackle this issues. Provoking further conflict between the band and its own fanbase is probably the last thing he wants now. It's quite of a pity, though, because I like the idea of an artist that challenges their audience's ideas about their image and identity in a significantly creative fashion, no matter how famous they may be.
  15. MartianSpaghettiRider
    It could be so. If someone from Muse France FB page has submitted a question related to that for the band interview project, I'd be glad.
  16. MartianSpaghettiRider
    I've seen it. Seriously, though?
  17. MartianSpaghettiRider
    Nah, Matt just advocated for national indipendencies without actually being xenophobic or racist. I don't see him being like that (you never really know, though...). On the other hand, I think it's quite interesting: it may work as a reminder that advocating for "some" sociopolitical ideas and thesis doesn't really imply embracing "some" others, but even for me it's rather difficult to reconcile with that, because some associations of ideas seem "commonly proved" so much by now. It's very easy and (maybe too much) convenient to come to the equation: nationalist = national indipendency, xenophobia, racism, restricted civil or free expression rights, etc.
  18. MartianSpaghettiRider
    In fact. Beside the synths, the track isn't half-playback at all; if anything, it seems they have reduced them.
  19. MartianSpaghettiRider
    I didn't know that. That's totally messed up. Still, it proves that no completely sane person would believe things like that. I mean, sex camps on Mars? That's just nuts. But, you can actually force a piece of fake news down your audience's throats and make them accept that if you do it "the right way", indeed.
  20. MartianSpaghettiRider
    Well, I feel you, even if I don't necessarily share the same amounts of concern as yours. It's like a game or a joke taken too far, isn't it? However, I think there are some parametres to be taken into consideration when talking about that stuff. The main, most crucial one could be how those theories are relatable to the events of everyday life. For example, if we're talking about theories claiming black people are all part of a conspiracy to erase the white, then I completely agree with you, because it's a case that could create an extremely dangerous, violent situation on a sociopolitical level. The black people whom a paranoid theory as such is centered around are depicted with pretty much realistic features, in fact, and we've already seen how that could enable xenophobes, racist, white suprematists, Nazis, etc. to commit violent acts against them. It's never been funny or harmlessly bonkers, in short words. If we're talking about a theory like the ones you briefly exposed in your first paragraph, instead, they may come out as totally ridiculous indeed, because of their scattered and heterogeneous elements, or supernatural, esoteric ones (see the "Lizard People" theory, which Unnatural Selection is based upon). I don't know if I've explained myself very well, but I hope so.
  21. MartianSpaghettiRider
    That would mean he never saw that as a problem, and it would show Matt's most immature side, because I always felt he just spread them for the sake of looking controversial and stirring arguements around the band without caring if he was believed or not. Although I can't help but laugh a bit whenever I happen to watch a conspiracy theory video out of curiosity and see Muse taken as a band rallying the world against "shadow powers" and such. No sane person would believe Matt sings about those themes without a trace of irony, no matter how small it would probably be, or how terrible his lyrics may be. EDIT: Oh, and I can't see how a sane person would believe a man wearing Gucci bombers and neon glasses as he sings about all of that, unless you could consider the "in-character" theory (which is also quite plausible to me).
  22. MartianSpaghettiRider
    Meh, I always thought that all the conspiracy and dystopian stuff were just part of an act to build a certain image of himself and thus appear "cool" to the musical world. Many love to buy into the "eccentric rockstar" cliché, so that wouldn't surprise me. On the other hand, he also seemed genuinely fascinated with those sort of things, not to the point of believing them, but rather using them in a heavily ironic fashion in his lyrics to "mock" them and point them out as paranoid and manic constructs. Maybe it's just me, but that's part of the appeal that BHAR had when I listened to it for the first time, coupled with the great music, of course.
  23. MartianSpaghettiRider
    It won't be Muse related, though.
  24. MartianSpaghettiRider
    If we're just talking about different productions, yes. About the sound, it might actually be less so. In DD and TC you can make out some similar elements in both if their arrangements, like the electronic drums and the synth parts that gives them a vague hip hop flavour in some points. Anyway, the fact they'll be working with Timbaland has been quite of a shocking news for me to read. I thought I'd never see "Muse" and "Timbaland" put together in the same sentence, and I don't know what to make of this... It could be genius, it could be a complete dogs**t. We'll see. The idea of them experimenting with hip hop intrigues me, though.
  25. MartianSpaghettiRider
    It's been decades people do so, and I actually agree about the need of changing this perspective. The recent Hollywood scandals proved how much celebrities must be held accountable for every crime or infraction of theirs, like every man. I'm not defending Matt because I believe he can do no wrong as a man (the biggest falsity ever) or I idolize him, but because I just think he didn't mean what many people assume he did by saying those things.
