  1. You've got to be kidding me local radio! The DJ gives a friendly reminder about the new muse song being played in like fifteen minutes, then proceeds to play that stupid new way too catchy song by Walk The Moon! Why?!
  2. Local radio station playing Bastille, scheduled to play the new Muse song in half an hour. Ugh, not that I dislike Bastille, but how is this considered alternative? Alternative to what exactly? The junk they play on modern pop radio? Nope, not really. Come on 3:20 EST, get here faster!
  3. Seems to me like that clip is reminiscent of the vocal effect used in Hysteria more than anything, with maybe a few more harmonies. That should make it good, right?
  4. Consistency can be a difficult term to define in terms of the consistency of a piece of music, so perhaps I shouldn't have used it. Nevertheless, I think the old albums are equal to the new albums.
  5. I'd buy that. I does seem to follow the same loud/fast song-quiet/slow song-repeat pattern through most of the album and all of the highs are supremely awesome and the lows are still great. It's pretty evenly dispersed, however, it's not my favorite album. Maybe it's a little too consistent or something.
  6. Exactly! The first number of times I listened to OoS, I quite appreciated the second half, but I just couldn't get into it as much as the first half at all. It took quite a while and each song individually establishing itself in my mind as awesome before the second half even really made much sense to me. TR on the other hand took hold of me right at the start and didn't let go till I got to the end, even though the symphony was a bit to grand for my preconceptions about music at the time. Still that' silken the last fourth of that record versus the last half of OoS which I didn't quite get until later. Personally, I've always loved basically every track on TR, with only US and GL having gone a bit down in awesomeness since I found the rest of Muse's catalogue. On that count, TR is, in my opinion, much more consistent than OoS, despite the fact that they are both supremely awesome and epic.
  7. Well my top two favorites in order are TR and OoS and my top two least favorite (closer to the top means I like it less) are Showbiz and T2L, with Abso and BH&R duking it out in the middle, so I'd say that each set (first three vs. second three) is about the same as the other. Admittedly Showbiz is much more consistent than T2L, but TR is also more consistent than OoS, so they kind've equal each other out. A vote for equality is a vote for happiness as a Muse fan!
  8. I really like the choruses for one, but I can see where this would be a dividing factor for lots of fans. And I suppose I wasn't very specific with those descriptors, but I still think there are factors I can't quite place which make the two quite similar.
  9. It seems to have a lot of the dynamic nature between the verses and choruses that SS has, it (assuming what they've been playing live isn't extended) has its own built in outro like SS, and I personally think it's going to be somewhere as awesome as SS. I'm a quite optimistic person, though, so I'm probably overreaching.
  10. Based on what I've heard of Reapers so far, I'm gonna go out on a limb and call this at least an attempt at writing Stockholm Syndrome 2.0. Plus I think it's supremely awesome and, as much as I like Psycho, much better than Psycho.
