Is there a order to watch the videos in for some sort of story?
Yep, but I'm struggling to see what's the best order to follow the story honestly. I tend to feel it as two main storylines (Matt's and Terry's) in their way of escaping a layered simulation, Inception-like I'd say. Both reaching out the "dark side", which would be the final layer before reaching reality. I think Terry manages to reach it in the Algorithm video, but Matt probably dies in TDS video.
But, well, that's just my theory which might be pretty wrong

My God, The Void acoustic is so, so, sooo good.
-
It's like a season recap. So weird!
Basically this
. I'm still trying to see if there's some connection between the lyrics and the video, but can't seem to find it. I was waiting for an explanation at the end, but nope.Maybe they have more videos in mind? Love the BITM one btw. It doesn't add a lot to the whole story, but it's really well done.

Nuclear take: Propaganda is one of the best songs on the album and is a great song overall, not only on the guilty pleasure-side.
Nah, it's awesome and my favourite song probably in the whole album.

If you need your account deleted CE, let us know and we'll assist happily
GUAF is growing on me
Because it's actually good and will defend it forever
. Really liked the verses and the pre-chorus progression, and the chrous is pretty powerful. Also, have to love the vocals Matt deliver in the last chorus.I knew it was going to be divisive though
-
:LOL:. Well, if you came here with a less agressive attitide I'd listen.
-
Exactly. From love to embarrassment, through anger and sadness
It's the best thing about it, I would say And YAY to your willingness to help with the web! Getting excited about it
Yeah, I find the idea pretty cool, and it's an opportunity to learn more and do something different than the sites I develop at work.
Need a designer though, haven't a clue about making something not painful to everyone's eyes
:LOL: -
Screw it. This might be the best song on the album....I think it is. Dang. Wow.
It's my favourite too, with BITM. I find them hilariously fun to listen.

I think I can get some things, but I don't quite get why Blockades video exists
-
Ouch, only a 77/100 and 7.2/10 on Metacritic. Pretty much aligns with how I feel about this album. It's ok, but nothing special.
Lol, it's also their highest metascore. But it's pretty much useless, there are just a handful of reviews.
-
Love this idea, count me in! I really think they made a great job in this album, and it was and still is the band which make me feel more. From love to embarassment
:LOL:. But that's not a bad thing, that's what makes me interested and always coming back for their new releases.By the way, I'm not a designer but my work is actually web development, so I'm willing to help with the "independent web" idea.

I don't get why Dig Down is getting so much hate
I just dislike the wub,wub,wub in the background and that is pretty much in all the song
.I like the rest of the album though.
-
Verses and specially the pre-chorus are really great and catchy. I find it a really good track honestly.
Oddly enough the chorus remind me a lot of a MCR song

Swap FAWY for TIRO and it’s the correct Abso opinion, I stand by you pal
Itching to find some tabs for this album, so many songs I’m gagging to start playing. Might have to work the piano parts out myself, none sound to hard fortunately.
Not a big fan of TIRO tbh. The rest of the songs of the album are top notch though.
I think that after hearing this album for quite a bit I have a formed opinion (well, formed and hyped, so this will change) about how I'd rate the songs.
God tier: Break it to Me, Propaganda, Algorithm, The Void, Pressure, The Dark Side.
Pretty good tier: Blockades, Get Up And Fight.
Meh tier: Thought Contagion, Something Human.
Kill it with fire tier: Dig Down (gospel version is dope though).
-
C'mon, TSP chorus is abhorrent
.(Making friends in the board
) -
:LOL::LOL:. Yep, wasn't thinking.
-
Honestly, and even if it's unpopular, Abso has a few duds imho. Not really feel at all TOADA, TSP or FAWY and never will, too late now
.So, I think this album has a legit chance of being third. I'm pretty sure it won't reach OoS/BH&R, those albums are pretty much flawless.
-
Honestly, after hearing the alternate versions I regret not buying the deluxe version. They're pretty cool!
-
This is a pretty damn solid album overall! I really enjoy every single song with the exception of Dig Down and Get Up and Fight. A- on first listen.
Until you finish singing GET UP AND FIIIIIGHT! in the shower like a mad person.
I did
. I felt in love with it instantly. -
Potentially, for me. Right now it sure feels that way. But I feel like that was my sentiment about Drones too, and that didn't last.
I still feel that way about Drones tbh, and to this day I still rank Drones at the 4th position. I think this album will take at least that position. I think it maybe have a chance to take the third position (which is Abso imho).
I believe that the first 5 songa in the record are S Muse material.
-
It seems like almost everyone seems to agree that this album feels better at least than the previous two then?
-
Disagree, album version fits better sonically. The alternate version definitely seems to have been a love letter to the older fans.
I think alternate version will not sound that out of place. I mean, not at Thought Contagion levels, which fells odd in the tracklist imho. I might have fun later and try different tracklists, I might be wrong with this.
On another topic, GUAF is my new Revolt. Love it.
Thought Contagion and DD might be my least favourite songs in this album. At least DD alternate version is cool. I'd agree that the alternate version doesn't fit in the album though
-
Algorithm alternate should have been the primary version.
Agreed, I like the album version, but the alternate version is just EPIC.
-
Different opinions, that's fun!
What's funny is that you listed my two favourite songs atm as worst songs
:LOL:.

Album Eight: Simulation Theory
in Songs & Releases
Posted
I think so, I'd like to hear other theories though
I have another version which is Terry not reaching reality, but just ending all the simulations and dying. Darker but cool
