I haven't really listened to Muse in a while but I'm listening to Exogenesis right now and man do I love it.
-
Yeah I always thought HAARP sounded really bad and I wasn't quite sure why people raved about it. Great setlist just not great performances
-
Does Matt still not play guitar for bits of Uprising?
-
Oh, I'm being super careful about how I word it, don't worry. The current draft has "THIS WEEK" involved twice, both in bold and underlined
Haha it should just say "PLAY ASSASSIN RIGHT FUCKING NOW"
-
Not sure i've done this before.

Sometimes I think I kinda prefer the Thin White Duke remix of UD. I sorta fluctuate between whether I like the remix or the original better

The band seems to keep their promises... The Small Print was apparently soundchecked, as they have said in September : TSP, Fury and Map for the Drones tour in Europe. So The Small Print, SFA, Assassin and Take a Bow, it seems to become better and better. Shame it wasn't done before, but better late than never ! :-)
But a gig with TSP and Assassin would be so heavy!!
Holy shit TSP? I don't remember that being mentioned but that song is massive live! I'd love to see it
-
I kinda like that Muse opens shows with a new album track every time and I kinda wish they did it with closers. Reapers would be a fantastic encore closer and I think US would've worked during TR tour. I definitely liked Survival during T2L.

Blood and Thunder
-
Probably not 'til about 20 past, their lateness has gone up a notch since they've come back to Europe.
Weren't they early for Paris night 5?
-
I almost shat my pants the first time I played Knights of Cydonia on Guitar Hero. What a song!
-
Hysteria was cut Night 2 + 3 so I can definitely see that happening tbh. Maybe being a bit hopeful thinking it'll be for Assassin though
Honestly not having both Assassin and Showbiz played will be really disappointing.
-
Semi-prediction/prayers for tomorrow night:
Psycho
Dead Inside
Plug In Baby
The Handler
Assassin
Supermassive Black Hole
Starlight
Apocalypse Please / Sunburn
Madness
Guiding Light
JFK + Reapers
Time Is Running Out
Uprising
Mercy
The Globalist
Showbiz
Knights Of Cydonia
plsplsplsplspls (apart from guiding light)
They probably won't cut Hysteria so maybe they keep PIB and remove GL? Hopefully?
-
Ah fuck they sound checked GL
-
Take a fucking Bow
-
Blackout!

I will defend Eurasia till my death. Love that song
-
As long as we all agree that Revolt is fokkin gr8
-
Aftermath is just a cheese fest in the end, so I think if they cut that part, it could be a great song, but... the end is just to much.
Aftermath is genuinely a very pretty song but god damn that last chorus makes me feel like I'm in some sort of church choir.
-
Reapers is fine imo. It's mostly that Psycho is at least one chorus too long, and The Handler's solo is at least 10 seconds too long. And then there's Aftermath which just drags on for too long in general.
Not to mention the Defector chorus going one too many times
-
Unfortunately, I think we have been told, indirectly maybe, that these have nothing to do with the "concept" and simply exist because Mutt told them to extend sections/songs, add solos, etc.
I'm not convinced Matt put that deep of thought into how things impacted the "concept."
I agree that every one of those is an issue, and if it really was true that Matt added them upon request, I can't wish enough that he'd have had the fortitude to stand up for himself during the recording process, or at least was able to realize that the repetition was detrimental to the songs instead of being overwhelmed by someone telling him it was great.
People really stand up for The Handler solo, because it's otherwise a pretty great song, and the solo "evolves into something cool" - but, it really doesn't. At all. After over a minute of the exact same thing, the song changes direction suddenly, not gradually, and it could have been executed exactly the same way, with better impact, if that solo was trimmed down a great deal.
It makes a fantastic song often tiring to listen to, and actually detracts from the important impact of the ending because of the loss of focus.
It was an unfortunate time for Matt to start taking someone's suggestions, imo.
That was my first thought listening to both Psycho and The Handler. And considering Muse is pretty good about not being overly-repetitious, I think most of the extended sections were Mutt's ideas. That's why the album feels so short. It's around the same length as OoS but that one feels a lot longer because way more happens.

I haven't taken Origin out of the CD player in my car in three weeks. I love it so much!!!!
Drones Album Discussion Thread

I haven't listened to Drones in a few months but god damn. This album is a complete mess. Even Reapers and The Handler seemed boring to me and the lyrics were just terrible. I couldn't believe how bored I was during what was supposed to be their exciting rock album. Outside of Dead Inside, which I still quite like, I hated just about every second of this album. I really never thought they could get worse than T2L but I at least like more than one song on that album.
I think more than anything I was shocked by how much I used to like the album. I knew it had faults then but I think I was a little blind to how bad it was. Just...what the fuck?
