  1. By the way, people earlier were talking about possible setlists combos... just imagine: you went to Muse gig hoping to hear CE, Assassin, SS, Handler, you name it. And then you get setlist like this:

     

    1. [JFK]

    2. Dead Inside

    3. Dig Down

    4. Revolt

    5. Follow Me

    6. Interlude

    7. Madness

    8. Mercy

    9. Uprising for lols

    10. Panic Station

    11. Big Freeze (live debut yay!!)

    12. 1 minute of Fury but the power cuts out

    13. Undisclosed Desires

    14. Man with a Harmonica

    15. Guiding Light

  2. The more I listen to 2nd Law now, the more I apreciate it. It's a really decent album apart from two songs. Even Unsustainable sounds badass to me now. Animals is a classic.

     

    Unsustainable was totally bonkers live, amazing intro followed up by that sweet Supremacy riff.. I'm not a fan od T2L but as Tjet pointed out - the tour itself was awesome. And I got to hear Sunburn live <3

  3. So Dig Down is a bit boring in my opinion. It's nothing we haven't seen them do before, and it's pretty much just Madness with the energy and soul ripped out of it. I don't think it's bad, and it's far from their worst, but it's just really boring.

     

    And Matt says this will be on album 8? If that's the case, my expectations are pretty low. It's a shame really, Drones was a step in the right direction, and now they seem to be going backwards again...

     

    Exactly. Drones, while incredibly cheesy at times, was relatively consistent and had parts which were good or even great.

     

    And since Matt said that new album will be diverse - I'm guessing The 2nd Law part 2, this time with gospel, acoustic and probably electronic and guitar riffs as well. In other words - another messy compilation of different songs.

  4. It has zero synthave-feel for fuck's sake. Listen to Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Dance with the Dead, Kavinsky, Dynatron or any other synthwave artists. This has not a single touch of synthwave. Nothing.

     

    He never said it has a synthwave feel, ya know. As a matter of fact, he said the exact opposite.

  5. In your opinion... I don't find it bland, if anything it's too far the other way. It's not as good as some other stuff, and it's cheesy as all hell It doesn't make it mediocre in my eyes

     

    My opinion is the ultimate opinion, haven't you realised that already?

     

    On a side note - you must love double cheese on pizza. I hate it. Ok, maybe not as much as pineapple on pizza, but still.

  6. This is one of the problems for me, yeah. Apart from the gospel vibe towards the end (which I completely understand if other people don't feel) there's nothing new here at all.

     

     

     

    I've had very low expectations of Muse since The 2nd Law came out, and especially since the 2nd half of Drones was released. Is that a bad thing? It means I'm less likely to get all down about it when they don't match the quality of Absolution / BH&R (and I'm pretty sure they never will, by the way). And I'm totally fine with that. I don't know how that can reflect badly on me - or can mean you should feel sorry for me.

     

    Fine, perhaps it was a poor choice of words on my side. It's just that Muse can do much better and I don't understand how can people be happy with what they got. Not because of the style itself (I understand people enjoying Madness, UD or Dead Inside) but because of the blandness, repetitiveness and overall mediocrity.

  7. Why the fuck would you feel sorry for someone genuinely liking a song? Get over yourself.

     

    People genuinely liking Dig Down must have very low expectations of Muse. I find it even hard to accept Dig Down as a guilty pleasure song - there is no originality, no heart (or soul for that matter..). Nothing.

  8. Crazy concept here, but it IS possible for an artist to write whatever music they want and enjoy writing. Same goes with fans, some people actually *SHOCK* like the song.

     

    You're right, some artists become so full of themsevles that they end up putting out these monstrosities like Dig Down or new Linkin Park stuff. Some fans will just like anything, but I agree - some might genuinely like it. I feel sorry for them.

  9. The sooner they disband the better. From 2nd Law on, with a few exceptions, they just shit on their own legacy. No wonder people tend to smirk when I mention being a Muse fan.

     

    Dig Down is just awful. How could they listen to the song and think "Yeah, that sounds good, we're pretty happy with what we achieved here".

     

    Now - I love electronic, I like pop and I don't hate gospel (Brandon Flowers did it right with his "Still Want You") but this sounds uninspired, cheesy and boring. What the hell, Muse?

  10. Another case of the fake muse song probably being better than the real one lol. Remember when Dear Sherlock - Cage was a fake Psycho lol. And actually better.

     

    Also fake Supremacy clip on youtube.

     

    That fake Supremacy leak was awesome. Better than pretty much entire 2nd Law :LOL:

  11. "Dig Down"...

    I don't know why, but to me a title like this doesn't give off encouraging vibes about how the song will sound.

    I'll be extremely happy to be proved otherwise.

     

    Then you have "Revolt", "Resistance" and "Madness", titles suggested a more serious rock songs and they ended up being cheeseburgers.

     

    Nonetheless - I don't have high hopes when it comes to anything concerning new-Muse.

  12. Muse know just as well how to kill hype. Remember when first songs from 'back to roots' Drones were mediocore and banal 'Psycho' and totally un-back-to-roots 'Dead Inside'?

     

    On the other hand - thanks to not knowing The Handler prior to album release, it made the album sound better at first listen than it actually was.

  13.  

    And I *could* see an OoS/Hullabaloo era-style of Muse song working with Blade Runner, but I'd be surprised if the new song had any connection to it.

     

    I always thought that Micro Cuts, with its sort of menacing guitar, would fit as an intro song for some neo-noir move/show/game.

  14. Yeah, I've only seen Blade Runner once but Muse reeeally wouldn't fit.

     

    Not sure where the 'it makes sense' thought process is coming from :chuckle:

     

    I absolutely love original Blade Runner and am big fan of Vangelis - Muse of course wouldn't fit. I was thinking more of a promo song, not actually used in the movie.

     

    I think it kind of makes sense, because of the timing; Muse teaser dropped just a day after the BR2049 trailer, Jared is starring in it and BTS suggests 80s vibe. Of course I might be reading too much into it.
