Absolution Tour was their best. My cousin went to night 2 of Earl's Court '04 and said it was the best gig they've ever been to.

Its easy to get bored of TIRO after we've heard it live for so many years, but it's still a great song. Admittedly I have a soft spot for TSP, but the chorus is huge and the live performances from '04 made it one of my favourites. Pressure is mediocre at best.. its far too long and has a chorus that feels out of place If FAWY and Endlessly were released after TR they would probably both be worse songs. Endlessly would be overproduced and ladened with extra backing vocals and FAWY would go through cheesier chord progressions (like the horrid bridge section in The Void). So you're right they'd get more stick but I recon it'd be warranted as the same songs with a 2018 Muse finish would likely be pretty bad.

For me: Stockholm Syndrome Ruled By Secrecy Butterflies & Hurricanes Fury Hysteria Blackout The Small Print Break it to Me Apocalypse Please Sing for Absolution Propaganda Time is Running Out Falling Away With You Endlessly The Dark Side Algorithm The Void Blockades Thoughts of Dying an Atheist (agree this is by far the weakest on Abso) Pressure Dig Down Thought Contagion Something Human Get Up and Fight So I guess I find the good songs on ST to be amongst the same quality as the average songs on Absolution. The problem with ST is most of the second half of the album is bordering on unlistenable.

Guiding Light was probably the worst Muse song when it was released, but since then we've had Revolt, Aftermath, The Globalist, Something Human, Get up and Fight, Thought Contagion and most of the songs on The 2nd Law.. safe to say it's probably not even in the bottom 10 anymore!
-
Considerably worse songs though, nothing on ST comes close to the quality of song writing seen on Absolution... maybe BITM comes closest.

Villains was a massive disappointment and Kendrick is king. If you type Kendrick Lamar generic into google, the autocorrect changes it to Kendrick Lamar genius - that should tell you enough!

My code just stopped working as soon as it hit 09:00.. guess that's that!

At least NSC was a complete one off though. According to Matt, Dig Down will be on the new album. Comparing to the other electro-pop singles, I think it's considerably worse than UD, Madness and DI - and they all came off average to poor albums. Puts a big downer on this next album before we've even gotten to the proper build up stage..

I missed this one, not sure I could ever go to a normal Muse gig now knowing how much better they can be. I really hope they follow up on their offhand comment that they'd like to do gigs like this again. I wonder what songs would win out if they did it again in one years time. I recon Showbiz, Assassin and Muscle Museum would all win again, then maybe we'd get City of Delusion and Eternally Missed in for SfA and Easily.
-
Live it's just so disappointing, but that's mostly down to being overplayed. In a studio list I'd have it much higher.

Share your controversial Muse opinions II - More Radiohead talk
Oy replied to superimposition's topic in Other Muse Topics
I thought you loved Fillip?! And no way is the Micro Cuts outro worse than the verse. -
If we're talking album piano songs then Butterflies and Hurricanes certainly needs a mention. But if it's just live then my top two are definitely RBS and SD. Then you have the AP, Meglomania, Hoodoo, Screenager tier, then USoE and Endlessly, then crap like Explorers and Feeling Good.
-
I think Revolt is the most overrated song on this board. There are a fair few people who think it's listenable. I also would say on here that Take a Bow, Megalomania, Reapers and Showbiz are slightly overrated (whilst all being good songs). For me the most underrated are Eternally Missed, The Small Print, City of Delusion and most of Hullabaloo.
-
I think this must be why a lot of music lovers hate Muse. People who look for musical subtlety and well crafted lyrics are going to run a mile!

Unsustainable, Follow me.. then Madness and... ? But anyway, 'Musestep' was embarrassingly shit so anyone who predicted it would be were correct. That's not 'hating', just successfully weighing up the strengths and weakenses of a band and seeing if they would suit a certain genre.
-
I'm not sure Drones is actually heavier than BH&R either.
-
I guess the first minute of Aftermath could work quite well as an instrumental intro. All the other parts of the song are crap so it makes sense to just play the good bit. Something like Aftermath guitar intro (in A minor) + Time is Running Out would work alright.
