Speculation on future gigs/tours

[Oy]

OoS is way heavier than Drones imo, then Abso then Drones.

 

I'm not sure Drones is actually heavier than BH&R either.

Really? Well it's up there anyway, i doubt we ever see another album as heavy as Drones.

[serpentsatellite]

I've discussed it before (although I'm not sold on Defector as "rock" )

 

We went from the end of T2L with Matt saying specifically that the next album would be "back to basics" rock, would sound like Yes Please and Agitated, that B&H and SS weren't on Rome because that was the direction they were going in in the future, talked about how they were "getting into the mindset" of OoS and Abso for Drones, writing sequels to CE...

 

Then they do a handful of heavy festivals, and then wtf happens with their own tour?!?

(Also why fans on the early legs couldn't realistically have anticipated what the tour was like.)

Half of the Drones "rock" songs you listed weren't even reliably played on the tour, and Matt himself said he was surprised Psycho was popular, and thought it would be more of a "deep cut."

 

It ultimately feels like the album was an attempt to draw back in those "old fans" while the tour (and singles) showed that they feel it's still more important to be mainstream accessible outside of their "deep cuts."

(And after trying to cater to those older fans, they by admission refused to play a song or two for them.)

I feel like we got the ol' bait and switch.

OOS > Abso > Hulla > BH&R > Showbiz = Drones > T2L > TR in terms of heaviness.

 

Think I've said before that I'd quite like to see them go for an electronic/pop rock record next though, just wary about them getting it to work live (tho I'm sure stuff in the vein of Lies would go down well).

So I'm assuming you don't like Take A Bow, MK Uktra and Map Of The Problematique, seeing as they fall under the electronic category?

[halo eighteen]

^So would Madness, Dead Inside, and Undisclosed Desires. That's a very blanket genre term that the band have definitely already beaten to a bloody death.

In what way?

[LewisF]

In what way?

 

MK might be pushing it a bit, but I'd say MOTP contains electronic elements. Whilst not directly electronic, the guitar part (with the effect included) sounds electronic-y. I'd say the same with MK (to an extent)

[denise3112]

pushing it a bit...

not directly electronic...

to an extent...

 

Quite so

Love two of those so yeah, I wouldn't mind some more pop.

[LewisF]

Quite so

 

The point on TAB still stands though.

 

I agree with Tjet too.

[Jobby]

 

u jokin

 

Gimme more Easily, UD, Lies, Dead Inside, Supermassive, Revolt, Glorious, IBTY, Map and Bliss any day.

I'd class Map as Electronic Rock, sure. Matt's guitar effect is probs the main hook/drive of the song and it pretty much solely relies on a heavily automated MIDI program throughout. MK's a bit more of a stretch though, I agree.

[FabriPav]

automated pattern guitar delay does not equal electronic imo

Each to their own, just sounds electronic-y to me

 

Edit: Jobby knows

[Boombleeb]

Is there a high chance Muse is coming to Australia next year? Might be my first Muse concert.

[nsk12]

Muse on any central Europe gig next year?

Nope. Unless they play Splendour In The Grass mid year but that seems unlikely.

I agree w fabri. OMG what's happening to me?

[FabriPav]

Yeah it's surprising that you are right for once

[denise3112]

[Bumpypotato]

Yeah, but it's also got a lot of synth work in the background. I'd say it could be classed as electronic rock.

What is it about Space Dementia, like, honestly? It's not really high-register on vocals, so no excuse there. It's not really a deep cut, it was always one of the most well-known songs in their gigs when it was a regular... I understand dropping something like MC, Showbiz or MM because, well, show some mercy(this is not a pun) to Matt's voice for crying out loud.

 

I just want it back

[Rustyy]

Was Space Dementia really that well known though
