LTM Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/nov/11/take-that-progress-cd-review "Progress takes their sound closer to that of the Killers (the blaring arena-rocker Underground Machine), Scissor Sisters (the glam stomp of Happy Now) and even Supermassive Black Hole-era Muse (the alienated electro marching tune Kidz)." http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/album-take-that-progress-polydor-2133933.html "The real star here is producer Stuart (Madonna's Music)Price, who manages to turn the band into a different act for every song: Muse here, Bowie there, and everywhere an electro-pop sheen and a camp and knowing smile. (And not, note to Robbie, a smirk)." http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/qvwx "The latter sounds like he’s having a ball throughout, particularly on another Owen/Williams duet, Kidz, which exhilaratingly combines martial beats, glam guitars, Atari techno and the kind of absurd dystopian pomp ("Daggers of science evolving into violence / We're not sure where the fallout blows") usually found on Muse albums." http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/nov/14/take-that-progress-kitty-empire-review "You suspect it's down to Robbie's grandiosity and paranoiac tendencies that it also sounds like Queen and Muse." I can definitely see the resemblance. Can anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zdarlight Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 "Kidz".... that's one of the few songs I hadn't heard off the album. Well,not the chorus,but the verses are very muse-like.Music's a bit similar too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber<3 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I agree I got the Q magazine which had the Take That album review in it and I was kinda a bit shocked to see that it was compared to Muse So i got the album, as i would have anyway, because i'm a big TT fan, and the song Kidz sounds SO musey! As well as many of the other ones too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMUSE16 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I have this album i love it as i'm a massive Take That fan, i can see a bit of Muse in there if im honest, but as Robbie's back in the band, i think him and Matt have some similar views on things... oh, and Gary Barlow said that Muse where his favourite band so, there's another reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokemew Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Wait, you mean Take That, the band where Robbie started and where all the catchy pop songs I heard when I was a kid were from? well, I liked Take That when I was really little...but it's different. And that song is quite cool, I have to check them out again then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunlight Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Oh well, seems like they're Muse fans I remember stumbling across this interview of Robbie from about a month ago: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/playlist/view/158405/Robbie-Williams-How-Take-That-will-kick-JLS-butt/ I told him when I first heard The Flood it gave me goosebumps. “It’s epic,” he agreed. “It was noted that it sounds like Muse. I did have a word in Gary’s ear. Both him and I are big Muse fans. They do epic records but are crap at football – I played them the other week.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caff Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'm impressed - a thread about Take That and all the replies are positive! Tbh they're a different band now. You can't go around being the way you were in the 1990s as a band when you're all late 30s/early 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyMorphine Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjVM3-pRX5I&feature=player_embedded#! The lyrics could have been written by Mr Bellamy himself. In my opinion, the marching sounds like Apocalypse Please and the bass is kinda like in Uprising, when he said "Mirror Mirror on the Wall" I really thought it sounded like Gorillaz's Feel Good Inc. so I think it's a mix of uprising and a.p. Though I think it's a good song, I haven't heard any songs from Take That (haven't heard about them lol)... I kinda liked it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
