MUSESTL Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I can always put on The Resistance and enjoy it. The other albums I have to be in the mood for
FearAndPanic Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I can always put on The Resistance and enjoy it. The other albums I have to be in the mood for I'm completely the opposite. Guiding Light's solo and subsequent vocals are lovely.
Spittle Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 It has some good ideas, but, for me, it's their worst album.
MattGuitar Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 The album in general was good, but not the best. Muse did what they've been doing all along and been experimenting with different types of ways of playing, keeping it new and such. Uprising- catchy song with a good beat. famous for being the "prank" song on that Italian show Resistance- read 1984 in High School and is a great nostalgic one for me. Really like the Chorus. Undisclosed Desires- really interesting beat, really sets the mood USOE: epic sounding instrumental right after the intro Guiding Light: Cool solo Unnatural Selection: cool ending MKUltra: the guitar effect was tight, the main riff is pretty cool I Belong To You: Another upbeat song. Very interesting to have seen Matt put in some French into the song, made it interesting. Exogenesis Symph: BEST part of the CD. Matt composed and created a beautiful three part instrumental. I applaud Matt for going out and composing these three great parts, hopefully he'll have more inspiration to create such masterpieces.
musse Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Love Uprising, Resistance, MK Ultra, and the full Symphony I have lots of fun each time I watch the making of dvd Saw them 3 times during the tour, and each of them was different, but special
TheVictorious42 Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Uprising = KICKASS!! <3 Resistance = Awesomeness Undisclosed Desires = Different, but good USOE = One of the album's best songs, next to Uprising Guiding Light = The drums are amazing, especially the beginning US = I just love this song, I can't even discribe it MK Ultra = Badass beginning IBTY = the Exogenesis Symphonies: Beautiful instrumenal parts,
WutDaFucksy Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 The drums are amazing. Now I've read it all on here... MK Ultra is where they should go next album, great sound.
OpenMinded Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 The drums are amazing. Now I've read it all on here... MK Ultra is where they should go next album, great sound. +1 MK would be a good direction.
Bs Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 If you reverse the Uprising solo riff, you get the Micro Cuts outro riff... That's got to be a positive thing, right?
ShipOfFools Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 It's poppy and proggy at the same time. That's definitely a good thing! Best of both worlds.
endlessly_blissed Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I don't listen to TR very often, but whenever I do I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy it. Nice avatar Both of your avatars make me very happy. Edit: Also, I personally love the entirety of TR, even though my favorite album is Absolution.
JaHawk2009 Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 All the tracks segue and are mixed together very nicely. It isn't even that bad of an album either.
Doris Ammann Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I do love the album, the main theme (1984 - I also love the book) and the entirety of it! "Uprising" is such a powerful song, it makes me jump around and scream out the lyrics. "Resistance" is a great song with romantic lyrics, that love can conquer all... "Undisclosed Desires" is different but very good. The lyrics of "United States of Eurasia" are brilliant and I really love the "oriental touch", Matt's piano playing and at the end the childern-laughing mixed with "evil-jetfighter-noise" give me chills! "Guiding Light" means a lot to me, because I've lost "my guiding light" a few years ago, so it really touches me deep inside... "Unnatural Selection" rocks and I especially love the slower "bluesy" part of it! "MK Ultra" and "I belong to you" are great songs as well. But the masterpiece of the album is "Exogenesis 1-3", imo it shows that Matt is a real genius!!! (of course Dom and Chris are amazing too!!!) The music is so beautiful and I adore the lyrics... I'm sorry, but I can't really describe my very deep feelings for MUSE and ALL of their songs, because I'm Swiss and my English isn't that well, I'm still learning...
Hana-li Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I love all the singles and think it's a great progression and growth in their musical style overall!
Crackpot_Raptor Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I like Uprising, Resistance, USoE, Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra, and Exogenesis.
Mizutsu Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I love the whole album a lot. it created a style of music that muse had not yet made. songs like Resistance are genius because it's a damn good song with a whole lot of meaning behind it, but it also appeals to the crowds and fans. exogenesis is the best thing muse have ever done. Matt Bellamy is at his musical peak in this album. he wrote a full symphony and displays his piano mastery. he beautifully introduced Chopin to end the masterpiece USoE and incorporated an operatic piece in a poppy french tune. yet also he played metallic riffs of MK ultra and Unnatural Selection and electronic beats of Undisclosed Desires. Chris Wolstenholme has some of his best bass playing and haunting vocals. his driving bass in Uprising and MK ultra to his weird distorted playing in USoE and slap bass in Undisclosed. His voice is just beautiful in Resistance, USoE, Unnatural Selection and Exogenesis. Dom Howard brings back his insane drumming for a fifth album, with Assassin-like fills during Exogenesis, auxiliary filled I Belong To You, technically brilliant USoE, and holding together Resistance with his complicated drumming. they can only get better from here!
Bs Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Technically, as musicians, all three guys are better than they've ever been, and that combined with ever better equipment, and excellent mastering of the album mean that I think the *sound* of this album is the best of all their work so far. It's so clear. There's some great moments on it too, with hints of classical stuff thrown in, although perhaps not as much as Absolution, despite the symphony...great vocals on Redemption and a few others too, etc..
haarpuna Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 MK Ultra, Resistance and the symphony are really good. The rest is mostly forgettable.
dontask Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 It could have been an insanely good album with a handful of changes, just like BHAR.
spark_ Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Pretty easy, as the last half of the album is ace.
