Boz Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 The album gets boring once Microcuts ends. Could not agree more. Darkshines IMO is one of Muse's weakest songs but the second half is rescued at the end by Megalomania which is one of Muse's best. And it's overrated by most Muse fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's overrated by most Muse fans i STRONGLY disagree. to myself, Plug In Baby hasn't been interesting for me in a while. whereas i re-discovered the brilliance in Dark Shines a few weeks back. that bass line in the chorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Rabbit Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 My only complaint is that it feels too short, even though it has some of the band's longest songs. How anybody could find anything negative to say about this album bothers me. In my opinion, it's the closest to Prog rock Muse has ever (and likely will ever) get. Although, I do find myself in agreement with those who say "Dead Star", "In Your World" and "Futurism" should've been part of the album. I think the track listing should've been: New Born Dead Star In Your World Bliss Space Dementia Hyper Music Plug In Baby Citizen Erased Micro Cuts Screenager Darkshines Feeling Good Futurism Megalomania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lnx Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Uhm, the CD design is pretty awful, maybe... Yes, I like Feeling Good (on an album). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 To those who dislike Screenager Iuno really what to say that's negative...the artwork is fucking cool, it's the perfect length for an album for me...I don't mind Feeling Good being there? I don't really think Dead Star and In Your World would've fit on it too well (awaits LOLWUT FEELING GOOD BUT NO DEAD STAR?!!>!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QubiQ Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm sorry but was it possible for Dead Star to be included in OoS? Wasn't it written and recorded after the release of the album, or the incident? (or I'm missing the point.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it written and recorded after the release of the album, or the incident? (or I'm missing the point.) IIRC it was first performed live around September-ish 2001 (a bit before Hullabaloo was recorded) as it was written around the time of 9/11. Wasn't recorded until 2002, so no it couldn't have actually been on OoS, but it's from the same era. I think Dead Star could fit on, but not with the studio version that we ended up getting, guitar tones and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeSides Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 i'm tired of new born being played at 98.9% gigs and feeling good...well yeah...loads said about that. otherwise this album is an amazing collection of different musical expressions. i'm so absolutely gutted my reading/leeds plans fell through. i feel like all my muse gigs charted me chasing after songs i might never hear played live now. i still haven't experienced a live performance of bliss or citizen not to mention my utter and complete love for screenager and darkshines. and now my chance might never come again. muse making me cry. dammit.

I don't really think Dead Star and In Your World would've fit on it too well (awaits LOLWUT FEELING GOOD BUT NO DEAD STAR?!!>!) agree...screenager is hauntingly beautiful. Muse at their weirdest, yet most creative and emotional i think. it's a necessary break after hyper music, plug in baby, citizen erased, and micro cuts. I think if there were backing vocals then it would be out of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*OoS* Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Feeling Good. Could've slipped in a cover of Lloyd-Webber's The Phantom of the Opera instead, would've suited Megalomania perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurellama Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 the other albums are great too. They really aren't. I think the track listing should've been: New Born Dead Star In Your World Bliss Space Dementia Hyper Music Plug In Baby Citizen Erased Micro Cuts Screenager Darkshines Feeling Good Futurism Megalomania Why the fuck would you elongate a 52 minute album?

Spectrum IV Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 agree...screenager is hauntingly beautiful. Yes! Screenager is gorgeous. Darkshines is also very underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova14 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I love Screenager. I don't get why people don't love it. I love it as well. I like Feeling Good also but it doesn't fit the album at all. Other than that, I think everything else is fine, it's still my second favorite album of theirs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi. Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Screenager is fantastic. I love the live versions of Bliss,but album wise,it's boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey0603 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I would listen till Micro Cuts and skip all the way to Megalomania. Screenager is the only Muse album song which i hate. That song just doesn't make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uccellino Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yeah, I always liked Darkshines, especially the dischordant piano in the pre-chorus. As for those who dislike Hyper Music, what the fuck? I mean, it is basically a stolen riff with vocals over the top, but it's so much fun. Someone mentioned OoS being thematically strong and I agree, that's what makes it one of Muse's best albums. I love the piano in Darkshines too, don't know if we'll get that in the live version though:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFan9876 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I have to agree about Feeling Good. I like the song, it just doesn't fit on the album. It should have been a b-side or a standalone a-side like Dead Star/In Your World. This. But that isn't why it's my least favourite album. That's right. But that's just my opinoin. Objective negative things I could say would be: it doesn't really have any relativity to it at all. Also I feel there's a bit of a lack of variety in the album.

drawakangaroo Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Also I feel there's a bit of a lack of variety in the album. This, exactly. I love Origin and all, but this is the reason it falls behind BHaR in terms of my favorite album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sventington Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 can't staaand black holes and revelations. I was so excited after Origin and Absolution to see what would come next as at the time Muse were by far my favourite band, only to be greeted by a big audio turd which shattered all future expectations of mine for the band.
