Dina F.K.K. Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I dont know what is bad about Absolution, except Fury should be on it. SS, B&H, Hysteria, Ruled by Secrecy, TIRO, are my favorite songs of all time. Endlessly probably the most beautiful love song by Muse. SFA piano, Blackout and FAWY lyrics, TOADA riff are beautiful. Apocalyse Please is absolutely great, even Interlude sounds like emphasize the nature of the album.
QubiQ Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Endlessly is easily the most boring song on the album. Don't see how The Small Print or TOADA get so much hate. I like them both To me, TOADA is more than boring, it annoys me to be honest. The yeahyeah part, as mentioned several times in this thread. Absolution is easily my most favourite album, and it got my most favourite song: Stockholm Syndrome. However, the quality of the mastering of the song (especially SS out of the album) sounds bad to me, and I hope they could've worked it out better.
randomparrot Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 However, the quality of the mastering of the song (especially SS out of the album) sounds bad to me, and I hope they could've worked it out better. I get that with TSP
Spectrum IV Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 The song order could use some work, and the heavier tracks are a bit squished. Maybe that's nitpicking slightly, but I don't think there's anything overly bad the album, just small things. Live, I think SFA was the beginning of Matt cheating on the vocals, now he does it regularly. Also, his vocals in SS have always sounded strained to me.
Pwoperness Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 eternally missed wasn't included on the album D:
Lnx Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Screw all ToaDA haters. But, to be honest, I don't like the order of songs on album at all. It's just goes "fast song-slow song-fast-slow" etc. That ruins the flow a bit. Oh, and Fury should definitely be on Abso.
Jetro Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Screw all ToaDA haters. But, to be honest, I don't like the order of songs on album at all. It's just goes "fast song-slow song-fast-slow" etc. That ruins the flow a bit. I've commented on this before, but like I said: If it was split into fast-fast-fast-slow-slow-slow it would get criticism à la Origin. Agree with you on TOADA Oh, and I forgot about Blackout. It's SO boring. Guiding Light is better.* *I said that just because it pisses off the mainstreamers which there are tons of here.
MUSESTL Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Oh, and I forgot about Blackout. It's SO boring. Guiding Light is better.* *I said that just because it pisses off the mainstreamers which there are tons of here. Mainstreamers?

Agree with you on TOADA Oh, and I forgot about Blackout. It's SO boring. Guiding Light is better.* *I said that just because it pisses off the mainstreamers which there are tons of here. So if you hate Guiding Light you're a mainstreamer? I don't even know what you mean by that
MUSESTL Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 So if you hate Guiding Light you're a mainstreamer? I don't even know what you mean by that Exactly what I was thinking. I don't even know what a "mainstreamer" is in this case
Beibi Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Thoughts of a Dying Atheist is the only negative thing I can say about Absolution. Other than that's it's close to perfect. This.
Scott7 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Now that it's negative, here it goes: -The flow of the album is horrible -Thoughts of a Dying Atheist is almost painful to listen to -Endlessly is boring -Apocalypse Please is also boring (ooh, controversial?) -The album version of Stockholm Syndrome does not do it justice at all -Fury should have been on it -It's not really as weird/different as Origin of Symmetry That was fun. Disagree Disagree Disagree Disagree Agree Agree Agree but if every album is the same then it's boring, Thats why I like muse they always try something new.
Jimmyneutron Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Changed the title as the thread is effectively going to be a negativity thread anyway. No it wasn't!
QubiQ Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I get that with TSP Actually same here, and TOADA. But since they are not my favourites, I don't mind that at all.
drawakangaroo Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Disagree Agree but if every album is the same then it's boring, Thats why I like muse they always try something new. Yes, but what I like about Muse is their weirdness in their music. That's why my favorite songs are City of Delusion, Micro Cuts, Screenager, Showbiz, etc. And all three of those songs are very different, so Muse could definitely write odd songs that aren't all the same. And I also like UD and IBTY, which are both very different from anything they've done before, and have that oddness factor in it. Absolution just seems too normal to me for the most part.
kueller Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Oh, a bit more difficult seeing as it's my favourite Muse album. Well I guess the order of songs never works out too well for Muse albums. There were a few problems. Also, I always have some special place for TOADA mainly since it was my first Muse song. If anything, I'd say the production doesn't nearly do any of the songs justice. They all work amazing live (although I do prefer the chest voice scream in Sing for Absolution than the live falsetto he does most of the time).
Sparky_ Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Flows crap. shudda been: 1. Apocalypse Please (intro is part of it) 2. Stockholm Syndrome 3. Time Is Running Out 4. Butterflies & Hurricanes 5. Falling Away With You + Interlude 6. Hysteria 7. Blackout 8. Sing For Absolution 9. Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist 10. Fury 11. The Small Print 12. Ruled By Secrecy That's how I have it and it's sound much better, also note the sneaky swapping of Endlessly for Fury because Endlessly sucks

Also Endlessly is vastly superior to Thoughts of a Dying Atheist
WutDaFucksy Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 They're both far superior and more enjoyable than Falling Away With You.
goti Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 They're both far superior and more enjoyable than Falling Away With You.
Gohenko Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 So...negative things, eh? -Intro and Apocalypse Please should have been one song -TSP, Endlessly, and TOADA are all kinda filler-ish, and they aren't that great songs anyway (although I do enjoy playing TSP and TOADA with my guitar) -Some songs sound much better live -TOADA into RBS is horrible -B&H single version should have been on the album, I don't like the album version that much -Fury should have been on the album - I'm not too keen on having Interlude as a separate song
Farelial Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 So...negative things, eh? -TSP, Endlessly, and TOADA are all kinda filler-ish, and they aren't that great songs anyway (although I do enjoy playing TSP and TOADA with my guitar) I've seriously started to doubt your taste
Gohenko Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I've seriously started to doubt your taste What? I do like those songs, but they aren't as great as the rest of the album.
diamond_writer Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Negative? Hm...The sound quality is sucky on my copy because I burned it from Itunes.
bruce57 Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 literally can't say a single negative thing about Absolution. It is the most perfect album Muse have made and my favorite album of all time.
