Stewez26 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/features/33779/The-Most-Overrated-Albums-Of-All-Time?page=2 Few things are more frustrating to a music fan than the sell-out record selling a fuckload of records. Muse – once merely faintly ridiculous purveyors of awesome riffage and vague undergraduate nihilism – started their slide into the U2/Killers quicksand of generically uplifting arena rock with this record. There’s actually some great pop songs in the front half, and genre experiments that predate the band’s two-album sense of humour deficiency. ‘Map of the Problematique’ is a crazy fun industrial underground Kraut-rave nightmare, and ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ and ‘Starlight’ are lightweight but flawlessly constructed pop. But the second half is loaded with doomy bullshit like the shameless System of A Down rip ‘City of Delusion’ (featuring a didgeridoo!) and the turgid anthem-for-nothing ‘Knights of Cydonia’ – the longest Hottest 100 #1 ever (and the dumbest, for all of a year). The newest Muse track, ‘Madness’, revisits the best of their witty pop side – it’d be nice if they stopped trying to start a revolution. – Caitlin Welsh They usually like Muse so this is interesting EDIT: I thought this was a new article but turns out they just reposted it to their Facebook page anyhow.

JessicaSarahS Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Of course Matt invested in this! Matt Bellamy, the lead singer of the British band Muse—whose most recent album was entitled Drones—is also, it turns out, one of the company’s first investors. There’s now a drone racing league that feels like pod racing from Star Wars *And NME picked up the story too: http://www.nme.com/news/muse/91034 Edited January 27, 2016 by JessicaSarahS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 League of Ireland team Cabinteely confirm unusual friendly against Muse and their crew: http://metro.co.uk/2016/03/24/league-of-ireland-cabinteely-confirm-friendly-against-muse-and-their-crew-5773859/ Cabinteely, the League of Ireland team from County Dublin, have announced plans for a friendly match against rock band Muse on April 4th. Currently third in the league having won, lost and drawn their opening three games of the season, Cabinteely have decide a run out against Glastonbury headliners Muse is exactly what they need to get into full swing of a new season. Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, Dominic Howard and their crew will take on a Cabinteely XI at their 1,620 capacity stadium, Stradbrook Road. ‘Lining out for Cabo will be current manager Eddie Gormley, Muse bassist Chris Wolstenholme’s son Alfie, who is a former player of the club, and many more to be announced,’ the club said. ‘Managing the Cabo XI will be Tony Livingstone, who was Alfie’s manager when he played with the club. It will be free admission to this game. We would like to thank Muse for taking time out of their schedule for this event, we hope to see you all there!’ Little thing for any Irish Musers with a free evening the night before the 3 Arena gig.

serpentsatellite Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Confusingly worded, but I'm assuming Matt's not playing. Otherwise, god help the fans the night of the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Aye the papers seem certain the band will, when I'm presuming it'll be Chris and various members of the road crew. Pretty sure Chris once said Dom's legs are too skinny to play football anyway.

forevermusic Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Matt did an interview with Nick Grimshaw this morning and apparently suggested Adele could help calm her nerves of headlining Glastonbury by joining them for a song. Could be interesting. I like the quote he texted Chris Martin when the poster was unveiled with Muse above Coldplay going "Keep trying and you'll top the poster someday."

serpentsatellite Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The trained hawks being used to take out "toy" drones is a real thing. I was really pissed off when I read it, since they're doing nothing to protect the birds from harm from the props, and just assuming they'll be okay. Fine against plastic, but a good carbon fiber blade will do real damage to the poor birds. The AI breeding babies is true as well, I suppose, if you really think about it.
