Bumpypotato Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Slow, the full recording is out [YT] [/YT] I only listened to the beginning after Matt's falsetto cos I want it to stay at least a bit fresh, but holy shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Fucking hell, Supremacy sounds absolutely monstrous already! I love the switchup between the heavy parts and the really subtle verses. Matt's voice is on fire at the moment - I've never heard so many good vocal performances from him on one album. So excited now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Srsly, I've got enough jizz for everyone. Jizz all round. But srsly Muse, wtf was up with putting Madness out first? It sounds crap now compared with the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Also, there is a hint of the Glasto '04 CE riff about Supremacy, is there not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Also, there is a hint of the Glasto '04 CE riff about Supremacy, is there not? Even if the band never mentioned the riff I'd say it was inspired by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Also, there is a hint of the Glasto '04 CE riff about Supremacy, is there not? Yep I would have thought Follow Me would have been a better single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Also, there is a hint of the Glasto '04 CE riff about Supremacy, is there not? Yup, way slower but it's kind of there. And heavier. Matt even sang properly the last falsetto of Survival. And Madness' bass was more powerful and the song benefit from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It was awesome. That's all. That is exactly how I feel! New songs are brilliant and were performed perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangeseas Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 But srsly Muse, wtf was up with putting Madness out first? It sounds crap now compared with the good stuff. That was the plan. The good stuff just sounds incredibly amazing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee3Dee Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Okay, so having listened to a few more recordings a couple of times, this is what I'm thinking: Animals, Panic Station, Supremacy and Follow Me were all great. Save Me was very meh. Sounds like that Elbow song I mentioned before. Survival sounded a bit "empty" without the choir, but I think it's just something that we'll get used to. I'm okay with Survival as a closer though. KoC can stay as the main set closer, I don't care. Here's my concern: Matt's vocals. He sounds amazing. But in Madness he switches over to falsetto for the second "I need to/your/whatever love" bit. He also sounded out of breath for most of Survival. He didn't bail on the last note in Resistance, I'm assuming that's because it was early in the set. Still, I'm worried that he'll go back to TR mode where he tries to cut corners on any and all high notes. How are his vocals going to hold up throughout the tour? His falsetto does sound delicious though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff we've heard (which is most of the album at this point) has some pretty intense vocal work, and I'm not sure he'll be able to keep up with it. It would be incredibly disappointing to have him bail on all the good stuff later on in the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty987 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 My god, Supremacy sounds incredible. I love the way he sings "It's surrrrrrpremacyyy". And the little heavy breakdown after he sings it for the second time is insane too. Phwoarrr It actually sounds very Biffy Clyro-ish with the string parts mixed with heavy riffing, much like the ending to That Golden Rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is why the gigs on this upcoming tour are more spaced out than on previous tours - the extra days off should allow his voice some time to rest before launching into a number of songs that, vocally speaking, don't hold back.

Interzone Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Supremacy, Animals, Follow Me and Save Me are all incredible. Especially Supremacy. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
