Keth Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 love that little distortion effect Matt had on his mic when they played earlier on Jools Holland show. It was awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mamba Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 And then corrected themselves saying it wasn't... Ah fair enough, I had gotten out of my car having pulled up at home by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolutioner Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Not to spoil the joy of this song for you all or anything but... I think this song might actually be partially about 7/7. I mean "You've arrived at panic station" is the most obvious hint of it, but take a look at some other lines: You won’t get much closer Until you sacrifice it all You won’t get to taste it With your face against the wall Get up and commit Show the power trapped within Do just what you want to Now stand up and begin Then of course there's the chorus: Ooh, 1, 2, 3, 4 fire’s in your eyes And this chaos it defies imagination 5, 6, 7, 8 minus 9 lives You’ve arrived at panic station Fire and chaos... A hint at loss of life... and of course, "panic station." Certainly there's more than one way you can read it, but I think Matt may have been pulling a bit of a Pumped Up Kicks on us here, giving us something really dark with a fun beat and melody and having us obliviously dance around to it.

Oh yeah a nice dancey happy tune about brutal murders EDIT: Didn't read last sentence. Still though, I find it unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiral_static Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Song is still making me laugh, same SMBH did years ago. "Another One Bites to Dust" crossed with the influence that escapes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that's the only interpretation of it, but it might have that double meaning. There are hints of it. What does the phrase "panic station" mean in your reading of it, if anything?

delita Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I really can't understand why you all love this song. Only song on the album that makes me cringe. But I guess I'm glad for you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g00nie9183 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 So, the more I listen to it, goddammit, it's a damn good song. Though it seems they were def influenced by other bands. Best form of flattery I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoogleCyc Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 This song is just amazing! And it reminds me of Hysteria too! And I ecen know why! It's the solo and the drums during the solo! It's really alike. And Matt's is even moving same way while playing it! Panic Station - http://youtu.be/lggXfbpcAlk?t=1m53s Hysteria - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tofu Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Is it weird that I think this is actually one of the most "Muse-sounding" songs on the album? I think so too. Not sure what ti is. Oh my god, I love how Matt pronounces "imagination" and all other "vocal gimmicks" in this song. Imagination was my favorite word, too. Ah, can't stop listening to this. So damn groovy!

What does the phrase "panic station" mean in your reading of it, if anything? Probably about people panicking about all the prices going up and stuff. Maybe a reference to the bonus army?

New Born Lee Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 what do you mean he doesn't say it? Sigh, lyric websites are so fail, I was right the first time. Some places say it's, "When it came to sacrifice imagination", but it is chaos after all, which is far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espionage Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I might be in the minority here, but I'm not loving this song (though it's only my first listen). It's not because it doesn't sound like Muse - it's more that it just sounds like Muse paying homage to other artists. Edited to say: On second listen, I'm liking the song more. I can get past the "funkiness" of it after the first 30 seconds or less to focus on the fact that it's a good catchy tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
