Saint Rockwell Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 FINALLY!!! I remember what the solo reminds me of. Empty Walls by Serj Tankian The only logical explanation is that Serj must've discovered a time machine, travelled to a future in which the album had already been released and lifted it, bringing the knowledge back in time with him so that he could record that song...like I said, the only logical explanation.

Citizen_Eraser Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 FINALLY!!! I remember what the solo reminds me of. Empty Walls by Serj Tankian What part of that song? I found nothing that sounded like Animals. Maybe you were talking about the riff at the beginning but as someone who plays guitar just no. Its not even notes in the same pattern or timing. Not to mention not even similar notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the fast singing pre-chorus part a bit similar to the Animals solo. Not much, but I can see why someone would find a similarity. Actually, hearing it again, I'm seeing it even more.

Absolutioner Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I gotta say, I'm a little surprised by some of the reactions to the lyrics here. I personally love how venomous Matt allowed himself to become in this song. It's not the first time his lyrics have called for violence (e.g. Unnatural Selection, Assassin), and why shouldn't he be allowed to put certain thoughts or emotions into a song? At the end of the day, these songs are all artistic expressions, not actual representations of his real-life beliefs to be taken literally. If you disagreed with his politics, then that's a different matter, but the "kill yourself" lyric shouldn't be called out on being too violent or disregarding the value human life or whatever. Well, not unless we're going to stop listening to Apocalypse Please because we can't support actually calling for the end of the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I have absolutely no problem with the lyrics. These corporations and wall street investment bankers have profited from the rape and pillaging of countries, taking away people's homes, their belongings and gambling everyone's money and giving so little back. If there's anyone that deserves to be told to kill themselves, it's them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if no one else play guitar? Yeah ok buddy. I respect your opinion that you don't agree, but I myself play guitar and believe it sounds a bit similar. Anyways...honestly didn't care too much for this song at first, but now, WOW! Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, yes that "I play guitar" response is bullshit, but more importantly, even though it's not strong I can see why someone would find similarities.

Indyjones445 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 How does this sound at all like Radiohead? The production sounds very Radiohead like if you ask me. It 's very HTTT and In Rainbows like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's anyone that deserves to be told to kill themselves, it's them. Love the song. I only take offense to the lyrics with it coming from Bellamy (net worth $12 million). Not to mention he is with Kate Hudson ($38 million). Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiga Kagekami Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 How does this sound at all like Radiohead? I don't get the comparisons as well. Some people mention Dollars & Cents but nahh. Of course in terms of the notes itself I have no idea. If anything I still think it's highly reminiscent of Muse even without Matt's voice.

DifferentPerson Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I don't get the comparisons as well. Some people mention Dollars & Cents but nahh.

(Side-note : I'm not a big fan of both tracks. ) But yeah ultimately it still sounds Muse-y to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travisx2112 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 In my opinion, it sounds like something that could easily be on OK Computer One of my new all time fave Muse tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The drum beat and some of the guitar work gave me a Paranoid Android vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with Matt being wealthy, whether I enjoyed the album or not, he works hard in terms of touring and writing and releasing music and he certainly deserves his fortune...

Not giving a shit about anyone as long as you can make your millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
