Travis III Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Flow does matter to me to some extent, but IMO an album doesn't need to be musically cohesive to flow well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitton Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 It's always good when an album flows, but I like the idea of an album where every song is drastically different and every song takes you on a different musical path Goodnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bells Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 When people say dreamy i think of This Will Destroy You and, to me, it wasn't really a coincidence that youtube automatically directed me to an Explosions In The Sky song after Animals was finished.

Tesseract Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Guitar tone in Animals, especially the beginning, is very Gilmour-esque to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitar in Save Me sounds a bit post-rock as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cllelf Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 So, that radio stream, is it fake or real? And do we get all the songs at the same time, or do we only get like one or two every day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannahG123 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Really really excited for explorers And for the studio version of supremacy especially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfellow Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 i'm still not getting my hopes up for a radio stream until it actually happens. Pretty sure i remember the exact same thing was supposed to happen for TR and it never did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Rabbit Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Perhaps playing Origin in full did have a positive effect on them and reminded them that by experiment wholeheartedly, they can do great things. This is what I'm thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark_ Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Flow does matter to me to some extent, but IMO an album doesn't need to be musically cohesive to flow well. Musical cohesiveness - in that tracks sound musically linked - isn't important. Thematic flow, though, is hugely important. An album in which song complements each other, thematically, gains so much more from that than being just a collection of random songs thrown together.

Riveon Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I thought it was supposed to be the heaviest/rockiest track on the album. Survival gets reasonably heavy in the guitar section so I look forward to this. Perhaps they're actually rehearsing properly these days, not like the farce at the start of the last tour where they sacrificed rehearsals to support U-fucking-2. Yep, they rehearsed the whole setlist on the day. Survival really benefits from the loss of choir, live. And the ending is beefy It's a lot heavier than most TR material; I'm actually really looking forward to seeing it. When it first came out I thought it would be a waste of space.

That Little Animal Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I tend to listen to albums in order, especially the first few listens. But with Muse being the only band I actually follow this closely, I end up overplaying the songs that are released before the album up to a point where I've heard enough once the album comes out. I'll be skipping Madness and Survival from the start. I even skipped Stockholm Syndrome for a long time, so it doesn't necessarily reflect on the quality of the song.

HannahG123 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I find it funny that people (myself included) are now typing, writing, singing what they think are the lyrics to these new songs and are all different to each other because none of us really have a clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirthas Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I hope tomorrow we'll get some kind of streaming of the whole album like this italian radio station did for the new Skunk Anansie's one. They play it on air throughout the days and you also have it in full online. http://www.virginradioitaly.it/top/magazine/speciali/anteprima-skunk-anansie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

static shadows Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Finally got around to listening to all of the live tracks (after a couple of busy days): Supremacy - Awesome riff. Like the verse. Really like the end bits. Sounds like it could be a pretty awesome track. Madness - First it's dull, then it's U2. Urgh. Really no better live than on record. Panic Station - Makes me think of Led Zeppelin's Trampled Underfoot! In a good way. Plus, it has an awesome riff guitar near the end. And the Hysteria solo. Which is odd, but it fits. Just wish those Justin Hawkins sounding screams weren't there. Overall, it's a little strange, but promising! And there's most definitely a very Muse sound there. Animals - Love the 5/4 and flamenco flourishes, while the blasts of distortion and yet another awesome riff make it feel that it eventually goes somewhere. Perhaps meanders aimlessly/repetitively at points, but another promising one! Save Me - I love Chris' vocals, and can see the Beatles influence! Found it very affecting in parts, but a little dull and over-long in others. I want to hear the album version a couple of times before making an actual judgement on it. Which is true for the others too, but especially true for this one. Follow Me - Sounded painful in description, sounds potentially OK from the live version! This album is potentially shaping up to be far better than I expected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
