Sirthas Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 fun fact of today, Liquid state is the only muse song beginning with the letter L While there are EIGHTEEN beginning with "S" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howardm93 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 All in all, I would say that this album will be quite a big success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry. Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Follow Me is going to be rather fun live. Sorry to lower the tone, but I jizzed along to Supremacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meep Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 This is so much more fun than BHAR/TR Just seems to be more layers to the music than in the last two albums, it all sounds bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I think Isolated System is Muse's best album closer as well. Would've liked a few more bars of the climax with maybe another instrument added in, but those apocalyptic choirs are perfect. Hmm well Redemption is still up there (though it took me several minutes to remember what it is called ) but yeah, Isolated System is special.

FabriPav Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Big Freeze grew a lot, now it's great Explorers is definitely the weakest. It's too long too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafer Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 fun fact of today, Liquid state is the only muse song beginning with the letter L Matt's always felt uncomfortable singing about the "L" word right? Bit irrational to extrapolate to all L words if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Big Freeze grew a lot, now it's great Explorers is definitely the weakest. It's too long too Explorers is good. I skipped Big Freeze on another album listen-thru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter. Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Explorers is beautiful. Among my favorites on the album. Madness is the weakest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Really liking what I'm hearing, definitely better (overall) than TR, in my opinion! My favorites (after the first listen) are Supremacy, Animals, Big Freeze, and Liquid State. But much as I'm loving the album, I couldn't help but notice how demanding Muse is getting with these new songs! "Save Me", "Follow Me", Madness tells us to "come to me" and "rescue me", Explorers asks "free me", Big Freeze says "heal me" and "feel me"... All they think of is themselves!

Clunge Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I'm gonna say it - the chorus of Big Freeze when the guitar comes in makes me think of Call Me Maybe. Sorry . (love it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call Me Maybe is a nice pop song. And she is so goddamn cute <3 The beginning of the Big Freeze solo is quite similar to the Madness one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altbecky Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 even though I prefer the darker lyrics and massive riffs, I have to say it's nice having someone around with comon sense Oh well that was just nice!

Meep Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Explorers is beautiful. Among my favorites on the album. Madness is the weakest... Yeah, I quite like madness as a standalone song but the weak beginning to the song really stands out when you listen to supremacy first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopar4t4 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 finally listened to all the songs 2x in the album order on repeat all. I like it, I love the songs where Chris sings, deffinitely different. There is one song that reminds me of the Red Hot Chili Peppers cover of Higher Ground for some reason, maybe its the guitar settings. Overall its a decent album but not my fav. There are some really good tracks, and some not so good tracks. Will deffinitely be getting the album (of course that's without saying) and the DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lehrer Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Right party SHITER, but all this raving is making me Unsustainable Prelude Survival Madness Panic Station Big Freeze Follow Me Explorers Save Me Animals Liquid State Supremacy Isolated System it works so much better for me, actually has some flow to it Same here. I didn't really enjoy the album until I used this tracklist ... Why, Muse, WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Definitely straight in as my third favourite Muse album, after OoS and Absolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper_chondriac_muser Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 WARNING: Ramble ahead: I've always said it: I wanted OoS 2. Not an exact replica of the album, but pretty much its part two simply because I adore the shit out of that album. T2L isn't it, and there never will be an OoS 2, but this is as close as they'll ever get to it, which is probably why I love it as much as I do right now. It takes subtle elements from the best bits of OoS (and the OoS era) and BH&R - which, at its finest, had some of their best work on it. -Supremacy has hints of New Born, Shrinking Universe and Take a Bow with its epic, OTT insanity mixed with fatality falsettos; -Animals has that Latin influence like City of Delusion and Hoodoo, but also harks back to Darkshines and the softness of Screenager or Shine Acoustic; -Panic Station is the funky brother of Supermassive; -Big Freeze is even a bit close to Nature_1 with its guitar tones (if Nature_1 had been reworked by Michael Jackson). -Liquid State is Assassin done right! There are a lot of comparative points to draw to some of their best songs: when Muse was simply sublime. I'm sure there are more than I've forgotten, but all I know is while listening to it, every so often a track would remind me of an 'early days' song. I couldn't make that claim about The Resistance, or only fleetingly. Unnatural Selection was similar in form to Citizen, but it was its weaker equivalent. You could say why should they draw influences from their past music, but THIS album is exactly why! Because on some of these tracks it's like they've remoulded their former musical selves towards a different, exciting direction; they're experimenting with their former experimentation, if that makes any sense. I'm gonna stop rambling now and listen to it all over again! /end ramble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Matt's voice at the beginning of Follow Me reminds me of something like The Grinch. You hear the babies heart beat, and then there's creepy music and a frightening voice. "what would you like for Christmas little boys and girls?"

Ry. Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Prelude into Survival is fantastic. Sounds so much better and crisper now. Still think they should be merged to make one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
