Hat Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It'd defeat the purpose of them challenging the 'laptop' if they'd made it electronic They could be ironic and play it electronically live huh? I never said they should have made it electronic, I'm saying it LOSES against the same music done electronically. As you say,k they challenged it. And they obviously lost.

hyper_chondriac_muser Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Holy crap! Someone who's been a fan since at least 2004 actually likes a new Muse album? Here's hoping that too. Clunge isn't your average 2004-era boardie ... he has a lot of positive things to say I, however, may be the only one of a similar era that still spaffs like a n00bie fan girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_of_cydonia Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 "Stand up and deliver Your wildest fantasy. Do what the fuck you want to There’s no one to appease" These are my favourite lyrics from the album so far because I'm sure they're talking about themselves This album is a wild fantasy indeed.

Gigapoodle Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 The problem I'm having in judging this album is that it's the first new album I've heard from Muse technically. Since I got into them like a week after TR came out, I had the ability to cram all of those albums into my head at once and compare them to each other. T2L doesn't have that luxury to me. I'm thinking it's gonna be in the 3rd-4th range, but i feel like it needs more time to sit with me. It has way higher highs, higher lows, and less frequent lows than TR I think. Though, it is certainly not flawless by ANY means. The album does have a surprisingly cohesive atmosphere though, which surprises me. Not bad.

FabriPav Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I don't consider it a dub step song so the poor drops don't bother me. I still don't see the whole 'underwhelming' thing. It doesn't sound like it's lacking to me. The strings bit is huge, so I can get that between the two that part is much bigger, better etc, but the dub-steppy drops don't drag it down, imo. It's underwhelming because it could have been so much bigger. My problem is especially with the second drop, it really ruins the song. I appreciate the fact that mixing orchestra with guitar-played brostep is something basically no one (that I am aware of) has ever done and I love them for trying it, but it should have been done better. That being said, I still love the track until 3:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In context of the other songs, I think they might mean that negatively. Individualist society and all that. (though I don't know the rest of the song lyrics). Perhaps they mean it in both a positive and negative sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 He was just pissing about Yeah I know. Oh I think I know what the first part of Follow Me reminds me of now. It reminds me of feeling faint. How it all goes dark, voices are distorted or distant, and you feel woozy and slightly nauseous. If that is what it is meant to signify, pretty clever stuff. But maybe a bit too clever because the memories it creates do feel a little too real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Museic Syndrome Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I have a problem. I find Big Freeze physically painful to listen to. I even managed to survive Survival (no pun intended) but this one absolutely wrecks my brain neurons. The backing vocals sound like sung by Pussycat Dolls or fucking Scissor Sisters!

Gareeh Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It ISN'T a bad record. I can't let people get away with saying that, but in my opinion it's not anywhere near the standard they could be at. It's one that you could remove a few songs, shuffle and the order wouldn't matter one bit. Although I don't hate the Isolated System samples I think a pure instrumental with no vocals of any kind would have been nice, especially if they did something experimental with it live.
