Hopix Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I don't see anything ugly about the words. Why do you think the words are ugly? They're better than "fuse Helium 3" in any case. Oh I love Matt. But he uses it in a beautiful way. It fits in with the lyrics and melody of the vocals. Gas just doesn't have nice connotations to it, in general. I think that's a matter of immaturity tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 But he uses it in a beautiful way. It fits in with the lyrics and melody of the vocals. This is true. I suppose it is possible that Matt might feel emotional about Helium 3. But I think it was just a political statement tbh. An attempt to get people talking about it. I think that's a matter of immaturity tbh. I don't think even Matt would sing about stomach gasses. Though Tom did mention profanity in the live visuals. Didn't they light their own farts on camera once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uccellino Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I think that's a matter of immaturity tbh. I disagree. The word 'gas' just doesn't sound good in a song, just as 'puddles of petrol' wouldn't sound good, for example. I don't usually pay any attention to lyrics, I prefer the overall sound of the song, but I can't ignore the gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverMuse603 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Wasn't there a scene in Nutty Professor 2 involving stellar clouds of gas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm glad it's not just me! I think the lyrics are bordering on Spinal Tap for silly and I can imagine them having blasts of liquid nitrogen on stage when they sing it live! Matt might have been inspired after collapsing from one of Dom's 'stellar clouds of gas' after a dodgy curry Yes. I find the wording in this song to be awkward as well.

Furygirl Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Don't tell that Dore person, she already knows I found myself singing along to Madness the other day! Who are you, and what have you done with Pip?! The first time I heard Big Freeze I honestly was laughing the entire way through the song. Which never happens to me. This is what I did when I first heard it: But then I got over it. Space farts. Song will never be the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaking Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 This is what I did when I first heard it: When the choir came in on "healed" I was just laughing so hard I could barely hear the song for the next minute. If you take the song for what it is, don't take it too seriously (at all) and just have a laugh with it, it can be enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter. Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I feel the same for this song as for In Your World. one part is quite laughable and the other is easily one of my favorite Muse moments. in Big freeze, the verses are just funny, and I feel like I want to shoot the background voices. but then the chorus comes in and I'm like:eek: the song is half comedy, half masterpiece.

Keth Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 At around 3:46 of the song during the solo, that little sound in the back makes me feel like someone messaged me on skype and I end up checking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gohenko Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Still can't get into this song. I don't even hate U2 (pretty much the opposite, actually) or the fact that Muse ripped them off, this track is just ultimately quite boring. Would be a lot more listenable if I just removed the first 30 seconds or so, but even still it would be a boring track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with poppy or mainstream tracks, in fact most of the music I listen to could easily be considered poppy and/or mainstream.

My problem is that I find it boring. Nothing else. And I usually can't stand the first 30 seconds or so. But who knows, maybe it can still grow on me at some point. Many songs that I now really like I have once hated, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
