iancurtis Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Not sure if there is a thread for the upcoming reviews in the media. Didn´t found one, if there is, please move it in to this section. However,i found a few reviews of blogs & webzines. Some of them are in german, others in english. No Major Media included yet. http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/52047/Muse-The-2nd-Law/ http://rkukmedia.co.uk/2012/09/24/muse-the-2nd-law-album-review/ http://www.yuppee.com/2012/09/24/album-review-muse-the-2nd-law/ http://skirmag.com/2012/09/album-review-muse-the-2nd-law/ http://ilikethesoundofit.wordpress.com/2012/09/24/review-muse-the-2nd-law/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The Muse in the Media section is the correct area for this thread. Thanks for gathering those reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The sputnik album review was pretty poorly written. Even if you don't like the music it should be obvious that Matt is singing in tune. Seems more like he just dislikes Muse and isn't coming to it from an impartial angle. Despite the pitchforks of the world (have they actually done a review yet?), it looks like the album has been mostly well received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you expect? They don't like the Muse's style / change of style and their Mainstream success. That results in very obvious trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimal Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I must say all these reviews are bloody horrible. Comparisons left and right, I know Muse might sound like Queen or U2 at times, but it gets annoying when the authors make comparisons of every track.

Comparisons left and right, I know Muse might sound like Queen or U2 at times, but it gets annoying when the authors make comparisons of every track. To be fair, the influences on this album aren't subtle. Not even a little bit. Some bits/songs are just straightup ripoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancurtis Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I must say all these reviews are bloody horrible. Comparisons left and right, I know Muse might sound like Queen or U2 at times, but it gets annoying when the authors make comparisons of every track. i think "big freeze" sound better than any U2 song of the last two albums. but it is still a rip off from matts vocals to the guitarr riff from the edge. so there is a difference if you get influenced by a band or you rip off their trademark sound.

Comparisons left and right, I know Muse might sound like Queen or U2 at times, but it gets annoying when the authors make comparisons of every track. exactly. panic station for example sounds nothing like queen, but because queen were also influenced briefly by funk music, muse "ripped off" another one bites the dust. ridiculous. the queen vibe can be found only in survival and perhaps explorers imo. (madness has similarities in the melody but the sound/orchestration/production is totally un-queen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoma-kun Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 http://thequietus.com/articles/10146-muse-the-2nd-law-review Hilarious read, and he do nail some good points there, but I don't agree fully with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 http://thequietus.com/articles/10146-muse-the-2nd-law-review I like the record and I'm already aware this website hates Muse, but I still chuckled a bit in the reading of this.

Niall Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hopefully we get some proper reviews soon. Guess it'll wait until after the album is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
