HaikuMarko Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I dislike the obvious influences, it took away do much out of their unique sound that the album was rather hard to relieve to be Muse, I do think it's a somewhat well-made and definitely enjoyable album but it is an absolute compilation of styles with "Musey" twists >\\\> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaikuMarko Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Liquid State is about as Musey as any of the others if you ask me If you listen to QOTSA or Foo Fighters you see the influence...again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlodrak Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I guess it comes down to whether you like the bands that they're influenced by, fortunately I'm a fan of Queen, U2, Rage Against The Machine, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Buckley, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer.. did I miss any? But if you're not a fan of their sound then obviously when Muse adopt it you may be put off a bit But I do honestly think that the songs still have that muse twist in the composition, so no I don't think it takes away from the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlodrak Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Re: Liquid State I would never have thought of Foos or QOTSA before people started mentioning it, but maybe that's just me I just think it sounds like a new drum and bass jam but with extra vocals and an extended arrangement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graciegirl Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 There are obvious influences on the album but it still has the Muse stamp and that's fine by me because how many bands these days aren't influenced by past sounds? Let's face it, music is an age old part of life and trends usually go full circle Muse are always experimenting, trying new things and that's pretty much what prog rock music is about - progression I've been educating my boyfriend with my Muse collection and whilst I take something different from every album he commented on how he much prefers their newer stuff. As a musician himself I guess he's listening with a different ear to me. I love how Muse constantly surprise us and that's what makes them stand out from other bands. Why would we want another Stockholm Syndrome, Bliss, Knights of Cydonia etc on newer albums? We have those songs already and you can't improve on perfection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopix Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I still can't hear Foo Fighters in that track Yeah, me neither. I can hear a bit of Foo Fighters-eque vocals in the verses, that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
