HomesickSubterranean Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 It's a bit premature, yes, but I think we all have our own ideas of what Muse should sound like 3/4 years down the road. Personally, I'm just hoping they grow tired of Queen and U2. I can't imagine them doing those kind of songs in 2015. That would mean it would have been almost 10 years of those kind of songs (since BHaR). One of the best songs off The 2nd Law in my opinion is Animals, and I honestly think they could listen to Radiohead again. You may disagree with me, but the Radiohead/Jeff Buckley/Rage Against The Machine was miles better than the new stuff imo, as much as I love it all. Songs like Panic Station and Follow Me are good fun, but their darker stuff (Ruled By Secrecy, Citizen Erased, etc.) has so much more emotion to it. I'm not much of a writer but you get the idea.
Jobby Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Wouldn't mind: - Another electronic/dance song like Follow Me - Something like Nishe, with or without vocals - Industrial (Chris on vocals, maybe with Matt doing the odd falsetto)
FabriPav Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 If there actually is one :'( There's nothing that makes me think there won't be one at the moment
Chryse Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 A more NIN/Pure Reason Revolution type direction please.
Chryse Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Every single one, everywhere Let's not get crazy now...
Corona Radiata Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 I'd like to see them make an album where they really give it their all in terms of technique and playing ability. I want to see them push themselves to a new level.
HomesickSubterranean Posted September 30, 2012 Author Posted September 30, 2012 I'd like to see them make an album where they really give it their all in terms of technique and playing ability. I want to see them push themselves to a new level. The Beatles really hit their stride when they stopped touring and stayed in the studio. Obviously Muse would never stop touring as the concerts are just as big as the albums if not bigger, but I'd also really like to hear what they'd come out with if they stayed in the studio. Also, if they dabbled in more electronica like Isolated System I'd be very happy. I mean Follow Me is a great song, but IS really showed what they can do with electronics. Kinda like Take A Bow, but even further.
musekiddo Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 They just really need to take a break after this tour, maybe let Matt do some side projects for a while if he wants. Then they should come back and write a cohesive/flowing album without all the blindingly obvious influences (U2, Queen). Have influences by all means, but my problem with the T2L is that it just sounds like a collection of individual songs/mix tape with a vague lyrical theme being the only connection.

Honestly, I think Muse may go on a break or something. Didn't they say they already fulfilled their album contract with The 2nd Law? I can see a hiatus soon...even though I don't want one
Puput Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Agree! Songs with Radiohead and RATM influences are just dope. And yes, they should stop taking influence from Queen and U2 on their song, because I don't really like songs based on those bands. I want heavier stuff, which makes Muse sound like some badass rock band. I wanna see them getting deeper into heavy riffage, with some arpeggios, funk, and rachmaninoff-esque piano works. Or anything on piano that's tedious(Sunburn,B&H solo)
Bells Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 I'd like to see/hear more tragic and obscure Muse in the future. And before you people start bullying me with the OoS bullshit, I could give some Absolution and BH&R examples to ellaborate on it.
Minimal Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 I'd want them to take the album in a more Supremacy and Animals direction, but then I remember that that's where they came from.
Peter. Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 jeez, already an LP7 thread? anyway, the only thing I miss is real heaviness. And I want my hammering piano back, too:'( edit: inb4 anynone goes "survival and supremacy aren't heavy enough for you" no they aren't. when I say heavy, I mean dead star/micro cuts.
Hat Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 I'd be surprised if Muse took ANY direction for their next album. Doing everything at once seems to be the only theme their latter albums will ever have in common.
FabriPav Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 edit: inb4 anynone goes "survival and supremacy aren't heavy enough for you" no they aren't. when I say heavy, I mean dead star/micro cuts. I have the perfect solution for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juz2jgfBgyc
Bumpypotato Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 As Simon said, I doubt they'll even pick a direction. I really hope they do though, because whilst this album against all the odds worked, I wouldn't want to see another mix tape.

Pretty much what you said. However, I would like it if they went more prog as well. I loved the classical influences on The Resistance and also would like to see more songs in the vein of Hoodoo. Tracks resembling Space Dementia would also be great.

Raiga Kagekami Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 In terms of lyrics, I hope to see more diversion rather than just concentrating mostly on recent political/economic issues and the apocalypse. They've touched upon more personal matters this time around and I feel that's great. Not exactly sure what they should write about though.
albasuna Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I would like Muse to write a rock album for their LP7.
ArtsyChick Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I vote for rock. Crunchy guitar, overpowering bass, speedtastic drums, and lots of screaming.
