Alec Ferris Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Dick. Prick. I'd definitely like some more drawn-out instrumental sections in a few songs- they've tended to be quite brief in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter. Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 longer bridges would be quite preferable, yes. maybe in - god forbid - changing time signatures:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiga Kagekami Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'd definitely like some more drawn-out instrumental sections in a few songs- they've tended to be quite brief in that regard. Agreed. Hearing a band jam for an outro of a song isn't too bad either. Muse have shown their capability of coming up with great jams live, I really don't mind having one on the album so long as it remains an integral part of the whole record.

sade Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The issue for me with extended bridges, intrumental bits is that they often feel ...wankerish, sonically. I'm not too keen on prog, even if I do like the prog-lite thing Muse has going on in certain songs. They are still pop/rock songs at heart, just with some embellishments. Re:completely instrumental songs: I really like IS, and I think it was mostly done right production-wise, but I still see it more as an interlude between the actual songs, rather than a song itself. I guess that is because for me it's easier to connect with the sound of a human voice than just instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Take Oceansize. Many proggy instrumentals in their songs, 0 wanking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Ferris Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Take Oceansize. Many proggy instrumentals in their songs, 0 wanking There are plenty of bands who can pull it off without wankery (OK, maybe the likes of Mastodon don't, but theirs is epic wankery ), I think Muse are entirely capable of it. Plus, I wasn't thinking that every song on an album should be like this. I'm thinking more along the lines of Origin with its epics, or something like Kyuss or Soundgarden's albums. Actually, Blues for the Red Sun is a great example of a band mixing concise, accessible (for its genre) rockers with instrumentals and drawn-out bridges.

Hat Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think muse are more likely to be boring or sappy than they are to be wanky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altbecky Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Just some stuff with extended outros (a la SD and CE) would work just fine I think. Funny you mentioned Oceansize, Fabri. I finally checked them out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You missed the background story. There is no background story, just you out of the blue saying "I'm in Oceansize" There's something in the guitar of Safe Distancing that reminds me of Muse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sade Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Honestly, I haven't listened to any of those bands except maybe in passing so I can't really comment on them. I think muse are more likely to be boring or sappy than they are to be wanky. There are some very wanky moments like end of Survival and US middle section (even if I think the latter is good wanky) but I think in large part Muse have stayed away from the it. It's actually quite surprising that for such an overblown band for some reason they have so far mostly stayed away from that type of excess. Then again Matt named "Best of Queen" as his favourite "prog album" once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would link you an Oceansize song but I think it would be counter-productive tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
