maricoffy Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'm excited now How come we don't see much of Chris these days? He isn't in photos and interviews as much as Dom and Matt lately actually he's learning to fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 That must mean the band is going in a Foo Fighters style direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom//P Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 According to Mr Mick Fleetwood that place has the best sounding drum room.... Looking at the pictures it looks like a pretty gloomy place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdrunner95 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I want some badass artwork for this album. I remember first seeing The 2nd Law's artwork and thinking "Oh... Uh that's pretty cool, I guess. :stunned:" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebecaCrespo Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I want some badass artwork for this album. I remember first seeing The 2nd Law's artwork and thinking "Oh... Uh that's pretty cool, I guess. :stunned:" I didn't like The 2nd Law's artwork that much I'm really curious to see the new artworks for Album Seven though. I would like to see something somewhat psychedelic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I haven't really liked the artwork for any Muse album since Absolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I wish Muse would stop hawking these huge, grandiose, unifying themes for their albums. The only one that has worked for me is Absolution. BH&R is a mess of 'oh, how cool and deep is space, gice? - HOW DAMN COOL?', The Resistance is all 'oh we're so in love but STFU governments' and The 2nd Law makes no sense at all. Absolution was loosely thematic, with musical and lyrical coherence, backed up by a simple yet stonking live show that never tried too hard, just wowed the pants off you with its sheer power.

FabriPav Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 BH&R artwork is awesome, TR is ok and T2L is ok too I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 That said, I'd be happy for them to have a horrible artwork if the music is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution helped that it was barely thematic at all. BH&R I'd say worked ok. The space elements worked together musically at least with the more grandiose side of the album. There was also nothing very specific except adding astronomical words to everything which I can look over. It's the last two where they really tried to push a concept, and both times ended up with a few on topic tracks before going back to making love songs again.

Clunge Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 That's kind of what I meant about Absolution - it was loosely thematic but everything tied up very nicely. There's nothing on Absolution that sounds or feels out of place to me. Every album since has a moment or two I listen to and just thing, why?

Every album since has a moment or two I listen to and just thing, why?Tbh the only songs I would keep if I was making a thematically consistent album are AP,TIRO, SFA, SS, Hysteria, B&H, Blackout and RBS.

Clunge Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Fair enough. 'Only' would, to my mind, imply picking a minority, not a majority. I'd throw FAWY in there too, and probs TOADA and Fury. The Small Print and Endlessly are the only two that feel remotely out of place to me. Both great still though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"only" because it was quite a big difference from your statement which was that none of the songs felt out of place. I'd say OoS is closest to perfection in that aspect, as it only has one fault.
