JamesWS Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Obviously their gonna think it's good but they've usually been a lot more modest with self appraisal so I think it's an encouraging sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottycydonia Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Expectations for me just skyrocketed. They are usually so modest and might give the whole "yeah its our best album" like every band do. But they are obviously confident that this album will blow us away and with the album set to be their heaviest it could be their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I don't get why everyone suddenly has their expectations over the moon just because a band member used the words "fucking awesome". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneonfish Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I don't get why everyone suddenly has their expectations over the moon just because a band member used the words "fucking awesome". It's widely acknowledged and accepted that adding swear words makes something significantly better than it otherwise would have been. I can't really remember how the band talked about T2L, TR etc. though so maybe that suggests that the band consider the album in a special light or something. I don't think so though.

Mattestro Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Don't mean to be a downer, but I seem to recall Matt describing Madness as "the best song he's ever written" prior to it being released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"omg but it is, it's got such a nice buildup and is so great after the solo" yeah, I'm not trusting a word they say. well, in reference to the album's quality anyway.

Dee3Dee Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Don't mean to be a downer, but I seem to recall Matt describing Madness as "the best song he's ever written" prior to it being released. To be fair though, it was Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdF Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Well I mean, do you expect them to say their work fucking sucks? Of course they're gonna say it's awesome. I don't get why everyone suddenly has their expectations over the moon just because a band member used the words "fucking awesome". To be fair, prior to T2L's release Dom didn't hype the album up so much and I always felt that Matt was the one who was really enthusiastic about it while the other two were kinda meh. On-stage, I think it's fairly clear that Dom has way more fun playing the heavier tracks than stuff like Madness and UD, which further suggests that this album will be seeing a return to more OoS-Abso style heavy tracks. Furthmore, we know Muse are good at that. When they're wild and experimenty, it mostly turns out pretty good but can be kinda shit. But they have an established track record of putting out fantastic 3-piece rock songs, so if this is an album full of 3-piece rock songs (as the available evidence would suggest) then I see no reason to not assume it would be good beyond a desire to be negative about everything.

There's no proof for that at all but if you can find an interview in which it's clear that Dom and Chris were half-hearted about the album, I'm happy to be corrected. On-stage, I think it's fairly clear that Dom has way more fun playing the heavier tracks than stuff like Madness and UD, which further suggests that this album will be seeing a return to more OoS-Abso style heavy tracks.Again, you don't have proof for that. You have absolutely no idea what they were thinking while they were playing. Furthmore, we know Muse are good at that. When they're wild and experimenty, it mostly turns out pretty good but can be kinda shit. But they have an established track record of putting out fantastic 3-piece rock songs, so if this is an album full of 3-piece rock songs (as the available evidence would suggest) then I see no reason to not assume it would be good beyond a desire to be negative about everything. It's hardly being negative is it? All he said was that the album was fucking awesome. So what? What do you expect him to say? Chris and Matt haven't said much about the album, so that obviously means that they think it's the biggest waste of time of their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con101 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I know Chris has said in the past he prefers playing Muse's heavier songs, can't for the life of me remember where or when though. I shall dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter. Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Still unconfirmed. also, "heavy" is still pretty relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yeah but I think we can get a decent idea on what Muse heavy means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Don't mean to be a downer, but I seem to recall Matt describing Madness as "the best song he's ever written" prior to it being released. Were we ever sure if he meant, like, REALLY the best song he's written... or the best song because it saved his relationship? He'd talked about that a lot in interviews. If it's the latter, that's kinda "awwwwww" - otherwise, Yeah but I think we can get a decent idea on what Muse heavy means. Not very? Anyways, Matt also said it was Abso/BH&Rish. I am really, fucking surprised at how someone using the words fucking awesome to promote something they created and profit off of is taken so seriously.

serpentsatellite Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Well, yeah, I would assume they are physically capable of it. The people expecting this is like Muse's heavy metal album are a bit baffling, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con101 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yeah that is a bit silly. All I want are good tunes, mainly guitar-based, with little to no cheese. Chuck in a couple of pieces with an accompanying piano and we're onto a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Heat Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yeah they don't need to become a heavy metal band all of a sudden. Absolution heavy is more than enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
