Alec Ferris Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 One could argue Matt's voice still doesn't fit funk That argument could also be made. Personally though, I like his performance on Panic Station, and would certainly take the silliness over an attempt at a typical funk performance.

frozenbanana Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Not sure why this discussion is going on given everything so far has indicated a relatively standard album in terms of rock content (having said that I had no idea there would be MuseStep on T2L until the album trailer was released). Suffice to say that if Muse did end up doing something barmy like rap or even dubstep stuff all over again, I'd probably be cool with it - if they go properly batshit mental about it. One of the things I didn't like about Unsustainable was that it didn't really push the limitations of the whammy or the heavy bass stuff, and the second half of the song was practically a repeat of the first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Heat Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yeah i don't care either as long it's good. Loved T2L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdF Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Urban Dance Squad. They did it in the Eighties before RATM did it, and it was good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy8xzW2mQpk Woah thanks for sharing this, it's fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I really, really like T2L, but a little part of me always wonders if I had such a good first impression because of how much my hopes were crushed after hearing all the descriptions of the songs... I'm not sure quite how I'm still as excited as I am after all the ACDC/classic rock insinuations, either. In a positive or negative way? Horrific is used in a positive way? I guess, I mean, unless you're describing horror films... better than bee puns I so much hate that this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight__ Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 seems accurate to me. :LOL: i like funk, or at least funk influence in rock. like RHCP did... for example. Matt does sound okay in Panic Station. I don't think rap metal would fit matt's voice at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Horrific is used in a positive way? I guess, I mean, unless you're describing horror films It depends on one's personal point of view. In Italian "youth slang" some adjectives of that kind could have a "bipolar" meaning. For example: "This album is terrifying!" ("Questo album è terrificante!") could be used in a positive way to describe the enormous greatness of an album you find positively impressive. EDIT: Just forget my first paragraph up here, Serpent... I've studied all day long, I'm about to doze off and I don't even know what the heck I'm writing... Sorry for this. By the way, the reactions to my thought-provoking post about Matt possibly doing distorted rap over the riff heard in the IG video are not what I intended to cause, but they're simply priceless!

This pic makes me very happy: Lol dude what are you talking about? Did you even look up the artists I named? Superstition is hardly funk compared to the artists I named. Funk is characterized by heavy rhythmic bass lines. Superstition doesn't have prominent "funk" bass; it is funk but it's only barely so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, mostly just plain honest misreading this time. Except we've established no one really knows what qualifies as "funk." I had to listen to that last IG vid real quiet as I was in public... but were there actually vocals in there, distorted or no? I don't hear that at all.
