FabriPav Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Why not just cut out the ridiculous middle step and just bring back the good songs right away? Futurism. Hyper Music, Fury. yes please is cool too! both amazing rock songs... something like dead star or in your world would be fab too... Easy now. Yeah something like Dead Star, they haven't played that in like 10 years. I think that's what the Zepp gig was for. There just doesn't seem to be any sign of a follow up. Well, at least a few of those great songs seem to be stickin' around. We'll see if Australia will get other comebacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I already accepted that Muse have a poppy side. And I don't mind songs like that on an album, they just have to make sure to put some good songs on there, too. Pop-singles doesn't have to mean shit though. Time is Running Out, Bliss, Plug in Baby Endlessly, Supermassive Black Hole.... Then you get into stuff like Guiding Light, Undisclosed Desires, Starlight and Madness which are ugh. Madness would be alright if it didn't take so goddamn long to get to the good part. Sign o the Times should be a single on album #7. That's as poppy as it should get on the next album.

Alexander DeLarge Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 You know i'm just worried about the next tour honestly. If the next album is going to sound like Agitated/Yes Please... Madness and Starlight are going to stick out like a sore thumb next to the heavy stuff. Think they'll make the wise decision and drop those completely?

kueller Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 It probably won't sound exactly like Agitated, if at all. And they've managed to play Dead Star in the same gigs as UD so I don't see why they can't blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The twelve year olds complain that they didn't play Unintended and the heavier fans complain that they didn't play Citizen Erased and Micro Cuts. They're really at a crossroads where they need to decide whether they're going to be a rock band or the next Coldplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Casual fans at Reading liked the hits part more than the OoS part. They're never going to please everyone but a good mix has done them well this tour. They're still regarded highly as a live act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 An entire album of David Bowie and Porcupine Tree songs remixed by Matt after too many extra-drowsy sleeping pills. 7.8/10-NME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I've spoken to has said that it was a total buzzkill while everyone far back was loving it. It's time to alienate the casual listeners and get the hardcore audience back since most of them stopped going to gigs after the disappointing Resistance tour.

Bumpypotato Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'm kind of tired of some of the 'OTTness' by this point tbh. No choir and sparingly used strings on the next album would be a lot more refreshing imo. Unless they use it like Isolated System, in which case I'm on bored.

Bumpypotato Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Before making the album, the band should be forced to only listen to Tool, Oceansize and Amplifier. With a healthy dollop of Godspeed. Not tipical opera vocals but very very close to it. Opera-like vocals. You clearly haven't heard much opera.

Ryoma-kun Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think most Opera singers would be offended if you call that whiny, screeching falsetto in MC for Opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Yah, basically. And I've never heard any male opera singer use falsetto. I guess it could happen, but I imagine it would be very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Ferris Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 With a healthy dollop of Godspeed. I don't think Godspeed style would really suit them. I always figured that something closer to Mogwai or Pelican (hookier and more riff-based, at least to my ears) would suit them better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter. Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'd also be okay with them dropping the stringey-operatic theatricalness for the sake of a more simple (three piece even) rock sound, but then I'd want it to be heavy. And when I say heavy, I don't mean "omg liquid state so much b33f". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Ferris Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 If we get something as heavy as The Small Print I'd be content. What matters is whether they do it well or not. I like the idea of heavy funky songs, particularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiga Kagekami Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think a mix of both ambient/post-rock drawn out songs and bursts of heavy riffs and the sort would make a great album, as long as it's arranged well and flows well. I hope that's the variety that Muse will aim for if they were to concentrate more on the rock influences. For some odd reason I just imagined Guiding Light with post-rock elements.

That Little Animal Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'd also be okay with them dropping the stringey-operatic theatricalness for the sake of a more simple (three piece even) rock sound, but then I'd want it to be heavy. Yup they once were the best three piece live band to create a rock-solid, full sound with just the three of them. The songs themselves and the switching of instruments created plenty of diversity to entertain for a full show. Now they're the three piece live band best at hiding behind sounds that are pre-recorded or come from a dude in the shadows. Ok, maybe it's just Matt who's leaving his guitar and piano alone too much, but the trend of adding more sounds while playing less of them is not a good one. Three-piece rock is where it's at, strip naked, back to basics and bring back over the top bombast as a climax, not as the norm. Also, cut the cheese please.
