kueller Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Oh I thought you meant it wasn't good played in isolation. It is. I always lock myself in my room for 3 days before listening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sade Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 My attitude towards TR is kind of vague. I was hugely disappointed when it came out, however liked some tracks...lately I've been going back to it and it's not a bad album. Many of the tracks ARE good. Uprising, UD, US, Exogenesis, IBTY...USoE and MKUltra are just okay for me, the only clear duds are GL and Resistance. It's hard to explain but the album as a whole just somehow lacks that "x-factor" that makes it extra-special, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a very unemotional album. The tracks might be good but they just feel so...lifeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanp16 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Here's what I think of the album Uprising is meh, Resistance is shit, UD is meh (I love Chris' vocals near the end), Eurasia is meh, GL is shit, Unnatural is alright, MK Ultra is awesome, IBTY is good, Exo is amazing. It feels a lot more like an album to me though, whereas Showbiz just feels like a collection of songs in a not so great order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nipso Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 What songs DOES Chris sing on? Apart from his ones, obviously, I thought pretty much all backing vocals are done by Matt, and Chris only did them live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sade Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 It lacks inspiration and energy imo. Feels like a very unemotional album. The tracks might be good but they just feel so...lifeless. Could be that. I mean, UD for example is a song about love/sex but feels very cold and distant. It's a great track and I love the production on it, but that sort of coldness replicated all through the album starts to seep through. I think Exogenesis is full of emotion, though, but then again it is the heart of the album. I think there has been an issue with Muse-of-late with some lack of emotion. I mean, many of their critics/"haters" tend to cite a lack of heart and soul as one of the reasons they dislike the band. In a way I get it. Often even many of the emotional tracks are performed with focus on technical brilliancy and showmanship (Stockholm Syndrome comes to mind) that there is an emotional gap sometimes to be felt. That is one reason I'm such a champion of tracks like Falling Down being a part of the set list, they feel more humane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
