FabriPav Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Since BHAR ;_; Not really, TR has MK Ultra and all of Exogenesis. T2L has Animals and Explorers. I like Chris' lyrics too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bells Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Tbh I always thought Matt can write some pretty good lyrics, if he really tries. I agree. He stopped trying after BH&R was released, in my opinion. And, because of that it really isn't the lyrics I listen to Muse for. nowadays. And, I will have to endure the agonising experience of seeing 30 Seconds To Mars and Florence + The Machine before Muse at Rock In Rio this year, so, yeah, I still take their music seriously. In my own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangeseas Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I agree. He stopped trying after BH&R was released Yeah, I love BHAR's lyrics. Most of the lyrics just fit their music. And there is no song on BHAR I would consider cheesy. Do I take Muse seriously? Yes, they have more than enough songs which I can take seriously.

Strangeseas Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 And, Arnold: Invincible isn't cheesy? I love Invincible. I dunno, the lyrics just fit the song. It never seemed cheesy to me and it has a nice build-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesy doesn't necessarily mean bad. You can like something while knowing it's cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannahG123 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 They have affected/become a big part of my life enough for me to take them seriously, but not enough for them to ever really upset me by fickle little things like bad tours, changing music. Would take a lot for them to really piss me off so maybe I don't take them that seriously And in terms of the lyrics/song topics I never really think to much about them, lyrics aren't ever that important to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Really they've always seemed to be a band that tries to be ridiculously over the top. Even their early stuff is pretty big in sound even without the strings and choirs everywhere. And well, that's one of the things I like about them. You don't have to take something seriously to enjoy it. Honestly, I'd probably hate a lot of their music if I tried to look at it very seriously. As with a lot of things.

cfc Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 ok so everyone has a different view of their music whether you look deeper into it or not, that is your choice and it should be respected.. but now I'm talking about a band who have something to say and not how do you take them.. I know how should I look at them because when I do have some time alone I like to look a bit further into their songs and by the clues given by them on interviews or live performances I at least try to break and undestand the music which is less emotional and more cerebral.. and by the way, it is familiar to me that what they try do do is often so over the top that is sounds so ridicilous that it makes you feel confused of whether you should really take them seriously (even whether they take themselves seriously) but yet again if you do complete a story with the puzzles that are their songs it will come to you..

hoodoo oz Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think it is aquestion that is difficult to answer because Muse (like most acts really) have many different fans with different experiences, occupations, tastes in other music (just look at the diversity of acts in the Other Music section of this message board) and other hobbies. I would say that a lot of Muse fans I have met either play an instrument or have an appreciation of musicianship, especially those who are fans of OoS.

HannahG123 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 yeah I agree if there is one thing similair about all muse fans past and present is that we all feel really strongly about music, whatever the genre, and are prepared to argue to defend our tastes which I love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyduh Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 and by the way, it is familiar to me that what they try do do is often so over the top that is sounds so ridicilous that it makes you feel confused of whether you should really take them seriously (even whether they take themselves seriously) but yet again if you do complete a story with the puzzles that are their songs it will come to you.. Oh, so this is some Muse are sending us secret messages through their songs crap.

Well yes, that's obvious. That's what a lot of songwriters do, they use their music and lyrics as a tool to talk about whatever is going on in their personal lives or maybe something on a much larger scale. That isn't a secret. Everybody knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
