IrishMagpie Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Did a wee article on the band for What Culture. 25 best songs, as obviously hinted at in the above title.. Hardly the creme de la creme of music writing, I'm pretty inexperienced at it, but feel free to have a look, maybe post your own choices, and of course, most importantly, slate my own. Enjoy http://whatculture.com/music/25-greatest-muse-songs-time.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Shine Acoustic, Resistance and Invincible have no place in that list for my taste! . Otherwise, pretty good call. Maybe a bit to Origin focused in the top 5. For what it's worth, my top 25 below (yes, I have a day off work and nothing better to do!). New Born Take A Bow Muscle Museum Apocalypse Please City Of Delusion Dead Star Map Of The Problematique MK Ultra Ruled By Secrecy Survival ----- Stockholm Syndrome Bliss Showbiz Citizen Erased Supremacy Hyper Music Sunburn Hysteria Butterflies & Hurricanes Hate This & I'll Love You Space Dementia Host Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist United States Of Eurasia Exogenesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Couldn't even get passed the first song. "One of Muse’s many anti-establishment anthems, ‘Animals’ was one of the few moments on ‘The 2nd Law’ that seemed to have a beating heart and genuine emotion at its core." Let me guess, the rest of the album isn't as genuine because...it's not something you can connect with? Because songs like Madness, Follow Me, Save Me and Liquid State aren't songs totally built around genuine emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I would actually have put Animals at the lower end of the "emotionally driven" spectrum on T2L... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asleygo Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Animals shows that has not gone slavery besides ambition and selfishness of this world makes us a true nasty bipedal beasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneonfish Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Animals shows that has not gone slavery besides ambition and selfishness of this world makes us a true nasty bipedal beasts. Totally agree. I wish that us bipedal humans would take a leaf out of the quadrupedal beasts' book. We could learn A LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 This has way too much "hardcore Muse fan" bias for an article that will be read largely by casual fans. In other words it needs more Blondie, more tits and more black holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Bit of love for Shine acoustic. That's awesome stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenbanana Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Agree with number 1 but also about there being too much top 5 Origin love; perhaps B&H should be higher. Also IMHO Bliss should be in there, and at least one of the TR tracks should be off the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I didn't read it all the way through (or much of it, tbf) but no Bliss? I'm still on the fence about celebrities and/or rich people going on about the state of the world, to an extent... stuff like Uprising, US, Animals... (particularly US) Something about it just rubs me the wrong way most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangeseas Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'm still on the fence about celebrities and/or rich people going on about the state of the world, to an extent... stuff like Uprising, US, Animals... (particularly US) Well Muse is a not a punk band. They write songs like Survival and United States of Eurasia. Hell, the video of Uprising includes oversized teddy bears. Enjoy the absurdity.

serpentsatellite Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Take Animals. Why couldn't Muse have something to say about the bankers? Animals is probably the least concern; the banking crisis does effect everyone, after all. Unnatural Selection, as I said, was probably the worst for me. Something about talented rich people singing about how the "lucky" don't care about the rest of us doesn't exactly seem right to me. Stuff like Uprising has always felt disingenuous to me, as well, but it's just a personal bias, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
