The festivals were really amazing. I watched most of them streaming and never got sick of them.

I couldn't believe how they just fell apart as soon as the regular tour started. What does the band think the difference is with a festival crowd? Why did they deserve better gigs and sets than their own tour?

I think they might also see being part of a bigger bill where people aren't necessarily paying just to see them as freeing them up a bit with regards to pleasing casuals 100%. Maybe that festival crowds are more open to having a good time and getting into songs as well, whether they know them or not. It's twisted logic but I guess that'd be Muse for you.

 

Seems mad that so many of us were actually looking forward to the arena tour and naturally expecting it to be even better.

Yeah Matt has said multiple times that they feel that festivals give them more freedom than regular tours.

what do you guys mean? i didnt follow muse for a while, what happened + examples plz

He's either talking about Matt's falsetto which was reeeaaally rough and grating:

Or the ending chest notes, the "Leeet me go, leeet me be" which he couldn't do properly either.

So, with all that 'his voice broke' talk, any guesses what really happened? Because, to me, the high notes in Showbiz in Reading still were almost, if not absolutely, flawless. Yes, there was some vocal dist thrown in there, but still, if his voice would've been broken, I don't think he would've hit them at all. Plus when I saw them in 2015, they played Micro Cuts, which, again, yes, the chorus was distorted, but he did pull it off.

The latter half of 2017 was an actual step up for Matt, and I would assume that it was because the breaks between gigs were longer. Showbiz did indeed sound great, but he didn't sound that good in 2016.

 

This is an example of Micro Cuts in 2016:

 

I mean that's a reaaally bad sound for falsetto. Could go into more detail but time for dinner.

 

As for reason: Age, intense touring and probably some vocal problems in 2015 which were never fixed in time for the touring to start. Both Spectrum and I have said that it sounds like he's developed or at least is developing nodules (which doesn't necessarily affect your whole voice btw, which is why some songs can still sound fine), but we'll see.
