FabriPav Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 It would not surprise me if that was a part of his thinking...! ...!
LewisF Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 The drums actually sound pretty great in this track too 👍 They make the chorus sound pretty heavy to me.
heyjackk Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Big Freeze - I love it. I love the guitar solo. And the chorus. Everything about it really. Terribly underrated imo It's so cheesy but i love it I love the Bb4s in the chorus, the drums, the guitar solo, it's cheese done right imo
Spectrum IV Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 It's so cheesy but i love it I love the Bb4s in the chorus, the drums, the guitar solo, it's cheese done right imo That buildup after the solo gives me chills.
Zepp Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 These parts are cool but damn those verses and riff.
heyjackk Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 That buildup after the solo gives me chills. in my opinion it's one of matt's more underrated pieces of guitar work, the chords may not be anything special but the lead work in the solo, that buildup and the final chorus imo are really quite nice

It was that same clean stuttering funky feel. I remember reading that the "guitar" part in the Prince song involves a little studio trickery to make it possible though It's too bad that Big Freeze never made it onto their tour set list.
LewisF Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 It's too bad that Big Freeze never made it onto their tour set list. I'd swap it with Guiding Light (which will most likely make a return next tour.)

Matt struggles with a Bb4 live and while he can definitely do it it would be a tough one for him to sing night in night out. Also if they took it down half a step it would sound weird

I remember reading that the "guitar" part in the Prince song involves a little studio trickery to make it possible though It's too bad that Big Freeze never made it onto their tour set list. Matt is waay to lazy to sing that song. If they ever play it live, the hard parts will be in falsetto or the whole song will be half a step down.
Hat Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Matt is waay to lazy to sing that song. Have you been living under a rock for the past 3 years?
Cllelf Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Have you been living under a rock for the past 3 years? Yeah, kind of. I know he is much better than he used to be, but I seriously doubt he would bother to sing that song the same way he does on the album, live.
Hat Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Yeah, kind of. I know he is much better than he used to be, but I seriously doubt he would bother to sing that song the same way he does on the album, live. Doesn't make him lazy.
Cllelf Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Doesn't make him lazy. No, maybe I used the wrong phrasing, but still, he could probably do it if he really wanted to, but it would be a huge strain on his voice ofc. Anyway, two songs I would defend is, TOADA and Survival. Really love those songs.

Anyway, two songs I would defend is, TOADA and Survival. Really love those songs. You definitely did, because yes it's probably too difficult for him live, at least without changing it around a bit (or at least replacing some lines with falsetto, which would make it quite boring), but that doesn't have anything at all to do with laziness. Damn that's a long sentence.

Damn that's a long sentence. I've always wondered how it'd sound with falsetto because the Bb4s are really what makes the chorus sound so nice to me, and I don't think it sounds as good transposed down half a step either
PlugInYorkie Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Unnatural Selection. I have really got into this song recently! I saw it live at Perth Arena and I actually think right now over the past couple of years it's better performed live than New Born. That's a big call. The studio version is good but seems like they held back, guitar needed to be a bit more...raw. But I see a lot of hate for this song and I don't get it. I don't think it's a ripoff of New Born as people have said on here before. I hope it stays on the live sets to some extent as it is definitely made for the live shows. Would have made a good opener I rekon...will never happen though.
The Resistance Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Falling away with you. It truly is a great song. Makes me feel so pensive haha. Shame we never got it live.
Aeterna Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Fans tend think that the first four albums are masterpieces and the fifth and sixth are let downs. I defend the two, Resistance in particular. I believe that Resistance is on par with the first four with tracks such as United States of Eurasia, Guiding Light and Unnatural Selection. I love The 2nd Law too. It takes me a good three listens to actually enjoy any Muse song. As for individual songs, I always defend Undisclosed Desires, Panic Station and Survival. Fans tend to see them as lesser, but I loved the 80s sound of Panic Station and the orchestral/operatic sound of Survival. Undisclosed Desires gives me the same kind of feeling as Supermassive Black Hole.
AJUltra Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Fans tend think that the first four albums are masterpieces and the fifth and sixth are let downs. I've never heard anyone call Showbiz a masterpiece Inb4 everyone calls it a masterpiece
Jobby Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I've never heard anyone call Showbiz a masterpiece Inb4 everyone calls it a masterpiece Innit, the only album worse than Showbiz is T2L imo. TR might be on par.
Aeterna Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Only people here seem to love The Resistance. Everywhere else I've been has had dislike.
