Dude if they officially changed their band name to "The Almighty Muse" then I would die of happiness. OT as I expected though, they have something to prove with all of these edgy festivals which is very promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusingVash Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I like it. Does not really sound like anything Muse has done before, which is totally what I wanted. Like with every album so far, its awesome to be surprised in a new muse-y way. I really dont see any problem with a rock album, if it still has Muse hidden in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I don't know what the general consensus here is on Unnatural Selection but I think it's one of their worst attempts at doing straight rock ever, also due to the fact that the riff is a complete recycling of New Born. If Muse don't touch this level of such a boring/uninspired track on this new record, I could care less if it sounds like classic rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You received it because day tickets went on sale this morning I don't know what the general consensus here is on Unnatural Selection but I think it's one of their worst attempts at doing straight rock ever, also due to the fact that the riff is a complete recycling of New Born.

Tobiiiaaas Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 You received it because day tickets went on sale this morning Ah, yeah, so I see. I was considering getting one but nope way outside my price range. I just thought the mention of dark riffs/monstrous drums was an interesting thing to say.

jonisdead Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 If you think Unnatural Selection is bad... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V77WnPUXdSg Lmao I'm not even going to ask you how you came across that.. Unnatural selection isn't really classic rock at all, not sure what it is bit it definetly isn't classic rock Well Matt described the outro riff as clean Iron Maiden and that was the best part of the track. Choruses are decent but the meat of the track is just terribad. I'd describe the track as a whole as an attempt towards a clean version of New Born that falls on its face. And the breakdown is a failed attempt at depth that tries to copy Citizen Erased's breakdown. Remove the breakdown and change the riff during the verses then it becomes acceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroya Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 So Reading day tickets are a ridiculous £65ish this year; if Download was that price would've snapped two up in an instant but that extra £20 is putting me off, especially when the three artists I want to see that day are all clashing. 100% waiting for the tour!

Gwyn Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Considering a music video has apparently already been shot, and that we're expecting to hear a new song within a month, are Muse being more secretive than usual around this album? It seems we know next to nothing, which is strange considering it seems to be at a pretty advanced stage. Regarding The 2nd Law, hadn't Matt and co done a lot more interviews and things by this stage, or am I mistaken? Surely we already knew, for example, that Chris had written 2 songs? Or is it just me being very impatient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroya Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Surely Resistance wasn't really that bad, yeah some songs were cheesy but they were still really good. More likely to listen the the whole of TR than BHAR, can't stand Solider's Poem at all, plus the combination of Exo Politics, CoD and Hoodoo drags me away even further. If KoC wasn't on that album it would definitely be my least favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henz Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Unnatural Selection sounds like someone else's attempt at a Muse song, though I think a lot of that album sounds like B-sides from BHAR anyway. I always got the impression that US was made solely because they cut down Assassin and felt bad about it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
