FabriPav Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thing is the entire track is weak. Matt's falsetto is him trying really hard to be classic rock, the classic rock "sound" of the track would hold up better without him pushing it over the edge with that, a more Muse-y falsetto or melody there would've done it justice. Some good parts of the track, but this doesn't excite me at all. JJTheMuse not defending a new Muse song? Shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intro is cool, it's just that falsetto As I say though, I won't judge it properly until I've seen in live or when the studio version is released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom//P Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I like it! Especially the QotSA-esque chorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen_Eraser Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 It's more powerful. But then again live everybody will scream it so it's alright You can't really tell how powerful it sounds through a youtube phone video. I just think it sounds epic through a vocoder.

musedan Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yeah, surely any real judgement should be withheld until the release. #logic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Reading through these last few pages, and I'm actually agreeing with Dee, and JJ isn't defending the song. I don't know what's real anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonli18t Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 love reapers, and ive been waiting for a more self indulgent track for a while. (ok that sounds weird, this is muse, i guess it's all self indulgent, but i meant the solo) people scoffing at reapers on a single listen with horrendous audio (which picks up vocals probably the worst) are jumping the gun IMO. and this is their first show and first performance of brand new songs...and we are criticizing the strength and style of the falsetto let the song breathe a little.

jonisdead Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 JJTheMuse not defending a new Muse song? Shocker. At least it's better than Unnatural Selection I'm sure it'll sound pristine in its mix on the record, but my main gripe is not being able to hear jack with the guitar + bass during the verses, Dom was really the standout player during this song. His drums were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 This album seems to be a collection of every riff they've played live. So what riffs are they gonna play live now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen_Eraser Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Here's where I stand. Almost every Muse song I've ever heard I was iffy on first listen. Then they grow on me. The difference here, at least they're playing rock this time guys. At least we're not comparing these songs to Madness UD and Starlight.

Yeah I'm sure it'll be a delight to listen to the whole record with the level of production it has. I'm not abandoning hope for Reapers yet, but it just doesn't feel like a Muse track at all. Granted, I haven't said that about anything they've put out for the last two albums, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
