BigGeorge Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's Starlight 2. Great chorus though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougwalters Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks mate! It's legit edit - I am in heaven, as starlight is my favourite Muse song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobiiiaaas Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's very hard to tell much from the quality of the recording but my instant reaction is Mercy feels like something that would've fit on BH+R. I think I like it but it's very early in the morning and I'm not sure I'm actually alive yet. The beginning, keyboard intro, sounds very much a spiritual successor to Starlight but afterwards I'd say the song moves away from that and becomes something different.

Clunge Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I always regarded Resistance as Starlight 2.0. Is Mercy therefore Starlight 3.0? And JFK musically is We Are The Universe? Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I always regarded Resistance as Starlight 2.0. Is Mercy therefore Starlight 3.0? And JFK musically is We Are The Universe? Interesting... Maybe it'll be over the instrumental, since they seem to be on a spree of using every live unrecorded thing they've done on this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yeah, it's a bit worrying tbh . Are they really that lacking in inspiration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yeah, it's a bit worrying tbh . Are they really that lacking in inspiration? I think they're just having fun with it, for better or worse. Not counting the parts that sound like songs that aren't theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The solo was very dead inside. Just of power chord progression. Keyboard melody was subtle but helped set the mood. That was not a solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resistance is nothing like Starlight imo. However Madness is definitely Resistance 2.0 (and the end of Dead inside is Madness 2.5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockertae Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 To me Resistance and Starlight are quite similar in that they're both the second track of the album, pop singles with soft verses that are primarily bass with a simple piano melody over them and a loud sing-along chorus. Madness' is only really getting grouped in the sense that it's the second track pop single I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Notes I wrote from the show/interview tonight mercy starts off with bass and piano (Matt not on the piano), definitely had a starlight vibe to me. Defector is the darkest the album gets JFK is the same audio they used to open some shows during BHAR tour. They've had thoughts of playing the album front to back Mercy is about fighting oppressive forces The handler is where the album makes some sort of shift, and it's also Matts favourite song on the album. Well now The Handler's hype is ballooning up to that of The Globalist too. I'm so tired of waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The Handler and The Globalist were the two songs I said right fom the start that I was looking forward to, simply judging by their titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The Handler and The Globalist were the two songs I said right fom the start that I was looking forward to, simply judging by their titles. I felt similarly, the other two tracks I had big expectations for based on titles (besides Psycho since I already heard the track) were Dead Inside and Reapers. The latter met and exceeded my expectations, while the former blindsided me but still is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craaig Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 And JFK musically is We Are The Universe? Interesting... I thought WATU was TR era? I think they're using that JFK speech they used at a few gigs in 07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
