jonesy39 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Cheers. Oh well, guess I'll just have to get used to it. Still, love the track. Glad Muse are back. I edited those parts out and it's a better listen. I wonder what they'll do live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DifferentPerson Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUarppg_rwY I'm not gonna watch it yet (about to go to bed) but I bet he gives it a strong 5 to a light 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niall Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 That guy is right about the Uprising/Psycho drumming IMO. Even my dad said that to me earlier... There's a part nearer the end of the song where it basically could have just segued into Uprising perfectly. I don't know how to describe it as I don't know the language people use for music. It's a short repetitive but of guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 There's a bass bit that is identical to what Chris plays right before the Uprising live outro. The song is a 6/10 (or a strong 6 ) now for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatchHellBlues Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) I don't think the drums are prominent enough, when the riff kicks in they almost get lost in the background instead of driving it forward. might be that the balance is just slightly off.

OriAr Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 That guy is right about the Uprising/Psycho drumming IMO. Even my dad said that to me earlier... I actually think the drumming in the verses reminds me of Shoot the Runner by Kasabian. Shoot me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Yeah, when I first listened to it certain parts struck me as pretty much Uprising rip-offs. Hell, you can practically sing 'The paranoia is in bloom...' when the first verse starts. Still really good fun though, I'd give it a solid 7/10. I don't want the whole album to be like that though. I know it's a bit of a cliche to say but I'm hoping for some more serious and darker stuff as well, more in the vein of those distorted Marilyn Manson-y vocals. I actually think the drumming in the verses reminds me of Shoot the Runner by Kasabian. Shoot me. The bit before the last chorus really reminds me of the end of Shoot The Runner. I almost wanna start singing 'Kiiiiings, kings will come and then go...' Edited March 14, 2015 by Jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatchHellBlues Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Don't really see the cock rock comparison, but most of that review was spot on. If they had shaved off a minute of it and cut someone of the drill sergeant shit, this song would have been ace. I still can't decide if I like the song or not. Yeah agreed, I still think the drums are a bit weak for the heaviness of the riff though. Somewhere between a 5/6 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Yeah, when I first listened to it certain parts struck me as pretty much Uprising rip-offs. Hell, you can practically sing 'The paranoia is in bloom...' when the first verse starts. Bit hard to call the song a ripoff when the main riff predates Uprising by a decade. It's likely the other way around, i.e. Uprising was inspired by this riff, and perhaps even partially derived from earlier attempts to turn the riff into a song. That said I thought TR was a generic, highly derivative album, and I found Uprising to be overrated and bland. Psycho to me feels like the song Uprising should've been.

yoyonco10 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I think the part im most pissed about is that fact they slightly changed the riff, back in the old days after the 0305035 they'd hit the 6th fret, and now they just slightly bend the 5th fret Not a huge difference, but noticeable enough to me and i'm sure a few others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 You know what it deffo rips off/heavily inspires from? Killing in the Name of. I keep rabbiting on about it but the bit before the last chorus is just...waiting for someone to make a medley of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely the other way around, i.e. Uprising was inspired by this riff, and perhaps even partially derived from earlier attempts to turn the riff into a song. Not saying the whole song's a direct rip off, just that some parts feel like they're a bit too similar, to the extent that I can't listen to them without thinking of Uprising (usually the live version). Maybe 'rip off' was the wrong phrase, I don't think they consciously took from it. You might be right when you say Uprising was inspired by that original riff. Psycho to me feels like the song Uprising should've been. Agree with this 100% though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 The song could probably do with being about a minute shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
