CatchHellBlues Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 The song could probably do with being about a minute shorter. try two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 That review went about as I expected! I agree with some of the criticisms but somehow I still like the song ok. Mostly I'm just encouraged by the direction they seem to be going. But I hope some of the other songs are more proggy and complex, not all straight forward "cock rock."

Furygirl Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It is a comeback no? I haven't read the article yet so don't know the context but they're coming back from having the gap recording their new album, first new song = comeback no? Is it called a comeback every time any band releases a new album? I think of comeback as generally applying to a band that has been inactive for a long time. It's not like muse dropped off the face of the earth for the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Also in that review, Madness was a great first single enit Can see Muse opening the Psycho tour shows with Psycho and then a big riff fest after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeeeah, like I get your logic behind it, and maybe it depends on who's saying it, but I think comeback single for when a band comes back after a year with new material is fair enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoledman Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 IMO Explorers, Big Freeze, Resistance, Guiding Light, NSC. Those songs at least have some musicality to them. Psycho is just utter and total crap from any angle. It made me cringe from the first part of the drill sgt and the profanity combined with the ultra boring riff. If this is what Muse fans have been DYING for, I will resign my Muse fan-club card now. At least there is the pre-2009 music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Rabbit Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 So, is that double-tracked Matt doing the "I'm gonna make you, I'm gonna break you, I'm gonna make you a fucking psycho" bit? Wonder if Chris will end up doing that bit live. We'll know in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It'll probably be Chris live seeing as he's the one singing it in the video. Except for obviously the "fucking psycho" part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoledman Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I really don't understand all the lyric hate. Matt's never been a great lyricist but it's extremely promising that the lyrics seem solid in advancing the album's theme. I mean the lyrics are basically like 'Animals' if you ignore the swears. And hey, shit like "fat cats have a heart attack"? Nobody was hyper critical with any of that. Lots of critique about the lyrics which I don't think are that bad. Minimal attention given to Matt's on point form and delivery with all of the vocals, he's trying some new things too which are great. Matt had great lyrics prior to "The Resistance". "Hoodoo" comes to mind. Also "Falling Away With You". I can't believe that Matt is the same guy who wrote that achingly beautiful song. It's like the devil/psycho inhabits him now producing this tripe since 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleluman Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I don't think the song is too long, but the last chorus shouldn't be there, it'd be waay better with a proper outro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoledman Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Ugh. It was so obnoxious I had to turn it off at the 2:00 mark. Once the drill sergeant came back, I knew it was irredeemable trash. I guess the 'fans' brought in by 'Uprising' will like this. For those of who fell in love over "Butterflies and Hurricanes" or even OoS, this is a farewell.

Regilistic Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Back from the dead. Psycho is a step in the right direction, but it really doesn't do a whole lot for me. Should make for a very interesting opener, though. Definitely looking more promising than T2L did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylle Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Lol they're not really fans I guess. That's why it's in quotes. I suppose anyone who enjoys listening to new music and hearing the sound evolve isn't a fan. That's a coveted title for only those who can only enjoy OoS and Absolution. But really, as much as I enjoyed Matt's voice and how he used it on those albums, his voice is only getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoledman Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well even Steven Wilson doesn't like Psycho: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topo_musero Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 At first I loved the song, now I like it (hype is bad). I give it a 7/10. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think that Madness was more promising as an advance for the record. It showed a band without fear to do something outside its comfort zone. Psycho is a good rock song, but it seems that the band is playing safer. And I love when they experiment and try new things. But it's too soon to judge them, it's only one song, and it's not a bad one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Still haven't heard it . In the Lake District 'til tomorrow night so barely any internets. I've enjoyed reading this thread though - Muse being divisive as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickerman Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 This. Well,I loved it at first listen mainly due to all the excitement... it's better than anything on TR or T2L,but it isn't as good as anything on Abso or OoS. It's BHaR level,if not a bit worse.
