FabriPav Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 It's a shame the song as a whole is boring, the vocal melodies are so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I was a bit serious lol, I feel like the tone of the song was intended to come off as you described it, whereas a lot of people criticize the tone of the song/way it's executed as its "downfall" when that's the entire point of the song. I actually do agree with that. At least now. Maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see, because I really like the subject matter being dealt with, but I hope I'm not completely wrong. Matt at least seems serious about the subject matter, anyways, when he talks or Tweets about it. When it first came out, I very much felt a very Survival-esque "well fuck you Muse, and your Monty Python bs!" So I see both sides, I guess.

Con101 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The major part of me still believes they laugh their asses off at us for taking them seriously at all. :'( I've always had the feeling Matt takes it more seriously than Dom and Chris for some reason haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 There was an interview in the T2L era where Chris stated that he had no idea what Matt was "going on about" in the lyrics to many of the songs, anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Have you noticed that the running time of Psycho on iTunes has been cut from 5:28 to 5:16? Could that mean the final fade-out effected with a lot of reverb and delay is going to be left integral, without a possible crossfade with Mercy? Good catch, I want to download it to confirm whether you're right or not but I don't want to pay another $1.29 for a shorter version of the song. Does anyone else know what the 0:12 second cut actually cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Maybe Matt read the criticism about the "super drone" line here, and decided to cut it from the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witz Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Maybe Matt read the criticism about the "super drone" line here, and decided to cut it from the song. Nah, its the best line in the song and Matt seems to love singing it live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobiiiaaas Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 There's not a lot different with it, just think they've tightened it up slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 There's not a lot different with it, just think they've tightened it up slightly. They've cut out the first seconds of strumming and feedback, haven't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogles. Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's probably just been cut so the riff starts immediately and the feedback plays in the background of Drill Sergeant. Which I assumed was always a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alibros Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Why do we have to take it seriously anyway? It does get boring because it's long but I every time I listen to it, it makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibros Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Oh and by the way JFK is 22 seconds long and matt sings "controlled by drones" in falsetto in the background. source: my dream last night. I need help ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickerman Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I had one a few days ago where Revolt was a "classic rock acoustic ballad"... and Aftermath a "glam rock lovesong" (Are you GL in disguise? Likely tho with what we've heard)... Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Should record those ideas floating through your head so people can post them as fake Muse songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yeah, this is what I thought. The non-drill sergeant version started with the feedback strumming you hear a few seconds into the video without the overdubbed sergeant vocals. My guess is they only cut some extra repetitions of the riff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not going to recut the song at this stage. There is no cutting extra repetitions of the riff without changing how the song is constructed.

They're not going to recut the song at this stage. There is no cutting extra repetitions of the riff without changing how the song is constructed. Except they just did. It's 12 seconds shorter now, and the strum was in both versions of Psycho so i don't know what you're saying in the first bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is he didn't critique my post, he just made that comment off hand. I see nothing warranting that when all I'm doing is speculating on a shorter version of a song I've not heard yet and don't wish to pay for to find out whether I'm right or wrong.

nerd herd Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I've heard the version (it's beenon spotify for ages) and you're wrong. As you literally said, the first non-drill sergeant version had the feedback, and now a shorter version without it has been released. I just listened to this on spotify and my iTunes (with the file from Warner) simultaneously and both were the same. Spotify shows the time as 5:17 but when you play it it's still 5:28. Unless there are 2 versions on Spotify and I've missed something... Neither had the drill sergeant intro and both had the guitar tuning up to drop D feedback.
