heyjackk Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So uh, we know pretty much nothing about the album again now that the IG videos have almost always been Psycho snippets. Except only two have been that I can recall?.. Unless you're gonna count the drill sergeant snippet but even then that's only 3 out of a bunch of others Still can't wait for the 7 string song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nr116 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Does this seem stupid or weird to you guys From my perspective as someone who loves muse and the song and will also be in a US military academy soon. As a future US military officer, I am opposed to war. Youre probably telling yourself, wait what this guy is an idiot. Hear me out. Most of the idiots in this country with no skin in the game have the loudest cries for invading here or "defending" there. These people, who unfortunately often have the loudest voices, just dont realize how costly war is and are way too generous with lives of someone's father/daughter/son/brother etc. I want to be an officer because I want to be the change I want to see, as cliche as that sounds. Things are never going to change unless new people are constantly involving themselves. Sorry if i look like an idiot after this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musedan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 This is exactly how I feel. I've always admired that they could write good quality songs without littering them with expletives. It just feels...immature to me, but that's just my silly opinion... "You are a pussy, I said show me your war face!" is quite funny though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 @nr116. I think the point is rather, how are people going to change the military, it's views or targets, etc, from the inside, when it's the people that do the controlling that make those decisions. Everyone is controlled by something else, in a mass clusterfuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) You shitlords should be ashamed of yourselves for enjoying a song like this. "Psycho" is an ableist slur that demonizes those suffering from mental illness. This song should be sold with a *TRIGGER WARNING* in the file name. muse i am disappoint RIP in peace Edit: Tumblr seems to agree with me.

Moonlight__ Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I love it. the lyrics are not great, bit silly at times, but it makes me smile too for some reason. the song screams fun to me, would be a great energetic live track.''your ass belongs to me now''... that line is extremely silly, but it's so catchy and i just loveee it. i can't help myself. Also people are easily offended by things, and also not aware enough of others.... i mean come on, the f word? how is that offensive .. Psycho ok, might be offensive for some.. but come on.. Muse is cheesy, bit over the top, silly. but that's also one of the things i like about them. So yes i can't wait to hear this live sunday!

Victoroy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I've always liked that riff, I'm glad they finally used it in an actual song. I wonder if they used any other wandering riffs like this. Decent song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 "You are a pussy, I said show me your war face!" is quite funny though I can see Matt shouting this at gigs before the big screen pans over the crowd doing their best war face. You shitlords should be ashamed of yourselves for enjoying a song like this. "Psycho" is an ableist slur that demonizes those suffering from mental illness.

Mind Over Time Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 "You are a pussy, I said show me your war face!" is quite funny though Yeah...Like I said before though, it just takes me out of the song. I don't know...I don't think that it's one of their best, but it could be much, much worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musedan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah...Like I said before though, it just takes me out of the song.

Spittle Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Just had my first listen, I enjoyed the bluesy feel to it. Am I the only one that thinks the drill sergeant bits work really well? It's cheesy in a good way to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muse_boi_23 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 To me, Psycho reminds me of a Pink Floyd track from The Wall. It certainly feels like Muse are doing the same theme as The Wall, military, war etc. But great sound, the album in full should be pretty sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musedan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I presume the "Drones!" chanting is going to to be a lot cheesier than anything in Psycho when heard in the bigger picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Rabbit Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I have a thought but I'm not quite sure how to word it, so bear with me. On one level, we have Matt whose lyrics of late haven't been the greatest (if ever). On another level, we have a song with something to say. I agree that bits of the lyrics are hilarious, but that's because some of the shit that drill sergeants/drill instructors say when hurling out their abuse is pretty damn funny when it is looked at out of context. For example: "Texas? Only two things come from Texas: steers and queers. You don't look like no steer to me." I think right now we're having a laugh, but maybe in time we'll realize that this song is actually pretty damn dark and we all like our Dark!Muse. I now return you to your regularly scheduled posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black4bird Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't really mind that 4th chorus, but there's not much variety in between, so after a while the riff gets kinda old. I love the 2nd bridge with the octaves, I think they should've just done a 3 choruses with that part as the bridge. Still really like the song though. Can't wait to hear it live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another level, we have a song with something to say. Yup, they're not running on autopilot anymore. Even if the lyrics are pretty funny they do have a meaning, and it's not generic revolutionist nonsense like Supremacy/Survival/USoE/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Gotta be honest, the more I listen to it, the more I like it. The riff overkill/length doesn't bother me much anymore. Can't wait for how fun it's gonna be live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Little Animal Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The only thing that rubs me the wrong way are parts of the second verse. "Superdrone (super drone)" is just unnecessary and the program and virusssss line is bad, but almost forgivable. Matt's tongue in cheek delivery puts too much emphasis on it. By know we should know Muse is not to be taken too seriously, i get it without the gimmicky approach. Minor points though, overall it's quite amazing.

BTM Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 If the rest of the album can match/exceed Psycho in quality I will be extremely happy. Can't wait to hear Dead Inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourceNRG Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I generally like it. I wish the drill Sargeant parts were cut out. I'm not sure why they feel compelled to have these pre-recorded parts be part of their songs. . Otherwise not a huge fan of all the swearing, but it's not too bad. wow!! My feelings exactly!! (I paraphrased this post) these parts that jonesy wrote summed up my feelings perfectly. Also, another person had posted earlier that one of the things they always liked about Muse was the lack of swearing, and I agree....Matt always seemed more intelligent than that...didn't need the lowest common denominator type junk to get his points across. Another thing I wasn't as keen on was that I felt like I couldn't hear Matt's voice very well....seemed drowned out by the music. Anyone else feel that way? Guess it was the way it was produced or mixed or whatever. But def like the music/riff etc. Good start.!..and am sure it will go very well with the whole album flow/concept.
