spark_ Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I thought that at first, but I've grown to like it The only slight cringe lyric for me is "unleash a million drones" The vocals on that line are sublime though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unidentifiable Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hmm, I quite like it, but it's not the best song in the world - agree that some vocal melodies are all over the place. Still, moody vibe like Absolution, electronics like some Black Holes & Revelations stuff. They played it last night after Map of the Problematique and it worked really well The Bond stuff is silly, despite Dead Inside and Supremacy, Sunburn still sounds more like a Bond song than anything else Muse have done. And, as for recent Taylor Swift lyrical themes, it can't just be me who finds it pretty silly to have a song (Shake It Off) that goes "Just ignore the haters! Like I did in this song that I bothered to write and record about them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandyFlowers Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I don't like the general sound and theme of it I don't like how over-produced it sounds I don't like the lyrics at all I don't like how generic almost every element of it is I don't like Matt's voice in it I don't like that it's the album opener I don't like it tbh. Exactly the same i feel for the song although i really love Matt's voice here (but i hate how he sounds on the second half, almost at the ending, what the hell happened there) And the damn DEAD INSIDE bit has been stuck in my head all day.

execution_commentary1993 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I think its a good album opener, the songs they have shown us so far (Dead Inside, Psycho, Reapers) are all early/mid album, I think the latter stage when this character in the story starts breaking, we're gonna hear some heavy shit, its like Dead Inside is the last connection to TR/T2L, then its just gonna be a downward spiral into riffage and chaos, hopefully anyway.

Deleted Denizen Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I dunno, it's basically Showbiz hidden inside a dark love song. Pretty meta. Haha, nice description: And I love it!, the vocal delivery from Matt makes me feel what I love from Muse's most feely songs, the reason I like them; you can argue the impartial "quality" of the lyrics (choice of words, structure) is not great, but they ARE in line with Muse's standards. I'm really happy for hearing this song. :D What I fear is that he's losing inspiration to compose music, and is just going to use cookie-cutter mold of pop music. At least I would like a interesting MELODY in 1 song from the album.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DublinNeil Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 After weeding through pages of Taylor Swift and U2 talk (could you get a worse combination? Maybe if Kanye got involved...), we get to the real crux of the matter. Yes. They said it would be a rock album. This is not a rock song. For fuck sakes, even their "pop" song singles on OoS, Absolution, and BHaR had decent rock bits (Feeling Good, TiRO, Starlight, Supermassive, Invincible). Whereas this is just another Queen-U2 ripoff. A continuation of their strayed desire to be popstars rather than a rock band again, and to reach the ever elusive #1 single on the billboard charts. ^^^ Word Very valid comments, even if they did upset a few sensitive souls.

I guess I just don't understand what the concern is. We've heard three songs from the album, and 2 out of 3 have been rock songs. Another has been confirmed to be the Citizen sequel.

These types of comments are from those in the minority.

serpentsatellite Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I remain completely obsessed with this song. Vocals are amazing, and it's just well put together. I'd be completely okay if the album wasn't "rock" if it was this good. Rather have a good pop album than a mediocre rock one any day. (That said, hopefully the "rock" songs are still good... because it's probably the rest of the album.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another has been confirmed to be the Citizen sequel. All signs point to this being a rock record. I really hope it is, but when the lead single sounds like it is then it's hard not to be a bit worried. I hope it's the only one of its kind but recent history shows that there's a good chance of that not being the case unfortunately. These types of comments are from those in the minority.

The Queen/U2 comments are valid and I for one hate U2 so anything Muse does in that direction isn't going to work for me, and I'm entitled to say that. Telling people to get off the board because they don't tow the party line is hilarious I bet you're one of those who signed the Glastonbury anti-Kanye petition God no. I think his music is shit and he's a tool, exactly like Bono actually, but that's about it. If people want to spend their hard earned to go see him then good luck to them.
