Destroya Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hang on, weren't they on Take 31 in the Making of video, just for the riff?! Matt said the slide guitar sections were the most takes that he had ever done for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hang on, weren't they on Take 31 in the Making of video, just for the riff?! You're right. The "wiggin'" part mentioned in the interview must be referring to the entirety of the main heavy breakdown. The making of riff you're thinking of seems to be more pertinent to the slide, since that comment Matt made in the leaked video came immediately after that slide guitar bit.

museiscool Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I sure hope as fuck that countdown isn't the real thing. Sounds gimmicky and I hate all these edgy samples. When will Muse take their music seriously again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyn Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'd be amazed if The Globalist is more than 9-10 minutes long. If it is, and it's as good as I'm hoping it'll be, I'll forgive the band for only having 10 actual 'songs' on the album, as this will probably be worth 3.

museiscool Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 When did they ever? Unsustainable, Isolated System, protesting/shouting people in Animals, Psycho (the worst use of them IMO)... I just honestly hate the direction they are taking. I'm sure the rest of The Globalist will actually be good, but I just can't stand the use of samples in their music. It just sounds dodgy to me.

museiscool Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Chris pinned it down at 12 minutes and multiple reviews said 13. Cry me a river. That countdown was in the making of, it's obviously in the song. From the Italian interview recently linked on reddit: "For half the song it recalls Radiohead, prior to the beginning of sound that marks the countdown to destruction, when they return to the electric guitars." That hint towards a countdown enough? EDIT: Latest NME interview: "‘The Globalist’ sees the same ex-drone operator – finally having thrown off the yoke of his oppressors – becoming his own ultimate dictatorship-of-one. Long and loud, it’s up there with the wiggiest things they’ve ever done: ‘Knights of Cydonia’ maximalism that begins with two minutes of soft Ennio Morricone style violins and whistling, climaxing a full six minutes later with a countdown from ten to the actual end of the actual world.

That hint towards a countdown enough? Did you not see the leaked making of The Globalist video? It's in there. Not that interview. You're being melodramatic, a 10 second countdown ruining a 13 minute song? Give me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatchHellBlues Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) This just keeps sounding better and better. Countdown is a good thing IMO. We've already partly heard it and it was okay. Makes it more epic, just imagine it live! Thinking of it like that reminds me of when Kasabian put a countdown to the drop on the screen in Vlad, that is awesome. I'll do very well to not go straight to this when the album is finally out Edited May 20, 2015 by CatchHellBlues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't use the word 'epic' to describe it myself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Radiator Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Didn't Matt say that The Globalist isn't connected to the main story of the album, and while being about a dictator is nothing to do with the main character? NME is full of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
