DnR Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Another recording with great audio (entire song) Â UPD: And the best one so far: Edited March 16, 2015 by DnR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonli18t Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The song is heavy and all, but...I don't know... It's just, forgettable. Â On the other hand, imagine listening to Citizen Erased for the FIRST TIME recorded live with a phone. Would you like it? I'm guessing the comments would be: "meehhh boring verses", "boring chorus", "wtf is that weird solo?", "i don't like how it jumps from heavy guitar riffs to slow piano", etc... Â good point and something i always wonder. what if pink floyd had a message board? (at the time) i bet you'd get the same sampling of hyper critical "fans" not realizing they are micro analyzing and insulting possibly the best album of all time. now, i'm not comparing muse (or this album) to that, but more of an analogous situation. point being...negativity has always existed, but the internet gives everyone a megaphone.

CountDracula Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I simply love everything about this song with the exception of the damn chorus. But I'm hoping it's the fact that he is still learning how to sing it live... But the guitar work on the track is damn good! The bass and drums are good too, but they may be branded as RATM rip offs by many. Well, can't wait to hear the album version anyways to fully analyse it!

I was blown away by it, I thought it was fun and mad and wild, but coming on here and reading people's criticism of it - a lot of which is fair, but a lot of which is also a bit ridiculous - has slightly diminished that enthusiasm (even though I know it shouldn't)  EDIT: and yeah, if Muse had been the first people to do a song called "Money" with cash register noises on it, I bet a large number of people would be getting properly annoyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do see your Point, I don't quite agree with the sentiment that there's something objectively wrong with people's complaints simply because others consider the album (or in this case the song) objectively good.

MUFC Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 All of the above are great points, and are amongst the reasons I've only watched a vid of the song the once and will now wait til the studio version to pass any judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â i don't disagree. i just think the immediacy of everything now makes people rush to judgement...both for the good and bad, and sometimes taking a step away from the computer and privately listening is a much healthier experience, for me anyway. Yet, i still come back. it is a drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see much harm in the pre-release whining from some people. It it's just a case of bad recordings, the final product will obviously solve that once it arrives.

sam_jk Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 OK, I gave in and had a listen. Â The lead at the start is brilliant, and personifies Muse. It's neo-classical, J S Bach inspired, pattern based goodness. Similar to 'In Your World', 'Glorious' or 'Apocolypse Please' arpeggios. Â The verse itself coming in sounds very much like Crying Shame, which I have always liked. Â The pre-chorus riff is rocking. The chorus is a bit cheesy sounding, but will be great recorded. Â But yes, the solo and following section are a bit AC/DC for my liking! Probably will be better on the album though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeedgeMcDuck Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yeah definitely, the first few gigs always have some issues, especially with new songs that he needs to get used to singing on a regular basis. Â I also believe Matt is trying on some more head voice stuff as opposed to falsetto. Â I don't think that vocal distortion on it helps too much either. Especially for recording the audio through a phone from a live show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â This just begs the question of why people invest time into voicing and defending half-assed criticisms. The concept of complex music needing time to grow on you isn't new to Muse fans.

The concept of complex music needing time to grow on you isn't new to Muse fans.the whole idea that someone can properly judge a song after one or even five listens is so strange to me. Sure there are instant hits, but if I don't like a song at first, it might become my favourite song ever after 15 listens. Some things are worth investing your time in, and songs that have taken me a while have ended up being played over a hundred times according to my lastfm.

That Little Animal Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This is promising. I liked the solo at the start, sort of a Kurt Cobain style mockery of the cock rock solo, but then it went full cock. Oh well, still enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Rabbit Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Between Psycho and Reapers, I'm liking what I'm hearing so far. Granted the cellphone vids of Reapers aren't the best, but there's enough audible to give me a hint of the flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'm just attempting to tolerate the chorus, especially in respect to the rest of the song which I love. I actually love the drones shout + riff, sounds so freaking beefy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
