connorcinhull Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I've never been a selective Muse fan, I love all of their albums for very different reasons, but the biggest thing I've always loved about Muse is that all of their songs are distinctive, they've never done a song that sounds too much alike to another, and for better or for worse, the 2nd law doesn't really break that. I think it's a good album, personally. Some quality tunes on there and is a better overall album than the Resistance was for me personally.

Maneachicken Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I also love Follow Me - there was potential for a really good electronic album looking at some of the tracks on TR and T2L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 That's what I try to tell myself. But it doesn't make it any better. Sometimes it seems they like to throw the "good taste" out of the window just to convey or emphasise a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen. Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Unsustainable could've sounded decent if it had more bass during the drop. The whole thing just feels like a gimmick though. Tbh, that entire album cycle felt like a gimmick. Yeah, exactly. The first time I listened to it I thought it would be the first Muse song that wouldn't grow on me. It did after a few listens more (and seeing it live) , but I still skip it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnViMuMa Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 but the middle part is the best imo the best thing they've ever done, even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 but the middle part is the best imo the best thing they've ever done, even. Don't get me wrong, I really like it, it just doesn't blend well with the rest. Muse have never really been good with transitions, I guess.

Jobby Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I also love Follow Me - there was potential for a really good electronic album looking at some of the tracks on TR and T2L. I'd love for them to actually make an experimental electronic album. Nothing that sounds like Follow Me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uneety Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 but the middle part is the best imo Yeah, Cross-Pollination is my favourite part too. I was surprised when I found out that a lot of people think that it's the worst part of Exo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Cross-Pollination is only marginally better than USOE for me (which isn't a good thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black4bird Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Big Freeze would've been 10 times better if it didn't have the silly backings. That's the only thing I find annoying about the song. I love the pre-chorus, chorus and the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzthief Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Sometimes it seems they like to throw the "good taste" out of the window just to convey or emphasise a message. That has got to be the most ridiculous way someone has tried to defend a song's lack of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZockerFD Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 TR and T2L are both very forgettable albums. I also didn't like TR at first but after T2L, going back to it feels incredibly good. There are a lot of great songs on it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Something glitchy and chill. No synthpop. Awwww yeeeee I said in another thread (might have just been ages ago in this one actually) that I want an album consisting of stuff like Monty Jam and glitch electronics. The electronic elements in TR and T2L were too mainstream; in BHAR they had some gusto about them. Mainstream =/= bad though. UD is great. I know what you mean though, in an ideal world they would've gone on to experiment more with the electronic aspects of BH&R instead of making generic stadium rock with the occasional decent tune.

heyjackk Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I also didn't like TR at first but after T2L, going back to it feels incredibly good. There are a lot of great songs on it imo. It's half decent. Uprising, Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra, Redemption and Overture are all great songs, the rest is kinda eh to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 TR isn't bad. It suffers a bit from bland production and too much emulation of other styles, but it's a good deal better than T2L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'd love for them to actually make an experimental electronic album. Nothing that sounds like Follow Me though. They could've carried on trying to replicate electronic sounds and moods with their traditional instruments. I think it might have been positively bonkers. Oh, well... At least, Drones isn't deluding me so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Pigeon Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 yessss, second part is by far my least favourite Agreed! Part 1 is an absolute masterpiece and Part 3 is just beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen. Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 TR was the album that got me into Muse, and some of its songs are the first Muse songs I listened, so, you know... My main problem with it is that it lacks punch on the rock songs, watching proshots of US and MK is soooo different to listen to the album versions it almost hurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
