kueller Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The Globalist has been getting some good nods. I feel like the heavy part will just by a small fraction of the song, but I'm still rather interested as I have a shamless thing for the overblown epic tale type songs, and the only other legitimate attempt I can think of from the band is Exogenesis.

Asmodius Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Also funny that the reviewer thinks the album is coldly impersonal, when the consensus here seems to be that the songs have been delivered with much more emotion than most things on the last couple Muse albums. I honestly don't care anymore. After Mercy I sort of lowered my expectations. It seems Muse became another band and they plan on staying that way. There's nothing wrong with this, but as a die-hard fan I'm dissapointed. Don't get me wrong, Mercy is pretty good it's just not what I was "promised" or what I expected.

I feel that way since DI...and I was even quite excited for Mercy after that bootleg, but the final product kinda ruined it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The Globalist is sounding like CE + KoC + Exogenesis in all the best ways. If my calculations are correct, that adds up to being the best Muse song ever made... We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't judge a whole album on singles. I think everything's sounding pretty good anyway. Hope you like at least a few songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I don't understand all this crap about Muse breaking promises or whatever. They promised an album that was based around guitar, bass and drums and stripped back the theatrics. So far we know The Globalist is theatrical and from that review only one other song actually has strings on it (Think it was Aftermath), 2 out of 12 breaking the rule is hardly terrible. Muse have never been a heavy metal band and never will be, in fact they have very few songs which actually constitute being really heavy by that definition. From what we've heard so far every song has prominently revolved around being a 3 piece with a few synth spirals in Mercy and a hardly audible organ in Psycho. It's cool if you don't like the songs but stop whinging that Muse "promised me this!" or "Matt said this what a liar!" fucking hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 What they said was very little, but it's fair for people to have expectations and be disappointed when they aren't met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they really only have themselves to blame if the songs don't sound like they expected. I'm just as guilty of this, as I for some reason expected Dead Inside to be Take a Bow part 2.

Finn. Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Starting to get worried about the album. Why, for a bad review? A bad review is good news, most of the journalists are morons, dicks or even worse, have interests and write like they are neutrals. So a bad review for the mainstream media means Muse are doing some things right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more concerned of the descriptions of the songs they gave. Definitely not what I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of metal (older and newer metal) and at IMO Stockholm is the closest they ever came to metal. I do think people have a right to be disappointed in the record, if its not what they expected, but the few isolated posts of "I give up on this band" are crazy to me, seeing as though only 4 of the songs have actually been heard.

Bumpypotato Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Reviews don't concern me too much, positive or negative. Regardless, it's way too early to see what the critical consensus will be, anyway. What I really want to see is that Muse have made an album better than the last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
