Hat Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 This really got me hyped for the album tbh. 3/4 songs so far have been great, and Defector and The Globalist both show promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPsycho Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm loving the creepy ending leading into The Handler. So maybe that famous clip might belong to Handler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon45 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Got to be honest. Its great but it didn't pack that punch i thought it would. Will have to listen again later with proper headphones on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topo_musero Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I love how the song sounds like it's a modern warfare, so "robotic" (dronic? ). It fits completely the theme and the lyrics. I haven't noticed that in the live recordings, studio version sounds more like it. And yeah, when the solo starts is definitely a bombing. That's cool!

Hopix Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Because the video has the lyrics in it? Knew you'd say that. What I mean is it may as well feature as both the music and lyric video because of the amount of content which isn't lyrics, and at this point the line between both types of video is blurred so much it effectively functions as both anyway.

Alexander DeLarge Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 This really got me hyped for the album tbh. 3/4 songs so far have been great, and Defector and The Globalist both show promise. I feel the same way, the most disappointing song is Psycho (and it's great live) but I don't dislike it enough to skip the track. If they can keep it up, this will be their best album since i always skip at least one track on the album because I can't stand it (TOADA and Feeling Good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oceansize Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I don't know how it could have packed much more punch honestly. They really didn't lie when they told that this captures live sound. Immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGeorge Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Unless they wanted some Mercy style clipping, you can't really fit in anymore punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatchHellBlues Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'd quite like to hear how the chants from the IG video sound on it. Might experiment with that later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon45 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I don't know how it could have packed much more punch honestly. Probably just me. Solo was not as good as when performed live imo also. I don't know, will listen again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exogenesisman Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 This is the best production of any Muse album thus far, just a very piercing sound. Not muddy at all and Matt's guitar has never sounded so powerful on an album before without it being to loud. So glad this didn't pull a Supremacy, which is still a great song but its unusually weaker on the album than it is live. Reapers is almost better on the album!!! Reapers 10/10 Dead Inside 10/10 Pyscho 9/10 Mercy 8/10 Best start to an album since Absolution, bring not the rest!! THAT CHORUS THOUGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopix Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Probably just me. Solo was not as good as when performed live imo also. I don't know, will listen again later. The solo sounds more electronic and digitalised, which is great as it reflects the themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum IV Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 This really got me hyped for the album tbh. 3/4 songs so far have been great, and Defector and The Globalist both show promise. Yup. Mercy has been the only underwhelming track for me. Starting to wonder if this might be the first Muse album that sounds better in studio. The production, instrumentation and Matt's flawless vocal delivery really take the songs we've heard so far to another level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdF Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Fuckin' round of applause to Mutt Lange goddamn. He's what Muse needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Bellamy's voice sounds a bit odd, but I like it. The falsettos are higher. Just makes the live version even more special since it's pretty much another song live. Fuckin' round of applause to Mutt Lange goddamn. He's what Muse needed. Quoted for truth.

jonodillieono Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I believe they are yes, run every hour. I'm not entirely sure - however the Skylink (I believe) goes just outside Donington Park, literally just outside it. EDIT: On Maps on each step it should give you a link to the website of the company doing each transport run, so that should be able to give you exact times Manchester to Nottingham train (£5), Skylink to Donington Park (£3.40), Skylink from Donington Park to Leicester (£7), Leicester to Manchester on coach (£5) So so so tempting. Is the bus stop you're talking about at the very west part of the airport near the car park? If so I think I've got it sorted if I go, just need to find out where to go when I get off the bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatchHellBlues Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm glad they used distorted vocals. Sooo good. I've just done a quick version, sounded pretty good with the 'hooligan' vocals too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The production, instrumentation and Matt's flawless vocal delivery really take the songs we've heard so far to another level. I much prefer Mercy live, particularly the Jools Holland performance I'm not a massive fan of the layered chorus vocal that is more prominent on the studio version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
