That Little Animal Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I'm not too excited about the vid, the narrative, visuals and song mean very little to me and everyone in it looks like a model trying to act. A big pile of LA fakeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user0e507dded9 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Track has been moved up on Radio 1's playlist from the 15/06/2015. So expect roughly 25 plays next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The part around 2:25 where Matt gives his best Falsetto probably since Bliss at Earls Court 2004.Very, very much disagreed. I mean first of all I don't even think it's better than some of the Bliss falsettos that came after Earls Court 2004, like Live 8 2005 and Shepherds Bush 2006.

serpentsatellite Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Am I remembering incorrectly, or didn't it come to light that that "best" falsetto at Live 8 wasn't even really from that broadcast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The one in Mercy at 2:25 is one of my least favourite falsettos I've heard Matt sing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, we never figured that out what exactly it was, but it was just about one second of the falsetto that was in question anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjartrod Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 There's nothing on the song that requires the protagonist to be male, if I recall correctly. It's pretty ambiguous regarding that. Well funnily enough, Matt just said last night on Xposure that he often imagines the protagonist as a female lol I don't know how serious he was, given this was right after being asked whether the story's protagonist had a name, and he kinda dodged the question, but there you go. He said she could be called.. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unidentifiable Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The one in Mercy at 2:25 is one of my least favourite falsettos I've heard Matt sing... Agreed, especially as he sounds like he's saying "Mersey" instead of "mercy". This and Psycho are the least interesting songs on the album (and they're still alright). Revolt is definitely better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibros Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Handler's falsetto on "from you" is the best on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Handler's falsetto on "from you" is the best on the album. In terms of power falsetto the album seems lacking. The Reapers falsetto just before the pre-chorus has potential but it's too short. Edited June 11, 2015 by Hopix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reapers falsetto just before the pre-chorus has potential but it's to short. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tneePzkfSh8&t=3m20s And The Globalist has some nice stuff going on in the background at 5.40.

FabriPav Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tneePzkfSh8&t=3m20s It sounds so autotuned/effected in general to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyonco10 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Just heard Mercy on the commercial for the new Batman video game and got pretty psyched, seemed pretty quick for it to be on the tv commercial circuit but i'll take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 It sounds so autotuned/effected in general to me. Agreed, there's something really too perfect about the pitch; I doubt Matt sings that spot on at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthijs Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 And I doubt Mutt's 1000 takes for everything would've lead to a pitch perfect result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
