jonisdead Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Eh, your opinion against mine. I love drumming to this song and love how it progresses into jazz with the organ from the intro. That breakdown was the most yawn-worthy thing Muse had done up to that point if you exclude the general buildup of Showbiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercy sounds nothing like jazz at all and unless your referring to a different track, neither do they lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainer219 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Don't really hear any Stockholm Syndrome in Mercy, unless you're referring to arpeggios, which SS has in the chorus Yeah, I meant the arpeggios as well. The constant bass drum kicking and crashing, the heavy distorted bass. There's definitely SS in there for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyndris Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Mercy sounds nothing like jazz at all and unless your referring to a different track, neither do they lol He means the shuffle-type drumming during the soft part of the break down of Unnatural Selection. I agree it's hardly jazz though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say jazz, i don't mean bebop jazz. I mean elements of jazz, so lengthy chords, swing, improvising. It's definitely got jazz in there.

Zepp Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The playback is not only in the last chorus, I think I hear Matt's chest voice supporting his falsetto each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maneachicken Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Best bit is the ending IMO - that swirl of synths with the lock of guitar bass and drums should've been built as the bridge and repeated at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum IV Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Not sure how I feel about this yet. Sounds like a mixture of Tits and NSC, and the piano part seems influenced by Sia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmg811Vj3zU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 You ignored my point tho. I was saying doing the same with this album won't be as disappointing because Mutt's production job is stellar and will bring out the best out of each track here, whereas the production wasn't on the same level with T2L. I guess I don't agree with your point. Just because they aren't self-producing means I'm not going to give myself unreasonable expectations of how the song 'should' sound after hearing the live version? Mutt's not some miracle worker who knows what I personally like in a song. No matter how good the final production, my brain has already locked in to how the song should sound, and with T2L I found hearing the actual ones a bit jarring after that; not necessarily because they were worse (except the first "follow me" in FM after the drop was) but just because they were different and I was dealing with my brain trying to adapt to that while trying to absorb the real song for the first time, at the same time.

Gwyn Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 To anyone who hasn't heard it and who might be interested in my opinion, Mercy sounds like a mixture of Starlight (verses, although it's much rockier and the lyrics are much darker than Starlight) and Follow Me (chorus). As a comparison, I thought Dead Inside sounded like 40% Undisclosed Desires, 40% Madness, 20% Supermassive Black Hole (not sure why - the funkiness I guess, and the fact that it's much heavier than the other two).

Tobiiiaaas Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think Mercy sounds 95% like a song made up of instruments and vocals and 5% synths and other technical stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
