Citizen Erased 01 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'm just worried about the cohesiveness of the whole thing now. I love it, I just don't understand why all of these songs (production wise) sound like they were made in different eras. I kind of agree with this, it almost seems like a best of album in a way. I'm not complaining though, because they're all fantastic tracks, but each sort of feels like they belong to a different previous album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Maybe to the first live performance, but not the official release By that point I reckon most boardies had listened to the live version a bunch of times and allowed it to grow in them. There were still a few whinging that it was bad etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is there a hint of omega grand boss in the riff? not too familiar with that version of Assassin so might be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonizedmind Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 This song is so good (expect the solo maybe). This shows again what they can do and show why muse is my favorite band by far. Yes, but it gives them room in a live environment to play around on the bridge section, I'm sure Matt will improv bits there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borodaddy Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Listen to Showbiz from 4 mins 17 seconds, then The Handler from 3 minutes 20 seconds. Same bass line. I feel like normally I would accuse them of having run out of ideas, but this is exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's got to be a stylistic choice more than anything haha, but I hadn't noticed and that's pretty cool imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodNeverPaid Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It's interesting when you think of that: Psycho-pre Showbiz Dead Inside-T2L Mercy-BH&R Reapers-Dead Star The Handler-Absolution Spot on... Except Psycho is a little bit more... I don't wanna say soft but "less aggressive" than what they did around and before Showbiz. An example could be Agitated. This is probably due to Mutt's influence and Matt's stylistic and vocal changes. But the general sound and use of instruments is definitely from that era. Perhaps Psycho's era is "Drones"?

colonizedmind Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 We should just been please at all these nods to the really early stuff is a positive sign that they might start playing a few more of them! When's the last time Showbiz was played? 2006? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessicaSarahS Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Not getting the hype so far. Reapers is way better They're both pretty equal to me so far. The Handler has a slight edge at the moment because it's new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altbecky Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 My only complaint is that the vocals seem to be very very low in the mix. Id like that falsetto to be a little more front and center in a couple places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwingsrock Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 There's better rock singers out there than Matt. There are surely better guitar players. But youd be hard pressed to find a better guitar player lead singer overall badass. The ridiculously strong falsettos with the crazy guitar riffage of this song......damn.
