rainer219 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 The bass in the pre-chorus is just fantastic. Probably some of my favorite from Chris ever. My favorite moment in the song is probably that second chorus when Matt takes a breath and belts out that falsetto. That prechorus makes the song unique, imo. What's going on in there, musically, anybody know? Is it semitonal stuff? The bassline really creates the mystifying atmosphere there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerathios Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Damn, this song is SO HEAVY! Haven't been this excited for a Muse song in a long time! The album can't come fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly sounds like some Tim Burton music like from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or something - not the oompa loompa songs, but the actual theme music, particularly at the end when the spoilt kids walk out of the factory. This is probably the first time Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been brought up relating to Muse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely listen to Castlevania themes and stuff because it definitely sounds like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Only just had chance to listen, on holiday in some woods so I had to walk for ages to find a signal of any kind It's decent, I guess. Don't really see the hype atm. Not really that heavy either. I probably need to give it a couple more listens yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it needs a decent set of speakers to really hear and feel the bass, I would imagine that a phone might not have quite the same effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone speakers just don't compare lol Trust me - well I clearly say this subjectively - it's much better than what you think it is through phone speakers. In full experience with headphones or good earphones or a good sound system, it's like the baby of Muse, Royal Blood and Nirvana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased 01 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 someone mentioned at one point that the outro is sort of similar to DI, I agree and think the contrast between the two songs is even more obvious because of the slight similarity (the guitar chords). Not sure if that was intentional but I fucking love it, adds more dimension to each track imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainer219 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I made tabs for that melodic bass part if anyone interested... Amazing... THANK YOU!!

You seem hard to please haha Switches between Assassin, MOTP and TAB. At the moment, it's Assassin. The Hanlder probably wouldn't make my top 40 atm. I've liked every song from the new album to at least some degree other than Mercy, so I can't be that hard to please I just think that The Handler gets a bit dull as soon as the solo starts.

Fair enough. Hey, TaB is my all-time favourite Muse song, so kudos to you for that haha Yeah, I thought the In Your World-esque solo was a tad anticlimactic - or perhaps it was a bit too busy for me? That's the only part of the song that would make it a 9/10 and not a 10/10 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
