Finn. Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I really want to hear the instrumental version of this. Somehow i think it could work better in the concept of the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_jk Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I don't get the comparrisons. Save Me - Possibly worst Muse song - 1/10 Explorers - Decent song, though verse better than chorus - 7/10 Aftermath - Really beautiful ballad - 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save Me - Possibly worst Muse song - 1/10 Explorers - Decent song, though verse better than chorus - 7/10 Aftermath - Really beautiful ballad - 9/10 All three of these can be considered the ballads/mellow tracks of their respective albums, what is there not to get?

Rizhtrainer Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Aftermath is somewhat cringy. That being said, I'm getting used to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAurelia Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Aftermath is a relaxing song. A good ballad. The strings, are the 'Milan strings' they posted no Instagram? Or are the Milan Strings in The Globalist? Anyway...They sound great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlugInYorkie Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 This song grows on me! Mutt really put his influence into this one and he even does the backing vocals which is nice. I find that this is what they tried go do with Save Me but failed miserably. They got it right this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 The more I listen to it, the more I think this is one of the worst songs they've ever done. In fact, that last chorus might actually be the worst thing they've ever put to record. Matt's vocals sound fucking atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Seriously i can't think nothing more atrocious than Defector vocals, it's like a joke song. The chorus is pretty annoying I can handle the vocals in Defector's verses, they're the fun kind of OTT. I wish they'd written something different for the chorus as opposed to basing it around the main riff. The belted A4s (?) at the end Aftermath are actually kind of painful to listen to though. Everything just sounds like a mess in that last chorus and that last falsetto makes me cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenbanana Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 that last falsetto makes me cringe. It's really weird, isn't it? The enunciation is really bad and it sounds so forced and nasal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftermath, for me, is very easy listening and incredibly relaxing. Defector, on the other hand, kind of hurts my ears :/ it's incredibly loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Problematique Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 The end kinda ruins this song, I really like it until the solo. Despite the great amount of cheese in the chorus, the verses and the guitar work are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somewhat agree, I think the song is brilliant... aside from that last chorus, that should be cut, the guitar solo should be the only prominent feature over that part.

diamond_writer Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I think it's a great song, but yesterday I was thinking that there should be some kind of rough, dark interlude to represent what happens after Revolt and before Aftermath. There needs to be some kind of punch for aftermath to have a greater effect. I guess what I'm saying is that the songs around Aftermath need to be better/different to showcase Aftermath's greatness.

serpentsatellite Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 The beginning of the song does sort of elicit an image of a wind-swept desert, or wasteland, or something, to me. Just something very empty and desolate, and someone coming home from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn. Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm still waiting patiently to hear the instrumental version of this. I think, like Isolated System, that with lyrics works better as a part in the concept of the album, but musically is better instrumental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museic Syndrome Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I came to the conclusion that this song just needed to be one chorus shorter. That last chorus. I hate the fact that Matt just has to 'force' his vocals so often. It's like he believes he needs to prove himself in every song. The song is such a peaceful and calm one, and then those overdramatic high notes just kill it. They really didn't know when 'enough is enough' on this album. There are more songs that suffer from this, like The Globalist and Psycho for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
