LucasWay89 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Man, I seriously cried when I read this while listening to the song. I'm so sorry for your loss. Just message me if you need someone to talk Thanks buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The guitar intro feels very inspired by U2's One imo, which I think was mentioned in a bunch of the reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased 01 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've cried every time I've listened to it for this. I lost the love of my life in August and she was as big as Muse fan as I, I genuinely think this would have been our first dance. (Though it may have taken some convincing, she was dead set on Starlight). I don't know whether to love or hate the song for getting that reaction from me. I'm incredibly sorry to hear that, Aftermath is a beautiful song and it made me cry for similar reasons. There are loads of great people who are up for a chat if you need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads of great people who are up for a chat if you need it I think this song really hits the core of people who are really sentimental (like myself), and those that aren't as much just think, wow what cheese. Nothing to chat about really unless one of you has been secretly working on the cure for death. But thanks nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyracer Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It works incredibly well where it is placed on the album though, even instrumentally it feels like the 'credits' song of a story really. Whic is a nice change to putting a song like this in the middle of an album like they did on BH&R and TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to have a quiet break from an otherwise incredibly loud album (especially Defector and Revolt). It works as a breather if nothing else.

denise3112 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 This song is beautiful. Reminds me of Invincible, and the guitar solo is stunning, really elegant and melodic. Helps to give a balanced album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spark_ Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 They really should have made this more like Blackout, would have worked brilliantly then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denise3112 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 good god it's five times better than Invincible just my opinion of course I did not give it a rating against Invincible, either better or worse! It'll need some time to settle anyway to see if its a 'sticker'. What I like in Invincible are the simplicity and the words. People together being invincible, that sort of stuff which sounds authentic to me and not cheesy. (I don't like cheese but it's a fine line of course...) not sure the about the lyrics of Aftermath yet. But love the melody and esp love the guitar solo.

TheAlex Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Ok I need to share this... At first I was like "what the fuck, muse is now a "heal the world" kind of band... Then I just listened to it right now and, for the first time with a muse song, I was struck with a feeling of happiness and hope, and I love that. Now I can actually say that the album is brillant!

BigGeorge Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The last bit that no one seems to like reminds me of Sailing, which happens to be one of the few Rod Stewart songs I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomesickSubterranean Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Ugh still very mixed on this song. Guitar work and tone is beautiful, but the whole thing (especially the final chorus) sounds like Christian Rock. It's like I've heard that chorus melody a million times before. If it was a piano instrumental, I definitely listen to it though, that suits it best.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiaMuse Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Do you think Matt will be able to play all the guitar parts while singing? Or some of it be a Morgan job? Some of them seem quite subtly fiddly to play at the same time as singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if so, I think that is absolutely OK considering that with every new album Muse songs are more and more problematic to be played live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Even if so, I think that is absolutely OK considering that with every new album Muse songs are more and more problematic to be played live So you'd be okay with Muse just giving up playing live at all for their 8th album?

Wilfred Desert Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 So you'd be okay with Muse just giving up playing live at all for their 8th album? I did not say that. What I mean is that (in my humble opinion) it's no crime that several parts of the songs will be delegated to Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
