James91 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I would like to carry the weight of this song on my shoulders & defend it to the grave. The only shocking thing about this song is the hate it's getting. I honestly don't get it! It's grown on me but if I had to spend the rest of my life with it on my shoulders I don't think I'd have the strength or the soul to do anything but grow to revolt it all over again.

serpentsatellite Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I found myself feeling nervous when this song rolled around. I'm disappointed; it's actually super good. Made my dried up old lady heart actually feel a little happy for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made my dried up old lady heart actually feel a little happy for a few minutes. Haha exactly how I felt! All the hate had me very concerned and then I was like "Am I listening to the same song as everyone else?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Haha exactly how I felt! All the hate had me very concerned and then I was like "Am I listening to the same song as everyone else?" My boyfriend managed to listen to this entire album before me (although he still usually claims to be only "meh" about Muse...) and he's been pestering me to listen to this one for days. I asked him why, and told him the general response to this was it was somewhere between an affront to nature and a shit in the ears, and he actually didn't believe me. I had to show him. It's actually been a really fun experience talking about all the songs with him one at a time. (I forced him to listen to Psycho before me, and tell me how disappointed I would be. Don't know why I trust him, as he loves Survival.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit the first time I heard it I was like... . But, now, I took an exam in the morning, and I've found myself playing Revolt in repeat. It makes me happy and confident. I can revolt!

serpentsatellite Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It's Big Freeze level happy, but I find Big Freeze annoys the piss out of me if I'm not already happy. I had a shit day and, well, a shit night, and Revolt actually made me feel good... I'm rather impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrillzzz1109 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I have always liked Big Freeze, but that has always been a guilty pleasure (same with Guiding Light). I genuinely like this song, just because I think it's actually good. It's fun and think it will be damn good live as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand Big Freeze, for example, it's too... U2. It's not that I don't like U2, but they let their music influences take their song. Revolt sounds like "happy"-Muse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I didn't really read the board, or any fan reactions, after TR came out, because I was dealing with a very different sort of job at the time, and had almost no down time. My first listen, I distinctly remember thinking Exo was amazing, but felt like an EP tacked onto the album; UD was good (and grew on me as time went on,) and GL was pretty amazing. The rest a bit "meh." I thought the GL hate was an injoke I didn't get, at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chryse Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 After letting this song sorta marinate over the past few days, I've come to really enjoy listening to it. I just love the way they used different effects and samples like the police siren that plays in the background, even morphing with the tempo change. Plus that chorus, so infectious.

Gnossienne Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) There was a little cover of this song on Russian late-night talk show on Channel One yesterday. I mean... the album hasn't been officially released here yet.) It's Russia guys Edited June 6, 2015 by Gnossienne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalvaBlanco Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 You know how sometimes you really want to like a song, but just don't? This has the opposite effect on me It's just too infectious, helllp. I didn't think they'd ever dabble into the Uplifting American High School Pop Punk genre, but there we go. It's certainly not bad for what it is, but I'm not too keen on "what it is".

hyper_chondriac_muser Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Lyric video for this is coming on Monday, according to Dom. He said they've pretty much made them for every song on the album but they still have to record one for The Globalist I'm expecting the video for this to be as cringeworthy as the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-FutureStar- Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 This song is greaaaat! I never want to put it on but when it comes up I just wanna dance and yell 'YOU CAN REVOOOLT'. It lifts my mood so much as well. Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjartrod Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Another positive vote for this song. Currently in my top 3 of Drones, alongside The Handler and Reapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henners Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Was walking along earlier with this song stuck in my head. I thought 'fuck', maybe I was wrong about Revolt. Then I realised it was Defector I had stuck in my head, not Revolt. Thus Revolt went from being a let down, to dope, then back to being a massive let down in the space of a few seconds. Extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Problematique Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Day 5. I was starting to kinda like Revolt, it was a really strange feeling. Then, I listened to OoS and now that feeling is gone. Vanished. This song is hilariously disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
