FabriPav Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 What's wrong with this statement? What I mean is that criticism like "they should have made the chorus in Revolt not as poppy as they did", for example, is fair criticism. Not that Muse shouldn't do what they want. Rather that what they do sometimes can be considered bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I don't trust Pitchfork after this: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15953-mylo-xyloto/ This was a good review though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 This was a good review though. My biggest problem with that album was it seemed way too overproduced. That said I still enjoy it way more than their most recent album... thought it was their worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'm very surprised at how well this album has been received so far. I'm more surprised that it's being reviewed to begin with really, I'd imagine critics wouldn't want to have touched them again after T2L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EscObAR_123 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 There is probably an embargo placed on negative reviews until the album is officially released, like they do with movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark_ Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 There is probably an embargo placed on negative reviews until the album is officially released, like they do with movies. Does this happen with albums at all? I've never heard of this for music before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnolia86 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Does this happen with albums at all? I've never heard of this for music before. For movies, they sometimes place an embargo on all reviews, never just the negative ones. I don't think you can even do that.The thing is, the movies that they do this for are mostly pretty bad.

spark_ Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Yeah I've heard of this for movies and games, but never heard of it for music. Certainly not positive-review-only embargoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henners Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 It's harsh in the fact he's given it a C, in my book that's a 5/10 His job is to give a subjective analysis of the album, not to agree with general consensus. Is it harsh of me to think Green Day are wank? Nope! It's just an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Reading this, with my mouth open in disbelieve! Such a hater!! Still, flashes of that blue spandex suit poke through enough to make this album a decent addition to Muse’s catalog. It will be nice to see some of these songs emancipated from their rigid context and incorporated into the band’s live show, when nobody will really care what Bellamy’s falsettoing about so long as he delivers the sound and the spectacle. And maybe the jaded adult in me is being a bit harsh on Muse’s political aspirations. What they lack in nuance they make up for in enthusiasm, and that’s probably exactly what a 15-year-old kid needs to start giving a shit about the world around him. There’s something to be said for the band that acts as gateway drug, especially when that drug feels like MDMA when taken as directed: inside a stadium filled with thousands of screaming fans. Yeah omg, such a hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumpypotato Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Has Fantano done his review yet? I disagree with him fairly frequently, but he normally has something smart to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Croatian music site. 2.5/5 Says that Muse didn't experiment enough and that songs sound like b-sides of older albums. Best part fore me is when it says for The Globalist: "...begins with Pink Floyd style psychedelic rock and then it transforms into pointless guitar playing..." http://www.muzika.hr/clanak/50813/albumi/kao-b-strane-s-prethodnih-albuma.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
