HystericHandler

Recommended Posts

Hello! Happy new year!!

I have created a survey, 10 questions on Muse, their songs, only for 2015. (sorry for my bad english). My 10 questions are : ( I answer in my opinions)

 

1- Quote 3 songs you have discovered again in 2015 and which remain in head :

- Micro Cuts (due to the live versions)

- Uprising (because I've seen Muse for the 1st time in July, and it means a lot for me)

- Assassin GOB : I used to love it years ago but it comes back

2- 3 songs you used to love but you don't listen to anymore (in 2015):

- Unnatural Selection

- Citizen Erased

- Muscle Museum

 

3- 3 songs you have listened to the most in 2015:

- Hysteria, the best forever

- The Handler, to my mind the best of drones

- Psycho : best "new" song live

 

4- 3 best lives of the year (full show):

- Main Square Festival, 4 Juillet because I was there. (it's the best live of the Handler at least before the drones tour)

- Les vieilles Charrues, because I'm French

- Rock Wechter, because of micro cuts and Citizen.

(-The Mayan for GOB)

 

5- 3 best songs live of the year:

- The come back of Uno

- Apocalypse please

- Psycho, because we jump together when it begins

6- 3 best surprises of the year:

- The psycho UK tour and the ability to play old songs.

- The new stage seems so incredible

- The Handler, Reapers

7- 3 disappointments of 2015:

- They don't follow the psycho UK tour because they seem know only singles and not what the fans want to hear.

- The show are short

- The end of the album Drones : Aftermath should be shorter, I don't really like the end of TG, Revolt...

 

8- 3 importantes dates of the year:

- 12 March : Psycho is resealed, I felt very strange this day!

- 23 March : Big disappointment for Dead Inside because it seems like UD and Madness (I love it now)

- September : I thought I will not able to see them in 2016, but they've added dates in February !

9- 3 wishes for 2016:

- Longer shows

- more old songs for european tour, you can avoid UD.

- I wish that one day they will announce they want to release a new album with B-sides.

 

10- 3 things you'd like to say (10 is better than 9...)

- I hope that Elle will not have bad influence on Matt.

- Butterflies and Hurricanes for Bercy

- Dead Star for Bercy.

6- 3 best surprises of the year:

- Muse tour set up and concept (I cant wait to see The Handler performed live!)

- How awesome is to listen to Muse albums from start to finish instead of listening to selected songs. (you can tell now how amateurish I am hahahah)

 

7- 3 disappointments of 2015:

- no second night in Toronto

- I couldnt get seat tickets on the presale.

9- 3 wishes for 2016:

- Longer shows (hear hear~!)

- - I wish Torontonians give some love to Muse after the jan16 show. I felt so bummed when Quebec got the second night because they sold out first (actually, Toronto never sold out : :mad:

-Drones album made me re-discover muse. I used to have a selection on my computer but now I own all their albums.

2- 3 songs you used to love but you don't listen to anymore (in 2015):

  • Ruled By Secrecy
  • Isolated System

(This is a bit unfair wording, it's not that I like these any less, B&H is still my all time favorite, I just haven't heard them as much)

 

3- 3 songs you have listened to the most in 2015:

  • Dead Inside
  • The Handler
  • Knights of Cydonia

(Purely assumptive, I have no numbers)

 

4- 3 best lives of the year (full show):

Abstaining. Have not watched many concerts.

 

5- 3 best songs live of the year:

  • Psycho
  • The Handler

Can't think of another I've seen in person. Assassin and Reapers looked great.

1- Quote 3 songs you have discovered again in 2015 and which remain in head :

- MK Ultra

- Dark Shines (more or less ignored it for years)

- Ruled by Secrecy

 

2- 3 songs you used to love but you don't listen to anymore (in 2015):

Not sure there's any that I outright don't listen to any more, but I've gone off the following in recent times:

- Plug in Baby

- Explorers

- T2L: Unsustainable

 

3- 3 songs you have listened to the most in 2015:

Probably all songs off of Drones:

- Reapers

- The Handler

- Dead Inside

 

4- 3 best lives of the year (full show):

No idea - didn't go to a show & the only one I watched in full on TV/online was Big Weekend

 

5- 3 best songs live of the year:

- Reapers (can't wait to hear it live in person)

- Bliss (glad to see it more regularly on live sets)

- Psycho

 

6- 3 best surprises of the year:

- Drones in general

- The return of some old favourites on live shows

- Drones (the song) - not my favourite on the album by any means, but I was surprised how good an acapella prayer by Muse could sound

 

7- 3 disappointments of 2015:

- Revolt (sorry)

- The music videos have been a bit crap

- The lack of media recognition/critical acclaim for the new album - I suppose it shouldn't really bother me. It doesn't help that Muse make tracks that often require multiple listens until you appreciate how good the music is. I guess reviewers & casual fans won't give them the time for the songs to grow on them.

 

8- 3 importantes dates of the year:

- Whenever the lyric video for Reapers was released. Before that it was a mixed bag (Dead Inside & Mercy have grown on me a lot, but at the time I wasn't completely convinced)

- Whenever the album was released

- Whenever I bought tickets to see them in April

 

9- 3 wishes for 2016:

I think all of these are pretty unlikely:

- Citizen Erased to be played live when I see them in April (never heard it live)

- A live album release

- Hints of album #8 (I'm a greedy bastard :LOL:)

 

10- 3 things you'd like to say (10 is better than 9...)

- BH&R continues to grow on me year after year. It's their most mature album I think it shows as I grow older that my opinion of the album grows with me.

- Dead Inside is a ridiculously good pop song

- Undisclosed Desries>>>>>>Plug in Baby *runs*

6) 3 best surprises of the year:

 

- The Psycho Tour

- Muse actually followed through on a consistent, 3-piece album

- The lack of shit songs on Drones (Aftermath being the only real out-and-out stinker for me)

 

7) 3 disappointments of 2015:

 

- Gig prices and VIP early entrance

- Arena Tour setlists or the band from October onward

- No Assassin @ Download

 

The Globalist didn't really disappoint me because I knew it'd never live up to the hype/comparisons.

 

8) 3 important dates of the year (I'm assuming we're talking personally here):

 

- Psycho released + Psycho Tour gets announced and goes on-sale

- Manchester Academy gig + met the band

9) 3 wishes for 2016:

 

- BH&R anniversary show(s) or remaster

- Longer shows and more balanced sets, basically stop being lazy you fucks

- To meet the band again and request some songs for the week of London dates (would it be cheeky to request 4?)

 

10) 3 things you'd like to say (like, to the band or):

 

- Bring back the colour, the washed-out, 50 shades of grey look doesn't suit and is boring (this goes for the copious B&W pro-shots too)

- Put as much effort as you can into every gig, don't get complacent and lazy

- Remember the Showbiz for London promise pls

 

(pls)

They have said to a member of Muse France who asked if Showbiz was due to be played :

"Maybe for Bercy and London".

We have to make them remember !

 

If I'm honest, I'd forgotten what was actually said :chuckle: All I know is I heard something about Matt mentioning Showbiz in London to a fan, didn't realise he mentioned Bercy too. Apparently he said soon after (or maybe in the same instance, not sure) that he wasn't sure if he could sing it though.

 

Either way, hopefully it'll pick up and people will start mentioning it closer to the dates. If they play it in Bercy, I'll let myself get excited.

1- Quote 3 songs you have discovered again in 2015 and which remain in head :

- Time is Running Out

- Blackout

- Resistance

2- 3 songs you used to love but you don't listen to anymore (in 2015):

- Citizen Erased

- Hate This And I'll Love You

- Guiding Light

 

3- 3 songs you have listened to the most in 2015:

- The Globalist

- Blackout

- Isolated System

 

4- 3 best lives of the year (full show):

- ? (I don't pay much attention to the live shows anymore; i'm still sore about missing a particular show)

 

5- 3 best songs live of the year:

- Again, i don't know. I heard Uno is good live though.

6- 3 best surprises of the year:

- Older songs coming back

- The new stage design!!

- The Globalist

7- 3 disappointments of 2015:

- Dead Inside, Mercy, Revolt

(Nothing like what I expected them to sound like; still sore about it)

 

8- 3 importantes dates of the year:

- Psycho dropped

- Drones released

- Found out that, of course Atlantic Canada won't be anywhere close to a show. I mean it figures but...merr

9- 3 wishes for 2016:

- Longer shows (attempt to play the Globalist live, or at least part of it?)

- I hope they bring back Bliss again. That was A+

- Less focus on if a single sounds good to a general audience. The beginning of Drones makes this point quite well. Though Psycho is pretty good at avoiding this (it still sounds a bit tailor-made to be a GA single though; just my opinion)

 

10- 3 things you'd like to say (10 is better than 9...)

- I still like Muse.

- Feeling like the experience has lost some of the glamour/old unexpectedness, though

- Atlantic Canada has played host to a lot of different (big) bands. I sound like an asshole rn; I don't care.

Used the quote for my opinions.
