kueller Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Well, fuck. Now I feel embarrassed for vouching for MuseFrance. Honestly I've seen a lot of good people whose opinions I greatly respect on here that still made really dumb comparisons when hearing songs early. At this point I think I would do the same. I like what I hear of Propaganda even though that one part is... odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topo_musero Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I actually think that Propaganda bit sounds really promising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man_In_Showbiz Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 It sounds a bit tribal as someone has already alluded to. It could be the track that was being recorded when this pic was taken? Maybe it's my mind playing tricks, but I'm sure there was an interview with Dom around that time too where he said that Matt was going to be adding a guitar solo? Anyways, the little snippet sounds promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I feel like any Muse song immediately becomes better with a decent amount of soft moany falsetto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 We’ve literally got 15 seconds of a vocal melody and I already can’t stop singing it, I am already v much down for the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titoufou17 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Well, fuck. Now I feel embarrassed for vouching for MuseFrance. To be honest when the extract was played, we couln't heard very well with all the clapping (and it was not played very loudly). And it was not even teased before. Nagui didn't said "and now we are going to listen to propaganda", so it was very strange and the end of the extract seemed to be an heavy military drum when we listenned it We knew that it was an extract of propaganda after it was played.

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) It sounds a bit tribal as someone has already alluded to. It could be the track that was being recorded when this pic was taken? Maybe it's my mind playing tricks, but I'm sure there was an interview with Dom around that time too where he said that Matt was going to be adding a guitar solo? Anyways, the little snippet sounds promising. He said it was "a big guitar riff", so maybe the song will take off from the snippet we heard onwards. EDIT: Wait... Seems there may be guitar doubling that acid synth going on in the chorus. Or am I mistaken?

Man_In_Showbiz Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've listed to the clip a few more times and I'm loving what I can hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 That "pseudo-chorus" doesn't convince me, though. Other than being the title of the song repeated on and on, the way it's rhytmhically processed makes it too similar to Madness. But I can dig the overall sound: the verse strikes me like MK Jam and Monty Jam rolled into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I’d say it’s only really similar to Madness if you want it to be similar. Yeah the beginning of the word is repeated, but that’s about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Idk whether that even is the chorus tbh. Could easily be a pre-chorus with how the last ‘propaganda’ line and instrumental sounds like it might be dipping to go into something bigger, who knows though. Does anyone roughly remember when track lengths come out/leak? Just curious to see them given how short the record’s shaping up so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 You can make same point about DD, can't you? With the bassline and such, I mean. I'd argue that the bassline in Dig Down is a lot more similar to Madness than the vocals in Propaganda are to Madness. Not to mention that the bassline isn't the only similarity between the two songs. But we've only heard like 20-30 seconds of Propaganda so far so hey, maybe it turns out to be super similar to Madness, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've only heard like 20-30 seconds of Propaganda so far so hey, maybe it turns out to be super similar to Madness, who knows? Hopefully it won't, since it really sounds like its atmosphere is basically begging for a guitaristic explosion of some kind, probably with a signature Muse riff in Dmin.

Hopix Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'm hoping there's heavy palm muting going on in that repeaty bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'm hoping there's heavy palm muting going on in that repeaty bit. Me too. Also, even if it's slightly OT, I have a feeling a good chunk of the synth parts we hear in the songs we have so far are actually played with a guitar running through a GR-55 or similar, like we saw in that IG post showing Matt playing the DR Manson.

Clunge Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Oh man, I kind of love that. I love the sludgy, stompy, tribal feel and the ridiculously OTT robo voice. The little snippet of vocal you hear right at the end reminds me of the vocal delivery in Sign Of The Times. Dare I say it's also a bit NIN/Gary Numan even early nu-metal, sort of Hybrid Theory/Meteora vibe. That chorus though sounds ripe for some srs beefing up live too.

OriginOfAbso Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I love the first half of the clip but I have a feeling I'm gonna end up kinda hating that next part. It just doesn't sound musical at all. But it's hard to tell if there is anything else going on during it. Knowing Muse recently, I'm sure that part will repeat like 4 or 5 times throughout the song.

Hopix Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'm doubting we get a song longer than 4 minutes at this point Looking at the existing track lengths, and the fact they crammed 5 extra songs on the special edition's one CD, I agree.

kueller Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I think Pressure was already overstaying its welcome so I'll be glad to get shorter songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same (apart from the Pressure thing), mainly brought on by some of Drones feeling too long tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenbanana Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 oh for fuck's sake, that propapropapropapropaganda thing is horrible i originally thought it was a beefy synth bass or palm-muted guitar, why couldn't it have just been one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 TC 3:26 SH 3:47 TDS 3:47 DD 3:48 Pressure 3:56 They're all short I guess for Muse on average, but then, I'd say all of them could have done with being tightened up by 30 seconds or so. TC doesn't deserve to be more than 2:00 tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
