Reapers Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I haven't finished listening to it yet but I just had to jump back on here and say that Propaganda is a pile of trash. I never thought I'd hear anything worse than Dig Down on this album. I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I wonder how long it’ll take before we notice that Vuilstamen evolved into that synth lead in Blockades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiT Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Algorythim alternative version is so freaking epic! It feels like Blade Runner epicness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature2 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I wanted Muse to do synthwave for soo damn long. At last! Algorithm is just out of this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 seems like with any new muse album, i enjoy reading about a million comments before giving anything a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGeorge Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I think I'm ready to put the songs into tiers. Fabulous: Algorithm The Void Blockades Propaganda The Dark Side Good: Break It to Me Pressure Thought Contagion Mediocre: Dig Down Something Human No: Get Up and Fight.

topo_musero Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 1 to 5 in this album is the God run. Love every single track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 First 10 seconds of Algorithm sure sound promising. I’ll be back in an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginOfAbso Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I think this is their best work overall since Black Holes, and I was legitimately expecting it to be my least favorite album of theirs. So happy with some of the surprising choices they made on this album. Just REALLY wish Get Up and Fight wasn't on this, really pulls me off. Also I like the song as a whole, but not digging the change in tone at 2:35 in The Void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I think this album might have the best opener since BHaR, and the best closer since TR. I adore Dead Inside but I've always preferred the more atmospheric/epic opening tracks. And I love Isolated System too, I just wish it had vocals from Matt instead of being mostly instrumental.

FearAndPanic Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 You don't listen to Synthwave do you? It sounds like Synthwave/New Retrowave. In every aspect. Only entry level stuff, I get my fill of it from films riding the synth soundtrack hype train. I was just saying the drum beat was similar / similar BPM.

czuczu Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 John Carpenter should be talking to his lawyers about Algorithm. Propaganda has a bit of a Trevor Horn/Art Of Noise vibe in between the Museness. Is Break It To Me a Timbaland one? That makes sense.. GUAF is 2 songs that shouldn't have been glued together. Blockades is Muse by numbers Void is decent. The acoustic mixes are better even if Human is a ringer for Kylie's last big hit Like it, hope loads of details come out while listening to it a bit more.

Nipso Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Propaganda and BITM are the worst things this band have ever done. I actually felt a bit sick listening to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiem1394 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 As with every new album cycle, I cannot wait for the inevitable Pitchfork review. They sure hate Muse, but I find the way they write about them absolutely hysterical and clever. From Drones: "Drones might as well be overlain with Entourage, à la Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon, for the ultimate in critical hate-consumption. Muse’s operatic vocal runs, tablature-bustin’ riffs, and CGI'd production feel unmistakably similar to the way Doug Ellin brandishes yachts, celebrity cameos, and bared breasts. If it’s luxury porn, just own up—we know it when we see it." From T2L: "And titans shall clash as Bellamy speaks with the conviction of a man who is either going to tell us they'll never take our freedom or to release the kraken. With dramatic flair, he intones "your true emancipation is a fantasy," which... OK. But "the time..." Go on. "...it has come," that "it," perfect. "To destrooooyyyyyy..." Destroy what? Make sure you put your drink down as Bellamy screams "YOUR SUPREMACYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!" because all of a sudden having The 2nd Law only in audio form feels pathetically inadequate-- next time you will place it against footage from Starship Troopers, although the closest visual equivalent to this batshit moment is a dinosaur with a cowboy hat manning a F-15 and blowing evil aliens to bits while scoring the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl."

confusedyoungman Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Propaganda works brilliantly, fantastic progression. I understand why people don't like BITM but it's just so weird and brilliant. Nothing cringe at all, even the "baby", it just works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topo_musero Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Propaganda is great tho. It's dope. Can't get it out of my head. I've just listened the alternate versions. DD, TDS and Algorithm versions are actually awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3ker Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 So far i'm rather pleasantly surprised, considering my initial expectations. I'm very happy that the band seems to finally have commited to a group of textures and aesthetics. I'm surprised with how much I love Propaganda. There are tracks I'm not a fan of, but I appreciate the record as a whole. Probably the best since TR, perhaps TR included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
