Jobby Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Only thing with that is the name comes from passing it through specifically a two word solver, surely it could be more if you widen the parameters? Simulation Theory/Hypothesis is a thing, it’s effectively that Matrix paranoia (everything in life is just a simulation), so it could be that but I’m just wondering. In the same vein, could 2133405057 be a phone number or something? Was trying to read the sign in the clip for any clues or owt and that was the population number. Seemed weirdly high so stood out, maybe nowt. Couldn’t make out any graffiti other than the big ‘infected’ obvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think we can stop looking there. Simulation Theory is pretty much right up Matt's alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man_In_Showbiz Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Apparently Matt has just confirmed 11 songs on the album + 8 acoustic songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Guess we can take Simulation Theory as confirmed title now Presumably Dark Side as next single too? Apparently Matt has just confirmed 11 songs on the album + 8 acoustic songs Gonna have to ask for a source there buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Guess we can take Simulation Theory as confirmed title now Presumably Dark Side as next single too?

Jobby Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Are we sure the 8 acoustic songs aren’t just acoustic versions of the album tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Are we sure the 8 acoustic songs aren’t just acoustic versions of the album tracks? Apparently one of those songs is an acoustic version of Dig Down, so I'm willing to bet they are all acoustic versions of album tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man_In_Showbiz Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Are we sure the 8 acoustic songs aren’t just acoustic versions of the album tracks? That's exactly what they will be. Dreamy versions in Matt's words. He also stated there will be the usual heavy rock in there. Could mean anything but Something Human is the softest side of the album.

Jobby Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Wonder if they’ll be fully reworked like the soft/heavy versions from the OOS days. Well, hoping for that, kinda assuming they’ll just be literal acoustic versions like what we heard in the Insta SH preview. Still, hoping for some piano in that 8. Edit: oh shit no, apparently they are proper ‘alternate versions’ to some extent! Dig Down’s not just acoustic, it’s redone with a gospel choir.

Jobby Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 They should've included one right from the start, IMO. Song would’ve still been dross tbf. Combined with a generally stripped back version sounds a more interesting combination to me. This second disc is gonna be the best thing they’ve done since BH&R - calling it NOW. Stripped back but each version still different as opposed to all standard acoustic, some even ‘ethereal’...fucking SHINE ACOUSTIC VIBES BOYS NNNNGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 18 or 19 tracks, eh? quantity over quality this time around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo eighteen Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 18 or 19 tracks, eh? quantity over quality this time around? No, it'll be 11 tracks, with the majority of them also having acoustic versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 No, it'll be 11 tracks, with the majority of them also having acoustic versions. right, but additional tracks nonetheless... ...though i don't anticipate that i'll be chomping at the bit to hear "acoustic" versions of most of those tracks. time will tell.

Jobby Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Only ‘a couple of small gigs’ around album release but no tour for another 3/4 months in spring 2019? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS8vmUPDvOs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Going from the 3 videos we’ve seen so far, I wouldn’t be surprised if the box set of this album came with a VHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 random instagram fan with a short attention span: "Where's the rock?" Matt's reply: "it's coming. Next track. Let us chill out for a second lol" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I’m starting to get a good vibe about that song. Something slow and ploddy but heavy, like a tonally lighter Handler. Perfect to kick off a club tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganMH Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I'm getting a real sense of deja vu with this project. Overproduced, cringeworthy songs about politics and life on the road, followed by heartfelt acoustic versions to show off catchy songwriting prowess. Hmmmmmm. Got it ! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDi-8dWYGB0#t=01m23s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think you'll be happy to hear this, then, Jobby. They've already revealed the title of the next single: "Pressure". Matt says it will mark a return to the "classic Muse sound".

TheSmallPrint02 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 "Pressure" huh? The question is, will this be connected to literal pressure as in depressurisation, or is it figurative pressure as in how all these 'robots' and 'computers' what have you are pressuring people into doing things... I know that sounds crazy, but it also does kinda fit with the whole Black Mirror thing Matt was talking about. So what was the point of the Dark Side easter egg then? They can't release two singles within the time left can they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Maybe it's the album name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Maybe it's the album name. Nah, it's almost confirmed it's going to be Simulation Theory, which is featured on the VHS Matt has to return in SH video, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
