Jobby Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Seems that Propaganda may be coming next week. Lance just liked a comment on Instagram (someone saying "does October 23 mean something for music"). He did the same with my Dark Side comment the day before it came out, when I asked. Huh, surprised if so but I guess it wouldn’t be the first time Matt’s been a smidge off with their plans. Weird for their to be no talk/promo for it just 2 days before it’s apparent release though? Either way, club gigs announcement on the same day pls thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM220 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 New Q magazine UK interview came out and none of us realized. Nothing much, just a confirmation that Get Up and Fight is "sophisticated pop" and Simulation Theory is MUSEs "most unguitary and experimental album yet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM220 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Oh yes and also on Propaganda Timbaland adds "percussive swing" (the author wrote pressure by accident - obviously) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpHxATvAyPx/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1wtj98custgmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I feel like it would've surfaced by now, but in case I missed it, is there a credit for Timbaland on Pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyjackk Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Simulation Theory is MUSEs "most unguitary and experimental album yet" Very interesting this given that the five songs we've had so far have all had prominent guitar lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Very interesting this given that the five songs we've had so far have all had prominent guitar lines. Thought Contagion, SH and Pressure? Yes. TDS and DD? Not so much, beside the solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Thought Contagion, SH and Pressure? Yes. TDS and DD? Not so much, beside the solos. TDS has guitar in the intro, choruses and the breaks between chorus and verse alongside the solo. Is it complex? No. Is it there? Yes. Same with Dig Down. Sustainer in the first verse, arpeggios second verse, solo and then the out-chorus thing. Not complicated sure but still there and still decently prominent.

Wouldn't call them guitar lines just because he uses the guitar though. The Dark Side is literally just individual chords that he hits with several seconds inbetween them. And just to clarify, this is just the author's perception of things. I can definitely agree that while songs like Something Human and The Dark Side have guitar, they don't feel very guitar-y. Like, it's definitely not the lead instruments unlike the majority of Muse's output. The author says that it's their most unguitary album yet, not that the album doesn't have guitar.

Fair point - everyone's going to define things in their own way. Tough to know whether they mean guitar-y as in riff based songs like an Agitated or an Assassin, or just songs with guitar featuring in them.

Jobby Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 By the sounds of it, Blockades might be the only other song left even close to traditional Muse guitar/bass/drums then. Exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to know whether they mean guitar-y as in riff based songs like an Agitated or an Assassin, or just songs with guitar featuring in them. I'm sure it's the first one. That means that ST won't be riff-based at the same level of Drones, which is something we somewhat already knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Well what he's saying is that it won't be riff based on the same level as ANY previous Muse album. Which also isn't that hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Could be, I feel like there’d be at least some social media teasing if it were a song of any kind though. Whereas with gigs, it’s actually pretty common for them to just drop them out of nowhere. Getting to around that crunch time where we see pre-release small shows as well. Drones: release 6th of June, gigs March-May (outlier this tbf) T2L: release 1st of October, E-Werk on 20th of September TR: release 14th of September, small gigs on the 7th and 8th BH&R: release 3rd of July, SBE on 28th of June Abso: release 29th of September, small gigs on 3rd, 5th and 10th Edited October 22, 2018 by Jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they would tease with gig dates to the point where they actually put it in a video, but hey, they've done stranger things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Doubt they would tease with gig dates to the point where they actually put it in a video, but hey, they've done stranger things! I’d say the same but it’s been so consistent of them to share screenshots and stuff for the vids before a song release across this era, even for NKOK. So I can’t see it being a song and ST would be their first album as a big time band to not have some kind of pre-release small show if not... so I think it either has to be nothing or a gig(s) imo, maybe if it’s a by request or has something special about it, they’d see that as worthy of putting in a wee hint in advance for and we all know I’ve never gotten ahead of myself and been wrong before Edit: I forgot the Reeperbahn gig but still, a small gig of their own if ya get me Edited October 22, 2018 by Jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I thought Matt or someone literally said already that the 23rd thing was just a poster for an event at the school, weeks ago. A blood drive is not even remotely relevant to propaganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Don't think there's gonna be any more small gigs this year How come? I mean, I genuinely know I have a penchant for getting carried away but given that they’ve always done some small gigs around a new album release, their schedule is weirdly empty until next year, the band themselves saying at some point during the build up that they’d do some ‘smaller shows’ like usual and (more tenuously ‘cos he could’ve been taking the piss or wrong if not) Fabri saying he’s heard of a small show in Italy before the end of the year he thinks might be Muse...
