Hat Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Somehow I doubt there will be a dubstep drop in Break It To Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Video for unboxing the vinyl deluxe set posted on YouTube You can slightly see some lyrics from GUaF so the "boxset" is basically a big ass book that houses all of the content? interesting. ----- on another note (pardon the pun, as you'll see), Tove Lo had to sing "extremely high notes" on GUAF b/c matt couldn't get that high? i did not know this. wtf kind of notes might they be? question: what is the highest note that matt has hit live w/in the last three years or so? anyone have any intel on that?

Don't think it it ever said "extremely" high note or that Matt couldn't get that high. He said that he couldn't get that high without screaming, which was why he wanted someone with a higher placed voice to do it. Could be anything between A4 up to A5 I guess, but probably not above like F5 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 It's most definitely not in the 6th octave. Matt can't get that high on command even when screaming. Consistently sung chest A4s and Bb4s are enough for Matt to tap out. And I doubt the plan was ever to have him try and sing in Micro Cuts like pitches. Feels like they would just lower it an octave if that was the case. And yes Matt has technically "reached" the 6th octave by yelping. But even that's not screaming to a specific melody. Very different to go "WOOOH" than to actually recreate melodies and actual words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Maybe, but I also feel like Matt has always been very aware of what he can do live. T2L is really the only album where he went all out and didn't seem to care about how he would do it live. I don't think that many will be lowered personally, but maybe one or two. I think it's more likely that he won't sing very high even in the studio. Morgan is hiding the best range of them all and you know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnage94 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 New review, quite negative. The sentiment is "it's a bit naff for a MUSE album but it wasn't a complete fuck over." Break it To Me seems to sound epic again. https://www.plattentests.de/rezi.php?show=15479 They've also been pretty harsh on every Muse album except OoS and Showbiz (7/10). They gave Abso and BHR same score as this one so doesn't really say anything. What did they say about Break It To Me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get why people think that every reviewer represents the overall opinion of an entire site/magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know German, but by reading it instinctively I think it says it starts as a sort of "Arabian folk dance" and then explodes into a dubstep-like orgy of synths with guitar scratches à la Tom Morello.

carnage94 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yep, you're right. But then again, they've all been pretty negative so far. Really excited to hear Algorithm and Break It To Me as both of those have been praised by pretty much every reviewer, but on the other hand pretty sad no one really mentioned Blockades.

Hat Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yeah by the sounds of it Blockades is a very stereotypical Muse song, which means that it's pretty forgettable in comparison to the rest (for reviewers at least). I'm sure loads of fans will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I've never really cared about music reviews in terms of scores. Particularly with Muse, I just like to get more hints about what the new songs sound like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drksid3 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I know, I know, it's them again but look: Algorithm lyrics in the comments, what we already knew and then a new line:"reload / crash out". I have no idea what the lock emoji is supposed to mean but more lyrics might be revealed? Also the video is rad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginOfAbso Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I just really don't like that it seems the entire album is going to be in the same vein as the released tracks, in terms of very simple, straightforward structures. Because these days Muse have shown that that usually means overly repetitive/boring. Pressure was one of the songs with high hopes for me and I haven't had a single urge to listen to it again after like the second day it was out. And I like The Dark Side a lot, but a year from now (or less) I doubt I'm going to be listening to it much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the video is rad Honestly, I think it’s just best to not get too invested or try to read into owt like that that they put. We know they don’t have any inside source or info that no one else has access to. Unless that’s suddenly changed, which is unlikely, but even still, they’re just doing the same thing they’ve been doing for the whole build up.

Eh, not really. They posted the ones we’d roughly deciphered and he corrected a couple of bits. He’s not using them as a means of revealing stuff.
