That Little Animal Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The Void Algorithm The Dark Side Break It To Me Pressure Propaganda Blockades —————— Dig Down (up from the bottom, it fits really well in the album for some reason) Thought Contagion Something Human Get Up And Fight (dropped like a brick after initially thinking it was ok) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyo2004 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 So... First 10/20 loops. Sincerely a good start for the new album. AWWW YEAH... Algorithm The Dark Side Pressure Blockades The Void Awesome / Great: Propaganda Break It To Me Algorithm (AR) Good / Decent: Thought Contagion The Dark Side (AR) Propaganda (Acoustic) Dig Down (Gospel) Meh Something Human (Acoustic) F Tier... Something Human Get Up And Fight Dig Down 8/10 at the moment. GUaF is an instant pass just hearing the first bits... Eww. Dig Down had almost two years to convince me and nope... The gospel version fared a lot better. And Something Human never catch me either versions... But I'll give points to the acoustic because is a little bit better. BTW, anyone who pre-ordered the Super Deluxe version in the US store was put on backorder (apart from me)?... Hating so much Warner US and their sloppy store... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man_In_Showbiz Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 After a couple of listens, TDS is still the best song (geniunely a top 10 muse track for me) but there are some bloody good songs on this album. Highlights so far: Blockade solo Last minute of Propaganda Algorithm Intro (needs to be the new gig opener) I think TC struggles with having been out for so long already.

shostakobitch Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 crying but the bipolar part of me would have left something human off this fucking album and just played it for elle before the succ. doesn’t fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychosaff Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 So, after a few listens: Algorithm Blockades Break It To Me The Void Propaganda The Dark Side Pressure Thought Contagion Get Up and Fight Something Human Dig Down The other versions are way better than the originals, except the Alt version of Algorithm.

droneattack Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Dig Down is the worst track on this album. And I'm a defender of GUAF yeaa!! i dont mind GUAF as well and i'm a metal head edit: it's the intro and verse that is hard to listen but pre chorus and chorus i think it's awesome and come on that falsetto !!!

droneattack Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 the arpeggios on the chorus after "seize fight for your life" reminded me so much of dragon ball Z Opening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I forgot to mention this pre-release but now I will. Anyone remember the intagram post Matt made of him having some alter his tone/distortion to be sharper while he does a sustained descending line on the guitar. What song did that end up being in? I don't recall it ever. Seemed like it would be a slow build intro but I don't hear it anywhere. This one? Dig Down! The second half of the first verse - can kinda hear it better when they play it live. It's not exactly what he's playing there but the Dig Down line goes down the G Mixolydian scale which he's doing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxomflirter Queef Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Not hating GUAF as much as I hated the shitty songs of other albums, e.g. big freeze, guiding light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxomflirter Queef Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 ... probably cause the equivalent is dig down and I had already banned it from my brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reapers Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Get up and Fight reminds me of a shite pop song by a female artist (ie. Taylor Swift) Break it to me also sounds like something you hear on the radio every day. Except it's actually really good. They should have released this as a single. I think it would have appealed to a wider audience and done well in the chart, which is the exact reason why Matt included Timberland on this album. I'd be interested to know which song he actually assisted them with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I don't get why Dig Down is getting so much hate I love this record but it’s my least fave eeeasily just ‘cos it’s pretty dull. Just feels quite auto-pilot, especially considering how mad most of the record is. Don’t hate it though, it’s not awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topo_musero Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I don't get why Dig Down is getting so much hate I just dislike the wub,wub,wub in the background and that is pretty much in all the song . I like the rest of the album though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueEyedFloozy Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Probably the odd sudden spurt of “FLOOOOOZY” too I’m gonna be a mess at gigs Whoops, sorry 'bout that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueEyedFloozy Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 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. For me it's Pressure up a bracket (it makes me feel bouncy and happy) and Propaganda down with GUFF (never did like Prince) but otherwise yup.

funkadelic Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 This is the first album in ages where I feel like every song is more enjoyable when you listen to the whole thing rather than listening to them individually. It makes me really happy to be able to say that because I thought at most there would be a few I'd love and the rest I'd ignore. Muse making a song like GUAF is something I've always dreaded, but at least it isn't another Guiding Light or Mercy I guess. I love weird and sleazy pop Muse, so I really like Propaganda and BITM. Also thought the use of piano with the synthwave sound was great, and I wish they'd explored that more. Well done Muse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkadelic Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I've only heard Blockades twice but there was a section that instantly reminded me of Map. Not once during any of the 100+ times that I've listened to TDS has it even even come close to reminding me of Map. It's like saying Red Ferrari and a Red Corvette are similar because they're red sports cars. The tone of those two songs is so far off from one another its a ridiculous comparison. Dom's drumming in Blockades kinda reminds me of Map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Listened to it a few times. I'd say it comfortably sits in the gap between "the big 3" and Drones/Resistance for me. Can't wait to hear those songs live. Reeaaaally hope they really try this time to properly work on the setlist as it could be quite a spectacle if they get some older songs that fit the theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamyana Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 For me it's quite okay too, I really don't have any skip songs on this album ME TOO! It's great. With all the shitty pop included Get Up and Fight gives me Grimes vibes (and I like Grimes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
