Just curious. Is anyone still listening to this album?

I put some of my favorite songs on various Spotify playlists, so I still hear those songs, but I haven't listened to the whole thing in months. 

Nope.

I wonder why Something human got dropped off the setlist. I love this song! I wished to hear the accoustic version live, it‘s good on record but just imagine it on the small stage 😎 

the songs I still can‘t listen on it are Guaf and Propaganda. Fun live, but on record hm ..

My faves are still Algorithm, Dark side, Something human and The Void

So, since some  people here were convinced that the album would fall out of favor after some time, let me just do my part and say that it still stands firmly in my #3 spot for albums. The whole thing(minus GUAF and DD) absolutely slaps.

It turned me into a Muser so I can only agree.

Break It To Me is in my top 5 Muse songs!
I absolutely love this song! That chorus wins me everytime I listen to the song.

You know, I just listened to Simulation Theory for the first time in a little while yesterday, and today I thought I'd put on the alternate reality mix for the first time in even longer. I think a lot of the alternate reality versions are actually better than what made the record, and I love what made the record! Algorithms especially is just so much more dramatic as an alternate reality mix, and Pressure with the USC band is so much less stiff than the studio version. I also really appreciate that Muse mostly stayed out of the way of the band on that version of the track because they knew the USC band could carry it so well on their own. The Dark Side is also very HCM like with just Matt and the piano.

Even the Break It To Me remix is surprisingly good. This one is probably better on the first record, but I've heard much worse Muse remixes before.

Oh that's weird. I probably noticed this when I first got it but I didn't remember. Something Human is listed as being the last track on Side Gamma of the alternate reality LP in my deluxe book / record case, but its actually the first track on side Delta. Very strange.

I always enjoyed Something human, and the second version is  Yes, Dark side second version is amazing ! 
I recently watched the ST movie again, and I very much enjoyed Algorithm alternate version, but for me both versions are wonderfull, I couldn‘t decide (but I still cringe about the story of the film, Matt saving the world ... 🙄) but ok.

Oh I haven't seen the film. I think OoM just blinded me to anything new Muse for a little while, lol.
