frutiger75 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 From the reactions of the song, it fits perfectly with the vibe of the CW network, and the audience they seem to want to cater to. :shudders slightly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I like this song, but I don't love it yet. On first listen it had that "LOL WHAT THE FUCK AM I LISTENING TO THIS IS ???" vibe that most new Muse stuff does. It was probably a little less surprising than usual having heard the bassline and seen images of the band rehearsing. It kinda sounds like Imagine Dragons took a bunch of downers and read through the Bible for musical inspiration. That solo So far there's nothing (sans solo) that really grabs me and blows me away, which is a good sign. Muse's best songs are always the growers. For now I'm just appreciating that it's an enjoyable and unusual listen, packed with meaning, and I'll wait to see if it becomes a classic. I love this band though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's slowly growing on me. Maybe because I'm not overplaying it like whenever I got a new Muse single to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) He does, and it makes me doubt my non-native English grammar, but it's wrong, right? Of course it's wrong, because it's referring to two subjects (hence it requires the plural form) instead of one. The funny (or tragic) thing is that he's right, but by letting it out in moments like these, he's literally playing with fire.

MAurelia Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I said once that Muse fans are too demanding... I like Dig Down. Honestly, I expected a faster song, but It's ok. It's better song than most of the songs we all listening on the radio (check the Top 50 at Spotify). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikiclo Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 By the way, people earlier were talking about possible setlists combos... just imagine: you went to Muse gig hoping to hear CE, Assassin, SS, Handler, you name it. And then you get setlist like this: 1. [JFK] 2. Dead Inside 3. Dig Down 4. Revolt 5. Follow Me 6. Interlude 7. Madness 8. Mercy 9. Uprising for lols 10. Panic Station 11. Big Freeze (live debut yay!!) 12. 1 minute of Fury but the power cuts out 13. Undisclosed Desires 14. Man with a Harmonica 15. Guiding Light That setlist could be amazing if you were stoned. 1 1/2 hours of pure laughter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny (or tragic) thing is that he's right, but by letting it out in moments like these, he's literally playing with fire. It was obvious what the band thought about their fans back when they started talking shit about their own forum fans, and again recently when they admitted that they refused to play even a single song in their setlists for them. The irony is it leaves them with a casual fan base, and then the band acts pissy when they don't get the crowd reaction that hardcore fans would give them.

Exactly, it seems like for a while they do (almost) everything to cater to their "casual" fans, then matt acts completely dumbfounded that no one goes nuts at their shows any more, although I do really think the in the round stage set up seriously prevented much of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was even obvious watching a lot of UK/European gigs. It was still a really subdued crowed even during TR and T2L tours, tbh. Seems like the bigger the band/venue in the US, the quieter things are, even up front. Maybe the price of more mainstream fame? Or having a couple of huge hits that are widely popular, but all anyone bothered to listen to. I saw AFI at First Ave (club) and had to scramble upstairs to avoid becoming a bloody stain on the floor. Really unexpected. And interestingly, a band who's hardcore fans always rage about the new direction the band's taken (for the last 10 years) but still clearly show up to every gig because the band still plays an assload of old material. Meanwhile, sorry to everyone who just got fucked over the Pemberton festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyonco10 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 So Matt was using the acoustic for UD according to setlist.fm, also why is isolated system still around lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Because it really just is an extension of the Drones Tour and the people expecting some "off season" rarities are going to be horribly disappointed. Surprised at Globalist at a corporate gig though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 V interested to see how he uses the acoustic during UD, as gash as it is live. IIRC one of the original recordings used one, so maybe we'll just be hearing what that sounded like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGeorge Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Dig Down has grown on me quite immensely. It's a pretty good "at the end of the gym" track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
