Destroya Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I've always posted about hating that song, definitely my joint least favourite alongside Who Knows Who (can't stand the Streets or the music). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepp Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 We would slag it off if it came out today, but since older songs are not subject to the pressure of expectations and are taken for what they are, I kind of like it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurkinglurkerlurksagain Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 "liquid control" and "socks and a phone" would be derided as further proof of their fall. It's not a fantastic song, but it's pretty fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 It's probably one of their "emo-est" songs ever, in my opinion. Has the word 'emo' gone through some serious semantic change from when I was a teenager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Oh, geeze, I didn't mean "emo" in a literal sense... It was more about the depressing mood of it's lyrics. You know... "Someone is screaming / Like the world might explode", or the chorus itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 That's definitely the whole album of Drones actually... I'd consider Drones as kitsch at its best, for the most part, not "emo". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Semantics arguments on the Muse board? How utterly bizarre... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Tbf the same arguments used to be more about whether or not Muse were/are a pop band. Dunno if being an emo band is an improvement. Were Muse ever marketed that way around the time emo was a big thing? (i.e. Black Parade-era MCR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 If we're being pedantic, 'emo' was a thing long before MCR even picked up their instruments. Yay, genre wankery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 The song title "dead inside" seemed pretty damn emo. I admit I wasn't expecting it to be accusatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) If we're being pedantic, 'emo' was a thing long before MCR even picked up their instruments. Of course, it was born as a sub-genre of punk and it was way, way more crude and untamed back then. Over the course of 90s and 00s, instead, it had begun to blend with pop-rock and other melodical styles, and the more "innocuous" and commercially viable sub-genre that's universally known today was obtained. Tbf the same arguments used to be more about whether or not Muse were/are a pop band. Dunno if being an emo band is an improvement. Were Muse ever marketed that way around the time emo was a big thing? (i.e. Black Parade-era MCR) Well, they were never marketed that way, and let's be grateful about that. On the other hand, I think The Black Parade is a very solid album, more then some may think. The song title "dead inside" seemed pretty damn emo. I admit I wasn't expecting it to be accusatory. Yeah, it could be perceived like that, couldn't it? But, you know, never judge a book by its cover (I'm looking at you, Madness)...

Bumpypotato Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Black Parade is actually a really good album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 MCR's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is actually a fantastic album that has aged really well. It's filled with the kind of angst-ridden hard rock that Muse need to write more of. I would love if some of that angst came through on this "acoustic" album, but I'm not holding my breath.

vixi Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 The Black Parade is a good alternative rock, pop/punk album. Emo is (and has always been) something else. I thought those kind of things weren't even labelled as such anymore Muse is the antithesis of an emo band anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum IV Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Muse is the antithesis of an emo band anyway. I remember when I used to play Left 4 Dead, I'd play music over voice chat for my friends with similar tastes. One day I was playing Showbiz and a randomer joined. He was kicked after he asked me to "stop playing that emo shit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixi Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 That's because people tend to confuse dark alternative rock music with emo. Blame Jimmy Eat World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
