DramaQueen. Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Because you say so? I honestly think lots of people are saying that because of the initial disappointment. And I am no expert on music to judge quality, but yes, I think they have worse songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 You didn't listen to it, yet? I had an appointment and now I'm working a mid-shift. It's been a bummer of a day, so I wasn't really in the mood on break. I'm especially not in the mood for "Muse does xtian music" today. Reading people's reactions, however, has been interesting and amusing. I also still haven't listened to New Kind of Kick, though. Maybe I should start there.

serpentsatellite Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 he is the god of the shrinking universe of fans I should have clarified "singing about God in a non-blasphemous way." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGeorge Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I should have clarified "singing about God in a non-blasphemous way." I'm 99% sure Matt realized he created a bit of a gospel song so he decided to add "god" to the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I should have clarified "singing about God in a non-blasphemous way." I'd say it's about the same way that he's always sang about God. The line is "When God decides to look the other way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a bit confusing considering the song's about Trump, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should start there. Er... I have a feeling you might like NKOK more. You know the times you were criticising Revolt for inciting to rise up in a silly way considering the band's background? Well, there's also a phrase in Dig Down that goes like this: "With a gun to your head / You must find a way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophie. Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Sounds like Freedom by George Michael....like exactly Truth. I genuinely like it though. It's catchy (probably because of aforementioned George Michael comparisons). It's uplifting (lol). And it sounds fucking LOVELY through a good pair of headphones. It really is stock-standard 2017 mainstream-appeal Muse. Goes straight in the vein of Madness and Undisclosed Desires. A little beige, but a decent enough song, and very standard for their current sound and the kind of singles they're putting out these days. In my opinion, definitely not the worst thing they've ever done. Not by a long shot. Wouldn't mind hearing it live, myself. I'll take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleluman Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The climax is way too bland and boring compared to madness which, while similar, is clearly the better song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixer Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 It's just ok. Seems like they were trying to make an uprising 2.0 that can be played in movies, TV, and sports promotions. Trying to repeat a past success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
