DramaQueen. 10 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lean2fire 10 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyper 10 Posted May 18, 2017 Please tell me Matt's not singing about God now. he is the god of the shrinking universe of fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lean2fire 10 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." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGeorge 10 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lean2fire 10 Posted May 18, 2017 I'm 99% sure Matt realized he created a bit of a gospel song so he decided to add "god" to the lyrics. There was always that IG post with the Bible quote. Serpent is just NOT in the mood right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobby 100 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". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lean2fire 10 Posted May 18, 2017 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". That's actually a bit confusing considering the song's about Trump, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teitan 10 Posted May 18, 2017 The next line is literally "And a clown takes the throne" so yes. I wonder where he's sung about this before...... I'll show you a God Falls asleep on the job And how can we win, When fools can be kings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie. 13 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aleluman 10 Posted May 18, 2017 The climax is way too bland and boring compared to madness which, while similar, is clearly the better song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sixer 10 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
