MartianSpaghettiRider Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Same! But in general, I thought this was pretty good. Ive been pessimistic but this album might have some surprises. Heck, if every other song on LP8 we have yet to discover is at least on par with this clip quality wise... WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginOfAbso Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I thought it was okay. I'm surprised to see so many people loving it THAT much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia O Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 It's alive! The board is alive! Well, at least more than the last couple month great to see members coming back online as well Oh, the song: I like it! Cute video by Matt, but let's see how the studio versio will sound like, maybe he does an accoustic version live then? To me it sounds like Simon & Garfunkel. I can totally see Matt and Chris doing the chorus together, like S&G did so often. Ok, they sang full verses and songs together we almost got 3 songs so far, and I like 2 out of 3 - this is ok for me. Simply Red? Soft like "For your babies" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmallPrint02 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 That's a real shame the acoustic thing is just for fun... I still hold out hope maybe it'll be done live instead. I mean, if that can happen to UD, it can still happen here can't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frances Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I like the acoustic version, i did think it would be nice if it was released along side Something Human as a b-side, but then I remembered it's 2018 and no one does that anymore:$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I mean, it’s a shortened version intended as a tease but it’s there to listen to. First acoustic version of a song we’ve heard since ‘03 or ‘04, gotta appreciate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 I thought it was okay. I'm surprised to see so many people loving it THAT much. It's just a bit of a lull before the actual release. Don't worry, we'll be back in form and hate it plenty when we hear the full thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 I don't think I've ever seen him talk so slowly and quietly as in the intro. Someone should give him an acoustic guitar to noodle on during interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottycydonia Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 It's alive! The board is alive! Well, at least more than the last couple month great to see members coming back online as well This is the first time I've been on since drones came out but I go on muse Reddit every day. It makes me sad to think there might be some people still lurking here thinking they are the last few left when the chat has just moved elsewhere lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Cute video, it's nice to hear him talking 'normally', for want of a better word. Really hope the final song keeps some of the minimalist acoustic flavour, though I'll be pleasantly surprised told that's the case. I haven't cared for either of the two new songs so far, but this seems to have some potential at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Agreed. I didn’t really care for the sample in the teaser, but the acoustic version is lovely. Matt is just so adorable in the video that I’m convinced that it’s my new favorite song. I’m not sold on the sample either, but it was sooo brief that I’m reserving judgment. The melody and guitar was so sweet that I’m willing to give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 No idea how this link will go but Matt just posted a video of himself playing SH solo acoustic. Okay The lyrics are heavy handed as heck, but I do not care. This is easily the best song yet, just based on that. And Matt's acoustic work is just excellent. Wasn't expecting all the fingerpicking and folkier chords. I'm very hyped for this single now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 A lot of people have said this is cute and adorable. I am very much with those people. Not words I ever expected to use with Muse, but dang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I don't think I've ever heard that kind of soft innocent-y voice outside of Map of Your Head. I want more of it. Those "ah's" are gonna be Imagine Dragons styled aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Ah shit, didn’t even consider that. But honestly I thought the acoustic version was sweet but ultimately a bit...uninteresting. I have slightly higher hopes for the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkadelic Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Awww. A much more pleasant way of teasing a new release than weird pictures of 80s cars, if you ask me. I'm having a hard time envisioning (is there an audio equivalent of that word?) what the complete thing will sound like, but this was quite nice. I like it as well, I think, because we have indeed been waiting for something human from Muse for a while. Something a little more intimate, heartfelt and less forced and artificial. But that may just be me. I agree. I wasn't sure if Matt was capable of that anymore, but this brought me back to Showbiz and Hullabaloo. I hope the final version has a similar feel.

serpentsatellite Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Adorable video aside (damn, even warmed my cynical heart a tiny bit...) I'm surprised at how much people are praising this. The vocals remind me of all the worst parts of Aftermath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vocals remind me of all the worst parts of Aftermath. The worst parts of Aftermath are at the end to me, and really that's nowhere near my least favorite thing they've done, just a bit too over the top (which is saying a lot by their standards). I honestly love his delivery at the start. Overdramatic sure, but it gets me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vocals remind me of all the worst parts of Aftermath. And if he did Aftermath as a little intimate acoustic song I might like it a lot better too. Likewise, I'm not at all pleasantly teased by the little clip of Something Human in the teaser. It has the potential to be one of their cheesiest yet. Lyrics aren't terrible for Muse standards though, so that's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyonco10 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 “I’ll depressurize” sounds like a lyric that didn’t make Big Freeze ( I do like big freeze though ) . Something Human seems like its going to just be a more poppy/accessible Aftermath. I find myself listening to the preview more than the acoustic version though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 “I’ll depressurize” sounds like a lyric that didn’t make Big Freeze ( I do like big freeze though ) . This line bugs me because I wrote a song called Pressurise a few years ago using the same metaphor I swear there have been a few times I've had musical ideas, and then Matt comes out with the same idea. Not accusing him of anything since I don't even post my music online, but it's just weird how alike we think sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 “I’ll depressurize” sounds like a lyric that didn’t make Big Freeze ( I do like big freeze though ) To be honest, as much as I prefer their more abstract stuff, I'll take Matt's spacey lyrics over their quasi-political stuff any day if that's what it comes down to.
