smoledman Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Sounds almost Indian. Is Matt actually not going to do everything as a rock cliche for a change? Sounds promising. Source: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Wow they actually went a synthwave-ish route with The Dark Side. I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Holy gods, that preview on iTunes! They've gone full synthwave, guys, and it's fucking AWESOME. The vocal line of the verses is also reminescent of Space Dementia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozenbanana Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Apart from the intro vocals (MATT STOP SINGING OVER THE START OF SONGS PLS), this is actually... quite good? Also really goes to show the benefits of not having a chorus which is the song title repeated over and over again EDIT: also, this is the most CHVRCHES thing they've ever done Edited August 30, 2018 by frozenbanana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroya Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Definitely the best so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLikeCorvettes Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Definitely the best so far. Agreed. Best song so far, didn't expect it to like it this much especially with it being this genre of music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Not as high on it as some of you seem to be yet some good things, some less so, need to work out what comes out on top Vocals are good though, apart from that mess at the start. Verse progression/melody is fucking weirdly Origin-esque dark/weird considering how light-hearted all this seems to be.

projektxtal Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 its alright, doesn't really give me much hope though when the previous 3 songs have been awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnolia86 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 That cover gave me the jitters, but I'm reeled right back in with The Dark Side. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbo Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This new track almost makes me excited about Muse again. There's some real spirit and energy to it, feels like a natural evolution of Black Holes-era Muse. Real shame that the album has to be weighed down by three other tracks that are still pretty meh.

TheSmallPrint02 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I honestly didn't expect it to be released today. I love how all these music videos are directly connected to one another. The Dark Side literally picked up from where Something Human left off. I'm not too keen on the choruses, but the verses are fucking golden. Overall I really like this song, this album just keeps getting better and better, though SH remains my favourite still. Pretty sure I'm alone in this but, It really reminded me of Micro Cuts, anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Really like TDS. Initial observations after two listens. - Sounds very like that CHVRCHES cover they did which I am ALL for. - The synth arpeggios - Those synth stabs in the breaks post-chorus - The guitar solo synth tone and phrasing are fkin great. - Matt's delivery on the "Save me from the daaaark side" line towards the end EDIT: Also I know a lot of people aren't fans of the neon, sci-fi movie aesthetic they're going for but I actually quite like it. It's nice to see them really embracing that kinda cheesy fun side. Edited August 30, 2018 by heyjackk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Seems pretty decent actually. I wasn't convinced at first but it's quite catchy as it goes on. The most enjoyable track so far for me, but I'm still not sure about the album just yet. I'll have see how the other songs come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo eighteen Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Pretty sure I'm alone in this but, It really reminded me of Micro Cuts, anyone else? Thank you, I knew parts of his vocals reminded me of something from OoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyP117 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 My biggest gripe with Thought Contagion was that it felt very 'Muse by numbers'. This feels very 'Musey' but is just a much stronger song in general imo. Really, really enjoying that chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
