That Little Animal Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yup. We got a winner. Good thing they didn't release this one first. The rest would have been such a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 LOLWUT Stick it on now and just imagine a synthwave cover of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Best song from the album yet, at this rate DD is going to be the exception on a otherwise very solid album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Major OoS vibes from this as well. That synth tone also seems very BH&R era, like Easily even? Hoodoo comes to mind melodically as well. This is the Muse that we all know and love. Maybe not the most incredible song, but like Easily-tier good imo. This will see plenty of replay from me. Sounds like a solid track 2 as well...hoping the opener is something epic now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The vocal melody is really good. Matt's best vocals since Dead Inside. Don't want to be that person who says "it sounds like X old song", but I get a proper darkshines hint from the "i've been pursued" bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Love it. Very eerie vibes. The vocal melody is catchy as hell. You can sense the traditional or "old Muse" in there but it's presented in full on synthy style. I will admit I'm more partial to their rock and classical sound but I do love synths and if muse must go full synth this is what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I thought Fillip more than anything from that one part in the verse. Or Forced In. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Would love to see a change up on this tour, things like Panic Station and Survival getting a heavy rotation, MoTP instead of Resistance ( if I have to see resistance live one more time I might have a breakdown) Also I think it’s time for the TiRO...to end If I manage to get to my first Muse concert ever on this tour and don't see them play TiRO, I'm gonna leave disappointed. Slightly, but nonetheless. It's my favorite Muse song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Not that one song bears any real resemblance to the other, but after hearing TDS for the first time earlier and walking back to my dorm building I started singing Deadstar, whereas earlier SH had made me want to sing Madness... so quality new Muse song confirmed.

Nigel_Tufnel Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Finally a new Muse song that I can get on board with. Upon the first listen, I kept thinking that the song wouldn't sound entirely out of place on Origin of Symmetry. By coincidence, I had thrown the song from Tidal onto a random Muse playlist and it happened to land right before Darkshines. The songs sounded somewhat similar and flowed together nicely.

I thought Fillip more than anything from that one part in the verse. Or Forced In. It's almost exactly the opening from Space Dementia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxVC8mdOeNQ 0:06 "I've been pursued" 0:15 "I have lived in darkness" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topo_musero Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yeah, really love this one. Best song of the bunch by miles. If only the rest of them were near this song... Well, I still quite like SH and I'm not a TC hater. I'm still intrigued about this album. I know Muse always release some songs I really enjoy in every album.

OriginOfAbso Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I think he should've broken into falsetto on one of the final "Break me out"s. Also I really like how the bass/synth(?) thing at 1:20 keeps going through the whole next verse in the right channel. Also that bit totally sounds similar to that one part in Glorious, which utilizes it in the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I have no complaints. No suggestions. This is gold. Yeah, it's not CE or anything like that. But it's gold. Better than most of Drones, and most of T2L. I feel like this is sort of what TC was going for but got caught up in trying to be a 30stm song, on the chorus at least.

topo_musero Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I've just seen the album cover art :LOL:. Not sure if I hate it or love it though. I just know I laughed and I'm not sure that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Mamba Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I haven't hated any of the Simulation Theory singles so far, but nor I have loved them entirely. This though, I don't think I've loved a Muse track this quickly on one listen since I heard the Handler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginOfAbso Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) I haven't hated any of the Simulation Theory singles so far, but nor I have loved them entirely. This though, I don't think I've loved a Muse track this quickly on one listen since I heard the Handler. Same. As much as I like this though, I'm now worried this is going to be the peak of the album (especially since it's the only one where they are including an instrumental in the bonus tracks as well as the "Alternate Reality Version"). I have a feeling there are going to be at least two more downright stinkers. Hoping the album at least starts and ends on a strong note. The piano bit in The Globalist into Drones was such a disappointing way to end an album. Edited August 31, 2018 by Matthz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoledman Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Muse fucking did it. This is what "new" muse should sound like, not fucking Dig Down. Onto Pressure we go... EDIT: Anyone else feeling like a Psycho style tour is about to be announced? With it being UK only early access... Agreed. I love the synth stabs at the start. I like how there is no building up to that, the songs just attacks you right away. Also no millennial whoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
