matthijs Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I thought so too but it sounds like the backing vocal is enunciating a T on Beat. Could be yes - Matt's not known for pwopah enunciation Just noticed as well how much of an MK Ultra like vocal melody the verses have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think it's "You've been summoned now." ^ yeah, it’s this Sounds like 'be the best' to me I hear ‘be’ on the first chorus then ‘beats’ on maybe the next 2. Hate being at this early stage where we still don’t know ‘til we get the physical booklets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man_In_Showbiz Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Like TDS, it reminds me of so many different songs. Hopefully it's played live as it's quite the monster and that solo is brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 My best guess at the lyrics The truth is that when I am killing in order to survive I've never felt so alive I'm always seeking to live and die on the edge Live is a broken simulation I'm unable to feel I'm searching for something that's real I'm always seeking to see what's behind the veil Trapped in a maze of unseen walls These blockades must fall Crush, Crush, Why the rush? Seize, fight for your life Smash, Test, Be the best Fight for your life You've been summoned now I never sleep or rest but I'm still running out of time I have sacrificed all of my life The time has come to, to prove to you what I'm worth Trapped in a maze of endless walls These blockades must fall Crush, Crush, Why the rush? Seize, Fight for your life Smash, Test, Beat the best Fight for your life You've been summoned now Crush, Crush, Why the rush? Seize, Fight for your life Smash, Test, Beat the best Fight for your life You've been summoned now He definitely sounds as if he sings 'be the best' in the first chorus but changes to 'beat' for the second and third imo. Just a little unsure on that "why the rush" line at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Someone posted the lyric book in /r/muse Discord. The chorus is Crush, crush Raze and rush Seize and fight for your life Smash, test Beat the best Fight for your life You’ve been summoned now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) This track makes me wish the guys could make a power/symphonic metal album one day. It reminds me a little of Rhapsody or Symphony X and the sort, but maybe I'm just losing my mind. EDIT: At this point, after reading the correct lyrics, I think it's clear this song is about a videogame character going through the motion by obeying to the encoded commands and hating it, and his desire of exiting the program. And it's awesome as barbeque sauce. Edited November 8, 2018 by MartianSpaghettiRider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickerman Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Yes to a Muse power metal album. Definitely think they can pull it off. Technically they do already have a power metal song,even (one with power metal elements,to be more precise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think this would have been a better NFL tie in song than Pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01FromFinland Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I've said this before and Blockades makes me say it again: Muse + Leprous-collab album. MAKE IT HAPPEN. And yes the song is sooooooooo good. Probably the best on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The intro sounds like the music from every science video I watched at school . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Also, as I said in the main ST thread, Blockades sounds like Muse covering Octavarium / Systematic Chaos era Dream Theater, which in turn was when Dream Theater openly spoke of being heavily influenced by Muse. There's massive circularity here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeRg33VDFZE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzovR0s7EbI And this one too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 EDIT: At this point, after reading the correct lyrics, I think it's clear this song is about a videogame character going through the motion by obeying to the encoded commands and hating it, and his desire of exiting the program. That analysis actually makes me like it a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confusedyoungman Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 It's just a really solid track and will no doubt be insanely good live. SOLD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The first part of the solo really reminds me of Smooth Sailing by QOTSA. It sounds messy and discordant but structured. Almost as if it's purposefully ramshackle. The outro is so disappointing. It doesn't kick on into anything. It needs to tear into a riff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxomflirter Queef Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Just imagine the hype fest if this was the first single ever released in Dig Down's place. Imagine the let down expecting an ace album and getting Dig Down instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen_Eraser Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I think this would have been a better NFL tie in song than Pressure. They’ll use a bunch of songs. Doesn’t matter if they tie into sports. This has been going for years and started with Uprising and Resistance. Someone at those broadcasting stations likes Muse.

This has been going for years and started with Uprising and Resistance. Someone at those broadcasting stations likes Muse. Uprising is perfect for it. And Knights. I just think it's an awkward song choice. Same with this IndyCar tie in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
