Citizen_Eraser Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I’ve heard Supremacy on NFL and Formula 1 adverts. Thought it worked well. They just included the supremacy line without the destroy bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisF Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The only frustration I have with this song is in the chorus, on the repeat each time he sings a major third on “best”, rather than a minor, though I’m sure with repeated listens I’ll grow to appreciate the variety Ace track though, every single section is killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The only frustration I have with this song is in the chorus, on the repeat each time he sings a major third on “best”, rather than a minor, though I’m sure with repeated listens I’ll grow to appreciate the variety Ace track though, every single section is killer That exact line in the chorus is the one thing stopping me from loving this song as much as I want to. It just sounds wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Yep, for example in Bliss and Screenager the direct switch from minor to major works really well, but for this song (especially only for one line in the chorus) it sounds a bit out of place imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The only frustration I have with this song is in the chorus, on the repeat each time he sings a major third on “best”, rather than a minor I actually fucking LOVE that Makes that line sound even more OTT motivational with the operatic delivery and Queen vocals. Gives me a shit-eating grin like no other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solemndrummer Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 To me, it's like one the worst songs on the record along with get up and fight it looks like "Nowadays Muse" attempts to make some "Good Old Muse" but they just can't do it !

Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I also love the Picardy third, I’m with Jobby. That things keeps the whole song from getting too repetitive. Psycho should have something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 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: And I'm alright with it.

Hopix Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Blockades is great, but like Pressure it needed some kind of conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I think the idea with a lot of the quick endings without big conclusions on this record was to pack as many different ideas into a lot of the songs as possible without ever hitting the 5 minute mark, and probably to give a sense of moving rapid fire from one idea to the next track by track.

LewisF Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I don’t think the abrupt-type ending does Assassin any harm, obviously it wouldn’t work on every track but I don’t have a problem with it on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Strangely thought of Abba's Money Money Money when I first heard this in a tired haze late last night. Second listen is positive enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was comparing it to Assassin, saying that that style of ending doesn’t detract from the quality of the song for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSmallPrint02 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The verses are golden, and they make this song fucking brilliant for me. Threw me back to a couple of classic tracks as well. But the choruses, just felt a little bit 'unusual'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
