Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Here's some! -The second guitar riff break in SS when Matt does a different pattern of distorted noises than the first one -the morse code in Dom's snare pattern on Starlight 😂 -the high pitched violin fall right at the start of Unsustainable -the outro chord progression on Mercy -the wree-eerw sound and the panning back and forth on the soloed guitar riff at the end of Micro Cuts just before the bass and drums come back in for the last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Actually one of my favorite things about Muse and what really sets them apart from most other bands for me is just their attention to detail. Even in the early days they always had the sense to leave in a lot of the little noises and feedback bits and random stuff that would give the songs extra flavor and you would find on your like sixth listen. And even though they don't have a ton of that "live in the studio" sort of stuff anymore (although I can't help but think the count off to The Dark Side is a little nod to that), they're so meticulous about adding interesting easter eggs and a variety of layers to every song that it doesn't matter. That and Matt's innate ability to write engaging arrangements are possibly the two biggest factors that keep even Muse's most by the numbers material interesting for me.

CorvidCrow Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Definitely got to be the bass tone and melody for The Dark Side, it's so obviously bass, but the octave effect makes half the octaves totally ambiguous and synthy, it fits so flawlessly with the song, and the rest of the understated synth bass parts. That and the little flourishes Chris does towards the end of Showbiz! Love em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightofcydonia Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Is it weird to find the cat meows in The Small Print charming? I dunno, something about the fact they were even left in the song makes me smile. Same with the rushing river water in Guiding Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
