Carbo Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 imo one of their best releases, was even going to animate something to it once. Funny, back when it was released it was dropped from the original Origin Of Symmetry cause of its difficulty to play live, although I bet that if they'd release the album now then it could have made it onto the release. I mean there are quite more advanced songs that Muse has made nowadays and that they play live too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it difficult to play live- if you talk about the high,high,high in the middle look at what he did to muscle museums ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what you meant by that. The song itself is about a futuristic world, hence the pre-release name of "Electro Empire", and fits into the theme of Origin of Symmetry, but wasn't included due to its difficulty to play live.

Clunge Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I can't see why it would be difficult to play live. The bass line is simple, as is the guitar so unless Matt has difficultly singing it or singing and guitarist, I don't get why it would be difficult to pull off.

Nimpo46 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 on the early live version it sounded quite weak, so maybe they felt they just couldn't get the same strength as the studio version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellamy'szetagirl Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Great song! I agree that the old live version (that I've heard) wasn't very good. But I'd really love to hear it live now though. Note to Muse:PLEASE play Futurism during the next tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musestu Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I haven't heard it live- but old muse were a whoe lot more eraatic than they are now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbo Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I haven't heard it live- but old muse were a whoe lot more eraatic than they are now But they weren't as good as they are now with performing, they improved over the course of the albums obviously. Allmusic's review at Black Holes pretty much said it, they sound more solid as a band now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGEHGTxuFYQ Only performance of Futurism.

In Ryanbows Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Ah, Futurism. My all-around favorite Muse song. I want to hit U.S. iTunes on the head with a rake so hard for not having it. I think they should have not only included it on the album, but released it as a single. It could have been one of their most popular songs, up there with Time is Running Out, Knights of Cydonia, and Supermassive Black Hole. If I could use only one word to describe Futurism, it would have to be 'perfect'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*OoS* Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Ah, Futurism. My all-around favorite Muse song. I want to hit U.S. iTunes on the head with a rake so hard for not having it.

If I could use only one word to describe Futurism, it would have to be 'perfect'. Too proper hardcore to be one of the most popular, IMO. Which is as it should be - people pretending to adore it 'cause its cool to "love" Muse. Why if somebody came up to me and said "Muse are my favourite band, Starlight's my favourite song - I saw it in x movie," I'd go "What about Futurism?" And I bet they'd go ":stunned: wtf are you on about?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khfreek Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I wouldn't go so far as to say it's my favorite, but it is in my opinion the best vocal performance found in any Muse song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musestu Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 I dont like the vocals at the finale but apart from that very impressive vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musex Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Actually , Futurism is one of my fav. B sides , I still can´t understand how someone so young has the ability to make music expressing such deep feelings with simple but strong melodies that really make shivers down my spine .... Matt is someone very special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calliope. Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Thread revive Listening to it now, it has to be one of the best b-sides. The last lines of the song are the best, along with the bell of the cymbal in the intro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miss_meadows Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Great song, I LOVE IT! It's so powerful, dark, emotional. I really love it, the lyrics, the screaming, everything about it. I'm in love with that song. (I don't get that feeling with any of the TR songs. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llamafish164 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Wow that is wierd. Just yesterday I was thinking how underrated Futurism is and how little say it gets in this forum. On UK iTunes Futurism is the 13th song on OOS for some reason. Anyway thanks for this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
