Jimmyneutron Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Here's a track by track rundown of what I think we are in for! Let me know what you think. Uprising This will possibly be an instrumental track and an extended introduction, perhaps lasting 2 minutes building up into resistance. The music will tell a story and may be very classical-based. Resistance An epic rock song, perhaps in the style of City of Delusion, following from the build up in Uprising. This song title reminds me of a war or fight in the context of other titles and will be heavily political. I am going to lay it down now and say this could be a potential single and one of the more normal songs on the album. Undisclosed Desires A much softer song after the two big first tracks, probably a more simple love song judging by the titles, and perhaps referencing the human emotions that appear as the resistance resides and has been won. Could be the 'Unintended' of the album. United States of Eurasia The resulting New World Order that arises from 'Resistance' is the theme of this track and may deal with themes such as the disintegration of human rights as we become servants to the machine, as the resistance has failed. Heavy on strings judging from the score in the twitpic, continuing with a heavy classical theme. Collateral Damage may be a short outro of 1.5-2 minutes - possibly osaka jam? not sure how this would fit with the strings however. Alternatively, Collateral Damage may refer to an attack on the United States of Eurasia. Guiding Light Another love song here, not as soft as Undisclosed Desires. Probably more similar to starlight than any other song, however fitting in better with the rest of the album. Note the net years day reference from ages ago - i see this song being a bit like that. Potential single. Unnatural Selection This is the track with an organ in it. Megalomania-ish in that it deals with a religion vs science question, or perhaps Aliens tampering with Human DNA? MK Ultra I can see this representing new territory for Muse, in that it is a more psychadelic style track and much like dark side of the moon. Thematically, it appears obvious this track is about mind control, indicating the possibility of a more psychadelic approach! - Could be the Sgt Peppers/Classical hybrid track mentioned in the japanese interview from last week. Could be drawn out over 6 minutes. I Belong to You + Mon Coeur S'Ouvre A Ta Voix Opera? A return to classical influences from earlier in the album, a very strong track much like Hoodoo crossed with Micro Cuts. See this: Exogenesis: Overture An instrumental track, very soft indeed. Exogenesis: Cross Pollination This is where the words start. Dealing with exogenesis and the fact that life on earth originated elsewhere. Exogenesis: Redemption The enlightenment occurs here, definitely the most optimistic track on the album and providing a dramatic climax to an album that tells a story. Overall Notes: It is worth nothing that on every album so far, the second track has been a single (not including introductions) This album i feel will flow better than any others so far, and the track names indicate that there is a story being told and that this will be a concept album. Much to some peoples despair, i feel that there will be a couple of more progressive tracks on the album - notably MK Ultra, and Possibly United States of Eurasia. I feel that this album will last for about an hour. - with two extra tracks adjoined to existing ones, and the potential for a couple of more progressive tracks, i think this will be the longest album. I get the feeling of a very heavy classical theme, and the most unusual song on BH&R mentioned by matt is perhaps Hoodoo, rather than Map of the Problematique. I think Hoodoo will be the best indicator for this album. It seems to fit much better with what can be derived from the titles. A cover of an opera, strings in USoE, and a Symphony. I don't think I was too far out with parts of it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyneutron Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 except the heavy classical theme is a bit off. although its very much there. And Uprising i was pretty out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Ryanbows Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I LOVE YOU TOO. HOW AWKWARDLY RANDOM. I don't think I was too far out with parts of it to be honest. I like your version better. EDIT: Do you realize that your Guiding Light description was pretty much spot-on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaGö1548180112 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 "Exogenesis: Symphony Part I (Overture)" very soft, piano based intro that carries out through most of the song. it gets heavier and heavier, eventually leading to - "Exogenesis: Symphony Part II (Cross Pollination)" - a synth, orchestra orgasm with ravaging drums and soft bass leading to - "Exogenesis: Symphony Part III (Redemption)" - a massive, mind-blowing, eruption of orchestra and synthy-guitar with chris and matt doing insane harmonies and chris doing some side singing (TSP Live-style), with the track ending in how the Overture began. I love Exogenesis, but somehow I wish that was true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinq Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I love Exogenesis, but somehow I wish that was true Aye, it ended too softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyneutron Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 EDIT: Do you realize that your Guiding Light description was pretty much spot-on?

DifferentPerson Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I can't believe the OP thought that Guiding Light would be the best song and US would be the worst... Ignorance is bliss as they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoman297 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Man was the OP wrong or what? This is a good bump because I'm going to make a prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zolic Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I love this we should predict aswell, so we can laugh at our fail predictions later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DifferentPerson Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I don't think I was too far out with parts of it to be honest. You were pretty much spot on with Undisclosed Desires, Unnatural Selection and MK Ultra It's funny how people thought that Exogenesis would be pretty much the opposite of how it turned out to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSMU7 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 so many epic failed predictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSMU7 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 RESISTANCE About: Winston's revealed to be an opponent of the Party. Prediction of song similarities: Epic riffage time. Plug in Baby-type catchy riffs, only darker and harder. Yet hummable. Pretty much doesn’t change a lot of the song – stays dark and hard like…like…like the choruses of Host. WRONG GUIDING LIGHT About: Winston and Julia's introduction Prediction of song similarities: New Born/In Your World-esque. Some sort of beautiful piano or strings intro, then sudden, epic, uplifting, yet dark riffage expressing anger and fright about the Party. Micro Cuts-esque vocals. No calm ending. VERY VERY WRONG:D:D Best Song: Guiding Light FAIL!!! Worst Song: Unnatural Selection FAIL!!! Hardest Rocking Song: The Resistance FAIL!!! MK UKTRA sounds as if it might be Exo-Politics #2, hence it will be terrible. WRONG !! Plus Exo Politics is a good song. Much better than most of The Resistance is it turns out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
