Novus Dies Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I beg to differ. Why? SS is full on metal TSP, Hysteria, MK and US come close but not heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Why? SS is full on metal TSP, Hysteria, MK and US come close but not heavier. I think they are. I also think MK ULTRA is a contender for heaviest Muse song ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novus Dies Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I think they are. I also think MK ULTRA is a contender for heaviest Muse song ever. It's got barely any rhythm guitar in it and it's certainly not a heavy guitar sound when it's there. Save for some riffage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Dead Star is easily the 'heaviest' thing Muse have ever done. The middle riff in MK Ultra probably about equals it. But tbh, it depends whether you're defining heaviness simply in terms of production techniques or if you're considering a lot of different factors like the riff itself, its placement in a song, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikethemuse Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Adore this song. Love the riffs at the end, and especially the mini-riff in the middle of the song (wants more!). It's a top top song, reckon it's probably my favourite off the album, along with Resistance. Can't wait to hear this played live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylee Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Why? SS is full on metal I find this comment hilarious. SS is full on guitar, in your face, loud, fast, emotional, bombast, etc., but certainly not metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylee Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Do you guys even know what kind of music Metal is? Definitely not Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Of course no one with a brain would say Muse is a metal band. But I still think songs like SS, Hysteria and Dead Star sound metal. I've never been a fan of trying to sort out music genres (and why bother, really). To me, if I can bang my head to it, then it's kinda metal. Maybe it would be better to just call those songs heavy. One of my fave characteristics of Muse songs is the heaviness of some of the bass riffs. I would consider CE, Fury and Eternally Missed to be heavy, but not metal. I'm still not sure how I would describe MK Ultra or US. I've still only had one listen, but neither seem to be as heavy (even in a non-metal way) as SS, New Born or other mentioned songs.

serious14 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I love the whole song, but seriously, _that_..... no, _THAT_ ending riff (and its buildup) is nothing short of the filthiest thing I have ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 You can tell with this and US particularly that Muse we're just fucking going for it with these songs and didn't give a shit about anything at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopix Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Other than hoping they would please Origin of Symmetry fans. TBH I don't even think they gave a toss who these songs we're appealing to you know, it's just Muse being Muse, which is more similar to how they used to write songs. (i'm not saying a 100% disregard to audiences but you can see in BHaR and even Absolution that they we're more blatently trying to keep fans happy) I also think the same about USoE and Exogenesis.
