de7ilznite Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Does the quiet breakdown in the song remind you of some other band?? I have this inkling they borrowed the idea off someone, but I can't quite put my finger on it at the moment. EDIT: Oh nevermind, I remember now: it kinda reminds me of I Want You (She's So Heavy) by the Beatles. The slow breakdown at the end, I mean.

Hopix Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I love this song, it's perfect Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunavi Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 since the bbc broadcast from teignmouth dominates the album version, i will happily listen to that instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiko Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yeah. Muse should have released a live version of this alongside Uprising. I would have been sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Born Lee Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The riff at the end is WAY too short. It could last an eternity for all I care. I both love and hate how it's so short. It kinda makes me want to listen to the entire song again as build up to that AWESOME ending riff. This. Song. Is. Immortal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxyous Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The only thing I don't really like about the studio version, is Matt's voice, when he sings the "Counter-balance this commotion" parts. Live, his voice is pretty soft, but it's sort of annoying in the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The only thing I don't like in this song are the "hey" in the background of the chorus. I found them distractive and redundant. Everything else tho is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Anyway apart from that it's made of obscene win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopix Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Tame? I go nuts to it. Hmm, I'm not sure really, ok, tame is too strong a word, and when I re-listened to it again today, it did seem better, as a result, I'm liking the track more.

CarrieB Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I think might just be my favourite Muse song ever! The live version was even more awesome, but I'm still enjoying the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperJamie Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 It's not the best Muse song ever but it is a very, very good addition to the muse back catalogue. I think they now have a proper closing song for the first part of the set and it combines the best of New Born, Citizen Erased and a little bit of Dead Star: probably the best song on the new album. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0hawk Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Compared to the reviews and initial hype for Unnatural Selection, it doesn't feel epic at all but rather a fun rock song. It's no New Born, Citizen Erased or Stockholm Syndrome, but rather a slightly longer The Small Print. Close a set with this? Hell no! Open? Hell yes!

nackavich Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I was singing along to this in the car yesterday and adding Daron/Serj vocals. Haha, it's very Hypnotize/Mezmerize in parts isn't it? I think it's an awesome track. As soon as I heard the riff my head simultaneously started banging. Very much like New Born with the ascending riff, sweet mid-section and nice intro aswell. If Matt's guitar tone was a little less trebly, it would sound like something Josh Homme wrote. Kinda nice mix of System of a Down, Queens of the Stone Age, Black Sabbath (mid-section lumbering riff), maybe a little Metallica chuggery at the end and of course Muse.

Riveon Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I finally got the album and this song is IMO pure awesomeness. The riff makes me want to dance, and not many songs do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocpartyanimal Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I can look past the New Born-esque riff now to see it's quite alright. I just noticed the lyrics in the booklet are wrong though. In stead of "The lucky don't care at all, no hope for fate" he sings "The lucky don't care at all, no chance for fate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalyptic Gerbil Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Is it just me or does the riff sound incredibly flat and lifeless? I'm not saying it isn't catchy as it really is and no doubt it will be awesome live but it just doesn't seem to have much oomph. I mean compared to the riff in New Born, Stockholm or at the end of Knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocpartyanimal Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 They could have beefed it up but then they would have been accused even more of plagiarising themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
