Juuso Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Tell me you're kidding. Assassin? Seven minutes long? 5 is a stretch! And it could never be epic. Long does not mean epic. Is Citizen Erased epic? No. New Born? Of course not. Knights of Cydonia, as much as I love it, is definitely not epic. The only Muse songs that spring to mind as epic are Space Dementia, Sing for Absolution and Ruled by Secrecy. Again, the album version is just fine as it is. Citizen Erased is epic. It goes through such alot of things. I wouldn't call Ruled by Secrecy or Sing for Absolution epic though. Assasin could have been 7 minutes long epic heavy distorted madness, like Debase could have turned in (and to some extent was), but they muddled it to a typical Muse song instead.

U-Mos Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Actually, on second thoughts I concede KoC could be deemed as a sort of mock epic, as it were. Cos it does have the grandeur and that, just it's fun and a bit silly too. The rest of my previous post stands though. New Born is not epic, it's perfectly good but it's a simply structured song that happens to run into the seventh minute. I don't get any feeling of a journey. Ruled by Secrecy and Sing for Absolution I do get that feeling in, as they're alot more emotional. And as for Citizen Erased, it's what I might call a try-hard epic. As in, they wrote with completely the wrong approach of deciding they were going to do a really long song as the centrepiece of OoS. And it didn't work. Oh, and Hoodoo comes under my definition of epic as well. [/controversy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyssa_ Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I love Assassin, mainly for the drums. If I had to pick a version it would be the one at KROQ. I die a little inside every time I watch it since I could've been at the kroq Inland Invasion--it's only a half hour away from where I live and I didn't know about it.

arias Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Can anyone e-mail me Assassin the Grand Omega Bosses Edit? I would like a certain B Side but I cannot buy it, can someone send it to me? No! It is illegal to send commercial songs to each other. Please ensure that you are not requesting or sending someone a commercial Muse track (or any other song by an artist). [from the new comers go here thread] http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=410 DEBASE anyday. GOB is way mellow and the backround is rather anooying but I like it more than Assassin... either way the drums are good:p DMG > Live > GOB > Album > some 12 year old's cover and Clunge, how the 7 minutes Assassin, I'm interested in the outcome...

paran01dandr3w Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 anyone know where i can purchase GOB or debase? i just can't settle with youtube everytime. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 It's not even close. Assassin= mediocre song, one of the worst on BH&R Grand Omega Bosses Edit= Best song muse have put out since Citizen Erased. Only spiral static, showbiz and CE top it imo. Assassin = Amazing but GOB = Absolutely Immense. But GOB is better than Showbiz and Spiral Static which is lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Assassin, even the album version, sounds immense live. So for me... Live > DMG > GOB Edit >>>> Album version. Album version just sounds so...wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning_October Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Between Assassin and GOB? Assassin. GOB doesnt capture the intensity of the live version, and as such its length just seems plodding. Also, it has that really annoying synth riff at the beggining, which always pisses me off. Debase was amazing. Recorded properly, it would have been EPIC. But we never got that, so i'll take the simplified, quickfire album version of Assassin.

Citizen Erased Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I do actually like Assassin quite a bit. I never used to, I thought the intro sounded like bees... It really grew on me, though...but it definitely isn't one of their best. The Grand Omega Bosses Edit one is a lot more interesting than the album version though, and longer. I like the Grand Omega Bosses Edit version more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarthumbfairy Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Assassin? Not a favourite, but it's still damn good. The music brings to mind something like in the Matrix, the robots trying to get into the ship or something. Kind of shoots up from nowhere, angry and dangerous, before tunneling back into the ground ferociously on the last seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeLulz Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I prefer the album version, i like the riff that's only on GOB but i think the song in general(GOB) is a little overdone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTPRules Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Come on! It's just so raunchy, and tasty no? One of the rockiest songs by Muse IMO. I know its random, but really underated on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomeraangsquad Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I love Assassin. The album version is perfect, I don't understand why people complain about it so much saying the edit should be there. Personally: Album version >>> GOB edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
