Alec Ferris Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think what he's trying to say is that such grandiloquence can only suit a song that is "supreme/absolute perfection", therefore Muse considered Survival to be that kind of song, whence the pretentious feeling. Or am I wrong? Seems something like that to me. I remember people saying similar things about the sound on Sacrament by Lamb of God- they felt the super-sized production had pretensions of epicness.

diamond_writer Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 It definitely fits the song and flows into it nicely, it's just been done so many times by this point that it's boring as fuck. As for Knights itself, I doubt I'd put it in my top 10 songs that I've seen live. There's quite a lot of other songs that I haven't seen that I'd put above it as well, but I guess that's a slightly less fair comparison. My top 10 probably looks something like this: Hyper Music Dead Star Stockholm Syndrome Dark Shines Take A Bow New Born (Leeds/Reading 2011 version, none of that slowed down, no piano bollocks) Butterflies & Hurricanes Unnatural Selection Plug In Baby Space Dementia I'm at a disdvantage here because I've only been to one gig, so I'll concede that. The lyrics, the vocal delivery, the over-the-topness, the choir... a silly song. It's supposed to be silly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromTexas Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I think hoodoo sucks majorly. Exo-politics is the 2nd best song on BHAR TIRO is balls, and I get embarrassed when playing it in the car with friends. Cave is a top 5 muse track. I love feeling good and don't understand the hate (it's an amazing cover of a good song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(for me at least not) Yes, it's a great cover, but live it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hoodoo is one of the most intriguing songs Muse have ever done. It's a shame it only lasted a tour. I'd love to see a full guitar version live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiRo is the song that got me into Muse, but that aside I struggle to see how someone who likes the band could hate it It's boring and a waste of time. If Muse would at least have the decency to rotate it with Hysteria that would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiRo is the song that got me into Muse, but that aside I struggle to see how someone who likes the band could hate it I'd have to agree that it's kind of boring.

Jedi of Cydonia Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 How... Granted a lot of it does have to do with the editing and processing but I just think it's really unique and cool how many different interesting sounds he produces with the guitar in the track.
