Share your controversial Muse opinions II - More Radiohead talk

[YallaYaBatteekh]

well, for Sober, anyway. Sober=favorite song on Showbiz for me.

 

Oh, it's my first time listening to "timescale keeper" version of Exo. I like it.

But I liked Exo anyway.... though it was never my favorite.

 

i like your avatar dude.

[naomithegreat]

fo shizzle.

 

Ah thanks for that! Hmm this is my first time hearing it too. Not bad.

[xbroken_ideals]

You're...you're joking aren't you? Please say you are. :'(

 

...Really?

 

Well, this is the controversial opinions thread after all.

 

I's not trollin'. I think NSC is cheesy and RbS is boring. But NSC is, well- fun. RbS seems kind...I don't know, there's just not much going on there for me.

 

I agree with the NSC > RbS....

And I love Starlight. Not my second favorite, but more like my fourth or fifth. Just because BH&R is just an amazing album.

RbS is just so, dark and epic. Especially the ending piano bit. NSC can be fun, though you can only take so much "fun" for so long.

RBS Has good piano, amazing lyrics(One of my favorites by Matt), and the vocals at the end just gives me the chills.

NSC > RbS

I know you aren't. I tend to listen to NSC more than RbS myself.

But I still think RbS is a better song.

[Davinq]

RBS is just about Muse's only song with any hint of subtlety. At all. It is so vastly superior to a majority of their catalogue I can't believe it's even in this thread (but I guess that's the whole point of it. ).

[FearAndPanic]

Cave should have been entirely a piano song from the beginning.

[Gigapoodle]

Cave Guitar > Cave Piano.

[Hat]

Cave Guitar > Cave Piano.

Indeed.

[FearAndPanic]

Cave Guitar > Cave Piano.

 

Maybe, if it wasn't on Showbiz. With it being the first album ,a lot of the songs sound similar in terms of tone and effects. Just saying, Cave might have stood out more on Showbiz if it were on piano instead, even with its stand out vocals.

 

 

Please just give us a studio recording of Jazz Cave

 

[superimposition]

PABH will shit all over Muse at their own gig.

Well, while I strongly prefer piano Cave to guitar Cave, I think it sounds pretty awesome on acoustic guitar.

More likely to happen literally than musically.

 

Also, Supermassive Black Hole should have been the B-Side to Crying Shame

Crying Shame is a bit weak, to be honest.

[Mizutsu]

Bravo, bravo.

Crying Shame is a fantastic B-side,however it would have been a weak album track.

I'm sure this has been discussed before but Idk if this is correct:

 

the cover of Absolution: it's a picture of the Rapture, when all true christians are taken into the sky by God and taken to heaven (at the end of the world), hence all the identical shadows on the ground. The man on the ground looking up in awe is a non-christian staring in disbelief.

 

what do we think? correct?

No, they only stated it's people ascending or descending from/to the earth - it's open to interpretation which one it is.

That's what I always thought, but I'm not all that sure. I'm still confused about why the man is holding a gas mask.

 

Hm, could mean a lot of things I suppose.

I tried to like PABH, but I just don't see what's so special about them.

[MUSEirik]

I always thought there had been a poisonous gas or something, killing everybody, and he didn't die because he had the mask, and now he's like "Oh shit, everybody's dead. I'm all alone on earth!"

[FearAndPanic]

No, they only stated it's people ascending or descending from/to the earth - it's open to interpretation which one it is.

 

Whatever's going on, the guy's taken off his gas mask to look, so it's probably the end for him no matter what, and he knows it.

[Lauren.]

It's definitely some sort of apocalyptic scenario. I always imagined the people in the sky were like 'the chosen ones' and the guy on the ground had taken his mask off in awe of the people flying above.
