FabriPav Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Bliss is so highly rated thanks to the live ending imo. The studio one is underwhelming compared to most of its live performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizutsu Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I think Big Freeze is one of the best on T2L. T2L is better than OoS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Because live it is so so good Bliss is so highly rated thanks to the live ending imo. The studio one is underwhelming compared to most of its live performances I've heard it live, but it's still kind of meh. I mean it's better than Guiding Light, but I'm not all "ERHMERGERD BLIIIIRSSS." I'd much rather hear CE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaking Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Uprising, UD, IBTY, Overture, Cross-Pollination and Redemption are all better than US and MK. Other songs being better than those don't make them bad/boring, it just means the other ones are good. I'll agree most of those are better than US but not MK. The Resistance without GL and Resistance is actually a pretty damn good album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frakkles Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Muse are getting worse live. People who say they aren't are kidding themselves. Every time they release new material, the new songs seem to be the only ones they put any effort into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altbecky Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Worse is subjective. Technically, I think they're better...particularly Dom. Creatively, (jamming, spontaneous riffage, ad lib type stuff) I definately see a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Industrial is something I'd imagine them to do quite well. Songs like Forced in, whilst not industrial, I think give a good look at what they could do if they really gave it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An album of stuff like Forced In and Isolated System (meaning sort of ambient and not very climactic like most Muse songs) I think would be fantastic.

With a couple of bad ass songs like Shrinking Universe. I would fucking love this. Shame it'll almost definitely not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it probably won't happen unless Muse decide to actually stick with one style on an album. But maybe a few tracks of the sort would be nice. IS was a great example of Muse using all the strings and choirs and layers and still finding a way to tie it all down and keep it from being bombastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they would make good with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they would make good with that. If I remember BH&R went through a stage where it was extremely proggy but it made some of the popper tracks like SMBH sounds really disjointed, and it was when they got that more electronic and dance influence that those tracks came together and the proggy tracks were cut down. Might have been cool to see them go all out with the progressive stuff and multi-albums, but they trimmed the songs down for a reason so maybe it wouldn't have ended up as great. Then again looking at what they did with Assassin it could've just been another butchering of the songs' early versions. All seems to go back to consistency really. I really loved The 2nd Law but I really want to see them try and delve deep into a general style and see how well they work with that. T2L felt like a lot of really good ideas that were cutoff once the song ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaking Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I want the 8 or so tracks that weren't released from the BH&R era. I have this feeling they were really good and Muse are stupid for not releasing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomuse Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Feeling Good and Time is Running Out are fantastic live. I really like the "could be wrong could be wrong" part in Resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though, I wouldn't have been surprised if it was a similar situation to what happened with Assassin. I definitely agree with what you said about The 2nd Law. It's the mark of a band going through an identity crisis, but damn if the songs aren't good. That quality of song out into a more cohesive album would have been amazing. If they ever work with a producer again, it would be interesting to see how differently things could end up. Part of me wants to see them locked in a room with only their instruments for a week or so. No synth, no orchestra, just them and a couple of guitars.

FabriPav Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Same for UD. UD is fucking awesome, on record. An album of stuff like Forced In and Isolated System (meaning sort of ambient and not very climactic like most Muse songs) I think would be fantastic.
