LewisF Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm more than happy to state when I dislike a Muse song, but I love Guiding Light, Explorers, Big Freeze, and to a slightly less controversial extent, Revolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Explorers, and the beginning of Aftermath until the chorus "..from this moment..." If you're fooling us tough....: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I like Explorers and do think its a little under-rated, even if its a bit twee. Revolt is ok - not hateworthy, but not amazing. By this point its almost as a reflex that I will skip Big Freeze and Aftermath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) On Aftermath, I do tend to skip it if it comes up, but I don't think it's bad. Pretty cheesy of course, but alright imo Edited September 24, 2017 by LewisF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vixi Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Revolt is fucking great. It sounded so boring live, but it's not amongst their worst works in my opinion. Just slightly above, but still above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Revolt would be one of my favorite tracks, likely, if those chorus lyrics didn't make me weren't so insultingly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) It sounded so boring live, but it's not amongst their worst works in my opinion. Just slightly above, but still above. It's one of their very few tracks that (at least to me) sound much better in their studio version than the live one. In live performances I watched on video, it seems it just didn't come out as lively and energic as on the album; if anything (and that's a bit discouraging), the band looked nearly always not-so-motivated while performing it, and almost seemingly bored as you said. It's a real pity, because - in opposition to what many claim - I find the tempo changes funny and quite creative, considering it's "just" a somewhat pop-rock song, and I think it manages to deliver the right amount of punchiness in spite of its "cheese" just because of how happy it sounds, in contrast to NSC.

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 What's creative about it? The "squash-and-stretch" tempo changes between verses and choruses may be simple, but are effective and quite amusing. And the pulsing, continuously-panning synth during verses combined with the guitar feedbacks creates a nice "wall of sound" that greatly contributes to the song atmosphere and mood. These elements could be deemed creative in their simplicity. Yeah, they're not groundbreaking (not even in a thousand years), but creative nonetheless, considering - I'll repeat myself - we're talking about what should be taken as a pop-rock track.

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 wall of sound "Wall of sound" doesn't necessarily translate in "tight comparts of distorted electric guitars assaulting your ears", it could also refer to a Spector-like approach. And, look, if you want to discuss civically without underlining a single term just to laugh like an idiot about it everything will be fine, otherwise we're done here.

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Sorry but I don't feel like writing paragraphs arguing about whether Revolt is terrible or not. (it is) Don't play silly, you know very well what I'm talking about: the substantial difference between expressing your contrary opinion properly (not necessarily writing epic poems, of course) and running the others' ones down by laughing stupidly over a single term drawn from the whole speech. You think Revolt is terrible? It's perfectly fine, just write it from the start without deriding who you're interacting with. Simple as that.

Jobby Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Starlight’s fallen off a cliff since ‘06 and even ‘11 but it’s still been a highlight of most gigs I’ve gone to and I love Matt’s barrier walk (that last part may be swung by bias of me actually getting involved in it at Leeds).

Gemsy Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I have been listening to Drones a lot more and am lovin it hahaha I sometimes think what would past-aged-19-Showbiz-fan-me think if I went back in time and played her this future muse...

kueller Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'm still not used to Matt without the guitar. Chorus loses all power. I really like the song in its original form which is probably my controversial opinion contribution, so I miss that little punch it had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Starlight is fine, Uprising is a tragedy. So far I've gotten 2x Matt fondling his tits and 1x Matt staring at his feet so hard in one spot I thought he was going to fall over. I don't even care if he plays it, just sling a guitar on him and have him at least walk around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
