haarpuna Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Bliss is not that great. Now shoot me Oh, and cause someone mentioned covers, I really dig Muse's version of Please Let Me Get What I Want (no idea if that's really controversial, but I've heard people voice their disliking of it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigapoodle Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 i don't think this is controversial, but i find myself as one of the few ppl who actually like (and talk about) their "house of the rising sun" cover. just saying. carry on. I think it's their best cover by a long shot. The Animals' is better, but that's because theirs is legendary. Tbh that cover's probably in my Top 15-20.

mr.jingles Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 As someone who thinks Kid A is one of the three best albums ever released (Alongside with Animals and The Fragile) I have to strongly disagree. But I can understand that you may not like it after one/two listens. It needed a hell of a long time to grow on me (about a year, exactly). I love it now. I've been trying for 10 years and I still don't get it. The only praise I can give the band is for daring to put out something so different, but personally I find the album to be soulless. A great album has to move me emotionally in a way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.jingles Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 NSC is not the end of the world. That's a thoughtful opinion, not a controversial one. If every single song on the new Muse album sounded like NSC, then it would be controversial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meep Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Kid A is amazing, I loved it from the beginning. Never felt so good dancing to national anthem live with Thom dancing away in front of us <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurophu Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) i feel like it didn't take me long enough to like kid A perhaps i'm not appreciating it on some other level but i loved it after 'bout two listens.. edit- i have something actually to do with muse to say as well.. muse and radiohead have differentiated in many ways, one being that bellamy's voice has gotten worse and yorke's voice has possibly gotten better (as far as i can see [not very far]) Edited May 23, 2010 by futurophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-museing Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 People freak out about the genre of Muse's music too much. Truth. Who cares if its pop or rock or pirate metal? As long as its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WutDaFucksy Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Truth. Who cares if its pop or rock or pirate metal? As long as its good. But the thing is to me Muse's more pop-style songs are way worse than their rockier ones, just a personal preference. I don't care what genre it is as long as it is good but if it sounds bad to me it is usually their pop side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't matter what genre it is. If you prefer Muse rock songs to pop songs thats also fine. But some people get so caught up in the whole 'Is Muse rock or pop argument?'

It's apparently really horrible to be pop nowadays, according to a lot of the musers on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper_chondriac_muser Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 The pop/rock arguement is simply 'cos people like to understand things by categorising them (patronising as that sounds, lol). And because Muse are throwing out so many different styles of songs lately, some can't tell what message they're trying to send out. Are they trying to attract a poppier market with the likes of songs on Twilight soundtracks and releasing their 'softest' songs as singles? And if so, does that mean they're abandoning their rock sound etc.? It doesn't matter greatly to me (apart from the abandoning rock... which I highly doubt they'd do), it's simply that I prefer louder, angrier Muse songs as opposed to their soft and corny ones - it's easier to deem the former as rock and the latter as pop cos that's pretty much how most people group songs. It's how I understand them anyways, lol. There's nothing wrong with pop songs - if we're talking 'popular', then Muse have produced pop-rock from the get. Sunburn, Plug In Baby, Time Is Running Out are radio-friendly and charted well; Starlight, Invincible, Undisclosed Desires and NSC are catchier still (even though not all of them did that great in the singles-stakes). I prefer the former half. Anyways, not sure what my point is anymore ... oh yes, I wants more rocky Mooze . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah... not caring is the norm around here . Well, for half the people on here. The other half care TOO much, hehe. Definitely sensible. Just people put wayyyy too much weight on one song. . It's a standalone track, it's new and it features on a film soundtrack that most people dislike (the film); so, naturally almost everyone's going to judge it ruthlessly and base the 'future of Muse' on it. Stupid, really, but it's a typical reaction. Eventually the craziness dies down, and we're back to song-bashing and moaning lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I get it Genre doesn't matter to me either, I just prefer some songs to others but I fall down sometimes and just generalize the ones I don't like as "pop" which is wrong I don't go into the Muse rock or pop argument, I just think they are Muse and play all sorts of different styles, some which I like, some which I don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I've seen is people going, "I hate Muse now, this is the end of them, they're going to go all pop on their next album and it will be gross because it's not OoS 2," or something like that. -The Small Print is better than City Of Delusion.
