chawknz Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Muse started down a slippery slope when they stopped writing songs which broke clich, and instead started making songs which compiled clich. Â Well said. This new song is dreadful, just as I feared. It's a terrible mashup of Invincible, Resistance, and Knights of Cydonia. Unfortunately it lacks the heart and soul of those songs and instead we have Muse music run through the generic pop machine.

Â Kudos to you too for summing up how I feel exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyna Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It makes me sad that people are so negative about this song. I mean, it's one thing to simply not like it - that's a personal thing - and it's another thing to say they suck because it isn't another [any of their early songs]. I've been sceptical at first when I've seen the preview but the song is growing on me. Don't really care about NSC being another Twilight song because I don't care much about Twilight. But I think it's still quite an honour for Muse to be included or rather have this as the lead single of the soundtrack. Don't like it? Ignore it. Sure there are a lot of obnoxious people out there who just recognize them by SBH being on the first soundtrack, but at least they listen to Muse. There are worse things. Â I really like the song, I like the lyrics (they're not worse or better than any of their previous songs/lyrics and fit the theme of the movie well) and I love the piano part!

musex Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Muse will never be the same , Exogenesis was an exception , a masterpiece , I must say . In my opinion Matt is completely leading the band and the others tend to obey . We'll see . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I like it now okay, but if it continues in the same direction, I might not like where it ends up. Does that make any sense? Â Oh, and you're right, that was an excellent preview picture.

MissOrange94 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 We can't lose heart. They still did MK and US, so who knows, like Matt said in that interview ^^^^ they're getting older, and their life is changing. He also said his life has been very unpredictable. Maybe he'll find another woman that he really loves, and that will spark his more creative side again, like when he was younger. I know they've been heading downhill, but each album sounds different... we've got a year or two before they make a new one. So it's too early to tell what will happen. So don't give up on them, yet!

chawknz Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It's just scary that the songs they've released since The Resistance have been absolute garbage. I fear their next CD will be more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamuscasio Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 some people keep comparing NSC to older muse songs, but do they really listen to (and actually like) all these old songs? try comparing this to bedroom acoustic or hate this n ill love you, for example, NSC is better IMO. (dont compare this to citizen erased, its not on the same class of epicness) NSC has its own weak parts: the lyrics, some might say. or the chorus, arpeggios or whatever. but not every song is perfect for everyone. Spiral static for example, is an old song. it has great chorus, i love it. and thats the only part of the song that i actually like.the intro part or verse is just not my taste. but as a whole i love spiral static. and i quite love NSC too.
