Tunavi Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 okay. listening now. I have braced myself. be back in 30 seconds or 60 with opinion. expecting poppy music with cheesy lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suvi Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Really? I was expecting WAYYY worse to be honest. Plus, its only 30 seconds. and that god damn awful chorus will be heard at least, say 3 times when the whole song is out. ahh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkle19 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 At least it's upbeat....I guess that's it's only (very small) redeeming feature. I was expecting the second coming of GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozza Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 ITT: People implying that Muse has ever had lyrics that weren't cheesy or downright crap. Well yes they do have lots of cheesy and crap lyrics. Doesn't make these ones any less cheesy or crap. And the cheesy crap is getting more and more frequent and more and more prominent in the setlists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interpolpirate Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 and that god damn awful chorus will be heard at least, say 3 times when the whole song is out. ahh Quite possibly. In fairness a LOT of muse songs have pretty cringeworthy lyrics but still turn out out to be immense: "Ohh baby don't you know I suffer/Oh baby cant you hear mean moan"..."I just wanted to hold/you in my arms"...."Love is our resistance"...pretty much all of uprising. To name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulDrift Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Wow, so only last week does Uprising peak on Hot AC in the US (which is the band's first song to place on Hot AC radio) at 14.. now it's dropping with a new song well timed to go for adds next week. And it's a perfect snippet for mainstream US radio -- generic, cheesy, boring. Hope the rest of the song is better, but given what I've heard, this might be the 2nd song on Hot AC. So THIS is Warner's strategy... Conclusion: They've gone pop, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, this reminds me of 'Resistance' - cliche' chorus, strong tenor vocals, boring music. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneWhoGoes Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Now compare that piece of crap with the dark beauties we got in OOS or Absolution. I'm out of words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozza Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 They've always been pop though! And Uprising is a very good pop song, it balances wide-ranging appeal with keeping a very Muse-like sound. It's kinda like TIRO in that sense. It's these naff ballads and cheesy love songs like Starlight and Resistance that I can't stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahSwan Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 about the 30 second Sneek Peek...(whatever I might say here, I still LOVE Muse very much!) But...... ...so far, the lyrics sound too direct for my taste. What I LOVE so much about Matt's songs is how the meanings are vague and versatile, with many interpretations. Usually the words give me an instense feeling, without actually telling me what I'm supposed to feel. Like, instead of singing "love is forever", he'd sing something cryptic, but it would make me feel that love is forever. But if he sings "love is forever", there's much less magic about it. But, Oh My God, I still love Muse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, they have been laughing like hyenas since the release of TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
