Zerikou Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I happen to love that song. Why such animosity towards it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I don't, it's equally as good as much of the rest of OoS. The piano versions from 2002 were immensely good . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozza Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The album version should have been played on piano. It is a good song, its just not as heavy/fast as the rest of OoS which is why some people have decided its shit. Its far better than most of Muse's other slower songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murtain Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I love screenager. Although I can understand that it does not follow quite the other songs in Origin of symmetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seregon Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I don't hate it I just find it very difficult to listen too after the first seven songs on the album it just makes me feel uncomfortable, on its own though its a very respectable song and the live version on Hullaballoo is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U-Mos Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 One of the best songs on OoS, I think. I will never understand why people hate it so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I don't hate it I just find it very difficult to listen too after the first seven songs on the album it just makes me feel uncomfortable, on its own though its a very respectable song and the live version on Hullaballoo is amazing I think that sums up what I think of it too. It just doesn't feel right to put it there after seven pretty heavy songs in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 It's an excellant song but I used to skip it because it never sounded right after the rest of OoS. Took me ages to actually appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*OoS* Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I love it... why would anyone not like Screenager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecitizeneraser Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Screenager is a gorgeous and chilling song... I certainly don't hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WutDaFucksy Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 i don't hate it, but i don't listen to it much.... after the start of OOS, find it difficult to listen to slower songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellacotton Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I love it... why would anyone not like Screenager? +1 It's essential Muse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynzi Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Since when did people hate Screenager? I for one think it's a beautiful song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exo-Politician Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I love Screenager, in fact I prefer Screenager to Megalomania. One of my friend put all songs of Oos except Screenager. And still it makes me wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewington Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I'd have to agree with everyone else really, it is a strange place to put a slow song and when i listen to OoS having that song after 7 heavy songs just makes me wonder why because i find it hard to listen to after that.

Raiko Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I think the problem lies with the tracklisting itself. 1. Space Dementia 2. New Born 3. Bliss 4. Screenager 5. Hyper Music 6. Plug In Baby 7. Citizen Erased 8. Micro Cuts 9. Dark Shines 10. Feeling Good 11. Megalomania Had the above been the album tracklisting, Screenager would have worked as a good break between the heavier material. Either way you look at it though, it's a great song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U-Mos Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 To be honest, I don't really see the first 7 tracks as "heavy". I mean, they technically are, but to me they're... not. 'Cept for Hyper Music. Explained that well, didn't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayth-in-Flyght Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I don't think Screenager sticks out at all, the whole of OoS is kinda dark and twisted to me, no matter what amount of heaviness - Screenager fits in perfectly; it has the creepy guitar and the bones, it's all about the mood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vero! Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I think it's a good song. It's not the song I most like of the album, but it's good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaming nora Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 it's not the greatest song, but it is really nice to listen to when you want to chill out, you just have to be in that mood, a screenagery type mood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie.B Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Its the song i usually forget and can never remember how it goes. Tis' not very distinctive but meh, i don't hate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static shadows Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Some people don't like screenager! After Hyper Chondriac Music its my favourites of their slow/dark/melodic songs (or whatever you want to call it). The piano versions from 2002 were immensely good . Nah, guitar version ftw.

Zerikou Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 lol well, in response to any quetioning why I though people hated Screenager in the first place, it's because when I got here, I saw a few people bashing the song, and just assumed that was the common feeling towards it here. Anyways, I personally believe it fits just fine with the rest of the album... sure, it's slower, but I think it's beautiful. Plus, the mood is set right along with the rest.
