OscarC Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 This song is the best. Ever. It is a work of genius. It is up there with the gods of rock. The dynamics, and intervals in it are perfect. It is. The best. Thank you Muse. Also i would like to say that i watched a video of them playing it at reading (redding?) and the crowd didn't look interested at all..

Nimpo46 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Well it's not really a song you can mosh too, and I sometimes feel that the vocals are a little weaker live... but i've never seen it live so it might be just the quality of the videos i've seen... It definitely is a great song though, it was one of my favorites instantly when Absolution came out. The "throuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggghhhhhh" part is just perfection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimpo46 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yes! That part is amazing. the synth part in the middle of it... sounds like the reverse of the synth part in Endlessly... it's only a quick comparison i made i haven't been bothered to listen closely enough to see if i'm even remotely right... EDIT: k i just did... and endlessly changes chords where it doesn't in AP... so there you go... lol... but they're still similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy_mary Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 didnt actually like it till i heard it live.. somehow the drums are so much better than the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 One of my favorites. It still sends chills down my spine every time I hear the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seregon Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Live, yes it's great. The drums and the pounding of the piano are amazing. It makes a good album opener but I'm not as keen on the studio version or most songs on absolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpsy Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 It still sends chills down my spine every time I hear the finale. Same here Tis an amazing song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static shadows Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Actually along with Invincible, Uno and Balloonatic its one of the very few muse songs i don't like. It's just a bit dull. 'Dum dum, Dum dum, Dum dum, Dum dum Dum dum' The synth part with the random wailing is pretty good none the less tho. Alright as an intro, but a below average song.

robertomx Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Well it's a fantastic song indeed. Since the first time I heard it I really liked it, although many people say it's nothing special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsertCreativeNameHere Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Its a good song, but its not one of their best, its not even in the top 10. So why does everyone rave over it? Its just a simple piano riff and a few electronic sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Clown Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 a simple piano riff with a few electronic sounds...LOL Basically, the same reason everyone bums.. CE, MC, Bliss, COD, MM, showbiz etc etc... Its just a good song, get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Just because you don't think it's so good, doesn't mean we agree. AP is my second favourite Muse song, it just sums up perfectly why I love Muse's piano based music, along with Hoodoo, Ruled By Secrecy, Megalomania, etc. It's just epic and crashy and awesome. + The lyrics aren't half bad for once. The bridge bits are seriously orgasmic too, particularly with the new drumbeat Dom does live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a simple piano riff and a few electronic sounds. Cause people have different tastes. The bolded bit, nearly every Muse song on piano is simple and pretty much all their electronic effects are quite simplistic as well. Why I enjoy the song: It's simple, yet original. Everything about the song is strong. Strong theme, massive drums, massive piano, massive wailing. It has power. It's just a grand way to start the album.

Murtain Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 One of their best songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I love it because it was quite unlike anything I'd heard before. As I've just said (and probably pissed you off by doing so!) in another thread, when I first heard it I was blown away and confirmed as a Muse fan!

WutDaFucksy Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 probably their best piano song...i also love Ruled by Secrecy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I was always under the impression we were allowed to choose which songs we like and which we don't - I'm not a sheep, I'd like AP even if every single member of this forum hated it. As people have said, we like different sounds. I personally dislike Citizen (great song, don't get me wrong, just heard it too many times to appreciate it as much as I should now) whilst a lot of Musers may love it. Likewise, I love The Gallery whilst a lot of Musers may dislike it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking why everyone goes crazy over this song, I wasn't saying you can't like this song. I like Apocalypse Please, I think its good, but not great.

New Born Lee Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Listening to it right now. I've realised how much I underestimate it. I never slated it, but I never listened to it either. I really must stick it on my regular playlist. Thiiiiss iiiiisss the ennnd!!!! It also tends to make TIRO sound better afterwards. Edit: Or maybe that's just from lack of listening to TIRO...damn, I've been hooked on B-sides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
