Yellow Regret Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Yes, this review will be kinder if the reviewer went to Oxegen instead. Well obviously, it was a better gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozza Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Well obviously, it was a better gig. The Metro gave the first night at the O2 2/5. If only they'd gone to the second night and reviewed that one instead and given them a 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozza Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The bastards. Wasn't that due to a shit crowd though? The setlist and performance was hardly inspiring though. Crowd was far better the next day because the setlist had more energetic songs in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The setlist and performance was hardly inspiring though. Crowd was far better the next day because the setlist had more energetic songs in it. Also they had decided to do Children in Need earlier that day and also had to rush halfway across London to get to the O2 on time which hardly helped.

Crowd was far better the next day because the setlist had more energetic songs in it. Ah, I thought I remembered something about people not responding to New Born? Anyway, in future those stupid reviewers should just watch Haarp on DVD and review it for every show Muse do, as it is how consistently good they are.

haze015 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 They do try to be cool. Then once it was a massive success they started backing Muse again but it seems they've got fed up of them again This and the Glasto review read like they were written by a frustrated fan than someone trying to be cool. Headlining two festivals being shown on the TV in quick succession and putting on the same show? (A few changes to the setlist is only going to matter to huge fans) That's a grave error right there as people will become bored, also, why pay £50+ to go see them when they'll probably be on TV again next week?

LyraSilvertongue Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 A bit off topic but who else expects their next album to do better in America but worse in the UK? I predict a return to form on the next album given what they've been saying recently in interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Regret Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Why do you think it will do worse in the UK? There was alot of positive media hype before The Resistance, and they were riding on a wave of popularity due to Twilight and Guitar Hero etc. The media now seem to be turning on them, and I think their popularity will decrease. Which is a shame, as I think the next album will be far better than The Resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a shame, as I think the next album will be far better than The Resistance. Depends on a few things: 1. What the last single is of The Resistance Era (if the last thing people remember of them is NSC then that will be interesting) 2. How huge the Wembley gigs are (the last ones were mega huge) 3. How festivals and one-offs in the interim go (V Fest 2008?, RAH?) 4. How the first single from the album goes down 5. Whether the 'critics' think it's any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Regret Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I predict: 1. What the last single is of The Resistance Era (if the last thing people remember of them is NSC then that will be interesting) Shit. 2. How huge the Wembley gigs are (the last ones were mega huge) Hopefully good, (will be for me as it's my first Muse gig) but not as big. 3. How festivals and one-offs in the interim go (V Fest 2008?, RAH?) Eratic, but mostly badly. 4. How the first single from the album goes down Not too well. 5. Whether the 'critics' think it's any good They'll like it, but then DSOTM was regarded as an amazing album and "only" reached number 2. However, if they do the single for the Olympics and then bring out the album, they will be bigger than John Prescott in a pie factory. And that's big.

Tbh the only media type folk that have turned on them are NME and they still occasionally write nice stuff on their site and magazine. I haven't seen anybody else change their mind. They may have lost a lot of fans in the past year but they've also gained a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wondervale Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Smart thing they're pulling atm. Step 1) Create a front cover issue of muse based on their new album the resistance, all the muse fans purchase it. Step 2) Slag off the album, all the indie kids purchase it Step 3) Create an NME icons issue dedicated to muse, all the muse fans purchase it... twice Step 4) Slag off their glastonbury performance, all the indie kids purchase it Step 5) Create a muse front cover... See where we're going here? Nothing new here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really negative press, but they're no longer the best thing since sliced bread, they're more like the best thing since I can't believe it's not butter.

And that's big. Single for the Olympics? I was diving, you were in a position Then our start gun fired like a neutron star collision I have nothing left to lose You took your time to choose Then we told each other with no trace of fear that The hurdles don't last forever forever And if they fall, we'll look foolish together Well I, I said never Cause our run wouldn't be forever The pole vault is broken, javelins fail to distance We try to make get a gold in the boxing but no one wants a silver in discuss Hail the showjumpers, padded and proud Their horses will be loud Then they'll overtake like the swimmers in an ocean London is forever and we’ll try We’ll try together Well I, I said I could never Cause our judo, could last forever Now I’ve got nothing left to lose You take your time to choose I can release the hammer without a trace of fear That my cycling won a gold medal And Britain, we’ll be fourth together Will I, I will never Cause our olympics will be forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn't as good, in my mind I've still seen a lot of Music publications wanking over them and their live shows. I don't think they were ever treated as the best thing ever.

Obi Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 NME are twats, yes, and their other reviews of the gigs were pretty gash but the Muse one is fair enough to be honest. I enjoyed them but they definitely looked lazy, and seeing the Oxegen setlist/performance just makes me want to cry that I went to the wrong show.
