Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Maybe WAFF will just be Muse's take on WAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo59 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) We are fucking fucked has me most excited. Hoping it'll be a fun KOC-type closer, or some kind of early-Muse era Yes Please-style song. Edited March 15, 2022 by Timbo59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's not get too upset about him potentially rhyming Verona with corona. TBH it would be weird for Muse not to explore lyrically themes related to the shitshow of the last two years. Knowing Matt's poor lyrics (still don't know how 'the final solution' made it onto a single) it probably will be a bit cringey in places, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt till we actually hear any more tracks. I guess we'll find out when Compliance drops. Edited March 15, 2022 by Timbo59 bad grammar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have to wait until we can dissect those lyrics before we slam the judge hammer upon Matt (some more). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Little Animal Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) So, Compliance is objectively shit and will als be in my head all day after one listen. Oh, and everything I said before in this thread about Matt appealing to the wrong crowd still applies, though these lyrics (and the (red?) pill imagery in the video could easily imply that he’s including conspiracy theory peddlers as part of the evil “they”. CoVid deniers will love it though. EDIT: Obligatory third listen update: this is this album’s Dead Inside. Initial boyband vibe, fakeout for those who were expecting something a bit more ‘heavy’, but pretty damn crafty in the end. Not so shit after all.

That Little Animal Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Also, as an album, I’d say this confirms Drones 2.0. Stuff about complying and becoming someone’s toy soldier fits right in. Now about that boyband groove… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Little Animal Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I get Matt’s blurb about gangs a bit better now too (gangs not having been part of his previous subjects, grievances or musings). Lyrics definitely lean more towards joining a gang, cult or religion than government control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silentgod86 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I think Matt must be deliberately tolling with the lyrics. Kind reading is that it's anti neo capitalist, that we're buying into a false utopia of an easy life with wants answered by the touch of a screen. On the other hand it sounds like an appeal to those who resist complying with mask and lockdown rules because it's a form of control. It feels forcefully and needlessly ambiguous which leads me to have to put Matt in the bad lyricist bucket to explain it away in my head. If the rest of the album is like this, I'm probably going to give up on Matt unless he makes some unambiguous statements about his lyrics. Not a fan of the song yet, feels like an extension of the 2nd Law which is, by far, least liked Muse album. It sounds like the product of a one night stand between Uprising and Madness, fostered by Undisclosed Desires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentgod86 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Oh, since it's the Music Video director put it up, I think it's safe to share the link:https://vimeo.com/688432698 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
