Silentgod86 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Very little about the album itself. My impression is that Zane Lowe will listen to the album and interview Matt again at some point. Not sure if that's today or like a week or month down the line..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen_Eraser Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I can't believe its August. I was really expecting it in the next few weeks or like May at the latest. This better not be like Drones where they keep releasing songs and then by album release we've heard 70% of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodius Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Not for me unfortunately. Maybe I'll have the same reaction to ST where I hated all the singles until Dark Side came out and I switched opinions but so far meh. Compliance is crap and WSD is mid at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMalignoXXX Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) 37 minutes long confirms my worries about the number of songs. Also, all tracks <4 minutes gives low chances to do proper progressive song with real building and to listen to the symphonic-epic MUSE. Looks like it will have the same taste of small concept and simple-structured songs that ST has. Not hyped Not sure why they need to wait until August to release an album that they have more than finished. By august mer we will have already listened to half of the themes.

UlsterMuse Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Still struggling to understand what’s so exclusive about the collectors edition album compared to the signed one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo59 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Longer version of Compliance is even better. The falsetto is a nice little addition. Edited March 17, 2022 by Timbo59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallyPissed Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Whatever comes of the new album, I just hope "We Are F*cking F*cked" is "Drones" part 2, where Matt repeatedly sings "We are f*cking f*cked" a capella. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 37 minutes long and have to wait until August? That's a bit cringe. Quite like Compliance though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentgod86 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 So we have a 5 1/2 month wait for a 37 album with no alternate versions. I think it's time to stand down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three tracks over 4 mins, two of them basically 5. Honestly, the wait to August is weird and sucks arse but I never get the complaints over length. There’s nothing stopping a short album from being great and nothing about a longer album that guarantees it being any better. People moan when albums have filler or repetitive songs like Psycho, but then get pessimistic about a shorter track length. I know they’re not mutually exclusive but come on ladssss, why is negativity always the default? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they’re not mutually exclusive but come on ladssss, why is negativity always the default? Yes, a short album with short songs can be great. Or not. But for sure what it is difficult to think is that it will be an album with progressive developed rock songs, which is what Muse used to do and what I would like to hear at least in a decent percentage of the new material. Specially coming from a LP like ST that also lacks on this. I just made a comment based in my personal opinion in which waiting 4 years for 37 minutes of new material (and not so brilliant based on the 20% of it) feelss poor. And you are wrong: being long does not necessary implies that you will get repetitive, the same with the opposite. A short song can get repetitive and cumbersome as hell like Pressure, Undisclosed Desires, Mercy or....

The amount of Muse’s discography that is 5+ minutes progressive rock is very minimal. It’s not really ever been ‘what they do’. Why anyone would still go into a Muse record expecting that after all this time is beyond me, especially when there’s been no suggestion of it. Time between releases doesn’t equate or correlate to the amount that’s gonna be produced on the next one either. Plus, let’s be honest, even the saddest among us have lives and haven’t spent the last 4 years waiting for a new Muse record. There’s a difference between waiting for something and time elapsing. 15 minutes ago, DrMalignoXXX said: And you are wrong: being long does not necessary implies that you will get repetitive, the same with the opposite. A short song can get repetitive and cumbersome as hell like Pressure, Undisclosed Desires, Mercy or.... Compliance Not wrong, acknowledged exactly this at the end of my post. These things aren’t mutually exclusive but the last few ~55 minute Muse albums all had songs that people said should either be trimmed down or cut completely. If those records had done that and gone with a shorter length, you’d get complaints like we are now about it being too short. Each album is what it is, you’re either gonna like a certain amount of it or not. We can’t moan about extra minutes of music without knowing what those extra minutes would’ve been. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo59 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) The optimal album length for me is between like 32 and 45 minutes. Anything longer than that is almost guaranteed to have some filler. So I'm really not fussed with a more streamlined Muse album, assuming all the songs are decent. What's the closest thing we have so far to compare a Muse piano ballad to an Adele piano song? Edited March 17, 2022 by Timbo59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
