It feels...idk, maybe delegitimising is the word. It wouldn't be Muse if Matt wasn't talking out of his arse half the time though, so at least there's consistency there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightofcydonia Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I loved the CE remix. It doesn't replace the original, but listening to it felt like I was discovering it all over again. Definitely sounds a lot cleaner, and the guitar reminds me of the live version. What I miss the most are the sirens at the end. I do love the strings that come out in the remix, but the ending doesn't feel as powerful. The Megalomania remix sounds fantastic. Looking forward to the rest of the album!

That Little Animal Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Megalomania sounds great! I alway thought that one missed the depth it deserved. Much better layering now, in both the loud and quiet bits, though the drums in the loud bits suffer from the same issue as the CE remix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt like the pipe organ needed so much more space than the original album gave it, and the remix has made it so much more grandiose. The strings too were greatly improved.

Claudia O Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Positive: I love the strings and that you can hear the organ much better! It is cleaner. There‘s a bass which fits perfectly! Negative: the loud drums. Matt‘s gasping for air and you can hear his mumbling of the lyrics better. For me it‘s a different song now, with a different feeling to it. Reminds me of the RAH performance 😊 Edited June 5, 2021 by Claudia O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Aye, Meg actually sounds pretty great for the most part. Outro in particular really lets those vocals shine in a brill way. Strings are a bit heavy at the start for me and I feel like the organ could be just a hair more prominent. Mainly just the drums again though, is that gonna be a recurring thing? It’s not as bad as CE at times but they just sound flat in comparison to everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen_Eraser Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 CE is great, but there are some stylistic changes that will be hit or miss for some people (clean guitar tone change, outro strings, missing phase sounds in outro). But Megalomania IMO just sounds better in every way. The bass in the chorus is SO good. Previously could only hear that in live performances. I don't feel like I'd honestly have any reason to listen to the OG mix of Megalomania now but original CE will still serve a purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it would be too much of a deviation from the original album to edit those out now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svenisms Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Mildly surprised Matt's gasps were left in! I don't have an issue with them personally but they seem like something that would be on Matt's chopping block! Gotta say I'm loving this version of Mega! I'm a little ashamed to admit it but this is one track that I've always considered objectively great but didn't pay much mind to but the strings are a small addition but add a lot imo.

If the drums in Hyper Music, New Born and Space Dementia end up with the same issue, any improvements to those songs will basically be wasted.

I haven't listened to Megalomania in years and this has renewed my interest. The new intro is very good. Also the first guitar solo in CE XX sounds like the one from 2001 Le Zenith concert, so I figure it's totally legit. All of these are using original recordings.

Habanero Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I bought a set of vinyl around release time… 2 digital downloads were included of CE and Megalomania… I received the link to CE and downloaded that fine but Megalomania is still showing as pending… anybody else know anything?

Citizen_Eraser Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Clip of Microcuts just got posted. Its nice to have something new but seems like the bass got neutered in this mix. But that additional vocal is ace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7TOd9-CDKQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a shame, the simple bouncy beefy bass line is essential. Did they announce when they’ll release the full version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
