Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I'm listening to ABBA's Super Trooper album right now, and I'm on the penultimate track, Lay Your All Love On Me. And I was shocked when the chorus came in because I knew I recognized that melody anywhere, it's the same melody Muse use on Unnatural Selection during the part "counter balance this commotion, we're not droplets in the ocean." How interesting! I would've thought if Matt got that particular melody from anywhere else it would've been from one of his favorite romantic era composers, but there it is in an ABBA song! Here's the song for comparison: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Matt has talked about his love for ABBA a couple of times, and mentioned it as an inspiration for one album, can't remember if it was The Resistance or Black Holes & Revelations. This comparison in particular was made very frequently back in 2009. So much that it's actually mentioned in the Musewiki. https://musewiki.org/Unnatural_Selection_(song) I honestly recommend reading the page for every song for tidbits like this edit: What I could find was that Dom mentioned ABBA as an influence for Absolution. https://musewiki.org/3VOOR12_2003-09-24_–_Interview_with_Dominic_Howard_of_Muse Edited January 21, 2022 by Hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
