The Muse Thread

[tauiwi]

Not listening to it, it should be. This is one of the songs doing the rounds.

[Graceful]

I'm with Alex, I refuse to listen! :P But there are legit copies of Resistance floating around, so if it sounds like the preview then chances are it is!
I'm hoping I'll wake up tomorrow and find that they've decided to stream the song on the .mu media player, as happened this morning with Undisclosed Desire.

[Famous Old Painter]

So I'm right in guessing only the first 4 tracks are out there so far? I spent a few hours entertaining/distracting myself watching the muselive kerfuffle before. Given I've got homework that probably wasn't a good idea. Still, too late now. I'm off to bed.

[deaths_friend]

well this saves me having to get up at the ungodly hour of 8am!!

[harrisonrules]

(If the album leaks later, please post it just in the multimedia section :) you can put a link here to the multimedia section if you want)

[Lore]

Love is our resiiiiistance :guitarist:

[Imke]

Oh god ... three more days to wait. :cry: I'v decided to not spoil myself with leaked versions, I'm gonna wait til I can finally hold the album in my hands. *waitsforfridaytocome*

[cephaus]

The album has leaked

[RadioMad]

The album has leaked

It sure has.

[iPsy]

OMG! Thanks!

[w1ll1am7]

really? like no joke?

can someone please PM a link to me? :)

[Legal Princess]

Tonight, Muse is giving a private show in Paris. "Theatre du Châtelet" is the area where the concert is taking place. Actually, it's a theater. People were queuing up this morning to get tickets at the price of 30€. I knew it too late.

[Space Cadet]

Heh... #museleak is one of the top topics on twitter right now... :shocked2::laugh3: Made me do a double take.

So much for leaks being halfway secret for at least a day any more

...on the bright side, maybe all the people scratching their heads over it will become fans...

[polkahard]

Did anyone get the full leak? I have bits and pieces of the songs, but the torrent they first leaked through is all but dead. One seeder and it's not going so well. I'll keep looking. Thank you, Twitter!

[Zemy101]

:stunned:

Wait, has it actually leaked in it's entirety? Because I can't seem to find any working links neither on torrent websites nor in the multimedia section. I've even checked the official Muse forums and there doesn't seem to be any talk of it, but then I guess it's against the rules to mention anything leak-related over there. Just wondering if anyone can confirm that it's actually out there somewhere now?

You can thank twitter for that... it alerted the authorities and they clamped down from what I'm hearing. Nothing like a searchable public database of chatter to find all the major links and exterminate them.

I don't know personally that it's real, but yeah, it's apparently the whole thing.

[Zemy101]

Oh i see, thanks for clearing that up.

I actually found a link that apparently is the full thing, but I'm not going to be all that surprised if it's actually a fake like all the previous ones. Fingers crossed, though.
And since it's getting streamed on the 10th, we'll only have to wait 2 more days to hear it anyway, so yeah :D

[Legal Princess]

The CD will release by six days. I can wait. Why bother ? :dozey:

[The Escapist]

it comes out in australia on monday so i can wait till then

[Lore]

edit.

[Microcutz]

its all over the internet now.


Great cd btw.

[Sleep]

Best album ever

[w1ll1am7]

Exogenesis is wonderful

[Corkus]

Just finished a first full listen. :D

I'm not gonna give any review until I listen to the whole album at least once more, but I must at least recommend to others that you listen to Exogenesis IN FULL, rather than piece by piece.

[sa_spurs_tx]

God it's incredible.

[dkizzy]

first 8 songs are solid, Exogenesis is brilliant, absolutely the best thing Muse have ever done.

[Lore]

I love it :bomb:

[Julie]

I really like it, 4 songs on there I didn't like but the rest are really really good.

[clockpolitiks]

Great album. Maybe their best since Origin of Symmetry. Just an initial reaction.

[Corkus]

All right, so I wrote this up while listening to the full album the second time. I need food now, but the following summarizes my thoughts on each track:


Uprising – A respectable album opener, though far from the best opener in Muse history. Uprising’s greatest strength is that it’s energizing and makes you want to do some sort of movement with your body, whether it’s bop with the bass line or jump with the guitar bursts. Now that we’ve gotten used to it over the past month or so, I think it’s aged better than Eurasia and I get the song in my head often, but falls a bit short of past openers in the context of the entire album.

Resistance – Talk about a deceiving preview. The iTunes clip made it sound repetitive, but in full, this is one of the most remarkable songs on the album. The ambient intro followed by the brilliant piano is captivating, and the chorus which I initially found repetitive is now rather catchy. Of course, the whole “Love is our resistance!” part is a spectacular highlight. It could have worked well as the album opener, although I understand that the band wanted to “pump it up” a bit with Uprising. I also think the 1984 vibe here works far better than with USoE.

Undisclosed Desires – This is being declared the new Supermassive Black Hole everywhere, but I personally have a problem with this, not only because I don’t like SMBH that much, but because this blows it out of the water in every respect. It’s incredibly different from the Muse norm, and I expect it to divide the fanbase immensely, but I can foresee this becoming a huge radio hit. It’s mainstream, but it’s some of the best damn mainstream out there.

United States of Eurasia – Honestly, I’ve liked this song less and less as time goes on. I love Collateral Damage, and the main USoE aspect may work better in a stadium, but not only is it weak lyrically, but the composition may have gone a little too overboard. It’s not even the Queen comparisons that bug me; rather, I think it’s overdramatized. The band has joked about this and say that’s the intention, but that doesn’t prevent this from being one of the weaker songs. This album does large-scale epics better elsewhere.

Guiding Light – When we were told of a classic guitar riff in this song, I suppose I was expecting the second coming of Plug In Baby rather than the second coming of Invincible. (Not that I dislike Invincible or anything.) Still, though it has its cheesy moments, on the whole I think this is a respectable mid-album power ballad. On the weaker half of the album but could make a good future single.

Unnatural Selection – If this isn’t the next New Born, then it’s the closest thing since. Let’s face it – Muse may never return to the style of Origin of Symmetry. Still, this is the next best thing. Awesome riff, raw lyrics, uplifting chorus, mysterious bridge, epic breakdown. It’s already been played live once (which I had resisted watching videos of since I wanted to hear studio versions first), and I can imagine it making a huge splash. Certainly one of the top tracks of the album.

MK Ultra – This one hasn’t clicked with me yet, and may have to grow on me. It’s a good song but I’m just not seeing this one stand out among the crowd. It’s fast and heavy and that’s about all I can think of to say about it. I do love the final 30 seconds, but give me time with this one.

I Belong to You – The most surprising and the most deceptive song on the album. I went in expecting an average song based on the preview. I came out with my ears having sex with my iTunes. Appropriately, it’s quite the sexy song. Certainly one of Muse’s more interesting songs musically (especially the…clarinet solo?), the use of French lyrics only makes it more interesting from there. Speaking of which, I feel Matt’s voice is in prime form here. I eagerly await a translation of the French, but in the meantime, I consider this the shocker of the album and one of my favorites.

Exogenesis – I think it’s only proper to review this as one piece. After all, they would feel empty alone, but they flow together beautifully. Folks are already treating this epic as the best thing ever, and while I wouldn’t go that far, I can at least say that it’s damn good. Part II features my favorite moments of the symphony, but the other parts serve their wonderful purpose. Past album closers have been hard to top, but I think this offers such a fantastic direction that it ends the album really ambitiously, and this will likewise be hard to top.

Time will tell where I rank this in the oirder of Muse albums (though I envision that I'll at least place it above Showbiz and BH&R). To sum it all up, my album favorites are Resistance, Unnatural Selection, and I Belong to You, while I'm not as big on United States of Eurasia and maybe Guiding Light and MK Ultra. There's no terrible song on the album, though. Can't wait to blare this in my car. :D

[winigwl]

can't wait to get this!!!!

[Josh42]

I think I'm the only person who doesn't love it...

Undisclosed Desires might be my favorite Muse track, but the rest of the album for the most part gets a big :thumbsdown:

[deaths_friend]

awww the band got soooooo very close to releasing this on their own accord. downloading now. i'll make up my mind in a few days time on whether i like it or not.

[w1ll1am7]

MK Ultra is good, Exogenesis is great but I Belong To You is hit and miss...

[Briggins]

anybody want to PM me a link?
This album will have to be exceptional to make me want to buy it. I haven't really listened to Muse in over a year now.

[tauiwi]

For those in Melbourne, the album is out FRIDAY NOT MONDAY. Don't kid yourselves.

I went to JB Hi Fi Bourke st store today, and the staff told me it was in store on Friday.

Plus, they had put up the official promotional posters and stuff around the store, saying "Muse: The Resistance OUT NOW".

Idiots.

So guess who's going to be there at 9am....

[swallowedinamessage]

I haven't been here in sooo long, but I shall return to say ......

MUUUUUUUUUUUUSE.

[Graceful]

I'm guessing I won't get my copy until mid next week sometime by the time it's delivered, but it'll hopefully be well worth the wait. Til then I'll satisfy myself with the album streaming on Triple J.

[Graceful]

... which won't be available til 10am. Which means I have to wait til AFTER work to listen :bomb:

[deaths_friend]

i don't think any album has received this much attention and anticipation since radiohead's in rainbows came out in 2007. at least from an alternative rock point of view.

[jenflor]

I'm waiting for the official release, but I'm curious... what's the verdict??? Seems like lots of people love individual tracks, but how's the album as a whole?

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

I've only listened to the terrible quality version once

my consensus is that...it's a pretty brave album in general but it sounds like it could pay off and I look forward to hearing a decent rip.

[w1ll1am7]

the whole album is good.
if you think of it as one song, then it's smashing
i think it is good and it flows well

[jenflor]

^Thanks, guys! I'm looking forward to it! I'm going to have to get to know it really well, since I'll be seeing them support U2 next month!

[Ab]

Can't stop listening to that album!
There're some tracks that hasn't clicked yet, but overall the album is fucking genius!

Highlights for me:
- MK Ultra (very very Muse-y...love it!)
- I Belong To You (yes, the middle part is a bit wierd & boring at first, but then it grew on me on the 2nd listen, the end is so so good though!)
- Exogenesis, & I think this is the highlight for everyone, Matt is a fucking genius!

Go buy it!

[Mig-El]

OMG That sounds great but I have to resist!!!

[deaths_friend]

i kinda hoped for more songs like Unnatural Selection. but otherwise its ok so far.

[w1ll1am7]

can't wait to buy it

[shesawsparks]

From what people are saying it sounds like a great album but i'm waiting til i receive my own copy. I preordered it off of Amazon so should get it Monday anyway (hopefully).

[tauiwi]

Tomorrow morning for me!

[Imke]

Waaah, one day left. I'm going to scream when that album is finally in my hands. :awesome:

[jimmyneutron]

I'm waiting for the official release, but I'm curious... what's the verdict??? Seems like lots of people love individual tracks, but how's the album as a whole?

Their most consistent album so far. As far as style goes, It is a new direction again for Muse, Probably a cross between Absolution and Origin of Symmetry with it's classical influences and depth.

It needs to be listened to in full to be appreciated. The tracks on their own don't stand out as exceptional, and need to be listened to in the context of the album but as a whole, it is an amazing album. Theme: The idea that love gives us hope and pulls us through times of hardship.

Matt's vocals are the best they've ever been.

Exogenesis is like nothing a rock band has ever done. Amazing, moving.

I highly recommend it as one of the albums of the year so far.

[Graceful]

New merch in the shop (http://muse.mu/shop/), featuring 'The Resistance', the Teignmouth gigs and Project Eurasia.

Listening to the full album stream on Triple J (http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/geo/muse_resistance/), absolutely amazing stuff! :D Totally agree with the above comment! :awesome:

[deaths_friend]

i'm going to judge this album. like with all their previous albums, on how it words live. i'm very very curious to see what they do.

when's the first proper full concert?

[Graceful]

Their European tour starts on the 22nd October in Finland

[iPsy]

Alright. I love Muse, I really do but If I'm honest, after 3 listens, I am a bit dissapointed with the album overall.
My favourite song is the amazing Undisclosed Desires, quckly followed by United States of Eurasia. (I've always liked Uprising)
I like I Belong to you, Guiding Light is alright, so is Unnatural Selection and Exogenesis is no way near as big and epic as it was made out to be.
MK Ultra is a dissapointment.
Overall, it's good but not as good as I thought, maybe I will need a few more listens but I have the feeling that Matt Bellamy's gone a bit 'up himself' with himself! Don't get me wrong, i really like Matt, he's one of my fave musicians but I think the albums not as good as he thinks!

[violetsparks]

Yeah, "Guiding Light" is OK. I thought it was going to be a dud, though, when I heard the 30-second sample, so I was happy that it wasn't.

I think I KINDA get what you mean by "Exogenesis." I was expecting something a bit stronger, but I still think it's lovely.

I actually rather like "MK Ultra," but I will concede that it's one of the weaker tracks of the album.

[harrisonrules]

Best songs are: Exogenesis MK Ultra and Resistance

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

yay good quality.

[Lore]

where did you find it, Nathan?

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

Oh sorry, it's been out for a good few hours now, want me to link?

Or...now.

[tauiwi]

12 mins and its in melb cd stores

[deaths_friend]

http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/geo/muse_resistance/

about 300 responses to the new album. i dont think there's a single negative one in there.

[Bernard]

Or...now.

Yeah, well, I'm resisting the leak. :rolleyes:

[Julie]

The last three tracks are soooo good :bigcry:

[tauiwi]

Yeah, well, I'm resisting the leak. :rolleyes:

Same, and it feels good. I get to listen to it today!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[yeahhright]

I absolutley love Uprising and Resistance after two straight album listens. I feel like most of the songs on their need to be listened with the full album in order to really appreciate them, like Unnatural Selection. The weakest song in my opinion is Guiding Light followed by I Belong to you.

[Lore]

Oh sorry, it's been out for a good few hours now, want me to link?



thanks :)

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

Matt "Timbaland" Bellamy on Undisclosed Desires, man

[tauiwi]

In all of it's digipak glory, I got the first one in the store today!

http://i32.tinypic.com/x52pnp.jpg

[deaths_friend]

enjoy taking off the million stickets JB love to put on everything. especially the white one they have. freaking annoying! i like to have a totally clean cover even the language warning sticker must go. thats why i prefer digipaks, easier to take off the stickers.

there's a massive poster outside my local JB saying "The Resistance Out September 14" you walk in and there's a million copies of it on the shelves.

[tauiwi]

lol yeah I have seen those posters/billboards everywhere, but I always knew they'd be in store on the 11th.

And amen, stickers suck.

[Linlaarie]

I have to say that, even though I was expecting something different, I am happy with the final result. My favourite tracks are Undisclosed Desires and Uprising but as above said, we'll have to wait for the big live shows to feel The Resistance at its best ( November 28th for me :D )

[Glossal Fragster]

I'm very surprised with myself, but I have somehow, still not listened to the album, and I'm still planning to wait until Monday (U.K. Release date). How does it rate against the other albums?

[violetsparks]

Matt "Timbaland" Bellamy on Undisclosed Desires, man

Word. I freakin' LOVE that track. :heart:

[tauiwi]

I'm very surprised with myself, but I have somehow, still not listened to the album, and I'm still planning to wait until Monday (U.K. Release date). How does it rate against the other albums?

Middle of the range.

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

I think it's the worst thing they've ever done, by far. But I enjoy listening to it more than BHAR

Nothing will ever be a more embarrassing political statement than "When the zetas fill the sky, will our leaders tell us why" lollllllllllz

[Imke]

I just listened to it for the first time and I have to say that I'm not quite convinced yet. All of the tracks are good as a whole, but I miss some really outstanding tracks so far. I probably just need some more time to "get to know" the album.

I'm really excited for the making of that's included though.

[watsername182]

Oh I didn't get the chance to go buy the album today.
JB Hi Fi closed by the time I got to the shops.
Will definitely buy it tomorrow. Or today since it's past midnight. :P
Hopefully I can find the CD/DVD edition.
My main problem right now is trying not to listen to the stream at muse.mu :lol:

[iPsy]

Listening to it more, it's growing alot more for me! And I don't think there are any bad songs, but very little amazing songs!

I love Undisclosed Desires, Resistance and Eurasia! The three best!

Exogenesis is growing on me but I still stick by my statement that it's not as epic as it was made out to me.

I'm starting to like MK Ultra a bit more and Unnatural Selection.

[jimmyneutron]

I'm very surprised with myself, but I have somehow, still not listened to the album, and I'm still planning to wait until Monday (U.K. Release date). How does it rate against the other albums?

At first i thought 4th, ahead of showbiz only. But after listening a few times. I would say number 2, only slightly behind absolution. Needs to be listened to in full to appreciate it.

[Legal Princess]

It's different than the previous Cds. Most songs are great. After listening the CD several times, we'll appreciate it more.

[Bernard]

Still haven't had the chance to buy this.

Very VERY tempted to get this (http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;1;-1;-1;-1&sku=206201) instead.

[w1ll1am7]

the album is amazing, yes, it's different, but it's amazing

from Uprising to Eurasia, it's flawless IMO
Guiding Light seemed like a bit of a dud for me, but Unnatural Selection and MK Ultra are spectacular.
I Belong To You is very strange, but it is a grower, but definitely has potential, and well Exogenesis is Exogenesis Matt was just amazing in doing it

[tauiwi]

the album is amazing, yes, it's different, but it's amazing

from Uprising to Eurasia, it's flawless IMO

Agreed.


Guiding Light seemed like a bit of a dud for me

Agreed.

but Unnatural Selection and MK Ultra are spectacular.

MK is ok, unnatural seems to go on too long, gets a tad boring.

I Belong To You is very strange, but it is a grower, but definitely has potential

Love it!

Exogenesis is Exogenesis Matt was just amazing in doing it

Disagree.

[Bernard]

What does everyone think of the symphony? Is it any good?

[deaths_friend]

personally i dont think its anything special. its just a..........symphony. to me it doesnt sound like he has achieved anything unique or ground breaking with it. nonetheless i think it will make for an amazing end to their shows. but i think its a pretty good record the only real problem i have with it is that it lacks the raw energy of their earlier work instead its become a little predictable. but thats fine with me, theyre still one of my fave bands and cant wait to see them live one day.

[winigwl]

beautiful album and the symphony is truly phenominal

[w1ll1am7]

it did have a lot of hype around it, and i wish it was longer with much more guitar in Cross Pollination. but there wasn't.

It was good, Matt did a good job, may not have achieved anything but ended the album well.

Unnatural Selection drags on during the middle, which is the only part I don't like too much.
apart from that it's a good song

[ceolsige]

I tried to listen to it last night, but fell asleep during the 2nd or 3rd song...

[The Escapist]

i just bought the album. will listen to it now.

[watsername182]

Finally got my hands on The Resistance!
Quite a good album in my opinion.
Definitely different to the kind of music I usually listen to.
The symphony to me is, well I think it's quite a beautiful piece but not something that's really powerful.
I think this album needs to be listened to as a whole to really appreciate it.

[Ab]

Anyone knows at which time will they perform tomorrow at the VMAs?

[heresjohnny]

wondering the same thing is it on the "preshow" or in the actual award show

[darkchoc92]

cant wait til tomorrow when i buy it :)

[Imke]

The first four tracks remain my favourites.
I've been listening to Uprising and United States of Eurasia for some time already and I really love them. Resistance and Undisclosed Desires are rather catchy tunes.
But Guiding Light is IMO a break in the "flow" of the album. I felt like I was beamed back to the '80s. Unnatural Selection is actually good, but at some point I just wanted it to stop ... it is way too long for my taste.
I'm starting to like MK Ultra, although I don't like it as much as the first four tracks.
I belong to you was rather unexpected, but in a nice way. It is IMO too long again though.
The symphony is not quite as epic as I expected, although I really love Part 3.

The Making of is quite interesting, I expected a bit more though. The making of Uprising is very detailed, but some other tracks are hardly mentioned.

[tauiwi]

I love how uprising is about the financial crisis

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

Unnatural selection is the new Stockholm Syndrome.

[Legal Princess]

I like MK Ultra, Uprising, United States of Eurasia, The Symphonie, Unnatural Selection, Exogenesis. They're great. They come to Paris in November. I'll attend their concert.:bow:

[Bernard]

MK Ultra is one of the songs of the year. That riff is just... *melts*

Very, very good album. Their best since Origin of Symmetry, no question.

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

are you kidding me?

[busybeeburns]

Anyone else seen the BBC Radio 1 coverage of the Teignmouth concert? Very good. Currently on Red Button on digital, so glad I have a decent hotel room with lots of satellite channels!

[deaths_friend]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

are you kidding me?

you have a go at howyousawtheworld for calling you opinions ignorant. now you're have putting down someone for loving an album that you dont think much of. you sir are a first class hypocrite.

[tauiwi]

Listening to the album more, and warming to MK Ultra. Still think 'Unnatural selection' goes 2 mins too long.

[Lore]

can't wait for the VMAs performance. I can't believe I'm watching MTV xD

[Christa1]

i am here, did they play yet?

[Lore]

no, probably they'll play around the end of the show because they're doing a concert

[Christa1]

yes, the concert i could not get tix to damn contests

[Lore]

:(

[Julie]

I want muse now!

[Christa1]

its the birfday girl!!

[Christa1]

who is this ass hosting the show?

[Julie]

Stupid Loudmouth Russel Brand

The Kanye diss at Taylor Swift earlier made me laugh so much.

[Christa1]

oooh its almost time now

[Christa1]

omg i have goosebumps

[Christa1]

teddies!!!!, its a tiny theatre

[anna111]

no way
WHY are we not seeing the rest of the performance except for like 3 seconds of starlight!??!

IS THIS BEING FILMED!? WHERE IS THE JUSTICE FOR MUSE FANS

[Josh42]

:heart: Anna

[Lore]

[anna111]

Hiiiii :)

I really haven't been on here at all lately have I. I can tell because I haven't changed my location from the place where I was a month and a half ago... :\

[Lore]

[anna111]

Well i dont know how much time i'm going to have in the coming weeks...school is insane this year.

Lore your sig pic is PRICELESS, I am waaay too in love with Dom.

[Lore]

[Space Cadet]

Wait, Muse actually got to play the VMAs? Sweet. :cool: Ten years... about flipping time.

[Lore]

YouTube - Muse Uprising - 2009 MTV VMA's Performance

[Ab]

Argh, they didn't air it here!
Thanks for posting that vid, Lore. :kiss:

[deaths_friend]

not surprised that they got muse to perform at some other venue. talent isnt allowed into the mtv awards.

[w1ll1am7]

no it isn't
much like how music has nothing to do with MTV.

great performance, Matt picked it up in the end, electric

[watsername182]

Haha, watching the DVD that comes with The Resistance.
Is the song Matt is whistling at the beginning the tune for Antiques Roadshow? :laugh3:

[Legal Princess]

I've listened to their new album. I like the songs but not all. There's one I don't like though. It's quite different than what they used to do so far.

[The Escapist]

I listened to their new album 3 times so far. My favourite tracks are Undisclosed desires, Unnatural selection and MK Ultra. They also did a great job with the symphony and the first 2 tracks.

[tauiwi]

Yeah, the only songs I dont like are Unnatural Selection, Guiding light and the part 1 exogenesis.

[Graceful]

So dissappointed my box set didn't arrive today... :(

[tauiwi]

Oh Grace, the suspense! Hopefully tomorrow! :)

[Space Cadet]

Hmm... finally just listened to the album stream. I'm not sure what to think. With the first section I'm not blown away... but I don't dislike it. I think it will grow on me.

Now the Symphony. Wow. That was something. Pretentious beyond all belief, but who wouldn't expect that from them. And they pull it off so well.

I'm so jealous of Matt's piano playing. He supposedly can't even read music. I studied for nearly 6 years and can't play anything. *sigh*

I have a feeling they spelled "Bellamy" with one "l" on purpose.

[The Escapist]

How many times has everyone listened to the album?

[Imke]

The whole album about 6 times, me thinks. But I listened to Resistance and Undisclosed desires most of the time.

[iPsy]

I'm absolutely in love with the whole album now! I really am, the only song I don't really like is Unnatural Selection!

Fave's are Undisclosed Desires, Resistance and Eurasia!

I've listened to it about 6!

[Corkus]

So after a week, I've decided that Guiding Light is my least favorite song on the album. I'm okay with a bit of cheesiness (I'm a fan of Starlight, for crying out loud), but Guiding Light is basically a new version of Invincible that aims to be far more epic and theatrical than it actually is.

Resistance and Unnatural Selection compete for my album favorite, but Resistance may pull through due to the fact that Unnatural Selection drags in the latter half, while the serene, drawn-out build and fade in Resistance doesn't inhibit the song.

I love that video, Matt's so much more confident there than he was at the Teignmouth gig!


Box set finally arrived today :dance:

[Starlight Chaser]

I still haven't heard the album, as my box set hasn't arrived and I want to wait for it. But, I am finding it immensly difficult to resist listening to it so I don't know how much longer I can manage. Bah!

[LiquidSky]

so I went to get my album and was so happy to play it and guess what???????!!! IT'S F******ING SCRATCHED! argh! How annoying!

But my least favorite was Guiding Light. I do not like the singing at all.. the chorus is not that good but I love the instrumental version. I really love the beats. I pretty much liked the whole album except Guiding Light & Unnatural Selection.. those two will have to grow on me.

[Christa1]

^Ouch!!! that sucks big time. US of Erurasia reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody, not sure which songs i like best yet

[LiquidSky]

yes, Christa! It sucks! I wanted to burn in on my computer so I would be able to pass it to my ipod and it won't burn either.. & I couldn't wait to play and it wouldn't play.. so I put it on my stereo and all happy and dandy & then I could tell it was scratched! Mk ultra & I Belong To You are scratched..so I'm gonna have it exchanged for a new one.. :uneasy:

But how are you?! :D

[Christa1]

i am just fine and dandy, actually bought the muse live dvd today. saving it for tonight!!! so you have to go back to the store or did you order it online? its so funny i didnt want to listen to it until i got it the other day, and everyone had heard it but i wanted to wait and hear it in the car, its like my own little studio

[LiquidSky]

hahaha there's just something about listening to music while driving.. No, I did not get it online.

[Carla]

How many times has everyone listened to the album?

Way too much.

wonderful live, what else can i say, nothing! :)

Fuck off you sad little bitch.


---

This Muse album is actually pretty good, it's shit and I should hate it so much, but I don't...I like it.

[w1ll1am7]

it isn't shit.

it's good in all aspects, i've listened around 10 times and I enjoy every song for what it is!
now i'm moving on to all the b-sides! :)
WOO


PS
the video is amazing, love the Teddy bears

[Ab]

^ I don't like Unnatural Selection nor Guiding Light.
But overall, the album is awesome.
Their b-sides are absolutely brilliant btw, my favourite is Spiral Static.
Fuck off you sad little bitch.
*yawns*

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

Everything about the album I should hate, it's cheesy, self-indulgent, over the top, it's really crap when you sit and analyse it. If I take it seriously as a piece of art it's fucking rubbish. But like I said, I have embraced the shitness and I actually enjoy listening to it.

[w1ll1am7]

okay, well if you're enjoying it, stop bashing it.
clearly everyone likes it, and if you want to start a 'I Dislike The Resistance thread' be our guest.

@AB
Guiding light, it is hard to appriciate, but i'm somehow liking it more, which i thought i was unable to do.

Unnatural Selection does go on for a long time, but it's still a kick ass song and will be amazing live, they'll put a twist on it

[w1ll1am7]

I can bash it all I want.

This is a thread to discuss Muse, not a "lets blindly follow this band and only post positive things" thread.

Guiding light is shit, really shit, it's like one of the bad songs on Black Holes but even worse. It's just Matt whining for an entire song.

[w1ll1am7]

okay, well, your bashing is only satisfying yourself...

and guiding light is not pure whining. listen to shitty bands like tokyo hotel for whining.
Mat sings.
Guiding Light is the Resistance's cross between Starlight and Invincible.

and who said blindly?
i've criticized. I'm still not a big fan of Guiding Light, or I Belong To You, growers at the very least

[Ab]

Well, I wasn't into Falling Away With You for so long until just about 2 months ago, so maybe those 2 songs will click eventually.

Your OMG I LOVE THIS ALBUM, is no more satisfying to anyone else than my bashing is.

Guiding Light is whining, asking me to listen to another band does not make it any less whiney. I hate both of those songs you mentioned, so it's no surprise that I dislike Guiding Light then is it?

I said blindly. If I'm not allowed to criticise in the thread, then it is blindly liking something. Something being shit does not mean it is a "grower"

[w1ll1am7]

I haven't been OMG I LOVE THIS ALBUM.

and everyone has musical tastes. you can call it shit, but others may like it.
songs can grow on you, as can artists.

I'm saying I see some songs as a grower and you don't.
we contrast, big deal.
state your reasons and I'll state mine.
I honestly don't care if you disagree with me, because I'll enjoy it regardless.

Have yourself the satisfaction in tearing someone's musical taste, but it only matters to you.

anyways, i'm done arguing.



Uprising's video was funny, i thoroughly enjoyed it.

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

You're completely contradicting yourself

You're saying we have different opinions and we should leave it at that. All I have done is post my opinion and you've attacked me for it...

[w1ll1am7]

attacked you?
I'm defending my opinion.
I wasn't attacking you, and now you're getting all defensive

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

I wasn't attacking your opinion though, I was merely stating mine.

[jenflor]

sorry to interrupt guys, but as this is the MUSE thread... ;)

Loved the video... does anyone know what the significance of the teddy bears is? Maybe just something that's supposed to be cute and cuddly turning out to be oppressive and EEEE-VIL? :thinking:

I've only heard The Resistance once all the way through, and it was late at night while I was doing something else, so I realllly need to listen again (and again and again) to get a good feel for it. Did really like Uprising, Resistance, and Undisclosed Desires right off, though.

[w1ll1am7]

No idea about the Teddy bears, but i do like it. it's comical but seems so evil!

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

video is so so so so so so so so so shit.

[w1ll1am7]

lol
i don't get why they had to do it all with animation...
liked the Teddy's though

[Tnspieler1012]

I can't help but dig the title track. As for the uprising video, its half-decent.

[Space Cadet]

But like I said, I have embraced the shitness and I actually enjoy listening to it.Sounds like your critical model doesn't work with the style of music.

i really really want to disagree with you. but to a certain degree you're right. just the way you've stated it makes it sound really bad. muse is cheesy, self indulgent and over the top and if you told the band that they would pretty much agree with you. its not the type of music you sit down and analyse. but i dont see how its cheesy-ness and self indulgence makes it shit?

muse have always reminded me of the chili peppers who are just as cheesy and self indulgent and cannot be taken seriously. but like muse they are briliant musicians so its hard not to appreciate them and enjoy their music.

[jenflor]

^well put. Isn't a lot of their charm the very fact that they're so over-the-top?

[violetsparks]

Over the top? Really? Am I the only person that DOESN'T view the album that way?

[Tnspieler1012]

pretty much.

[violetsparks]

But why? It's not that bombastic. If I wanted something like that, I'd go listen to some Stravinsky.

At any rate, even if it were "over-the-top," I don't think it is in a bad way.

[jenflor]

^I agree. I do think it's over the top, but I really like it... it grows on me more and more with every listen.

[heresjohnny]

some parts are over the top but overall i love the album, especially resistance intro lol.

[Graceful]

I love the Resistance intro too! It's beautifully haunting..

And the teddy-bear thing started when the cover art for the Urprising single (http://muse.mu/shop/product/167/uprising/menu/4/singles/) was released, and it kinda went from there...
Though that still doesn't explain WHY :p

And I don't find Muse cheesy at all. Over the top, definitely, but not really cheesy at all. Just my opinion :)

[deaths_friend]

dudes!! the album ends with a 3 part 15min symphony!! if that isnt over the top then somebody please show me what is. its called stadium rock for a reason. of course there are some 'normal' moments but overall the album is pretty big. muse are cheesy in a cool fun way not in a rick astley way.

[violetsparks]

Yeah, it's a symphony. Big deal. I don't see how finding a symphony on a "rock" album makes said album "over-the-top." It's different, yes, but not to the extent of "OMG, WTF is that doing on there?" [Not that you were saying that, just making a point.]

HAHA, Rick Astley. I just got a vision of Matt Bellamy swaying and singing "Never Gonna Give You Up" when I read that. :laugh4:

[deaths_friend]

yeah i agree with you in a way. but i still think its quite OTT (means over the top incase you didnt know) in place and trust me, if there werent any OTT moments on the album i would be complaining because nobody does OTT rock like muse.

so just to make it clear. im not saying the album as a whole is OTT just there are certain moments in the album which are. just like every previous muse album. but the 15mins symphony has sort of taken it to a new level.

[violetsparks]

its my favourite track on the album.

[violetsparks]

Does anyone here actually like unnatural selection? I fucking love it and everyone here is just bashing the shit out of it.

I do, yes. Granted, there's that slow section in there, and I don't quite get how that fits in with the rest of the song. However, I love the song in general. The bit about the ocean is my favorite part of the song. :)

Though that still doesn't explain WHY :p
“We’d like to do something with the teddies, definitely,” Bellamy giggles. “The idea is to have this large group of them staging an uprising, causing chaos; on a protest march outside parliament, that sort of thing. I’ve always found that side of human psychology fasci­nating; the way that we project our emotions onto things such as pets, toys, objects. So a large group of toy bears forming a sinister teddy uprising might be interesting.”
Yeah, that totally makes sense, Matt! :lol:

That was recorded before the Jools Holland performance I think.

Loving that Uprising vid lol. theyve done that a few times in the past - notably on live and kicking!

I never knew Matt Bellamy wrote the piano part in politik? and that Muse and Coldplay were such great mates!

I think the Oracle already said it was not true that Matt wrote Politik.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!:lol:

Look at their faces! Happy much? :P

Well, according to CelebHeights.com (http://www.celebheights.com/):

Thom is 5'5.5".
Bono is 5'6.5".
Matt is 5'7".

So Matt wins. :)

Although I'm actually taller than all of them; I'm 5'8". :laugh4:

I've actually noticed that a lot of male musicians in general are on the shorter side of the spectrum. I'm a music education major at my college, and I've made the great observation that a lot of the guys are kinda short. I'm starting to think there may be some sort of correlation here...

[Legal Princess]

Yes I love my new ringtone. I like to change it from time to time.
