October 15, 201212 yr Surprisingly good. The last Muse album I bought was 'Black Holes & Revelations' which, despite cracker singles, contained a lot of unconvincing filler. This one is a lot more consistent. Yes, it does sound an AWFUL LOT like Queen in places, but it's a great record. Panic Station is my favourite song from the record. Who would've thought that Muse would go all Faith No More on us? An awful lot like Queen indeed.... In "Explorers" Matt sounds like he's about to break into "Don't Stop Me Now" at 0:17 !
October 15, 201212 yr I hadn't even realised Survival was on the album ha! It was terrible as a standalone track in the summer but it's like an entirely new track on the album, think it fits in really well.
October 16, 201212 yr An awful lot like Queen indeed.... In "Explorers" Matt sounds like he's about to break into "Don't Stop Me Now" at 0:17 ! from 1:40 to 1:45 is No Surprises and again at 3:21.
October 17, 201212 yr Wished it felt like there was something more substantial to the album, but it doesn't!
October 23, 201212 yr I agree. Myself and my brother listened the whole way through and felt it was weak. We found oirsekves spotting the stolen hook. I must write a list of other songs that were pilfered to make this album.
October 24, 201212 yr Interestingly I haven't even bothered to listen to this album yet. And I thought I was looking forward to it. Perhaps not. Maybe when I get around to it I'll be pleasantly surprised
October 25, 201212 yr Not sure I'm a fan of Muse. Still need to see them live, I'm told that will change my views on them!
November 2, 201212 yr Better than Madness, worse than Survival, good overall. Does anyone else think it's time for a Greatest Hits (for late 2013)?
November 2, 201212 yr Yes, it'd be perfect timing. Could be: 01 Sunburn 02 Unintended 03 Plug In Baby 04 New Born 05 Bliss 06 Feeling Good 07 Stockholm Syndrome 08 Time Is Running Out 09 Hysteria 10 Butterflies and Hurricanes 11 Supermassive Black Hole 12 Starlight 13 Map of the Problematique 14 Knights of Cydonia 15 Uprising 16 Resistance 17 Undisclosed Desires 18 Survival 19 Madness 20 Follow Me Actually it's getting rather difficult to fit them all on one disc.
November 2, 201212 yr 01. Sunburn 02. Plug In Baby 03. New Born 04. Bliss 05. In Your World 06. Time Is Running Out 07. Butterflies and Hurricanes 08. Supermassive Black Hole 09. Starlight 10. Knights of Cydonia 11. Uprising 12. Undisclosed Desires 13. Neutron Star Collision 14. Survival 15. Madness 16. New Song 17. New Song 18. New Song Sorted :)
November 3, 201212 yr Obviously, but those two would be near the bottom of that list for me. They're one of the few bands where a non-chronological tracklisting would work just as well (mainly because how are you supposed to follow "Knights of Cydonia"?).
November 3, 201212 yr Muse don't exactly strike me as the type of act that'd release a Greatest Hits. That said, they do have quite the discography to warrant one. :wub:
November 3, 201212 yr Would've much preferred Panic Station as the next single, but Follow Me is good too, even if its fairly standard for them. A greatest hits would be amazing, Invincible & probably Maps of The Problematique comes to mind as the first ones to cut Edited November 3, 201212 yr by C.W
November 3, 201212 yr Map of the Problematique remains my favourite ever Muse track... it would be disappointing for them to cut it but, as it was only a live single anyway, it would seem the obvious choice I agree.
November 3, 201212 yr It surely depends what type of compilation they release. If they call it a hits package then the smaller hits get shunned. If it's a Best Of you'd like to think Map would make it. That, Newborn and Butterflies are my top 3 Muse songs. Not many bands have three that good.
