Some thoughts on Muse
August 4th, 2009 06:46 pmListened to Uprising on Zane Lowe's show last night (you can listen to it here (you need to go in about 29 minutes) Zane's also got a little video interview on his site too)
According to Matt Bellamy they've only recorded the 11 tracks that appear on The Resistance, so there's no B-sides :( This makes me sad as some of their B-sides are amongst my favourite tracks.
United States of Eurasia
[x] I like the start with the piano and the strings
[x] I LOLed at the Queenesque harmonies on "There can be only one". (It's got to be intentional and no one can convince me otherwise.)
[x] It's like a proper rock opera
[x] And I like the end with the Chopin too (I'm a bit of a slag for piano solos - what can I say?)
[x] I hope this is made into a karaoke track, because I want to blast out the Eura-SIA bit in my local.
In summary:
Cracktastic and I look forward to seeing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
circe_tigana and blythely's dance to this song. I dare you not to laugh before the end of the track.
Uprising
If this is not the proof that Matt Bellamy is a Doctor Who fan, (on top of the fact that Starlight is obviously about the Doctor) then I don't know what is.
[x] It's like the bastard lovechild of Who, Blondie and Marilyn Manson drunk on cheap cider
[x] wasn't all that impressed on first listen but now I've had a couple more listens it's starting to actually grow on me.
[x] I do like the synth-i-ness of it, it's a bit of a departure, but not necessarily a bad one.
In Conclusion:
This album's Supermassive Black Hole? (Which wasn't that in keeping with the rest of the album)
And they've released the cover for The Resistance today too
His Lordship and Muse are now officially on a break. He didn't like USoE and his detests Uprising (he thinks Matt's voice is awful and the mishmash of musical riffs don't go well). He says that someone commented on a forum he frequents as "It's the sound of Matt Bellamy using his tiny little jetpack to jump over a really big shark" - well it made me chuckle.
I admit that it's no Origin of Symmetry but I like the fact Muse try to do something a bit different with each of their albums, I probably wouldn't like them as much as I do if Absolution and Black Holes... were OoS v2.0 and v3.0. I'll with hold judgement on the album as a whole until I actually hear the album as a whole. September seems so far away. (I do still hope for some Hysteria-style big guitar riffs.)
