Thoughts?

[Rass]

Having not listened to it all the way through properly and only heard bits from flatmates playing it my thoughts (well more obsevations) are:

1) Queen should be looking for royalty money for any sales of 'Eurasia'
2) There's a song that sounds like New Born (the riff) backwards which is quite cool and has a big metal-as-fuck (for muse anyway) outro.
3) The first single that sounds like Billy Idol isn't very good.
4) Theres one that sounds like Kylie that sounded like they were going for the 'Supermassive Black Hole' vibe again, it made me laugh. Not in a good way.
5) What I've heard doesn't really make me want to investigate any further.
6) Bellamy may of finally been completely ingested up his own rectum.

I have only heard the first single off it, which is shite.

i like it, exogenesis is awesome. MK Ultra is a cool as fuck tune too, and has an MXR Blue Box in it, which is always good

Wondered how long it would take till you appeared in this thread

The albums good shame there's no osaka riff.

I think it was pretty poppy, not really the Muse I like to hear, and there is a song, not sure the title, which sounded so much like Queen, it was freaky

No doubt I'll relisten til I get into it tho

"Eurasia" sounds like "We are the Champions"

I liked it musically but can't get into the vocals at all, I havent heard much Muse but my girlfriends a fan so she's had the new one on a few times and I think had the vocals been a bit different I would have really liked it.

I've liked them (indeed, loved them) since the original Muscle Museum E.P. but this new album is where the loving stops. Terrible album. Listened to it heaps and just can't get into it.

Maybe I love the bombastic riffage too much but this just sounds like plagarism and attempts to confuse the audience. Rush, Billy Idol and especially Queen should indeed be getting royalties for this. It sounds like a wind up in places - almost as if they're in the studio going "people will actually take this seriously!" Writing about conspiracy theories which are clearly untrue is getting really boring too.

Still an amazingly good live band, but I'm just nae sold on this nonsense. Back to the drawing board, Mr Bellamy...

I'm in a similar boat. I've been a big fan since way back. This album has left me feeling a bit cold and is by far the weakest thing they've produced (imho).
