scalpy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 So Muse have inherited the poisoned chalice that is the honour of representing the host country's musical talent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt__jKWoYH8 I'm not overly delighted by it but fair play to them for giving it both barrels. Knowing how much they divide basschatters into two camps it should be interesting to see how this pans out! Ladies and Gentleman, your thoughts please!

Jambo10 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Now, I'm a big Muse fan.....but they have had their fair share of dross over the last couple of albums. I'm hearing snippets of various past numbers of theirs in there. It'll probably be a grower though as I've only listened to it once. Can't even ignore the song as the wife will play it non stop no doubt as she is an even bigger fan! I'm just more miffed at the price of the concert ticket for the forthcoming tour!

Kev Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Well its not dubstep, so that's promising at least.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jamin Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Also a big Muse fan, Chris Wolstenholme got me into bass years ago. However: Yep, definitely made of cheese. But that's the point really I guess, got to love it! Edited June 27, 2012 by Ben Jamin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Haha quality, I only heard the first 30 seconds and I have to agree with Wallace although the Mrs is a Huge fan and said it got pretty epic towards the end as it kept building and building, I was too busy flipping the fish fingers to hear it......

charic Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Actually quite like that Fair play for getting a bit of "fighting spirit" into it, a bit of a tip of the hat towards queen in there and reminiscent of their older stuff. If the next album is like this I'll be buying their stuff again (@ blackholes it went to crap for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It's not as bad as it could be. It's still a bit mental like a 'proper' Muse tune. I think I quite like it, despite it's cheddary construction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Very Queen inspired, and the lyrics are incredibly cheesy for what it is. I also think the drums don't sound right, and that Dom mad a bad choice in terms of cymbals, because something about them or the way they've been messed with during the production stages just doesn't fit with the overall sound of the song IMO. I like the fact that the lyrics are pretty cheesy, but it's been masked somewhat by the sheer musical epicness that Matt Bellamy seems to be able to create.

throwoff Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 This is not the new album sound according to what I have read this morning. This is a one off track for the olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I really like it-I think the tongue may well be firmly in cheek regarding the lyrics, which TBH are not as lousy as some that Matt Bellamy has turned out in recent years, and it's the sort of stirring piffle that is expected for this type of do. Musically I love it-I wonder if they got paid for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It's a NO from me, TBH I would never have known it was Muse obviously I'm not a follower but not for me whoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyratm Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I don't like the start much. Love the ending. Theres a teaser of the new album on youtube search - Muse the 2nd law - I like the sounds (but i'm a fanboy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 What the hell have I just listened to? Sums up the olympics though, bloated, slightly menacing, confused, wothless and tragic, with no connection to anything except itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Weird. Last night I dreamt I was playing bass in Muse - why? I'm not a Muse fan and I've never listened to a single thing by them, apart from this Olympic abomination - which IMHO is a mahoosive shedful of festering giant hairy moose twunts. There's just no explaining the workings of the sleeping human brain, is there? Or even the waking one, come to that.
