Spoombung Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Fabulous review of the new Muse album http://thequietus.com/articles/18182-muse-drones-review Quote
KevB Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Well there will always be some fanboy putting pen to paper... Quote
CamdenRob Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Probably would have read a bit better without all the swearing... but no doubt an accurate review. i haven't listened to the album obviously but I expect this is a fairly apt description? Quote
discreet Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) I think he liked the album more than I did. Edited June 23, 2015 by discreet Quote
Mr H Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Many years ago I invited Mr Agreeable to send a message to my friend and his new bride for their wedding. Sadly my request got lost on his desk, but I did get an apologetic letter from his personal secretary David Stubbs a few months later. Quote
lemmywinks Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 The bit about Freddie Mercury and Bono Muse write the odd really good song, they could do a solid greatest hits album. So much pretentious drivel though, they're the band the skip track button was invented for. Quote

spectoremg Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Does he do retro-reviews? (U2's album please). Quote
Graham Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Still, at least it's better than The Second Law Quote
HowieBass Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I think he was a bit hard on the Eurythmics but apart from that, pretty much spot on... Quote
LayDownThaFunk Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1435080663' post='2805284'] Still, at least it's better than The Second Law [/quote] Yeah, much better. I actually thought this was a slight return to form for Muse. Definitely their best since Black Holes... Quote

skankdelvar Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 As entertaining as the review are the peevish 'Who do you think you are?' replies from offended Muse customers. And is it really 25 years? Ou sont les neiges d'antan? Quote
Old Man Riva Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Would work better if he left out the exclamation marks! (and suggested that it be read in the voice of Mark E Smith).. Quote

Graham Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1435085198' post='2805359'] You mean The Resistance? [/quote] I do [\embarrassed] Quote
skankdelvar Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1435089546' post='2805419'] Where, indeed? [/quote] It wasn't a rhetorical question. Where are the neiges d'antan? And don't pretend you don't know. I distinctly recall that you had them last. When you were shooting the video for the Christmas single. Just send them back and we'll say no more about it. Quote

[/quote] Too right! Bring back the birch as well. And hanging (but only for very serious crimes, like bad song-writing). It's the only language these bloody ivory-tower rock stars understand! Quote
jacko Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 "Put it another way; if, back in the day, Freddie Mercury had shagged Bono, Muse are what would have subsequently dribbled from the Irishman's f***ing anus!" Brilliant Quote
