That's a strange song from Muse...I'm undecided.

 

 

that's how i felt.. undecided.

was very weird when i heard matt started singing..

 

now after listening 100 times... (or so).. i start liking it. not really the voice, but the music.

I was like :rolleyes: here we go, new Muse single, first single off the new album, lots of pitchshifted guitar, fuzzy riffs, end of the world lyrics and a big chorus, and its called "Supermassive Black Hole", what a surprise.

 

But it was really nothing like that at all, I think they realised they cant keep pulling out the same bag of tricks for every new single. I like it though.

Muse drummer Dominic Howard revealed to MTV:

"The diversity of the album and some of the directions we've discovered and gone for might shock (our fans) in some way," he said. "Hopefully, it will be a nice shock - ultimately all of them sound like Muse. We reached a point where we were looking at all these songs and how different they sounded, and we were wondering how this was ever going to sound like a band, like one album. But somehow it really does."

 

According to a recent interview given by Muse to Toazted.com and Mtv.com, here is a description of some of the songs and their position in the tracklist:

 

1. Take A Bow

This opening song calls on world leaders to take responsibility for their actions. Starting off as a classical piece before moving into a techno mid-section and an "apocalyptic rock" ending. A 'climax' according to Matt.

 

2. Starlight

A simple love song - potential single.

 

? Supermassive Black Hole

Funky disco song inspired by Belgian bands like Millionnaire.

 

? Soldier's Poem

Sounds like a Christmas song - Sweet nice short song with vintage jazz instruments (double bass). Composed during the Absolution sessions and completely reworked for a less heavier sound.

 

? Invincible

Very slow and optimistic song with a tapping guitar solo in the middle (not that hard to play as it seems to be - according to Matt himself)

 

? City of Delusion

Eastern folky song with strings. Matt's favourite arrangement on the album.

 

? Knights of Cydonia

Inspired by Italian composer Ennio Morricone's soundtracks ('The Good, The Bad & The Ugly' and 'The Untouchables'... ).

 

11. Untitled

The band describes a Mexican style introduction for this song, which is closing the album.

I finally got to listen to the song.....its decent but I agree that it lacks the balls of most of their songs..I still thought it was decent.

Funny... I listened to the song before reading the rest of the thread. First thing that came to mind while listening was 'sounds like Millionaire, on a poppy day' :D I can't say I was really blown away, but at least it seems they're trying to do something different from what they've done in the past.

Hm... I don't love it. I fell in love with Muse through Absolution and this is very different. I was kind of hoping for some more trippy kind of stuff. This is kind of too techno... I'll probably still buy the CD anyway! Hah...
