The lyrics on Compliance are beyond trash too, so far totally understanding The Room comparisons... It seems unfathomable that the creator didn't intend for this to be comedic but apparently they didn't

Oh, they very well did intend it to be a parody of conspiracy shit, let me find the article really quick

Doesn't mean it has to work for everyone of course, but intent matters at least a little bit imo

'According to Matt, the song is "like a populist parody, almost the antithesis to Uprising", adding "Whereas ‘Uprising’ was almost populist but taking it seriously, ‘Will Of The People’ is almost, ‘Do we know that we’re stupid now? Do we know how silly this sounds and looks?’ Inside of me, there’s always been this little bit of a conflict between the desire for direct democracy and a bit more actual power to the people, but then at the same time realising that sometimes the people can be mad… Because they’ve had no voice for so long, populism ends up becoming distorted and strange and spiting everything. People end up spiting things just because they don’t have any fucking say.".[3]'

Kill Or Be Killed is actually quite a jam...



And that's interesting, @kalkwiese, might be something tongue in cheek going on at least with that song. Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome. The whole album is pretty tongue in cheek imo, but that doesn't mean it's obvious from the outside tbh.

Yeah, I can't imagine someone could name a song "We Are Fucking Fucked" with entirely serious intent...



Really regardless of intent I find most of this pretty terrible but I was certainly entertained on first listen, doubting that will hold up to further jamming but who knows.

I’d find it easier to believe this is tongue in cheek if it wasn’t so in line with the rest of the shit they’ve been peddling for the last decade

self-parody / light at the end of the self-awareness tunnel?

They should have realised that over 10 years ago

All the instruments here sound so soulless and…fake? Glad they brought the piano back for a couple but the songs are just bad

I know it's hard to believe, but judging from interviews Muse have always been pretty self aware. They're just really silly people.
