I think this is getting a bigger backlash from Doctor Who fans than Muse fans. Doctor Who is stupid, but that's an entirely different subject. The review does attempt too many pop culture parallels.

Best song is Citizen Erased. Which is also Muse's best song anyway. [123141]

I think Doctor Who is more of a nostalgia thing for me. Loved it ever since I was 4 or 5.

In a world where Ruled By Secrecy exists, Citizen Erased can't be Muse's best. But it is up there.

Bro, you seem very knowledgeable about your music theory, but the problem with this review is lots of people aren't. You say

all of these nonsensical terms as if you think people should know about them. Half of the time in this review I honestly have no

idea what the hell you're talking about. You truly talk about music in this review as if it's just a bunch of soundwaves that seem

to collide with each other and how the certain soundwaves don't much up, like his "Chest voice"(or whatever that is). Music is

not just a collection of soundwaves as I just described it, it's a beautiful art. Sorry if I'm coming off as harsh but if you're

passionate about reviewing, which it seems like you are, you have to get rid of the music theory jargon and put things in terms

people will understand but at the same time, make it interesting. Just little tips to think about.

"[Hyper Music's] bassline is literally the notes of the Dorian mode being played in ascending order."



Just heard the song again, and your description is a bit misleading and overly critical. It does

ascend initially in the Dorian mode order, but it's not just straight eighth notes. It does start on D

though haha. I agree with you on the overuse of fast arpeggios though, mostly because they are

probably played with the help of keyboard "octave shifters." I understood your critiques on theory,

but we're a dying breed. ;)

@Mongi chest voice just means using the breath and strength of your chest/diaphragm as you sing. It's

the opposite of falsetto.

Oh so it's just regular singing then? That could have been said instead of Chest voice haha. I honestly know nothing about

music theory. What's the Dorian mode?

This review makes me never want to take a music theory class. I would rue the day I cared more about a singer's vocal register than the emotion he's attempting to portray

Like I know what falsetto is but I never knew their was a technical term for just regular singing.

The easiest way to explain Dorian mode is grab a piano, start on a "D" white note (in between two black notes) and play all the white notes up to the next "D."

If you did, you know all the notes to the Dorian scale. What he was saying is that's basically what Muse did with no creativity. Try playing along with the middle section of Hyper Music.

Well I've never heard this. I've heard Plug In Baby which is a bitchin song. But that sounds pretty complex considering I don't play anything haha. I've only learned guitar for a bit :D

I actually think Chuck overhauled this review from when I read it first and, I gotta say, it is much much worse now.

If it's any consolation, I've been here before. Where you upload a review you feel so great about and the community taps you on the shoulder and goes "This review is ass, mate."
