A few years ago I would've been really excited for this. Now, eh.

Fuck you for stealing the comment that I was about to write before I saw this

Fuck both of you for fucking each other.

Fuck you for fucking all of us again

fuck you all for starting this fucking orgy

well this is definatley not cool. this band sucks

Fuck you all.

Classic m/ quote, robb flynn ftw

no
repeat after me
muse good
last album bad

^this, showbiz was kinda meh though

sunburn was the only decent song from that album. The resistance was awful though.

I like Uno and Sober

It could be worse, they could have Dappy doing a 'duet' with Thom Yorke.

muscle museum and escape were the only decent songs, but resistance blew

This clip is sex:

Preview of Survival.

Escape is indeed a great song.

I expect a lot of
WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB
Bellamy jerking of on his guitar.
Poppy chorus.

Repeat all of the above.

to be honest, i really don't know what to expect from this band anymore. After that (joke?) trailer they released not to long ago, i don't care too much anymore.

You forgot *pretentious, awkward classical moments*

And I hope SO BAD that trailer was a joke...


...or I would if I cared about them atm

This site is full of pretentious wankers.

Yes @AShoegazer

will probably suck but fingers crossed

It's a joke. Muse releases an average album and all the sudden they're ripped to shreds? This website is just full of douchebags. They were all ripping on the Pumpkins, Oceania is released, it gets a 3.8 on average.

This website just chews bands and music up and spits them out. It's worse than Pitchfork. Flavor of the month.

And Thrice.

I POSTED A 30 SECOND CLIP, hello

You should take everything that's written here with a grain of salt.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9k0iaK8bSE

I don't know what I should expect, If they didn't have realeased resistance and the joke trailer with the robot my expectations could be higher.

The Olympics are almost as pointless as Muse, makes perfect sense

"This website just chews bands and music up and spits them out. It's worse than Pitchfork. Flavor of the month."

Then why are you here?

But yeah, I'm unsure about this one.

fuck this

"The Olympics are almost as pointless as Muse, makes perfect sense"
Yeh

butthole>muse

Fingers crossed this band hasn't gone totally down the crapper. Not sure how much faith I have in this though.

Curious to hear it

lol

lol because you'll listen to it too

dont stop believin bro

Oh boy, Matt Bellamy haters are going to have a field day with this.

Personally I like it.

It's quite pompous

OH GOD WHY

this is seriously bad

I love this song. It's so freaking awesome. Little over the top and self-righteous but fantastic. They don't take themselves too seriously. It's so heavy.

The intro to the actual song itself (not the awesome prelude) is boooooooring, and the rest of the song is okay-ish to good.

I am disappoint.

for those who missed it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt__jKWoYH8

It's so heavy.

Wow wut.

Every aspect of this song is so overdone.

I listened. It was even worse than the 2nd law trailer. Fucking dreadful.

Nope.

"I listened. It was even worse than the 2nd law trailer."

Hey now!

I actually kinda enjoyed the strings in the 1st half of the trailer. This was just awful

It would be "inoffensively OK" if it wasn't so cheesy and ridiculously over-the-top.

Who the fuck is Muse?

bigger doesn't always equal better

"Who the fuck is Muse?"

Dunno. Is that Frasier I see in your avatar?

It's for the Olympics, chill out. It's an over-the-top anthem.

Origin of Symmetry is still a good album

The Olympics: Tricking people into watching weird sports they don't care about for some reason since 1790 or whenever idk

Muse fans being morons again

Matt Bellamy is like Bono, a total prick whose band I would like if only he wasn't in it.

edit: holy shit this is awful! those lyrics make "Call Me Maybe" sound like "A Day In The Life".

Errrgh I fucking hate times of British pride when they collate what they perceive to be our cultural greats and parade them one after another in one huge mediocre flag-waving shitefest. As if the Jubilee show wasn't awful enough, now it's the fucking olympics. "I'm Paul McCartney and I use my music to support the institution". Fuck you Paul McCartney.

oh Muse

Sorry, Anarchist that I like Muse in the way that the pretentious wankers on here enjoy Thrice.

Hey, it's pretty good... with three fingers in your ass to distract you.

Haha, jk I didn't listen. But I did go three knuckles deep. Probably better than the song anyway.

The lyrics should have been:

"Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi"

;-)

Last minute or so was pretty good. The rest isn't necessarily bad, I just feel like a douche while listening to it.

terrible fucking song

I had no reason to watch any of the olympics in the first place but this is shit

The only bit of promise in this song is the downtuned guitar work which hasn't really been heard since Black Holes..

awesome fucking song

I had no reason to watch any of the olympics in the first place but this is great

the only bit of suck in this song is the opening piano which is similar to I Belong to You...

for all of those that have ever wondered what it sounded like for freddie mercury to take a gigantic dump, here you go

not sure whats funnier, that song or AShoegazer's attempts at defending it.

Beginning sucked but the end/solo or whatever was alright. Obviously over the top for the Olympics.

"Last minute or so was pretty good."

This. The last minute was awesome, but everything preceding that was some of the worst shit I've ever heard in my life.

Honestly stylistically it was almost a return to form.

Lyrically it was shit covered in shit with shit on top of that shit. All mixed in with shit.

now if they just went back to doing what they do in the last minute of that song full time then all would be well

not sure whats funnier, that song or fuckthatnoise's attempts at being witty

aka the background music for Michael Phelps new Subway commercial.

This is really, really mediocre.

truly a piece of shit

Today in "England Tries its Hardest to Fuck Up the Olympics"

Here's the whole song. I hate this fucking guy's voice more than ever. Can't believe these guys used to be my favourite band.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnzXI7zWmko&feature=related

Riffs are boring, choirs are tacky, stringed sections are cheesy, pretty much the same drum beat throughout, lyrics are on par with something off a Nickelback record and Bellamy's voice is just about the worst part of this whole wreck of a song. The most tragic aspect of this entendre of travesties is that some people will actually like this. Somebody tie me a fucking noose

this is repulsively fucking gay, sounds like an overtly homosexual version of Queen



and did someone actually say it's heavy

are you implying that queen wasn't overtly homosexual? cuz uhh....

Wasn't the last Muse album about not listening to those in authority because, erm, lizard people/NWO/illuminati/JFK/HAARP/chemtrails etc? Then they go and do a song for the fucking Olympics? Excellent.

i work with a dude who subscribes to the chemtrails theory. shit's hilarious.

I knew somebody who told me, keeping a straight face, that the world's ruling elite "really, really are" blood-thirsty lizards. His literal argument was "Well, you can't prove they're NOT, can you?"

This sucks. I have a feeling these Olympics will be really dull for some reason. I don't know why... This further confirms my suspicions.

Should've been GY!BE. How epic would it have been to have Storm playing while they were going about the opening ceremony.

I remember the good ol' days when I had no clue who Muse was, yet loved the crap out of Ten Kens, Built to Spill, and Superchunk. I guess I never really branched out when I was a freshman.

Then this kid told me about Muse, and I liked them for about a week.

what you meant to say was absolution and origin of symmetry rule

that was so cheesy jesus christ

I kinda like it, but the lyrics and backing vocals suck

Fucking brits. Who the fuck do they think they are.
Piddly little countries like britain shouldn't be allowed to host events like this, NYC should have got it.

What hurts most is that we're in the fucking minority.....

See it from this point: If Bellamy tries a bit harder, we won't need a Freddie Mercury hologram.
Still hoping that the rest of the album is a bit more different and not so self-indulgent and somewhat cheesy.

Added the song link to the news article now, should make it easier for you guys

This song is actually terrible.

It really is awful. I don't know what happened to Matt Bellamy, he just fucking lost it.

"race, is a race."

fuck this band

They used to be good

It's a good song, but it's not up to par for Muse. The lyrics are pretty bad.

This is like a deja vu of the Say Anything situation on a much larger scale, with the band that has so much potential
making a cheesy downward spiral for the worst. I still want to love Muse... WHY MATT BELLAMY WHY?

you would though wouldn't you

I expected a horrible song and I think it's good. Better than almost any song off of their last album. I don't think it's too cheesy, the overblown epicness are what makes the song.

Sweet Jesus so many haters on here. "Overdone..." "pointless..." Bunch of fookin hipsters. This is not their best work by far but neither is it bad. It'll make for a good Olympics song and give them the exposure in a better way Coldplay did (Para-para-paradise MX album)

After hearing this inconsistent track I asked to myslef .Who the hell is this impostor and what he did with the real Matthew Bellamy?

I like it. Its definitely a step up from the trainwreck of an album that last one was.

"she's a major whore who's flat chested and not attractive." Still would

Even my mom thought this was shit

Just heard this. What the fuck. I'm sick of him shitting all over their legacy

Well, that was disappointing. I didn't expect much, though.

lol at muse having a legacy. they were always just a low-rent radiohead knockoff.

meh, well I always enjoyed origin of symmetry and absolution

lol radiohead is fucking overrated garbage

finally heard this and what the heck am I hearing lol

Worst song ever, ever, ever wankfuckwhywouldtheydothisfuckyoumattyoufuckingegocentricfucking twat

i like it

matt needs another mugshot

and bellamy's lyrics have never been good so get off that train

Die. Just listened again, song has fucked the Olympics and all hope of Muse getting better, is the worst thing ever. I would rather listen to Converge and Periphery than this SHIT

Bellamy's lyrics have never been this awful

Is a really forced track, it seems that Bellamy is tryin to make a rip off of we are the champions. Normally I love epic pretentious shit but can't get into this mess( and even enjoy a part of resistance).

"Starlight"

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold
