I haven't heard it but I already hate it.

that sucked

Save a few minutes of your life and skip it. I give it a 0.7 out of 5.

It's that shitty teaser song in it's full form. Album will suck cock.

Laughable

Ugh this is so shit fuck this fuck
Fuck you MUse

this was really good because all dub step songs sound different and they provide meaningful lyrics!

^ lol, well that was awful, no surprise

I guess matt bellamy gave up on writing his shitty political lyrics and just uses voice samples and ahhhhhhhhhs and oooohhhs now

how simple and generic is dom's drumming jesus christ

I guess this could have been worse but the music is so generic (those breakdowns blah) and the message is so cheesy... I dunno

Also, I see the dislike bar growing larger as I watch the video haha

THAT ROBOT VOICE.

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO

Laughably bad

What they're saying is completely true (an economy based on endless growth is unsustainable, which is what a lot of economists have been saying for years) but the way of doing it is pretty ehh

Haha that sucked

Holy shit that was horrible. Muse is dead to me now.

Big surprise, they love it on absolutepunk.net.

Absolutepunk is not a site I visit very often. I plan not to again.

wouldn't have been half as bad without that robot voice, but it still would have been disappointing.

This is so lame. I'd rather it was utterly dreadful than this laughable, generic attempt to keep with the times.

Do not want.

What happened to MUSE? They didn't always used to suck so hard. They used to just suck a little.

This was a youtube comment:

"this isnt shitty...Muse is simply trying to do what Rage Against the Machine did to hip-hop in the 90's....Theyre taking s genre of music and changing it....making it their own....this is far better than any full on electronic based dubstep"

What do you have to say Dev?

By the way, song is amazing I don't know what all the hate is about. Sounds like future sex

I'm listening to this again just for you nash

I dunno what you guys' problem is this is the logical evolution of the bahahhaahahahahahah!!!

That was one of the worst things I've ever heard.

you guys see the HOW TO PLAY on the side there...i dunno what to think of it..

I'm kidding. It isn't amazing. Solid 2.5 imo

BUT you just gave a back-handed representation of your love for me which is awesome

dang

well played

You're not the only ninja =)

Skrillex destroys this

I actually kind of not hate this

I also don't think the whole album will sound like this either

After Korn's disaster of an album you'd think that people would learn

ty stop lying to yourself

props for new av tyrael

whole song is cringe

rules so much

Yep, this is terrible.

i read an article recently in which bellamy said there's only one dub step song on the album. i'm gonna go with that

The violins were nice.
Otherwise, it all sucked.

^Matt Bellamy lies. Song is horrible

Probably the best song ever recorded. It was so good, I hate it. In fact, It's so flawless and perfect, that it is actually horrible. So by default, it's quite possibly the worst song of the year. It was so bad that as soon as it started playing through my speakers, my dog vomited. Seriously not joking, my dog threw up about 10 seconds into the song. Maybe Matt Bellamy will die in a horrible bass dropping incident on their inevitable upcoming "groundbreaking tour". We can only hope...

"this isnt shitty...Muse is simply trying to do what Rage Against the Machine did to hip-hop in the 90's....Theyre taking s genre of music and changing it....making it their own....this is far better than any full on electronic based dubstep"

no, they heard dubstep, liked it, realised they don't know how to produce electronic music, took their instruments and started playing what they heard...but badly so it's not a rip-off...oh...and added violins

but I'll never EVER forget, that the economy is UNSUSTAINABLE (probably due to the brobot that I will have nightmares of), so I guess the message was received

It ruined Korn, it will ruin Muse?

What would be awesome is if they pulled a fast one (no matter how much I dislike this band.) And went all acoustic for the rest of the album, and this was just a joke...


We can all hope, at least.

Id rather pull out my pubes than listen to it again.

Apparently there's going to be two songs with just the bassist singing. Yikes.

pretty bad when the new shit bag green day is gonna put out will be better

well at least we might get a cool review from Dev ripping on this

Quickly becoming the worst band ever

Robert overreacting as always

Usually, you people just bash stuff for no reason.

But this...

is fucking awful. What the fuck, WHAT A JOKE of a band! How can you do this to yourself!

Fuck

Dude I'm not overreacting, I've been bashing Muse since 05

"an economy based on endless growth is unsustainable, BUT YOU SHOULD TOTALLY BUY OUR ALBUM! IT'S GOT DUBSTEP! That's what you kids are into right?"

Not a bad song, but God, those wubs annoy the shit out of me. And the robo voice that keeps outstaying its welcome....

STICKIN' IT TO THE MAN-STEP

'Dude I'm not overreacting, I've been bashing Muse since 05'

lol you goddamn hipster you

It's really not that bad. It isn't good but it isn't omg someone turn it off awful.

now i remembered why I never wanted to give Muse a try after hearing Uprising...

you should have started with Absolution.

this is pretty awful

i didnt unfortunately but im glad i came here and saw its average rating

This will get like 1000 ratings even though it has a 0% chance of being good for some reason just cuz Muse is popular I guess fuck

Kind of afraid to give this a listen, this is supposed to be influenced by Skrillex right?

i'm a huge muse fan but i think this song/video was uninspired, melodramatic bullshit. the "dubstep" section sounded so contrived.

Wow, that song was pretty weak.

The middle part where Matt sings would have sounded really good if they got rid of that shitty dubstep in the background. The rest of the song is pure garbage

I like how this is supposed to be all epic and topical, but is just fucking stupid on top of sounding terrible.

i can't believe this is actually happening...

We will be victorio... No. No, you won't.

muse makes everyone sound like such a hipster because they were decent to excellent on their first few albums (depending on who you ask) and objectively terrible now.

i know this is a cliche already, but this song is really, really bad.

i mean it sucks that i saw them touring for The Resistance, but at least now I can avoid this tour

never liked Muse much to begin with, always found them really pretentious
gonna ignore this, thanks everyone for the warning comments!

I thought perhaps this would actually be kind of interesting and you shmucks were overreacting like you always do but nah that was horrible.

Dubstep is going to sound SOOOOO dated in the future. I mean it already sounds dated imagine 10-20 years from now.

"no, they heard dubstep, liked it, realised they don't know how to produce electronic music, took their instruments and started playing what they heard...but badly so it's not a rip-off...oh...and added violins"

i'm kind of confused... was this actually played with guitars? because it doesn't sound like it at all.

"It ruined Korn, it will ruin Muse?"

there was nothing to ruin with korn, they just somehow got even worse.

"I actually kind of not hate this

I also don't think the whole album will sound like this either"

this.

the orchestral part is really nice, the rest is more meh than awful.

"Dubstep is going to sound SOOOOO dated in the future. I mean it already sounds dated imagine 10-20 years from now."

that's kind of the problem with electronic music in general. it's so based in technology and we all know how fast technology becomes outdated and obsolete. a shitty, outdated synth sound could really ruin an otherwise well composed song.

Korn rules bite your tongue wench

This is dog shit.

Nah its not the production Auber. I think we've reached an point with technology where the sounds themselves wont sound dated. The 80s stuff sounds a little dated because the technology was primitive, but I think from the 90s on electronic stuff still sounds fresh to me. Im just saying the actual style of dubstep is going to be so heavily associated with this time that its going to sound ridiculously dated.

It's not bad, but its not good. I mean it feels like its building up to something, but it just never goes anywhere.

At least, thats how I see it.

well, that was hilariously bad.

Agreed paperback

"Radiohead did it before Muse.
Trumblane in reply to HarryWful (Show the comment) 12 minutes ago 2 "

Well, that was awful...they dove WAY too deep into the dubstep side of things...

^most laughable youtube comment I have ever read.

Seemed more like a trailer to a shitty action movie than a music video.

that was the worst thing I've ever heard

What the hell? This is terrible. Dubstep needs to die right now.

I hope their next video also opens with an MRI scan, but of Matt Bellamy having had a massive subdural haematoma, to the point where he's in a vegetative state and can't inflict this steaming heap of rotten ejaculate on the general public. What a prick.

Im not gonna lie. If a band that wasn't Muse did this, or if Muse did this before all the Skrillex hype, I might actually think this is cool.

But this is the same band whose first 4 albums I loved and have probably listened to more than any other albums. I used to say they were my favorite band. Can't quite do that now.

"Big surprise, they love it on absolutepunk.net."

I'm glad I managed to skip over that thread.

Dude, if you get a chance, check out the Forever Came Calling review. People going all crazy just because the reviewer is starting to realize that pop punk kinda sucks.

aoty right here ya'll

"Dude, if you get a chance, check out the Forever Came Calling review. People going all crazy just because the reviewer is starting to realize that pop punk kinda sucks."

i just looked and the review seems pretty positive. i was all excited to see some butthurt pop-punk kids too :/

"i just looked and the review seems pretty positive. i was all excited to see some butthurt pop-punk kids too :/"

That's why I was so frustrated with the thread - the review was definitely positive, but everybody was giving him a hard time, for no good reason.

Somebody tried to say "wow, this gets a 65% when Rick Ross gets 80%? Absolutepunk sucks." While that statement may be true, he didn't even consider the fact that the two reviews were by two different reviewers.

It's better than new Korn.

I used to love Muse. Kate Hudson and money made Matt Bellamy too happy to write the deranged music that most Muse fans of the early zeros love.

(First post simply because I cannot stand in silence in the face of such a depressing moment in Muse's history)

youtube comments make me depressed

I love Muse. They're one of my favorite bands of all time. I love that Muse is writing about the energy crisis. I like that a lot.

But this song is just what the fuck for 3:48

Song rules, you're faggots with a small penis, jajajajajajajajaj. Just kidding guys , I agree with a big percent of the comments here, this song is perhaps the most pointless thing released by Muse. When it seems that bellamy could save the song that gay robot kills the song; now my expectations for the next album are decreasing and my advice for Bellamy and company is that hearing brostep while they are on drugs is not a very good idea ; despite the 2 songs and some tracks of resistance they have a consistent discography so they should correct their mistakes for the future.

lol muse

No matter what way you slice it, this is the worst sounding thing they have ever done in their time as a band. If they think that this sounds good, then they've obviously completely lost all the artistic integrity they once had. Their first few albums sounded authentically "epic" and didn't need stupid intros. This song is a sign of a band that has completely lost sight of what they once were. Absolute garbage.

agreed^

Woah this got a lot of comments fast.

More boring than anything else.

band is horseshit

Song was bad as fuck. Just some trying to be epic choir build-up into some wubshit then there's a part with some singing and back to the wubstep.

boooring and not good

I don't hear any dubstep. Its Matt making crazy noices on his guitar like he always does. But by all means continue flipping out in the comments.
Spectre1545 1 hour ago


I love these comments

What a grand way to get people to take your message seriously.

Economic truths followed by bass drops and wobbles and robots.

It was good until the robot/dubstep combo which was just disgustingly awful

I am still waiting for them to say "Sorry guys, just shitting you, here's the real album..."

At this stage though it's not going to happen

lol i just got shat on by youtubers for saying the song is a pile of horseshit, definitely a different culture on that website, more accepting of horsehit

ugh wtf, muse? way to shit on your legacy.

yeah I laughed out loud too

got my 1 gun cocked and loaded for this bad boy

that's kind of the problem with electronic music in general. it's so based in technology and we all know how fast technology becomes outdated and obsolete. a shitty, outdated synth sound could really ruin an otherwise well composed song.

lol

"What I see with this album is an attempt to get a political and activist message through. The purpose is to, with a more mainstream sound, try to educate people about what our consumerism and individualism is doing to the planet... Hence the tittle Unsustainable!"

Consumerism and... individualism? When stupid fucks try to be intellectual. One of the worst comments I've seen on youtube to accompany one of the worst songs I've ever heard.

writes a song with one word in it.

political activist.

so the entropy of a system can only increase? ahhh....

hahaha aubergine

Oh God, this is bad. They used to make great music a while ago, why do this shit ?

as much as i want to ignore the dubstep parts and say that the rest of the song is good, it's just too big a stain to ignore. i actually like the first minute and a half-ish a ton, it's pretty epic-sounding (albeit somewhat predictable) muse shit. but the dubstep just fucking kills it. goddamit.

Absolution, Showbiz, and Origin of Symmetry were cool. Bad has gotten shittier and now complete shit since then.

Already have the summary for the review sorted

Looking forward to it

Black Holes and Revelations was still good.

Trying too hard.

UNSUSTAINABLE.

Not sure what's worse, this or "survival". "Unsustainable" is the musical equivalent of Bill O'Reilly eating dog shit then shitting it out then eating it again, but lyrically "Survival" is Mitt Romney trying to give his reflection a blow job in the mirror and then ejaculating prematurely all over his reflection's face. Fuck.

I was just going to ignore this but I ended up having to hear it anyway through somebody else. It was way more embarrassing than I could have imagined.

Someone needs to slap Bellamy and ask him what the fuck is he thinking...

I mean seriously how did this happen? Going back and watching the Hullabaloo concert is so sad to see how on top of it they were compared to where they are now.

lol black holes

i'm glad i saw them right after they released black holes. if the electronic/dubstep were not in this, this would be a kinda ok, but like this its nothing but URGH

crap

And I thought Survival was bad...

fucking lol

'Already have the summary for the review sorted'

Hi I'm the Dev I like robots and this sucks fuck you all I rule?

Wow Tyr, you've really turned into a little bitch haven't you?

song is not good

Hi we're Muse we like robots and this sucks fuck you all we rule?

Seriously though if the whole album ends up sounding like this I hope a new Mark David Chapman stands up to put Matt out of his misery

they sucked on their last album too. I am NOT surprised at this bullshit.

This is beyond bullshart, hilariously bad for both a serious and a tongue-in-cheek track, not sure which camp they fell in when they wrote this, but either way they just shouldn't release the album if this is anything to go by. Hasn't everyone gotten over the WUB by now anyway!?

=_= I'm getting the feeling that another band is going to resort to dubstep bullshit. God help us...

Wasn't really a song...this is just asking for trolls.

wow muse may top "Chuckles and Mr Squeezy". Stoked for this

Muse's egos are unsustainable.

Well, that was lame as hell. WE'RE SO POLITICAL LOLOLOL OH YEAH WE'RE ALSO A DUBSTEP BAND NOW.

Dodgy Davey's bookmaker odds for the Olympic Marathon:

(a) Any Kenyan: 3-1
(b) Any non-Kenyan [excluding (c)]: 100-1
(c) Matt Bellamy: 2-1

BrokeNCYDE would have executed this better

I doubt it

they already have by not doing it

Why has every band in the world suddenly decided to do dubstep? Fucking metallica's next album will
probably be dubstep too if this is the way things are headed..And sadly that wouldn't even be
surprising after "Lulu" or whatever

This is the worst thing to happen to the global economy since the Global Financial Crisis.

Well I like it. It's not brilliant, but not bad by any means IMO.

3/5 for me. A hell of a lot better than Survival.

huh, I didn't know Bellamy had a sputnik account...

i had no idea muse were changing genres... the fuck... oh well never cared to begin with

I remember when they were decent.

This was laughably bad.

The new Design the Skyline song is even better than this.

i cant wait for muse fanboys to flood our site when dev's review comes out and they all start accusing him of hating dubstep or electronic music. we may have a legendary thread in the making.

Geez, this sucks harder than a vacuum cleaner.

I started with Absolution and ended with Absolution.
I don't care for anything else they ever made and, based on this, will ever do.

i am going to listen to this for pure lols.
I really dont want to but i think it is essential

worst song of the year already given out.
that shit was woeful. My ears have just been brutally attacked.

i cant wait for muse fanboys to flood our site when dev's review comes out and they all start accusing him of hating dubstep or electronic music. we may have a legendary thread in the making.

Check this commentary from the unsustainable video

THIS IS NOT DUBSTEP ITS MUSESTEP.

Lol, some youtube users should stop smoking weed.

Sometimes 'hate' is the wrong word for the situation. I often feel a sort of distaste for something that is utterly and totally awful from every perspective. This outlook, feeling a comfortable grasp on something that is fully described and fully shite, i am going to call 'shate'. I shate Muse.

Haha, musestep. That's good.

Not sure about that. They'll take the Linkin Park path where they ditch a lot of hardcore fans while picking up just as many new ones with their newest album.

u guise i'm not sad anymoar ^_^
pop-punx showed me teh wai!

This is different because LP was one of the key bands of genre in decline and they were trying to go to another horizon, sadly the results weren't the best and everybody prefers two classic albums like HT and Meteora over MTM and ATS, and living things is a little step forward. The path of muse is more like the path of metallica cuz they had a very consistent discography but in the 5th album they decided to make an unnecesary experimentation and they went downhill.

People really dont like wubs do they

"that's kind of the problem with electronic music in general. it's so based in technology and we all know how fast technology becomes outdated and obsolete. a shitty, outdated synth sound could really ruin an otherwise well composed song."

you're so right. it really is one of the trials of being an electronic artist...keeping up with the times. the technology is improving way too fast, it's really getting out of hand, as an electronic musician. i spent weeks perfecting my Van Halen Jump patch for a house track and by the time I finished it was the 21st century

i might review this too but in order to protect my approval rating it will be under the guise of an alt

UNLISTENABLE

i hope this is dev's review summary i just spoiled

I TOLD YOU NOT TO TELL ANYONE

genre: UNLISTENABLE

i like it

This is half the reason why I dibbed it. If you happen to see a youtube account with a name similar to mine posting a link to the review on the youtube page for this song, it's probably not coincidental

UNLISTENABLE MUSESTEP

I hate the review already

One does not simply

"make" dubstep

I thought that the days when I could hope to get any enjoyment from a new Muse track were gone, but that was fucking hilarious! I could barely hear half the track I was laughing so hard

Fuck you, Muse. I'm going to listen to Space Dementia now.

Muse Ranking

Origin of Symmetry
Absolution
Black Holes and Revelations

The Resistance



















The 2nd Law

^ perfect

^Resistance should be a little farther down, but that's the order

Holy shit that sucked

Do people understand that that was their INTRO song? The rest will be nothing like that, and I am really looking forward to it!

Do people understand that that was their INTRO song? The rest will be nothing like that, and I am really looking forward to it!

that sounded like a dubstep parody. are they serious? i mean... really? i like Muse and i like good dubstep, but this is just plain disaster.

"Do people understand that that was their INTRO song?"

even so, there's no excuses for Muse making this kind of turd.

Literally laughed when I watched the music video, and promptly died a little inside. Also that robot fucking killed me.

Do people understand that that was their INTRO song?

The rest will be nothing like that,

i actually agree, i think this song is funny if anything.
its pretty rare for me to burst out with HARRRRHEEEEEEEEHARRRRs during a song, but i definatley did it during this one

Still don't know what to think about this.

Does anybody know if that song "Survival" is gonna be on their new album? That song was pretty meh also IMO

It is

Matt Bellamy is the greatest guitarist of the modern era.

Fuck off and stop bumping this piece of shit

so they made the drops and wizzahs a wubswubsuwbs with their guitars!

well hot damn! kids these days don't know how hard they have it.

Negative.

bump.

Not bad at all, but certainly not great. I'll give the song credit, it is incredibly epic. I don't have a problem with dubstep, it's a great game changer in electronic music, but it feels tedious at times. I can't say whether or not Muse has a unique idea for their experimental sound this time around. It almost feels like Muse has finally cracked and is trying to catch up with with a completely NEW sound. Linkin Park experiments like this (for better or for worse.)

this song pisses me off so fucking much, god what have muse become

That fucking robot TV thing with the angry face pisses me off even more than the actual shitty song.

The minute long wind up is unnecessary but I didn't think it was horrible. If this is the best song on the album however I don't predict good things.

based on this and survival, the album is gonna be complete shit

Well I can't speak for the whole album but Nero has worked on at least one of the tracks

wud be sooo siqq if bellamy sung my eyes yo

whos going to review this PoS.
who ever it is... i feel sorry for you.
having to listen to this thing from the beginning to the end is going to be mentally fucking tough.
i vote deviant...=)

You people are way too negative. Even though this song wasn't very good I still have high hopes for this album.

But why? Survival was also 90% awful.

This has to be a joke

God I hope so.

God I hope so.

This might actually be worse than Kornstep.

What the fuck was this.

This band is now a joke.

whos going to review this PoS.

I honestly can't wait to review this album.
