sux

good lord

The soundtrack to a midlife crisis

matt bellamy needs to get it over with and fuck himself

5. Singles.

Think about that for a moment.

This is almost In Flames definition of "scraping the bottom of the barrel"

5 out of 11 songs...yeah I think the 1 rating is justifiable now

'member Terry Crews?
'member the 80s?
'member Back to the Future?
'member Gremlins?
'member when Muse weren't insufferable?

Whoa that was bad

can't wait to review this monstrosity

I can't bear it. Please lord.

Hang on so they've released FIVE singles without dropping the album yet, what are they doing?

it sounds like three of their earlier songs cut together to make a new one
maybe they could stop writing music and have machine learning take over

"Back to The Future + Footloose + The Breakfast Club + Nightmare on Elm Street 2 + Critters + Ghostbusters + Buffy The Vampire Slayer (the 80's film) + From Dusk Till Dawn = THIS AWESOME VIDEO!!!"

yo this song gud af

and the video is nice too

lol

THIS HAS GOTTA BE MUSE'S MOST FUN EXPERIMENTAL ALBUM TO DATE! I LOVE IT, Need this light right now. #THANKGODFORMUSE

yall care too much tbh

I’m not even gonna listen to this one. I admittedly want to, but damn, I’d like to listen to at least a FEW new songs when the album comes out.

What’s with this trend of releasing half of the album? I prefer when there used to only be one single, two max, before release.

'we've heard practically 60% of it already'

Nope, I make it just over 45%, don't schools teach kids anything these days? Hehe

5 singles is more pretentious than this band thinking they're still relevant

I'm enjoying this. It's fun and dumb and honestly i'm alright with that. Can't wait to see them on tour next year

@Prancer: the sad thing is they ARE relevant in a sense & massively so, whether they should be is a completely different issue.

Just caught up on all five singles, this is probably one of the better ones and that's not saying much

The Dark Side is actually dope tho

I'm gonna be the only person on the site to defend this album, can I get some pity?

no

yikes.

These guys totally lost their marbles.

You'd think with Kate Hudson out of the picture they'd be good again

i keep thinking this band has been releasing way too much music but they just kinda follow a 2.5/3 year cycle which is fine.

I just don't think I'll bother with any of these recent ones

@dewinged. I was gonna say. If you release five singles you might as well release the damn album.

yall acting like thats not happening all the time anyway

chorus is nice i guess. can’t think of a band that has sold out as hard as muse

In Flames, All That Remains, just to name a couple

fall out boy

them too

Biffy Clyro

30 Seconds to Mars

Metallica

didn't people used to like this band

Why release 5 singles before the album comes out? That's like having 5 trailers for a movie before it comes out. Spoils the whole thing.

Not that I'm into Muse, but yeah

band is the audio form of ready player one

It's fine. Release all the shit you like, as long as there's one or two great moments in the album I'll be happy.

you got low standards dawg. There's millions of records out there worth spinning with many great moments, and they aren't made by Muse!

Honestly? That wasn't too bad. I might even admit that I enjoyed it a little.

hey that biffy clyro comparison is not appreciated.

Jesus that was fucking horrible. Band's always been bad though.

lol no fuck off

Song is pretty good lol, catchy and fun. Hating Muse is a pretty cliched trend tbf

agreed

I've followed the band since fucking Showbiz back in 99, and even though i've wanted them to reach the heights of OoS, Absolution and BHaR, I haven't hated a single album they've released after those ones. They have plenty of cringe and whatnot, but there is way worse rock music around. At least this is fun, and it's clearly not to be taken serious.

Agreed Faraudo. I like Muse and not afraid to admit it. Loved Drones as far as the new albums go.

Same, gave Drones a 4 or something like that. New album sounds like a fun, brief and cheesy affair. I've liked 3 out of 5 and loved 1 of the songs they've released so far, so there's that.

Exact same numbers here. Though I actually haven’t listened to this one yet. Kind of kicking myself for listening to so many already. I feel like it’s going to ruin the excitement of the new album for me.

wack. i like that they ripped the little whisper thang off of Super Massive Black Hole, and i also like that this song has less electro crap... i dunno! Not saying I might ever love them like I did ten years ago but maybe for once I won't change the station when they're on in the car

So fucking bad, just terrible

what the fuck happened to this band

ooooowwweeeeooooooooooooooooooo

I got low standards when it comes to muse, 1 or 2 good moments and i'll be happy.

The album art is pretty damn cool but is Muse trying to go synthwave for this one?

This is actually the best single yet but still slightly above average

lol fantano put this in best tracks im fuckin dying

When's it out anyway? Looking forward to being part of this shitstorm. Come on guys, I know you've got another terrible album in you, something akin to The 2nd Law will do i.e. hilariously awful.

"band is the audio form of ready player one" lmao

yeah guess im not alone in liking this in the elite music consumer circles

fantano ma boi

I haven't actually listened to any of these singles (intentionally), wouldn't want to spoil the 'fun'... maybe they will surprise me. I wouldn't mind a couple of half-decent jams to bring back the nostalgia, but my expectations are zero so if it's completely terrible that could also be entertaining in a round-a-bout kind of way.

@Flug: are you saying Sput is elite?

nope, fartano is

which is a whole travesty on its own

talkin bout me and fantano as the true elite

extremely small dick energy

the tick tickles

I hated this at first but then fantano said he liked it so I guess I like it now too I suppose

i liked it before fantano liked it so i must be the gayest

"lol fantano put this in best tracks im fuckin dying"

Well, he did that because it's actually a pretty good track that's only being hated around here lol, so that's cool.

Sputnik hiveminds pretty hard.

It kinda does, yeah.

yea #thanksFantano

I don’t care man, I’m a huge Muse fan and not afraid to say it. I am kinda lukewarm on the singles for this so far but like TDS. I haven’t listened to this yet because I don’t wanna hear half of the fucking album before it drops. I miss the days when bands would release one single before the album. I’m actually kicking myself for listening to the other three.

I thought Drones was great, save for a few duds. Not a big fan of 2nd Law but have liked all the other albums.

Muse fans are the most oppressed members of society - gang weeders rise up
