What is this.

6/6/2012 8:44:18 AM

Sounds like they went all dubstep on us.

6/6/2012 10:06:43 AM

hopefully not

6/6/2012 10:11:01 AM

Holy hell thats awful

6/6/2012 10:26:13 AM

It's a setup.

Viral marketing leading to whatever the concept of the album seems to be.



But I think it's pretty evident that they haven't "gone dubstep." The dubstep in the video sounds way too shitty, bland, and recycled to possibly be real.

6/6/2012 11:28:26 AM

Let's all hope.

6/6/2012 1:43:14 PM

this hasnt been posted in here yet, but here is a new song, Survival, which is going to be the official song of the 2012 olympics

much better than that dubstep shit

The dubstep shit must have been really bad because the Olympic song is terrible.

agreed. and i'm a hardcore fan too. wtf is going on

7/18/2012 1:12:37 PM

that song sounds like it belongs on the Godzilla (1998) soundtrack

7/18/2012 1:20:19 PM

click on the first link in the thread and fast forward halfway through to hear that dubstep shit

^lol, awesome

"2nd"single released from The 2nd Law: Unsustainable.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhKVych80ME&feature=player_embedded

WTF is that shit? That is just fucking awful. And why are they claiming this is the "2nd" single? The first song released from the album, Survival, was just some bullshit thrown together for the London Games and has had no commercial success (that I can see).

8/14/2012 9:51:53 AM

Muse wasnt good to begin with. No surprise here.

8/14/2012 10:03:34 AM

wtf did i just listen to

8/14/2012 10:04:31 AM

^^oh look, some D bag that posted in here just to slam them. Go fuck yourself.

okay apparently I'm mistaken. Survival and Unsustainable are just 2 tracks leaked. They're not going to be "singles"

Madness will be the first single, and it is coming out August 20th. Fingers crossed...

Commercial success doesn't define a single. A single is released and performs however it performs.

Also, you're begging to get people into this thread to slam a thoroughly mediocre band when you make a new thread instead of putting it in Music of 2012.

8/14/2012 1:40:53 PM

ugh. well.


fuck it.

8/14/2012 2:20:43 PM

^^ Haven't heard the new stuff yet, but Muse is definitely above and beyond a thoroughly mediocre band

8/14/2012 2:47:05 PM

Muse is like laser Floyd doing U2 covers.

Reminder: U2 hasn't been relevant in 20 years.

I didn't make this thread though. As to the Music of 2012 thread, like me (or several others) would search through that crap...

I'm aware, but you're the one who commented about someone posting just to talk shit, so I thought I'd tell you why.

Muse fans can't be bothered to wade through discussions about new music. Got it.

8/14/2012 6:24:06 PM

If this was 2001 and Origin of Symmetry just came out, and nobody knew who the fuck Muse was, you'd be singing their praises.

But now they're one of the biggest bands in the world, so they're mediocre shit.



Such a fucking fraud.



That said, I wasn't a huge fan of The Resistance, so I'm holding out hope the 2nd law is a return to the Black Holes, and especially Absolution, sound.

8/14/2012 6:58:35 PM

hahahahahahahaha

8/14/2012 7:13:12 PM

You're acting like I wasn't around and listening to records in 2001.

When Coldplay's first record came out, a bunch of people said, "They're the new Radiohead!" Some said the same thing about Travis. No one who actually listened to the records concurred with that.

Muse is no different. Inoffensive, toothless rock music for people who like such things. Good for them.

8/14/2012 7:49:05 PM

Hey dude, there's this band of gnome punk rockers in my back yard under a stump beating out the best noise in the world.

8/14/2012 10:50:40 PM

Yep.

In the entire landscape of music that is being released, they aren't the worst* or the best. They just aren't a band you would ever think to listen to.


*But the olympic thing was truly awful -- right down there with the spice girls.

8/14/2012 10:59:22 PM

Every once in a while I wonder what VB listens to...but just for a moment b/c I'm pretty sure I would have no interest in listening to it.

8/14/2012 11:56:28 PM

close mindedness is something, isn't it?

8/15/2012 12:07:42 AM

i'm pretty sure i remember seeing VB say 2 of his favorite bands were the beach boys and the rolling stones, so if you have no interest in them, well

8/15/2012 12:52:45 AM

okay, how about favorite bands that nobody likes. Not sure I know anyone that actively dislikes either of those classic groups.

8/17/2012 10:46:33 AM

My other favorite bands include Sleater-Kinney and Pixies.

Both bands sold out their venues (of 650 and 2000 seats, respectively) the last time they performed here.

8/17/2012 11:21:53 AM

Not really sure what you're trying to argue there. Except that I'm flabbergasted that you like the The Pixies, a group I know of.

Just listened to Madness....ugh.

8/20/2012 4:09:45 PM

I actually rather enjoy the first few Muse albums. Nothing crazy, but they were fairly well put-together songs imo. However, I did not really like the last album (never bothered to go back to it after the first 3 listens or so) and this new stuff is just terrible.

don't a lot of people just view muse as a band that made a feckless attempt at being like radiohead in the late 90s/early 00s?

8/20/2012 5:00:01 PM

I dont get why the haters have to continuously show their faces in this thread

I just listened to Madness for the first time, its definitely different but not terrible. and FWIW, Matt Bellamy is one of my favorite all-around musicians out now

8/20/2012 6:22:14 PM

^^ I really think that whole comparison is too overdone. I see some resemblance for sure but they really never were that similar imo.

OP video is hilarious

$999.99 gas and stock floor on a soundstage got me

I've never listened to a Muse song

Is this your senior quote or something?

8/28/2012 8:47:15 AM

I heard that Madness song again this morning. So, so bad.

To expand on what I said earlier, I actually thought that Origin of Symmetry and Absolution were good records. And to be honest, Showbiz and Black Holes had their moments as well, but they have just fallen off a cliff.

Madness invented ska.

8/29/2012 12:51:55 AM

^^ Shame on them for not making Origin of Symmetry six times...

10/1/2012 11:59:34 AM

I don't post in Entertainment but this is awesome.

10/1/2012 12:41:28 PM

I don't get why they used madness as a single . . .

10/1/2012 12:58:03 PM

Muse is a pretty pedestrian band, and everything vinylbandit has said about them in this thread is 100% true.

I like Muse because their music gives pleasure to my earholes, not because they are super original, or they play obscure instruments and record in a bathroom, or because they all look in different directions when taking group photos.

That being said, Madness sucks balls.

10/1/2012 4:31:31 PM

Never said that. In fact that was part of the problem for awhile, after making a couple good records they DID just about do that. They didn't really branch out much. And I enjoyed that some but it got a little boring and now that they have tried to I just don't like what they've done. Just not a style I enjoy anymore I guess. That's all.
