Black Holes & Revelations - MUSE - Listening session!!!

Starlight + Supermassive Black Hole were described by the band as the 'single' material in the new album, so i guess they kind of follow a different pattern to the rest of the album, which is actually quite apparant when you listen to it.

To me the lyrics on this album are far more banal than anything they've done before. It's taken the space/the infinite imagery of 'Bliss' and 'Sing for Absolution' and gone to the most pretentious extreme with them. I'd far rather have the lyrics from 'Sober' over any of this ****.

The moment I heard farting trumpet was the moment I realised Muse and Matt Bellamy had truly jumped the shark.

Meh, suit yourself i guess.

The lyrics in some of these songs i much prefer to basically all of showbiz and a majority of OOS. Both of those albums, if the style of music wasn't what it was, could quite easily be called emo. They're both just Matt bloody crying over a girl, at least this album is bordering on being slightly positive in his lyrics.

So basically, as far as you're concerned, any band ever created is emo, if not for the style of music they play?

WHAT THE **** IS THIS OBSESSION WITH EMO THESE DAYS? DO WE NEED ANOTHER 'WHAT IS EMO' THREAD OR A STICKY?!?!

Hell no, true emocore isn't even about these days, not even what people class as emo now, Fallout Boy for example or something like that actually are emocore. True emo was around in the 80's from what i know and true emo died out when Fugazi died basically. I should have said, 'their lyrics were too emotionally fueled by the onlslaught of not being able to have a girl' because to be honest, i'd rather listen to the politically fuelled lyrics of BH&R than the lyrics of Showbiz. I apologise for my missue of the word, now please put your caps lock away.

So don't try to question my judgement please, i apologise for using a word in the wrong context, but i'd just woken up and i wasn't exactly all there.
