Tony Soprano said:Those songs are the only ones I like from Absolution as well.Their performance on Jonathan Ross was alright, still don't think anything of the song though. Chris singing with that weird effect on was pants, and if you took Matt's singing out of the song, you would never think it was Muse playing. Their new hairstyles and clothes are too emo.
everyone's going all emo now. i used to really look up to Matt, when he was really using all his classical training and really abusing the guitar. for me, their songs lack focus...they don't go anywhere, they don't have a single hook in ANY of the ones i've heard...they just appear to meander aimlessly until they go quiet. from what i've heard, i really feel like they've all been sat round drinking, and Matt's gone "think it's time to bang another album out lads, but let's do loads of acid first, so we forget what the hell it is we're all about".
it really is a shame, because, as i've said, i really liked Muse. how can we go from songs like Muscle Museum, Sunburn, Fillip, New Born, Bliss, Microcuts, Citizen Erased, Space Dementia, Hyper Music, Deadstar, Plug in Baby, Stockholm Syndrome and In Your World, to what they're doing now? tis a sad day for British music.
To me they've tried to go the trendy Franz Ferdinand route. I used to idolise Matt back in the days of the red/blue hair and I thought he was cool as **** on and offstage. I find it really hard to reconcile the band that played on Top of The Pops with Chris on Drums and Dom on bass with the vacuum packed robots who seem to comprise Muse now.
I don't know anyone who likes them. I do now. They have a new album out this year don't they?
