CoolFunkMan Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I heard part 6 of USoE earlier today. Imo the entire track (so far) is cheesy, over the top and very flamboyant, but bloody hell it's brilliant! I can understand why some peeps aren't going to like it though. Muse are one of those bands that like to push themselves further and experiment, they're a band that you need to approach with an open mind. Then why was it posted that it's the full song? if it is then it's incomplete and if it's not then I wish they would just hurry the fuck up and release the rest of the track... they've hyped it more than enough now and it's just pissing me off. The full song is 'United States of Eurasia (+ Collateral Damage)', as said earlier. Don't worry, I'm sure it's coming! ^^
S.C.G Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Don't get me wrong, I love Muse and yes it is very OTT even for them, I do like the way it builds up and the Queen inspired bits work well the first couple of times but not for the Eurasia bit... this is why I'm hoping the Collateral Damage part will be decent to compensate. I want the album to flow well like Origin of Symmetry did and not sound 'messy' like Black Holes and Revelations... which I still like but when albums don't flow well it makes them less listenable so I'm at least hoping that their latest album will be well paced.

Paj! Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I wouldn't call them "experimental" in doing an homage to Queen. --- The Playlist to my Summer so far; Bulletproof/In For The Kill/Armour Love - La Roux Scream - Michael and Janet Jackson They Don't Care About Us - Michael Jackson Sonnets/Unrealities XI - Bjork Hurricane Drunk - Florence & The Machine Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle - Nirvana All lovely. I can't get La Roux out of my head. The album is so good. Though I don't share the same love of Tigerlily as everyone else.
S.C.G Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I can't get La Roux out of my head. The album is so good. Though I don't share the same love of Tigerlily as everyone else. La Roux is indeed lovely but seriously, why no love for Tigerlily? I love it personally loved it so much that I sig'd my favourite lyrics from it. :awesome:

I love it personally loved it so much that I sig'd my favourite lyrics from it. :awesome: I don't dislike it, but it's not as good as some of the others/ It has no high point that makes it stand out, like some other tracks that wouldn't stand out without a high point. To me anyway. I adore Colourless Colour atm too.
My Buttons are Magic! Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I HATE la Roux - seriously - she annnnnnnnnoys me too but I wont judge those who do like La Roux cause my current listening tastes arent exactly brilliant (Hollywood Undead)
My Buttons are Magic! Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Hollywood Undead are awesome though! that better not be sarcasm cause i think they are awesome totally not my usual type of music though....
Eddage Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Oh no, it wasn't sarcasm (dunno why I used that emoticon), everyone needs a bit of screamo sometimes (or most of the time for me at the moment)! May I also recommend a band called Family Force 5, kinda similar, their first album that is (Business Up Front/Party In The Back). If you want something a bit more electro-y then their second album (Dance Or Die) is also good! I've only ever met one other person who likes Family Force 5... Edited July 20, 2009 by Eddage

Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Oh no, it wasn't sarcasm (dunno why I used that emoticon), everyone needs a bit of screamo sometimes (or most of the time for me at the moment)! I think the "screaming/rapping" combined with the guy that does the singing is gooood - u get a good balance! plus some of the lyrics are funnny :P
Eddage Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Yeah, I was just listening to Everywhere I Go, it's awesome! By the way, check the edit of my last post!
My Buttons are Magic! Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Yeah, I was just listening to Everywhere I Go, it's awesome! By the way, check the edit of my last post! I shall youtube! check back later ;P listened to a few songs and Verdict: Not bad! (as one song i didnt like and a few i did!) Ive definately become more open minded in regards to music - and I have to say Im glad I can listen to a wider variety!

Ive definately become more open minded in regards to music - and I have to say Im glad I can listen to a wider variety! My favourite track is definitely Love Addict, good fun! Other favs are Numb, Drama Queen and Never Let Me Go. Although, I have to say that the album grew on me, I probably would have just said "not bad" when I first listened, now I love it and they're my most played on Last.fm!

Other favs are Numb, Drama Queen and Never Let Me Go. love addict was the one i didnt like :P (it was the first on the youtube list!) and Everywhere I go by HU is really good! my favourite one is My Black Dahlia!
S.C.G Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Apparently it is piano according to zane lowe.... SHAME Well as long as there is something on the end to finish it properly because the 'EuraSIA! SIA! SIA!' bit just doesn't cut it... in any case I wasn't expecting it to be the best track on the album or anything so I'm not too bothered, hopefully 'Uprising' will be better and worth the wait though I'm allready skeptical about it... :/

Razz Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Guitar based song- chants of OI OI OI though- a bit like ACDC OMG A HOMAGE TO ACDC WOULD BE GREAT OMG STOP SITTING ON CAPS LOCK.
stuwii Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 OMG STOP SITTING ON CAPS LOCK. I like using it for EMPHASIS or EXCITEMENT or maybe a MIXTURE OF THE TWO as it STANDS OUT
Goron_3 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Just got the Sister Act soundtrack, best 60 minutes i've had today
Razz Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I like using it for EMPHASIS or EXCITEMENT or maybe a MIXTURE OF THE TWO as it STANDS OUT Yeah that's why there're the options to embolden and italicise your text. A little VARIETY never hurt anyone.
Dyson Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Uh oh, heated discussion! Man I love this place. Personally, once you get past the shock of "Oh my god, was that Queen?" the first time, you can realy appreciate the song. It took me back when I heard it the first time but I've listened to the song as each part came out and I've totally loved it. I've had it in my head for a few days now. I was expecting something bigger towards the end, but never mind - the end result is still fantastic.
CoolFunkMan Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Or face the fact that no matter what Muse release people will rape the shit out of it. Lol true, I noticed that during the Black Holes and Revelations era tbh, even some fans were moaning about it! Personally, I like pretty much everything they've done so far. Apparently it is piano according to zane lowe.... SHAME Imo, that's a good thing. Whilst I do like Black Holes and Revelations, it's seriously lacking piano interludes/tunes. It's good that there's going to be more of it in The Resistance. I look forward to it! ^^
Paj! Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Shania Twain is such a mood-lifter. She's not musical genius, let's not lie, but she has a knack for creating awesome pop-power (not really power-pop, just pop songs that makes you happy and powerful, but that aren't trite and rubbish). She needs to stop using exclamation marks though; Ka-Ching! I'm Gonna Getcha Good! Don't! Man! I Feel Like A Woman! Up! (If You're Not In It For Love) Then I'm Outta Here! <--My favourite song title ever.
