There's absolutely no point or advantage to comparing Muse to Radiohead... the only similarity is that both Matt Bellamy and Thom Yorke sing in Falsetto, that's it really, in terms of quality there shouldn't be a comparison.

 

I still love both but if we are going to compare them then Radiohead have produced more quality albums on the whole Imo so... ::shrug:

Not in terms of style or quality, just in terms of the musical direction, in that expect the next album to be almost unrecogniseable compared to Showbiz/OoS in the same way Kid A and Pablo Honey have so little in common.

 

But loads of bands change their style between albums - why compare them to Radiohead?

Now that I can understand. :)

YS is great.

Yeah, most decent bands/albums change between albums. Or they'd become stagnant, and therefore be shit.

Also, Tori Amos releases a new album in November called Midwinter Graces. It's being very loosely called a "christmas album". In the sense it's all wintery and clasical with some reworkingso f ancient carols or something.

Right lets stop comparing Muse and Radiohead MUSE - Rock, PIB, SS

Radiohead much slower style. Lets compare Radiohead and ACDC yeah they are similar lol

 

Paranoid Android says Hi.

 

There's quite a bit of variation with Radiohead. Idioteque is pretty strange considering what came before it. Muse have their slow songs too. It's not all Plug in Baby.

Name me a quick radiohead song

 

15 Step.

 

 

 

 

 

 

- wait for the interlude

 

 

 

 

- wait for it to kick in.

 

These are the ones I've picked off from the top of my head. They might not all be "ohmygodthisisasfastasstockholmsyndromemykidneysaregoingtofalloutofmyarse" fast, but they're still pretty upbeat. There's many others out there.

Hell, even McFly have a multi-part song and a two part song (or a song and a sequel... a song on one album carries on the story from a song two albums previous). The Format do it quite well too, ending one album with the line "We all fall down" and starting the next with "Ashes to ashes" (ring-a-ring-a-roses if you're wondering) and one song says "I hate what I've become" and in another on another album it says "When I said "I hate what I've become" I lied, I hated who I was." So lots of artists do it, its not something Matt Bellamy crafted.

 

Prog-rock is a genre which frequently has multi-part songs I've been led to believe (don't listen to much prog-rock) and of course Arcade Fire.

 

In terms of goosebumps, this song always gives it me. I highly recommend you just close your eyes and listen, it works better that way.

Tori Amos during her awful time in Y Kant Tori Read even had a bloody multi-part song; Etienne Trilogy (The Highlands - Skyeboat Song - Etienne) or whatever it was. [/trying not to reference her, but it was on topic]

 

For what it was, Y Kant Tori Read is hilariously entertaining though. Oh, and whilst I'm here, the Raspberry Swirl was basically the ADP tour version. Not my favourite but it was fun. Space Dog was to die for, and Icicle had John on an electric cello, it was beautiful.

 

Relistening to Two Suns by Bat For Lashes and I think I like it more. Moon & Moon caught my attention more, and Daniel was nice to hear in context with the other songs.

 

Cruel Intentions feat. Beth Ditto has been in my head all day. Check it out! She sounds like Roisin Murphy at points during the song.
