Muse played yesterday in a mini festival in Dundee Scotland...they played 2 new songs other than Supermassive Black Hole.
First up Supermassive is certainly played a bit heavier live, which may help those who disliked it at first.

Supermassive Black Hole
Next song, Knights of Cydonia, immediate reaction, crap name, as well here in Ireland there is an apple soft drink called Cidona, made me think the Muse guys had chosen the wrong king to serve, though it is an extremely nice drink
The song itself I can only think of as being very Thin Lizzy like, it gave off the same feeling to me as the song Emerald does, it is epic, around 6 minutes long, and there is some very Thin Lizzyish guitar just before the end. Overall amazing song me thinks

Knights of Cydonia ver 1 (guitars and vocals more prominent in this boot)

Knights of Cydonia ver 2 (better mix and sound balance, more prominent drums)
Lastly Starlight, hmm probably the lightest feeling song Muse have put to record, even though lyrics are still dark, the song is uhh umm Coldplayish sounding i think with the way the piano and guitar are used, I know some people will hate this description, best thing I could think of, but it is like Coldplay done really really well...hell I guess you could replace Coldplay with U2 as my reference as some guitar is Edgelike, with lots of traditional Muse elements, and the synth sounds like a sound from Final Fantasy VII Bass is quite heavy in places too......It is Muse just not like anything I've heard from them before tis all...love the song once again

Starlight (There is a small skip in this, tiny though)
I think this new record will be a very divisive record in Muse's career, I think they will lose a lot of fans, those especially who only like Muse as i've heard from them for 'being heavy' (I'm not sure I would have ever caused Muse heavy though, dark certainly, rock definitely)...but i've been seeing this gradual movement away from Muse since Absolution, lots of previous Muse fans didn't like Muse trying to be epic as such....this record seems like it is going to be even more eclectic....they will probably gain as much fans as they lose though.
Enjoy anyway
