Muse Cont'd.....

[phanan]

Now I need to listen to Origin Of Symmetry, from which I've only heard Citizen Erased. That one rocks, so it's off to a good start.

I had New Born on my DI4 playlist, if you recall.

 

[Saracene]

According to muselive.com, there's a possibility of the new album coming out in September with the tour kicking off in October

Origin of Symmetry is the Holy Grail for many hardcore Muse fans. I think it's got three genuine classics (Newborn, Plug in Baby, Bliss), two very good songs (Citizen Erased, Feeling Good), while the rest ranges from okay to unlistenable (Microcuts). IMO if Showbiz was their baby album OOS is their adolescent.

Matt said some nice stuff about U2 in the past as well... he called them one of the best live acts today in an interview I've read.

[Total U2 Nut]

just got the Wembley DVD.

I watched it for the first time in a few months yesterday I love that Muse can still win best live band, when they're not even touring Very exciting, hearing talk of this new album, I'm going to have to start saving for tours My bank balance is crying at the though haha, oh well.

 

[Ava79]

Oh please please let these rumours of a new album and a tour be true. Please.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

yup, still praying and praying that these rumors are true...

 

[Saracene]

I love that Muse can still win best live band, when they're not even touring

They should just rename that award in their honour or something

YouTube - MUSE RECORDING NEW ALBUM 2 I just saw this An album opener, to be sure

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

omg! they are such jokesters..

 

[Saracene]

Is that Time is Running Out Part II they're recording?

Speaking of which, I never get tired of this:

YouTube - Matt Bellamy Dancing

What cracks me up the most is how dead serious he looks during the whole thing

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

^my absolute fav vid clip of matt at his best... and I never get tired of watching it either.

Woefully late to the party here. I am a scavenger at used record shops, but I haven't seen any since last summer when I didn't care enough. I listen to a radio station here in Philly that plays the hell out of "Time is Running Out," "Knights of Cydonia," and "Starlight" and I'll be damned if I haven't enjoyed it. I just hate coming new to a band that has more than one or two albums because it means I will inevitably have to buy all of them. With that said, where should I start? I've thought about picking up HAARP and moving backwards as songs guide me, but that feels wrong.

I'd say either Absolution or Origin of Symmetry personally, but if you've been liking the recent tracks, get Black Holes.

I'd say wait on HAARP personally. If anything, I'd buy all 3 of the albums I mentioned before picking it up.

Yeah, I played that all of once.

 

[u2popmofo]

Yeah, I played that all of once.

I don't even know if I got through it that many times.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I don't even know if I got through it that many times.

I played it really loud all the way through once as an act of revenge against my neighbors. Yeah, I'm like that.

 

[u2popmofo]

They're fantastic in concert, and the DVD is awesome, but listening to the live CD was ultra boring for me.

At some point I just need to completely stop buying live DVDs, as I either watch them once and never again, or never even watch the entire thing. I've still never made it all the way through the Vertigo DVD, the Radiohead Bends era concert DVD, and the Muse DVDs (I have a couple). I've never even watched the Slane Elevation DVD, a Death Cab DVD I have, Low DVD, Mogwai bonus DVD, Pet Sounds DVD, Lonely Island DVD, and a couple other bonus "deluxe edition" DVDs. Pretty pointless that I even buy them.

I agree. Live DVDs were only good when I used to smoke weed, lol.

Except for Sigur Ros, Radiohead & U2. I will always buy and watch those. And I'll get the damn Wilco thing when it comes out and watch it on my friend's ginormous plasma.

Seconded on Absolution. That was my first album & I got sucked in. The piano concerto in Butterflies in Hurricanes :

 

[u2popmofo]

Yeah, "used to".

 

[joyfulgirl]

Yeah, "used to".

Yeah, you read that right. Thanks for your support.

I'd say Black Holes & Revelations and Absolution.

I gotta say that HAARP DVD is the only DVD in my collection that I can watch over and over from start to finish. Everything else I've got (including countless U2 DVDs) I can only watch in small doses before I get restless and fidgety. The only time I feel a bit impatient with HAARP is during Unintended, which is at least saved by the nice visuals.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Muse get classical on fifth album

 

[adrball]

Muse's new studio album could see them move away from their traditional rock sound to create a more "orchestral", classical offering.

I always had them down as orchestral/classical in nature anyway.

Frontman Matt Bellamy said: "There's some really brilliant songs coming out, some of our best material I think."

So Matt Bellamy is now doing Bono impersonations?
