I've now listened to Madness several times. It's definitely better than anything on The Resistance.
I too have a feeling a lot of the songs on this album could be the kind that grow on you-like I said, that's not an uncommon thing with these guys. Some songs you love immediately, others it takes a few listens before you go, "Okay, yeah, this is pretty cool.
Why do you think he wasn't being serious? Is there (true, not press manufactured) bad blood there?
Yep, I suspect that may very well be the case. While I'm not in love with Madness, I didn't scream "OMG, what kind of crap is this?" I consider that promising.
I've seen comparisons to U2, Prince and George Michael, and I do hear elements of each in Madness. It could be worse.

As I said in the "now playing" thread, I cannot stop listening to "Madness". It has wormed its way into my head
Good call, bollox, I would LOVE to hear them do "The Fly" . That would kick ass.
No, actually by all accounts they seem to respect and like each other. I seem to remember hearing something once about Chris Martin being influenced by a song on one of Muse's albums, he liked the organ sound they used on it or something, and wanted a similar thing for one of Coldplay's songs. And there's video from some early festival Muse were at back in, like, 2000, I think, where Matt told the crowd to check out Coldplay at some point, 'cause they were good. I'm not sure what U2Fanatic means with that, either, but eh, well.
Also, further confirmation of the U2 vibe:

The new @muse single has completely restored my faith in British music. It's been on repeat for (literally) two days now. Buy it! Jesse
some Muse fans think his comment was a practical joke but maybe its true.. and not alot are fans of Coldplay either. ( I am though). Musers are always joking around as is the band so these things that could get posted could be fake. I think its legit tho. That's what I was getting at..
Plus, sometimes these songs sound even better live, too. I wasn't sure about the song "Invincible" when I first heard it, but then when I saw it performed live I definitely found a new appreciation for the song and now I like it.
so keane is also praising Madness..

Yes, I saw that tweet earlier.
U said that out loud? Lol referring to NSC of course.
Moonlit_Angel said:Cool! Not bad, nice to hear it in a live setting. Thanks for sharing that. What show is that supposed to be from?
(Also, shallow moment: Matt looks hot .)
I believe it was some talk show in stockholm.
