11th in Ireland so just a week away now

aphex™ · 03-09-2009 11:03pm

Off to Teignmouth in the morn, hope I don't get pissed on.

It's a bit farther than the gig in Marlay Park last year which is up the road from me but hey :rolleyes:
A full run-through of the new album is in order hopefully :pac:

From seeing them last time they were over I have to say, really not that impressed with them live. And I wanted to be. Completely flat, no rapport with the crowd or anything. You don't want a run-through of the songs as per the album when you're at a live gig. These are not the droids you're looking for. You definitely, absolutely, categorically want some rocking out, from ANY band's live performance... and especially from these guys.

Looking for a reason to want to find tickets for them in November, personally. Hoping the album is that reason.

Marlay Park was the opposite of what you said, apart from the rapport with the fans(the band hate crowd banter!). Ok starlight and invincible were a bit flat but you could tell they were really enjoying themselves here. aswell we got dead star and space dementia aswell as the extended version of Bliss.

I wasn't at the point in 06 but afaik the 06 leg of BHaR tour was awful!

Seeing some of the fan reviews of the resistance, Exogenesis is just phenomenal and unnatural selection is Citizen Erased, Megalmonia and Assassins 3-some baby!

Was there and the BHaR tour was awful for a very obvious reason.

They played the best songs from BH&R, and then the usual stomping hits....sounds good to me. Take A Bow was best intro I've ever seen at a gig. Although in saying that, it was prob the worst gig of theirs I've seen, even though it wasn't bad.

Daysha · 05-09-2009 1:17am

Set list from tonights gig in Teignmouth:

1. Uprising
2. Supermassive Black Hole
3. Stockholm Syndrome
4. Resistance
5. Hysteria
6. New Born
7. Map of the Problematique
8. United States of Eurasia
9. Cave
10. Popcorn
11. Starlight
12. Undisclosed Desire
13. Time Is Running Out
14. Unnatural Selection
15. Plug In Baby
16. Knights of Cydonia

May seem short but I heard they had a 11pm curfew, so 16 is pretty good. There should be 1 or 2 more in November.

Should tell us a lot about what to expect on the Resistance Tour though. Big Yay on sticking with MotP (thought they might drop it), and very big yay on playing Unnatural Selection which from the sounds of it will be the song of the album. Also kinda happy they dropped Feeling Good, and I won't miss Invincible too much. Surprised Resistance is there though, would've thought something like MK Ultra would be played.

Hope the lack of Butterfiles and Hurricanes isn't a permanent thing though. If they can swap that with Popcorn, add in Take a Bow to the mix and change Cave for one of the better songs off Showbiz, then it's a near perfect set list.

All my fears have been laid to rest.

Xavi6 · 05-09-2009 8:42am

Lol there's a part in that which sounds a bit too close to Abba's 'Lay All Your Love On Me' for my liking.

I was there and thought it was brilliant. 'Take A Bow' and 'Knights of Cydonia' are the perfect opener/closer combination.

Having said that, it wasn't a patch on the Absolution tour gig in the Olympia. The again, I don't think anything could come close to that.

Mushy · 05-09-2009 10:23am

I'm liking the videos of the new songs. Will be better hearing them in proper quality next week.

miralize · 05-09-2009 2:08pm

Love Unnatural Selection!!

Listening to it non-stop since last night

Daysha · 05-09-2009 3:49pm

My god that's going to be a serious tune. Only listened to it once or twice, don't want to spoil it for myself too much.

Also, some Japanese site are legally streaming the entire album from next Monday to Wednesday, so the whole thing should be available from then.

A few others from last night:

Xavi6 · 05-09-2009 5:48pm

First time I've heard 'Undisclosed Desires' and it's quality.

Rabbit Heart · 05-09-2009 7:05pm

I've only listened to Unnatural Selection once, along with Uprising and USoE thats all I've heard.
I'm gonna try hold out until Friday, when I get a copy of the album.

As mentioned before Unnatural Selection sounds great

miralize · 05-09-2009 11:22pm

loving matts keytar lol

shell022 · 06-09-2009 11:33am

Wow, loving the new songs. Roll on friday and the dublin gig. Soooo excited now that i've seen the setlist and that they've kept Motp in. Quite piossibly one of my fave songs..

+1

MOTP is awesome.

Absolutely loving Unnatural Selection, and that sounded the weakest from the 30 second previews. I knew Muse wouldnt let me down hehe

Xavi6 · 07-09-2009 10:10am

I was looking at those setlists wondering WTF this 'Popcorn' was.

Then I found this -

Amazing!

ManOfMystery · 07-09-2009 10:13am

Listened to some of the Youtube songs, awesome.

I'm raging though, I got my dates mixed up and have a wedding which I have to attend on the 6th Nov (thought it was the week after). Have to sell my dublin Muse tickets now

hmm, it was ok.. wouldn't be mad on it. just give me the originals thanks!! 2 months guys, 2 months!!!!

miralize · 07-09-2009 8:30pm

Loving muse night and undisclosed desires. Its so fresh and different

On BBC Radio 1 right now until 00:00

shell022 · 07-09-2009 9:01pm

oh i forgot about this. have it on now.. oh there playing some of there new stuff. excellent.

Daysha · 07-09-2009 9:36pm

Amazing song, absolutely brilliant.

shell022 · 07-09-2009 9:37pm

aw man this is brilliant.. sooo excited for the gig now.

Rabbit Heart · 07-09-2009 9:45pm

Muse reveal "floating cube" stage show details

Daysha · 07-09-2009 10:27pm

Just watching the highlights of the Teignmouth gig on BBCi at the moment and Undisclosed Desires just came on. It's pretty good, but doesn't have the same power or effect as the studio version.

I'm guessing the set list will be very similar for the gig in November in the 02?

The Hustler · 08-09-2009 10:19am

That's an awful, awful set list

The middle from Feeling Good to Starlight is pretty weak too I think, but it's a very solid opening and the last 4 songs are completely epic.

paul150 · 08-09-2009 8:37pm

The album is great thus far

Garseys · 08-09-2009 8:52pm

Muse board is going into lockdown at the moment, I'm suprised it didn't happen a lot sooner. oh well 2 days before official streaming is very good!

thebigcheese22 · 08-09-2009 8:55pm

Just listened to a new song there on Paul McLoone and I really didn't like it. The start sounded a bit like a ****ty pop song from Timbaland or something! Don't think I will enjoy the new album at all at all, especially since I despise Queen, and thus far the album sounds like it could be a Queen dedication with a bit of Depeche Mode thrown in.... :mad:

aphex™ · 08-09-2009 9:48pm

Many of the songs change quite a bit in several places.. interesting

The Hustler · 08-09-2009 11:25pm

Albums been leaked in full

Perfect quality, im f*cking hooked

Garseys · 09-09-2009 8:39am

Exogenesis......Honestly, the best thing muse have did in their entire careers

Actually you could probably sum up the album that way...

I belong to you had me in stitches!

BleakestH · 09-09-2009 10:33am

This album is pretty great. Like it more than Black Holes already.

miralize · 09-09-2009 10:40am

Epic album. Listening to it for the 5th time right now. Its so varied

stiofain2005 · 09-09-2009 11:17am

Was really worried about the album beforehand after hearing uprising and USOE but im really liking the album. Uprising has even grown on me.
Just about to listen to Exogenisis now.

Xavi6 · 09-09-2009 11:28am

Got it, and I'm very, very happy

ManOfMystery · 09-09-2009 11:58am

Just listening to album myself now. Exogenesis is suitably epic, as predicted, but my personal faves are Unnatural Selection and USOE.

Futurism · 09-09-2009 3:37pm

Downloading the album now. I log off the muse boards for a week and there's tons of new live stuff and songs everywhere. :eek:

Love the songs released so far and 30 second clips are pretty good too.

Patricide · 09-09-2009 4:03pm

Listened to this album there, really hugely disappointed. First muse album I heard that I didnt like.

Garseys · 09-09-2009 8:18pm

NME have stopped bumming the band 6/10....

Daysha · 09-09-2009 9:12pm

Yup, it's a fantastic album. But I've only had about 3 solid listens since I got it late last night and I still think it needs another few hours before I start thinking where it ranks with their previous albums.

It's weird how different some of the songs sound when you compare it to just the 30 second previews though. I was sure Resistance wouldn't really be for me, but it's fast becoming my favourite song on the album, something I was nearly sure was going to be MK Ultra. But while it's still a great song, I don't know if I like that dark, middle section.

Unnatural Selection is as good as I expected it to be, Guiding Light is a lot better than I expected it to be too, it's like the song Invincible should have been.

I like I belong to you, It's just such a muse taking the piss song. also I think its the first song that self references them and other songs.

the clarinet solo had me in stitches for a few minutes! also matt's french singing
