    Starts at 8:30, the Muse tribute band are on first, sometime between 9 and 9:30pm. €5 in.


    (To avoid complications; I'm in the band.)

    Thought i'd resurrect this thread, first song from the new album out:





    Lyrics are cringeworthy even by Muse standards. Also recycling a riff they have been playing live for years. Hope there's better to come.

    Gonna be a massive song live but yes I think those lyrics are pretty bad. Still though, much better than T2L & The Resistance

    Much better? It sounds like those albums all played within a song. Pretty similar fare to be honest. If Bill Bailey ever did those 'Muse in 1 riff' gags, the riff in this song would be pretty much it.

    Rock AM 2004. Same riff they start playing at 5m30s.

    I'm not getting my hopes up about this album....

    Not getting the criticism

    Fair enough that riff has been knocking around for nearly 10 years but it's absolutely MONSTER

    I've always hoped they'd do something with it and they have

    It's absolutely brilliant- I can't knock it whatsoever.

    Everyone moaning about the 2nd Law and clamouring for the band to return to their roots and they have- that tune could easily follow Hyper Music, Plug In Baby, Citizen Erased and Micro Cuts.

    It's gigantic

    Weird statement. How is it the same stuff hashed out again and again? Even with the last album there was about five or six different genres referenced within the songs. Madness was completely different to anything they've done before. Obviously their signature is the classic monster riff but to say they do that on repeat is wide of the mark.

    Fury and Uno played in Belfast last night! Was anyone here at it? I didn't even know they were playing until yesterday.

    Yep! And it was godly. Agitated & Hyper Music too. And the new song "Reapers" is quintessential Muse, really excited to hear the album version of it.

    There's no pleasing some people.

    They clamour for years for the band to move away from the bombastic, synthy self-indulgent bollocks- and the first 2 tracks we've heard from this new album are guitar-driven rock behemoths- yet they still piss and moan.......

    It is possible to want to them to go back closer to the style that they used to have, but not like what they've done with it.

    Exactly. Playing a certain type of music (heavy, bombastic, guitar driven, etc whatever the buzz words are) does not designate quality. The quality in Muse's case has been and still is sadly very much lacking. It's actually quite strange to see their music like this because they always seemed the old reliable's up until a few albums ago. Will still listen to the new album and hope there's something redeeming there though.

    Do you think you'd feel the same if the riff they've used hadn't be knocking round for years?

    Of course I would, I've no idea why that was brought into it?? I don't think it's a good Muse song, or song in general really, that's what it comes down to. It's not just about changing the type of music, it's about quality. I could care less if they change from synth or guitar driven or vice versa. Soem bands can change style seamlessly. It's actually a poorer show that they have guitar driven songs back, that they used to do good, and it's still pretty damn poor. Some people may like it and be happy with it, fair enough :)

    I'm just relieved there's no more dubstep or synths! :)

    It's basically 'Uprising' with a recycled riff. I can't understand why anyone would compare this to OOS or anything of that era. To me there is no comparison.

    That is a phenomenal set

    I expect Showbiz and OOS classics like Uno, Cave, Fillip and Hyper Music to get rotated on set during the summer

    After a few listens I really like Dead Inside but christ those lyrics are absolutely awful. Then again I don't think anybody listens to Muse for the lyrics.

    The lyrics from showbiz to Absolution were amazing. The benefits of hallucinogens I guess.

    Video isn't working.
    I watched them Live at Norich last night (on tv!)
    Thought they could have played longer than they did though.
    Think 'Mercy' will grow on me.
