Plus, according to the Muse forums it's shite quality (mono wtf?) Here's a stereo version of Knights of Cydonia though: http://www.myspace.com/muse What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? >: 4 8 15 16 23 42 Long Live Lost LiveJournal: Latest Entry: My Political Leanings.

If with "mono" they mean "stereo" and "VBR", yes, they are right.
This is just a high-quality album. They should learn to live with the fact the album leaked. Also, the album is actually pretty good. Best Muse album so far. edit: uploading the album just so you can listen to it too. edit 2: Enjoy - http://rapidshare.de/files/22658320/....com_.rar.html Jam it back in, in the dark.

So far, I really really like this album. Assassin, Take a Bow and Exo-Politics are amazing.
I definitely know I will be buying this album [as if I wasn't going to, lmao] Most amazing jew boots |
erg, so very tempted to download that, but I think I want to wait for the actual album release. I pretty much never buy CDs, but muse is always the exception. I'll wait 'til it's out and get it on the first day and it'll be more enjoyable that way, because then I won't have the twinge of guilt for having it long before I should.
wait, why does all that sound like a parallel to sex before marriage. :'D This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I feel the same way...although when the new Kaizers Orchestra CD came out, I gave in and downloaded it/played it on infinite repeat until I got my 'official' copy. Of course, that was a different situation, because I knew it wouldn't be available in the US. But this is definitely coming, so....errm...damn. I'm so tempted. I don't know what I'm going to do. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's been 3 years since their last album, i've waited long enough so i'm downloading it. I'll download it, then buy it on the release date. Yeah sure it'll spoil the moment of putting the CD in and pressing play but right now I was tempted and I clicked that big download button. It's like 2am right now, i've just come back from Download festival so i'm gonna download it all, upload it to the mp3, sit in bed with the headphones and listen to the beauty.

Anywho, got the link from someone last night and listened to it. Not what I was expecting, but it was certainly good. Showbiz is still my favorite by them though Most amazing jew boots While everyone around me is busy drowning, I float.

I'm still gonna wait for my CD quality stereo version. I have patience for Muse.

I don't know if it's the mp3s, but the sound quality of this album sounds worse than the previous 3 albums. It sounds distorted and harsh, though that might be what they intended...
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Well i'm the most impatient person in the world, if it's for my favourite band or not. Looking at the track list, there's 5 songs I hadn't heard previously from a live version. Still, it may seem like it's cheating by downloading but i'm still gonna buy the album on the day of release which is what counts really. The quality of the torrent is pretty shite that listening to it from a CD will be like a new experience anyway =p. Well my thoughts on the album, extremely different. Not what I was expecting at all from everything that i've read about the album. It's very experimental, while the last 3 albums have had a very "live" feeling to them this one is definetely out there. It'll be interesting to see it live. Take a bow is like floating through space while singing about politics. Starlight, well not too different from the live version a little more mellow (or just a lot simpler) on the recorded version. Single material, though I hope they don't release it as a single since it's too expected. Gotta love the chorus. Supermassive Black Hole, one of the strongest tracks on the album in my opinion and it was a big change in their sound when we all got to hear it. A change meaning it's more...well dancey. Map of the Problematique, another strong track with some intense drumming going on in parts. A Soldier's Poem, it's like Unintended but it's got a "Grandad" vibe to it. Sounds like a lullaby, very simple with lots of layered vocals to make it sound that extra bit dreamy. It's short and sweet. Invincible, sounds like you're waving troops off to war. Organs, drum march, a meloncholy vibe to it. Half way through it kinda breaks out into a boppy beat, followed by a random guitar solo. Assassin, or Debase Mason's Grog as some of us may know it by. Sounds very different from the live version, faster got a more metal distortion to it. It really does sound like System of a Down I have to say. They cut out the part from the live version where it breaks down and sounds all Westerny. On the chorus there's a lot of awesome layered vocals going on, very interesting indeed. Exo-Politics is Timescale Keeper, sounds like a dance track mixed with a sci-fi backing track. I'm sure the lyrics are different too, the guitars are very clean too, i'm not sure what's the correct terminology for it but in the live version all the notes were left to ring out but on the recording version it's just cut short to give it a sharper edge. City of Delusion, one of the stand out tracks to me on first listen. Flamenco guitars, strings are very spanishy i'd say - they're amazing put it that way. It's just so diverse, come on there's trumpets in there and everything. I can picture flamenco dancing to it in the middle of the desert. Hoodoo, very dramatic echoed guitar to begin with with Matt singing "come into my life" like the voice of God. Sorrowful violins and gentle drumming enters in as you begin to sway as it builds up beautifully, then it breaks in with piano, drums, more strings and more dramatic singing. Then as it ends it slows down to match the beginning to fade into the next track. Knights of Cydonia, opens with space like effects with the sound of horses. Then breaks out into what seems to be apart of an epic western soundtrack. Lots of falsetto harmonising, trumpets galore and all the rest. A very interesting ending compared to previous albums where the album ends on a very slow track. Final opinion, it's different. I know that's a crap sum up but it really is, i'm shocked in a way that it sounds so different from what Muse have previously done. You can tell that they've been influenced heavily from the new wave of dancey type rock and also western, flamenco, italian influences. The album has a political feel to it like Absolution I might add, more so than Absolution in fact. It's a lot less rocky, there seems to be less guitars and a band feel to it and more focus on the weird wobbly bits like synths and the such. I really like the album, i'm sure when I hear a full quality version (quality whooore) I will be blown away since that'll be another experience in itself on my awesome stereo of life. But for now it's all sinking in and soon enough i'll be ranting on about how amazing it is. I just hope they don't take so fucking long with making another album because this is such a different direction in their sound i'm wondering what else they're capable of. Edit: Yup, it's sinking in and it's becoming more amazing each second I listen to =D Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Heh, exactly. I sadly do download some leaked albums of bands I love [I just can't help it], but I think in doing that, re-inforces the fact it WILL be bought by me. Plus, it's a very sentimental feeling for me to hold the album in my hands. Stupid, but it just feels better holding it rather than just having it on a computer or mp3 player. I do hope though, the album's production will be better on the final release. Even though I have the album at VBR quality, it just sounds...not LIKE vbr quality. Most amazing jew boots |
No, it's the fuckers who download a leaked advance of the album and never bother buying it, they deserve to have their kneecaps blown off they do.

I use mp3s as a sampler, if I really like what I hear I usually buy the CD.

I downloaded it.
But I'm really glad that I did. I think I'll listen to it a few times and then delete it, wait for the official release, and then rip it (in my own choice of format and quality) to my laptop for use at school. That way I'll still leave myself 'wanting more' until July 11th. Also, I'm wondering if KoC is going to have an American Radio edit or something, since it's the rumored US single. I mean, I love the instrumental intro (I think that will be *awesome* live), but for a radio song....especially in the US, I'm not so sure. I really hope that the rumors/PR is mistaken and they'll release SMBH as the US single instead. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
The quality is crap. The bass is too much and it's not crystal clear as it could be. I'm awaiting the actual release.
The album has a few weak songs, and I believe the last half of the album crumbles until KoC. Starlight and KoC sound amazing in studio. From the first hear through, I thought Invincible was the weakest song, but we'll see after each listen. But overall, I like the new sound. It's refreshing (not like they weren't refreshing to begin with). Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I love the themes of the album, it's like space politics, dance tunes and western soundtracks all blending wonderfully into one album. Hoodoo sounds like it was influenced heavily from Kill Bill and it sounds so powerful. The quality of the torrent is effecting the full listening experience, so when I get the crystal clear pre ordered copy of the album I think i'll be blown away even more than I am now. Eeee can't wait to see them at Leeds they're going to be incredible. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

So, did anyone pick up the single yet?

I've never heard a Muse song until they played on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. That Supermassive Black Hole song is very catchy.

It wasn't even a good performance. Hell, it wasn't one of their best tracks! Download New Born, Fury, Sing for Absolution, Eternally Missed, Blackout, Hysteria and Plug in Baby. That should be a good base to get ya started
