To what are you listening?

I listen to so, so, so much... but to represent my forum-name, I would of course choose:

The definiton of Disturbed: Never ever have they made a bad song, not in the past, not in the present, and to clarify; it will never happen.

That's my truth, and nothing you say will change that  , sorry.

This is probably one of the best live performances I've seen in a long time.

Speaking as resident Muse fanboy, I'm confused why they threw Madness all over the place while Supremacy and Panic Station are far superior. I understand that they were going more for the popular market, but there was better stuff on the album. This video for Supremacy doesn't really add anything though. I'm hoping they release an actual video like they did for Madness.

Supremacy and Panic Station are far superior. That is a fact. The transition from the first orchestral section to the intro riff again is fucking balls (I think he really nailed the shrill vocals there, too) and goddamn I love me some brass.

I dislike a lot of his vocals on Panic Station, but not enough to detract from the overall song.

shut up it's a good song

[pacdiggity]

I dislike a lot of his vocals on Panic Station, but not enough to detract from the overall song.

I'm inclined to concur a bit. It seems as though he goes a bit out of tune at some points during the verses. Some of the little licks at the end of the verse lines seem a bit pointless. He also alternates between falsetto and belting during the chorus; I don't mind this, I kinda like it, but I understand why someone might dislike it.

The video sucks

So does the mixing.

SEVERE LACK OF MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA IN THIS THREAD

I think if they were going for the popular market, they would have pushed Follow Me more than anything else on that album.

[SirJackRex]

Nope, Follow Me doesn't have enough "Ho" and "Hey" being chanted to be popular nowadays. (I unapologetically wrote this as I listened to "Take a Walk")

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it. The falsetto and belting are an odd contrast. Sometimes it sounds as if he wants to scream like he would've on OoS but he wants to also remain technically proficient. It's a weird mix of trying to sound skilled and boisterous. It sounds a bit forced.
In regards to the emboldened section: The tremolo echo thing?

This was literally uploaded earlier today. I think I prefer the lyric video.

Madness seems to be more like poppy crap because there's nothing all that interesting in it. Follow Me has contrasting sections, which makes it confusing if you're dancing in a club like a simpleton (i.e., with no regard to the music ). However, WUBWUBWUBWUB. So I guess you're right. But it does seem as though they've made one more popular song on each of their albums since Absolution - Time is Running Out, Starlight, Undisclosed Desires (maybe, unsure of this one), Madness. Closest thing to that on OoS is Plug in Baby, and in Showbiz probably Fillip. But now I'm just rambling. Also Showbiz is fucking brilliant.

In regards to the emboldened section: The tremolo echo thing?

It's not always an echo, but yeah. It would've been cool if he didn't do it in the first verse, to add something to the later verses, but whatever. It's not my decision. I don't like criticising Matt's compositional decisions so much because I love him and I'm supposed to be a fanboy.

[Malson]

I'd vote Muscle Museum. That was the first Muse song I ever knew anything about.

[Fall From Eden]

[yt]XVHkO_uT95E[/yt]

I listen to this song way too much.

Seriously. I demolished the repeat button just looking it up on YouTube.

Edit: I may or may not have also played it again after posting this.

[pacdiggity]

Now that I think about it, all the tracks on Showbiz are too good to be considered 'popular-styled' at all. Whatever.

I'm not sure if you got this Malson, not that it matters, but I was, somewhat ambiguously, using 'popular' to refer to the style of more mainstream music, not the actual popularity of the song. The two, of course, do correlate.

Nah, that went right over my head.

That's officially a decade old now .-.

[EvilM00s]

I'm officially 3.5 decades old now.

[Jules]

I guess that makes me 3.8


I am reminded of a quote : "Age is an issue of mind over matter.  If you don't mind, it don't matter"

[EvilM00s]

Welp, I still act young, so I guess I'm doing pretty good!

[Jules]

Me too!  We rock

First 10/10 album I've heard in a long time. Almost 20 years old too, I'll upload it for you guys if you want.

[SirJackRex]

That's really good. I'd appreciate it, man.

[Dark_Metamorphosis]

A band that has been going on repeat alot since 2010, is one of my friend's band called Solitude:

They kick the genre in the nuts and show everyone how It's supposed to be!

Awesomeness? - Check!
