Dominic Howard is a killer drummer yet so underrated. I won't be surprised if their next album is a full metal album. But whatever you want, Muse. Even if it's a jazz album, I'll be happy... won't take it for granted. As long as you're still here together and healthy....
@@dsxndoval I won't spend much time complaining about my faves after my most fave musician died years ago. It's really devastating even to date because he had to deal with health problem and mass bullying for years and years. The later led to his death as a broken soul. He also didn't release many albums. It took him around 4-6 years to release one. So I feel lucky Muse have released 9 albums so far. They have their ups and downs just like other human being but seeing them still making whatever music they want with original line up, healthy and enjoy performing live, anything else is not worth to be complained about. Not all bands/solo artists on this planet could survive this long like them.
bless you buddy.. I used to dislike some of their albums too and wish they make music like their old songs. and then I came across a comment that has similar connotation to yours. since then I changed my mind. the fact that muse has been together more than 20 years and also actively make music, we should appreciate them at this point. I had similar experience to yours when my fave disband, members left etc. all I want is new music but that didn't happen often 😢
You can hear Origin of Symmetry and Absolution on its solos, Black holes & revelations and Simulation theory on its chorus, and of course it’s own mark registered by WOTP, dear Muse you saved me in depression times..
@@guts9160 TSP, Thoughts of a Dying Atheist, New Born, Darkshines, Stockholm Syndrome, Fury, Space Dementia, Butterflies & Hurricanes, probably forgetting a few more... lots of solos!
The song amazes me but what amazes me even more is how close the live version sounds to the studio mix. These guys are amazing live. That cannot be understated!
@@JClay88 Some things sound better live, but I can actually hear what Matt's playing and the background vocals here, unlike the current live performances.
What I love about Muse is how diverse their discography is. I do prefer the heavier side but I always end up enjoying pretty much everything they release with a few exceptions. Big fan for 14 years now and I feel like I’ll always like Muse. This is the best Muse song in like a decade or so.
Yes great song, you got great talent and diversity keep going in this direction and nothing can stop you brothers. Can't wait to hear what comes from you next, also your an extremely good guitarist , your shining through love your style hit some fast scales and you'll be unstoppable haha. Well good luck on future projects projects, Stay safe and never stop jammin .
- The Handler for the intro - Hyper Music for the main riff - Reapers (the scream on "kill or be killed lyrics reminds me a lot of "Here come the drones" lyrics) - Map Of The Problematique / Resistance on the pre-chorus (drums, background atmosphere) - Blockades for the chorus (vocals) - Mercy / Stockholm Syndrome (synth) - Break It To Me (phrygian rythm before the solo) - Psycho for the break ( it's remind me the loud guitar) - New Born (solo) Yeah, probably the best Muse song.

The heart of this song is the drums, that rhythm and sound of Dom is surprising, this album has something different in its favor that differentiates it from the rest, and of which I am sure it will end up being one of the 4 best albums. I feel that each song is a fusion of an album, for example KOBK is easily absolution/OOS the voice and Synth are a BHAR.
@@rlyehdate imo algorithm wasnt even the best song in that album, break it to me, pressure and blockades being my favourites, in the end its all opinions
I enjoyed WSD and Compliance, but this track is what old school Muse fans have been waiting for. Easily one of their best since BH&R, you can hear their early influences combined with a more modern, "polished" sound.
I agree! This is the most MUSE thing I've heard in years, yet still fresh! Not to say I've disliked anything in recent years, but this, this is awesome!
I have to be honest I haven't liked the other singles from this album at all. But this one is definitely old school type Muse and I immediately liked it. It's just a little heavier but great.
@MW The lyrics and music is definitely their old style, you don't have any proof that they don't write their own music or lyrics, you're thinking of pop bands...
As a classical music lover and fan of muse, I found a cool thing about this song. The second theme in the first movement of Tchaikovsky's symphony number 5 and the chorus of KOBK are sounds similar, more specifically that cool chord progression are very similar. And it adds some classic muse song nostelgia like muse's old albums(space dimentia-rachmaninoff reference).
other examples are Exogenesis Symphony pt.2 with Chopin's etude, Hodoo with Tchaikovsky's piano concertó no.1 , Interlude with Samuel Barber- Adagio for strings and the list continues
I am a simple guy I see New Muse I click it , I listen 5,000 times, I listen some more. Then I share to those who have no clue how freaking awesome these guys are.
I was totally NOT expecting this album or this song! I thought my Muse days were over but here I am age 45 sat in my Muse T-shirt watching your videos, getting goosebumps 😂 Thank you for coming back to me when I need it most ❤🩹 This song fucking rocks!!
Lol Helen, at my 28 years old, since 2004 when I was 10 and I discovered Muse, I never thought I could still listening every day and enjoying so much every new album, they are really hard workers of the music
Love this direction they are going. I've always liked Muse but as a lover of metal I'm really liking them now. Can't wait to hear the new album. Side note: Holy crap I didn't expect that bridge heavy riff and the tapping guitar solo. Epic!
This is Tier 1 Muse. It feels like over 10 years since I've gotten to listen to a Muse song that has mega shades of their early work. God bless them for resuscitating this part of their sound. I've been starving for it! Such a beautiful yet modern throwback to the days of Bliss, Glorious, those filthy riffs from origins and showbiz and absolution. This brings me such joy! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I really cannot wait for their new album to come out in August. Matt Bellamy's guitar solo from 3:20 to 3:33 is just absolutely insane. What a record! Possibly my favourite since Knights of Cydonia came out.
It’s been 15 years since I realized Muse was cut from a different cloth. They’ve continued impressing me in everything they’ve done ever since - this feels like the gorgeous sequel to Stockholm Syndrome I never knew I needed. Thanks Muse for all the amazing hours spent enjoying your art 🏆
If you're always looking for someone thing heavier. A really good band called Erra did a cover of stockholm Syndrome th-cam.com/video/ctPGxAfevgA/w-d-xo.html
Muse is the only band where I can look at any of their songs and say, "not bad" I don't think any of their songs are inherintly bad, I get tired of some, but they have so many songs I like that I can just switch to some other song to keep it fresh.
@@Tulip_bip I don't love all Muse songs, although it's without the slightest doubt, my favourite band of all time. Do we really have to love every song to be real Muse fans? I love 8 out of 10 songs on the new album btw. Slightly more than the last 4-5 albums :)
I want more songs like THESE! It fits in the sound of Origin of Symmetry (best album) and Absolution with a bit of Black Holes and Drones as well. This song is in my Top10--all-time-Muse-songs.
They've said that the new album will be a kind of 'Greatest Hits' album, but instead of rehashing existing songs, they're revisiting various styles they've tried over the years and making new songs for them. I'd say this song is very true to that mission statement.
I am usually a voice/guitar guy and that's how I noticed Muse, but this drummer absolutely kills it!!! I'm sure he is going to be on the "Wall Of Fame" as one of the greatest 🤟 I think I finally found my most favorite band since 24 of November 1999... Thank you!
Ive been on youtube for years and never commented on anything. Muse were my first obsession, they were my first ever gig, when i was 10 at a bar in wolverhampton just before showbiz was released. From then on i was obsessed, muse were the band that got me through family suicides, social isolation and everything else that came with growing up. I was an obsessive, when they hit it big it felt like a part of me was there with them, i couldnt have been prouder of matt, dom and chris (i even tried to fake back stage passes to their earls cort show when i was 14, but lost my nerve to use them!). In time i fell away from them. But this track has just ignited something. Its hit a nerve and im officially back on the wagon. I feel 17 again. Thank you.
Amazing track. Whats amazing is that most groups go from their style to something more commercial nowadays.. Muse did the opposite. Back to their origins with heavy riffs and added growls and beast solo on guitar.. hot damn.. super proud to be a Muse fan on 2022. You are killing it guys.
I discovered Muse when i was 10 with New Born. Instantanly fall in love with the band but growing up my tastes in music evolved and i feel they took a different path that i would love them to take…now after almost 20 years i’m starting to feel this connexion one more time especialy with this BANGER!!! ♥️
@@MrTiJackSH key word 'imo' (in my opinion). These are also amazing solos but in terms of technique and musicality, this one is one of the best he has come up with
1. Take A Bow 2. Space Dementia 3. Butterflies And Hurricanes 4. Knights Of Cydonia 5. Glorious 6. Kill Or Be Killed 7. Citizen Erased 8. The Globalist 9. Animals 10. Stockholm Syndrome Just my opinion
Not many bands can introduce elements of other genres into their music and still stay true to "their sound." The last band I saw do this so smoothly was Thrice. This is excellent.
I think there is nothing "new" in the style of this song. Don't get me wrong, it's a completely new piece on it's own, but it contains a lot of older heavier muse :) love it
I was a huge Muse fan in 00's as a teen, then somehow I forgot about their music for years I really have no idea why! And then this year randomly I thought about my favourite Muse's songs and get lost in their music once again. It feels like coming back home to a good ol' friend. Good to be back musers! I love the new album.
You forgot them because your personality simply outgrown their music. While there is a point of looking backwards to your former-self, there is really no reason to keep it or even cultivate.
Origin of Symmetry, Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations all rolled into one - strongest song on the album for me, absolutely. The others are just a bit too poppy for my taste, but the direction for this album means that there's something for everyone. Wonderful
This is the ULTIMATE Muse song!! I can hear sounds from every album, as well as the new one that's a bit harder like Won't stand down!!! This sounds like heaven and it's full of nostalgia but also of energy!!!!! Can't wait to hear this live, hopefully next year or something !! Muse, we're all waiting for a European tour (an affordable one😂)🇧🇪🖤🌈
@@mattymurdo4134 you have no idea how many people would disagree with that. They're a very powerful live band and I hope more and more people see what I see in them.
It's amazing how recognizable y'all's sound is. A lot of people play the same instruments but no one sounds like you guys, no one does what y'all do, I could have heard this as a new song somewhere not knowing for certain the title or who sang it, and yet feel sure it was Muse based solely on the sound and vibe. I love it, you guys are so uniquely you and so audibly recognizable 🙂 Dom's drumming in this is incredible and as always Matt's voice, overall everyone does great though ❤️ There's so much power in playing, the sound has perfect timing. I can tell y'all put in a lot of effort. It's so fun to see the sound evolve, there's recognizable remnants from past albums. It's a testament that the art changes with its creator. I can't wait to see where it goes next and to enjoy this whole album as always in the meantime 😃 love you guys! ❤️
I've been off the muse train since the black holes and revelations album tour. I drifted into metal and couldn't turn back. They still sound incredible. I will always obsess over the first 3 albums. Just perfection for me. Everything you could want from one band and so much variety. Genius.
Dear Muse, in my deepest heart, I always pray that you will held an Asia World Tour, especially in Jakarta, Indonesia. I hope that you will come here 😭 We miss you so much, Muse! ❤
Got the chance to hear the song live at Rock am Ring a few weeks ago, I believe we were one of the first to listen to the song like offically. Not a hardcore muse Fan but this one is amazing
My grandma and I were very close growing up, she and my poppa were like a second parents to me growing up, and she got all of my family into muse years ago and we’ve been hooked since. We would try to go to as many of muse’s concerts as we could, simulation theory was the last one we all made it too last year, before she passed very suddenly, and idk why, but I haven’t been able to cry since or really deal with it properly. This is the first muse song I’ve been able to listen since, and I can’t stop crying since, and I just wanna say thank you so much, for being able to give me this catharsis, I miss her so much ❤️, I know the odds of this really being seen by anyone are slim but, I Just feel like I need to leave this here regardless
@@rafaelmtoledo bruh, i just said its one of the best songs of Muse in MY HUMBLE OPINION but i guess im wrong, ill correct my opinion and thoughts because such an expert as yourself has shown me the light Thank you so much :D
@@rafaelmtoledo Greetings m'lord. Thank you for gracing us with your infallible, objective musical taste. Truly we are _blessed_ In all seriousness, pull your head out ya arse. Music is subjective. People enjoy different things. You are not correct. Neither is @JORGUL . No one is "correct" in terms of musical taste tldr: get off your high horse silly *bonk* :3
Imagine Muse is a person, an unemployed one, seeking for a job, and this song is their resume. Stockholm Syndrome-ish intro, the Broadway style verse is taking my soul to an another universe, really a catharsis like The Globalist or USOE in the beginning, hit something in my soul. And the chorus is straight out of BHAR. Wow.
This...this might just be the greatest song you guys have ever created. I have listened to it over a dozen times in the past hour I think. Words cannot describe my love for this song, thank you so much! I can't wait for the full album!
Man. I've been goin thru some real deep sh*z this year... Literally spent the last 2 hours going through my late grandma's clothes (she passed away in January from COVID), and that ain't even the half of it. Anyway, this MASTERPIECE---I'm at a loss for words. I can hear so many aspects of Muse that I have loved so dearly, and really hoped to hear on the new album. Thank you, Muse, for continuously sharing the products of your hard work & talent! Life sucks sometimes but these are the moments I live for 🖤🤟

ITS SO GOOD
After this, is there another track in a heavy album?
Best song on the album so far
This song rules!
Awesome! Can't wait to hear the whole album!
“KILL OR BE KILLED”
Cornered, I’m exhausted with fear
Our love and compassion dissolved
And demons, have materialised in me
Can’t fight them, they’re taking control
And we’ve tried, oh we’ve tried so hard to be good
But the world rewards us when we’re bad
Fate, is driving me insane
It’s forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
They’ve driven a stake right through my heart
I’m growing so cold and detached
And I’ve tried, oh I’ve tried so hard to spread love
But she prefers it when I assert control
Fate has brought us here to face
Our hopes and dreams erased
Either kill or be killed
Yah, Yah Yah Yah, Yah Yahweh Yah Yahweh Yah Yah Yah
Yah Yah Yah
Ah Eh Yah Yah
Yah Yah Yah
Kill or be killed
War
Kill or be killed
Yaaahhh
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah
Either kill or be killed
Fate, is driving me insane
It’s forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Seeeeeeeeeeeeeee ✨
love y'all
The fact you included the ‘Yah Yah Yah Yahweh’ is gold 😂💙

Same here. New born is top 5 for sure. This blew me away for sure not expecting this! Stainds new single after 12 years also blew me away!
Decade - Follow Me, Psycho, Mercy were almost great. They're just doing this heavy style now because they can and its something different 😂
INCREDIBLE!!
Since they released showbiz here in france. Some exceptions too, but the only band I can say I really love more than 4 of their albums integrally.
They managed to blend all of their signature sounds in one song.
This is probably the most Muse song Muse has ever done.
- The Handler for the intro
- Hyper Music for the main riff
- Reapers (the scream on "kill or be killed lyrics reminds me a lot of "Here come the drones" lyrics)
- Map Of The Problematique / Resistance on the pre-chorus (drums, background atmosphere)
- Blockades for the chorus (vocals)
- Mercy / Stockholm Syndrome (synth)
- Break It To Me (phrygian rythm before the solo)
- Psycho for the break ( it's remind me the loud guitar)
- New Born (solo)
Yeah, probably the best Muse song.

Its not about the metal only harmonically, the verse is the best piece of music they've done in years,the energy and things to unpack is there
Bliss + Stockholm's Syndrome + metal = this song.
Please make a classical metal album, Muse.
They’re back.

Agreed! 100% I love making people who don’t listen to them, listen to them
@@theartistjonnorris2265 we are unspoken heros and anyone eles who does this 😆 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I second that 👍👍
I was totally NOT expecting this album or this song! I thought my Muse days were over but here I am age 45 sat in my Muse T-shirt watching your videos, getting goosebumps 😂 Thank you for coming back to me when I need it most ❤🩹 This song fucking rocks!!
I'm 65 and very impressed with this new record. I bought three copies one to save one to play and the CD for my car.
44, and totally agree
I’m 48, oh and that rift in the middle…..👌😍🤩
yo 54
Lol Helen, at my 28 years old, since 2004 when I was 10 and I discovered Muse, I never thought I could still listening every day and enjoying so much every new album, they are really hard workers of the music
Love this direction they are going. I've always liked Muse but as a lover of metal I'm really liking them now. Can't wait to hear the new album. Side note: Holy crap I didn't expect that bridge heavy riff and the tapping guitar solo. Epic!
How about the growl
@@siyabongasithole9566 Indeed!
That is typical Muse🥰 but close my eyes and suddenly imagining Korn and Slipknot with this sound🤟🤘
This is so good but you must hear "Whispering Wolf" or "The Wave" by SLT 🤘🐺🤘
muse or be mused
Rather to be Amused
😂
Ça m’amuse ! That works in french ! I m out 😂
Comment or be commented
I find this amusing lol
This is Tier 1 Muse. It feels like over 10 years since I've gotten to listen to a Muse song that has mega shades of their early work. God bless them for resuscitating this part of their sound. I've been starving for it! Such a beautiful yet modern throwback to the days of Bliss, Glorious, those filthy riffs from origins and showbiz and absolution. This brings me such joy! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Assassin for me
Assassin for me
@@hixxy220Muse absolutely, and there are some drum fills to back that up also
i love how it isnt exactly like their old stuff, just feels like it. they went back to their older styles while adding newer things onto it
Muse is da best 🤘but you must hear “Seen/Unseen” by SLT 🔥🔥🔥
That’s my daughter in the crowd at 3:31! 🤟🏻❤️ Loving the new album and can’t wait to see our boys from Teignmouth perform at Plymouth in May 🤟🏻🤟🏻
You're so cool
Her face is all our reactions to that kickass solo!
That tapping in the solo, it's amazing, this song is muse in their perfect expression
I really cannot wait for their new album to come out in August. Matt Bellamy's guitar solo from 3:20 to 3:33 is just absolutely insane. What a record! Possibly my favourite since Knights of Cydonia came out.
*Guitar solo. And yes the best solo in many a year. Wish he'd let rip like that more often.
@@chriscolyer2579 While I appreciate your comment. Was there really any need to correct what I said E.G. Guitar rift instead of guitar solo?
Ahhhh yes! I think this song is going to have such an impact live just like KOC.
It’s been 15 years since I realized Muse was cut from a different cloth. They’ve continued impressing me in everything they’ve done ever since - this feels like the gorgeous sequel to Stockholm Syndrome I never knew I needed. Thanks Muse for all the amazing hours spent enjoying your art 🏆
Absolutely. Stockholm syndrome part 2
19 for me and you took the words out of my mouth 🙏
If you're always looking for someone thing heavier. A really good band called Erra did a cover of stockholm Syndrome

I love this song but im disappointed for the rest of this album. i didnt think it would come out that... bland.
Muse is the only band where I can look at any of their songs and say, "not bad" I don't think any of their songs are inherintly bad, I get tired of some, but they have so many songs I like that I can just switch to some other song to keep it fresh.
I completely agree, I think it's the best thing about their discography
I love that they don't care what the people want, they just go with what they want to create at the moment.
i feel like im the only muse fan that loves every single song lmao. they're such a polarising band cuz theyre not afraid to try new things constantly
@@Tulip_bip I don't love all Muse songs, although it's without the slightest doubt, my favourite band of all time. Do we really have to love every song to be real Muse fans?
I love 8 out of 10 songs on the new album btw. Slightly more than the last 4-5 albums :)
Same, Muse is the only band I like so many songs from, even if I may get bored from them often
I want more songs like THESE! It fits in the sound of Origin of Symmetry (best album) and Absolution with a bit of Black Holes and Drones as well. This song is in my Top10--all-time-Muse-songs.
I understand Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, & Black Holes are they best albums, but Drones is meh. This song is great but the unecessary metal.
@@andibensisva2155 I knew I couldn't be the only one who finds their attempts at metal really corny
@@andibensisva2155 the begining sounds like the handler
It's just amazing!
They've said that the new album will be a kind of 'Greatest Hits' album, but instead of rehashing existing songs, they're revisiting various styles they've tried over the years and making new songs for them. I'd say this song is very true to that mission statement.
This song is one of the best produced by Muse over the years.
The “Will of the People” album appears to be a masterpiece 🔥❤️🔥
th-cam.com/video/4CfhYWvYrFI/w-d-xo.html
best since bhar possibly but i dont like will of the people the song
the songs are all rip offs lmao
@@mrbungle3310 the resistance is by far the most accomplished album, people sleep on it way too much
@@mtrps_ Wait of what? A different band
I think that we have a new classic Muse track, probably their best song in years!
Sounds amazing and combines all that we love from the band.
I am usually a voice/guitar guy and that's how I noticed Muse, but this drummer absolutely kills it!!! I'm sure he is going to be on the "Wall Of Fame" as one of the greatest 🤟 I think I finally found my most favorite band since 24 of November 1999... Thank you!
2:58 goosebumps. Nothing but goosebumps
was going to comment this
Nothing like waking up on my birthday to a new Muse song, as a muse and metal fan, this song is just perfect.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday 🎂!
Live long and prosper!
This is so good but you must hear "Whispering Wolf" or "The Wave" by SLT 🤘🐺🤘
Had the privilege to listen to this, LIVE, before it came out, at Firenze Rocks this June. Lost my mind the whole 5 minutes, such an awesome track
Same here, and I felt privileged. Love from Italy❤️
@@SP-if2nj saluti dalla Sicilia :D
i love muse because they have music for everyone. from alternative, to rock, to pop, to electronic, to literal heavy metal!
Both Mike Portnoy & Kirk Hammet like Muse!
The fuck is literal heavy metal? Can you play heavy metal FIGURATIVELY? Dumbass.
It’s one of their best song since a long time. This album smells very good. Enjoy everyone !
It smells amazing
It do be smelling good
Disagree. This has been the best one so far lol.
Drones is better album ever
@@pietrozucca3205 I think not
Best song of the new album so far. The good old Muse
Ive been on youtube for years and never commented on anything. Muse were my first obsession, they were my first ever gig, when i was 10 at a bar in wolverhampton just before showbiz was released. From then on i was obsessed, muse were the band that got me through family suicides, social isolation and everything else that came with growing up. I was an obsessive, when they hit it big it felt like a part of me was there with them, i couldnt have been prouder of matt, dom and chris (i even tried to fake back stage passes to their earls cort show when i was 14, but lost my nerve to use them!).
In time i fell away from them. But this track has just ignited something. Its hit a nerve and im officially back on the wagon. I feel 17 again. Thank you.
Good on you darlin’ ❤
Amazing track. Whats amazing is that most groups go from their style to something more commercial nowadays.. Muse did the opposite. Back to their origins with heavy riffs and added growls and beast solo on guitar.. hot damn.. super proud to be a Muse fan on 2022. You are killing it guys.
This is the only good thing in my life right now. Thank you Muse
I discovered Muse when i was 10 with New Born. Instantanly fall in love with the band but growing up my tastes in music evolved and i feel they took a different path that i would love them to take…now after almost 20 years i’m starting to feel this connexion one more time especialy with this BANGER!!! ♥️
Same, at the end of the movie High Tension, New Born played and I had to find out who the heck created such a haunting sound. Been a fan ever since.
Muse is da best 🤘but you must hear “Seen/Unseen” by SLT 🔥🔥🔥🎧
This is so good but you must hear "Whispering Wolf" or "The Wave" by SLT 🤘🐺
This is what we have been missing about Muse ! This is definitely back to the awesome Muse sound.
This song reminds me of Assasin combined with Stocholm Syndrome & Psycho. The heavy Muse still exists!
Imagine being this lucky to be on your favorite band's music video
ROCK IS ALIVE. THIS SONG IS SUPER INCREDIBLE. MUSE IS BACK. ❤️🔥👍💯⚡
Muse never left. Fan for 24 years.
That solo is absolute gold. Second best in a song imo, only to Citizen Erased.
Reapers, New Born just to name a few ?
@@MrTiJackSH key word 'imo' (in my opinion). These are also amazing solos but in terms of technique and musicality, this one is one of the best he has come up with
1. Take A Bow
2. Space Dementia
3. Butterflies And Hurricanes
4. Knights Of Cydonia
5. Glorious
6. Kill Or Be Killed
7. Citizen Erased
8. The Globalist
9. Animals
10. Stockholm Syndrome
Just my opinion
what a joke
@@bilguunmunkhbaatar6841 invincible??
It's such a great feeling when your favourite band as a teenager puts out new stuff decades later and "they still got it"
Not many bands can introduce elements of other genres into their music and still stay true to "their sound." The last band I saw do this so smoothly was Thrice. This is excellent.
Hit me in the feels mentioning Thrice
I think there is nothing "new" in the style of this song. Don't get me wrong, it's a completely new piece on it's own, but it contains a lot of older heavier muse :) love it
Who? Can you recomend songs?
couldn't agree with you more my dude
Welcome to metal bud
I hope that keyboard synth part at the very end turns out to be the prelude to the next song of the album. Love that sound
High chance since verona is described as having nostalgic electronic textures
Sounds like classic Showbiz era Muse and I love it. The opening riff even sounds like the riff from Cave
Its definitely not showbiz, its more like absolution
I think that Citizen Erazed has a riff very similar
And the synth is from Bliss
I was a huge Muse fan in 00's as a teen, then somehow I forgot about their music for years I really have no idea why! And then this year randomly I thought about my favourite Muse's songs and get lost in their music once again. It feels like coming back home to a good ol' friend. Good to be back musers! I love the new album.
You forgot them because your personality simply outgrown their music. While there is a point of looking backwards to your former-self, there is really no reason to keep it or even cultivate.
Muse doesn't seem to have a peak, they just find a new maximum, and this is the latest one. 🔥
Origin of Symmetry, Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations all rolled into one - strongest song on the album for me, absolutely. The others are just a bit too poppy for my taste, but the direction for this album means that there's something for everyone. Wonderful
Best track they've put out in years. Great call backs to origin of symmetry. That double kick drum tho!
This is the ULTIMATE Muse song!! I can hear sounds from every album, as well as the new one that's a bit harder like Won't stand down!!! This sounds like heaven and it's full of nostalgia but also of energy!!!!! Can't wait to hear this live, hopefully next year or something !! Muse, we're all waiting for a European tour (an affordable one😂)🇧🇪🖤🌈
Not a Muse fan, but something told me to click on this, and holy shit! I'm blown away I must admit! I definitely will pick this album up!
1:48 that drum fill is so overlooked
Not by us! It’s great!
Finally their hard rock sound is back! 🤟🏾
🤟This is the spider man sign
🤘These are fucking devil horns.
HERE WE GO MUSERS LET'S GOOOOO
wotping rn
@@achlotter IM WOTPING OVER HEEEERE
Muse proving once again why they are n.1
The band of the era and still going strong, who knows how long they will keep influencing our lives! ❤️
They're growing stronger...😏
They were number one between 2001-2005...last albums have like 3 good songs on them
@@mattymurdo4134 you have no idea how many people would disagree with that. They're a very powerful live band and I hope more and more people see what I see in them.
Do these guys even get old?? Such a brilliant album, the nostalgia really hits
This is an absolute masterpiece. All of the voice variations and the rhythm, it's perfect.
Matt literally never ages
This gets better the more I listen to it. It has been a long time since I had that feeling about a Muse song. Cheers and well done lads!!!
Great "00's Muse" throwback. Further proof of Matt's impressive vocal range and the excellent musicality of the band as a whole.
2:57 i was totally not expecting that slam !!!
It's amazing how recognizable y'all's sound is. A lot of people play the same instruments but no one sounds like you guys, no one does what y'all do, I could have heard this as a new song somewhere not knowing for certain the title or who sang it, and yet feel sure it was Muse based solely on the sound and vibe. I love it, you guys are so uniquely you and so audibly recognizable 🙂 Dom's drumming in this is incredible and as always Matt's voice, overall everyone does great though ❤️ There's so much power in playing, the sound has perfect timing. I can tell y'all put in a lot of effort. It's so fun to see the sound evolve, there's recognizable remnants from past albums. It's a testament that the art changes with its creator. I can't wait to see where it goes next and to enjoy this whole album as always in the meantime 😃 love you guys! ❤️
Muse back to their very best heavy dramatic melodic and Doms been practicing the double pedal 🤘🏼🤘🏼🎶 proper metal riffs brilliant 🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I've been off the muse train since the black holes and revelations album tour. I drifted into metal and couldn't turn back. They still sound incredible. I will always obsess over the first 3 albums. Just perfection for me. Everything you could want from one band and so much variety. Genius.
This song coupled with Matt drawing his veins on his arms again makes it feel like Muse from 15 years ago.
This band inspires me to not be stuck in one genre as a musician. Thank you dudes.
That’s as awesome man keep it up muse is the best .
I'm big prog metal fan. the song is modern prog metal absolutely🔥🇯🇵
Dear Muse, in my deepest heart, I always pray that you will held an Asia World Tour, especially in Jakarta, Indonesia. I hope that you will come here 😭
We miss you so much, Muse! ❤
This song kicks ass!!!! Hard to believe that this is Muse. You can still hear Muse’s sound, but with some hard rock/metal thrown in there.
Got the chance to hear the song live at Rock am Ring a few weeks ago, I believe we were one of the first to listen to the song like offically. Not a hardcore muse Fan but this one is amazing
I've listened to it a thousand times and I still think that we need more yah yah yah yah yah yahh
Fun isn't it? Something a lot of people don't seem to understand.
@@SignofTheScorpion that's me! i don't get meaning of this part, however like the sound of it
It IS FUN- BIG FUN and a banger of a song 🔥🔥🔥
My grandma and I were very close growing up, she and my poppa were like a second parents to me growing up, and she got all of my family into muse years ago and we’ve been hooked since. We would try to go to as many of muse’s concerts as we could, simulation theory was the last one we all made it too last year, before she passed very suddenly, and idk why, but I haven’t been able to cry since or really deal with it properly. This is the first muse song I’ve been able to listen since, and I can’t stop crying since, and I just wanna say thank you so much, for being able to give me this catharsis, I miss her so much ❤️, I know the odds of this really being seen by anyone are slim but, I Just feel like I need to leave this here regardless
You are seen and heard here. Sorry for your loss.
I was so worried that I wouldn't hear a new Muse metal track again, so I'm beyond happy with this song! lml
I really REALLY appreciate that they are still making new music.
"Won't Stand Down" is okay
"Compliance" is good
"Will Of The People" is super cool
"Kill Or Be Killed" is great
Very excited for the full album 🔥
Feels like Muse has reached back to their roots while sprinkling a little Mastodon on top!! Absolutely fantastic!!
This is literally one of the best songs ive heard from Muse, goosebumps man, goosebumps
Speed
You clearly haven't listened much then.
@@rafaelmtoledo bruh, i just said its one of the best songs of Muse in MY HUMBLE OPINION but i guess im wrong, ill correct my opinion and thoughts because such an expert as yourself has shown me the light
Thank you so much :D
@@JorgulPro You are welcome.
@@rafaelmtoledo Greetings m'lord. Thank you for gracing us with your infallible, objective musical taste. Truly we are _blessed_
In all seriousness, pull your head out ya arse. Music is subjective. People enjoy different things. You are not correct. Neither is @JORGUL . No one is "correct" in terms of musical taste
tldr: get off your high horse silly *bonk* :3
We’ve been waiting too long! This was absolutely insane live
Imagine Muse is a person, an unemployed one, seeking for a job, and this song is their resume. Stockholm Syndrome-ish intro, the Broadway style verse is taking my soul to an another universe, really a catharsis like The Globalist or USOE in the beginning, hit something in my soul. And the chorus is straight out of BHAR. Wow.
This band has my entire heart. From Black Holes and Revelations to The 2nd Law and every album they have, I love every single song they have
This...this might just be the greatest song you guys have ever created. I have listened to it over a dozen times in the past hour I think. Words cannot describe my love for this song, thank you so much! I can't wait for the full album!
They wanted to homage their history and made a whole mashup album with unique personality and songs. How genius and perfect is that?
3:20 just perfect !
Man. I've been goin thru some real deep sh*z this year... Literally spent the last 2 hours going through my late grandma's clothes (she passed away in January from COVID), and that ain't even the half of it. Anyway, this MASTERPIECE---I'm at a loss for words. I can hear so many aspects of Muse that I have loved so dearly, and really hoped to hear on the new album. Thank you, Muse, for continuously sharing the products of your hard work & talent! Life sucks sometimes but these are the moments I live for 🖤🤟
❤
It’s like every Muse song combined in one…
It’s beautiful…
If the rest of the album sounds like this then it's going to be the best muse album in years
