This is one of my favourite Muse songs. And yes they are more alt rock than progressive, but still such an awesome band. I find I need to listen to their songs a few times to fully appreciate just how wonderful they are. I tend to enjoy their older catalogue (before 2006) more than the newer.
Bliss is my fave song ever of all time! I thought it will be the only one but actually i found other song perfect antipode to it so now i have a perfect duo of fave songs one Bliss - so blissful in every way and other one Outro: Tear - a heart wrenching hip hop.
@@deanwolfechannel glad to see you're so open minded! You should react to some of their live material, really puts another layer on their music. It's like it was meant to be performed live. Love the channel and I hope you're well :)
@@musestarlight1 No he hates Muse. Because he said in an early 2000's interview "Muse is were I draw the line, they both rip is of and at the same time slack us off. So you get it. If you doubt what Thom Yorke was saying. listen to Pearly, Trickster, Exit Music for a Film, and Big Boots. These songs were the blue print for the early Muse signature sound. It's obvious. Anyone with ears can hear that. So he was right he invented them. He was probably ok with them being heavily influenced by Radiohead. But it was the slack us of part which maid him have bad blood for them, for obvious reason.
Cool! I loved that album! In context of the time there was nothing quite like them sound-wise. Awesome voice, great songwriting and all the bits and pieces. Energy. That bass! And it's still only 3 guys 😅 Great album, great videos also. Thank you 🙂👍
Great song, great reaction ! You probably noticed that they sound better live. Reading 2006 is the best version of this track I believe. Not sure if you reacted to song Space dementia live at reading 2011 or Map of problematique Live at glastonbury 2016. They are both amazing and I think you would like them too! Loves from istanbul :))
You wrote you got hot by the Song totally different while editing. I am a hardcore Muse fan since i saw them live on a small Festival 2001. And still i had to listen to every new album three or four times until i got the groove and then i loved it.
If you do a whole album it has to be Origin of Symmetry or Absolution (i prefer Absolution), their first album is rly good but it's more straightforward and less prog then the stuff they did after.
Hiya, Dean. 🙌 So one of my all time favorite bands is Radiohead... Now I wouldn't group them in a progressive category, but more in their own genre, more experimental, I guess. However, one of their finest songs is very progressive! If you've never heard the song Paranoid Android from them, I would highly recommend this song to react to, don't think you'll be disappointed!!! It's on the OK Computer album (I dont recommend the video version... too distracting). For me it is one of those type of songs/bands that you remember where you were and what you were doing the first time you ever heard them.
@@deanwolfechannel You'll love It! The song Paranoid Android is very progressive, check it out. 😉 Also KID A and In Rainbows are my favorite albums of their's. Very experimental, melodic and hauntingly beautiful. ❤
Great Suggestion, one of the finest alternative/prog bands of the last two decades! I’d recommend checking out „Savant“ by them. Beautiful polyrhythms and melodies.
@Dean: Catalyst is off their first album and was one of the singles if I remember correctly. So it’s still rather „tame“ on the prog side and veers a bit more into alternative (think „if Incubus was more experimental“). The album „Frames“ is more „mature prog“ in my eyes, if you want to come from that angle.
@@deanwolfechannel Oh I can definitely imagine you falling in love with "Frames". Such an interesting album, three guitars and incredibly impressive song crafting.
If you like this song check out the Reading 2017 performance, it's amazing! Then I recommend you to listen to Space Dementia, Bliss, Reapers, The Handler ...
Dean.. can you help distinguish between "progressive" and "experimental"? I feel like there is often some over lap between the two but also some confusion between the two as well.
great question and not an easy one to answer. I think it's a good topic for a video actually. I'd like to address the whole topic of what makes prog music progressive...I think experimental is a foundation or pillar in prog music. It has to be daring. Experimental is only experimental if it doesn't cross over into the music in a fundamentally altering way...
@@deanwolfechannel "my" definition of progressive music is one that goes beyond the conventional boundaries of music: it doesn't follow the same structure as 80% of music, it's not always 3 mins (there are songs only 40 seconds long (Stop, by Pink Floyd), others are 40 mins (Thick as a Brick, by Jethro Tull). It's a kind of music that has "no rules". You can have hard rock with an orchestra and then some folk! At least that's how I see progressive music. Having that in mind, progressive music needs to be experimental, so I don't have a really distinction between the two terms. It would be nice to listen to your opinion in a video
Thank you so much for your feedback I find it really helpful and yes I definitely see in the future doing a video strictly discussing the definitions of progressive music
@@deanwolfechannel Absolutely a wonderful idea! Maybe feature parts of songs that are "un-prog" like stuff from Radiohead (Paranoid Android), Alice in Chains (Rooster), Portishead (Strangers), Nine Inch Nails (Reptile), The Cure (Fascination Street), Björk (Army of Me), David Bowie (Blackstar), Rage Against the Machine (Know Your Enemy) then tell us if you think it's experimental pop, progressive rock, experimental electronic, hybrid, industrial, straight up rock or alternative rock, etc... You could even do a short series between album reacts. "Types of Progressive Rock" or "Does this Song Fit?" Haha! So much other good music from the 90's can't be classified or, like Björk and Trent Reznor, they just said "fuckit- I'll make my own genre!" It would be cool to see you dive into those... 🌀
Dean, you say it was the metal element that put you off the later prog. Did you listen to Marillion and if not then you should now. Start with the first Album ‘Script for a Jesters tear’. Much closer to early Genesis than metal.
i know a drummer who is a big marillion fan. I listened to a CD in the car a few years ago. I thought it was great sounding but returned the cd and haven't really listened since. I want to do some mariillion tho
Dean Wolfe - As you liked it, maybe do an album react to ‘Script for a jesters tear’ or do a quick listen to track one to see if you recognise it and if so maybe move on to do the next album which was ‘Fugazi’. If you want to dive into what I think is the best album of the Fish period ( Fish was the lead singer) then IMHO the 3rd Album ‘ Misplaced Childhood’ is probably the best. After album 4 ‘ Clutching at Straws’ Fish left the band and Steve Hogarth took up the vocals. This was quite a change as Fish was very distinctive but the band survived and retained a large and loyal following. For me the 4 Fish albums were the best and contain prog rock that stands up very well against that of the 70’s but I am sure there will be others who disagree and prefer the later albums. Might be good to get recommendations for the best Steve Hogarth led album and do a compare and contrast with Misplaced Childhood. One warning and I really had to concentrate to do this myself. If you do Script for a Jesters tear, try not to compare with Gabriel period Genesis. On first hearing it sounds very similar and I have heard them put down and dismissed by fellow Genesis fans for copying however if you can set the superficial similarities aside there is some great original music being produced.
I'm reacting to full albums now as much as possible. Marillion is a great one to do seeing as I don't know any of their earlier stuff except they had that one hit.
What does a progger listen to when he walks away from it for oh what Dean...... 15 or so years? Lol my god man no way lmao! Thanks for the video amigo🤘🤘🤘🤘👁️🗨️👁️🗨️ No Dean!
@@deanwolfechannel I love instrumental prog rock and metal! Gothic Country rock, Psychobilly Rock (The Cramps), 80s music, Industrial, cheesy 80s and 90s radio Casey Kasem top 40 shit lol I listen to it all.
i hope you might spend less time on tool ...muse..it seems an inordinate amout of time is spent there......check out plini..anglagaard.....animals as leaders... beardfish ...kaipa,, opeths later stuff...flower kings...riverside...big big train..deer hunter...and these 2 early 2000 albums by Gordian Knot an American rock band directed by bass guitarist Sean Malone. At times its shifting lineup has included Steve Hackett of Genesis, Bill Bruford of King Crimson and Yes, Ron Jarzombek from Watchtower and Spastic Ink as well as Jim Matheos of Fates Warning, several of Malone's former bandmates from Cynic and John Myung from Dream Theater.
you can never spend too much time on tool. and before he checks out late opeth stuff he should first do the better old stuff. animals as leaders definitely is worth a shot (arithmophobia, physical education, ectogenesis)
OMG there is so much I want to listen to!!! Almost done with all of Tool's studio stuff. Can you suggest a Gordian Knot track as an introduction to them?
@@scifimonkey3 yup agreed..its why i said late opeth!...anglagard has crimson influences...beardfish is eclectic prog..flower kings and kaipa are symphonic..kinda like yes? big big train..kinda like genesis..wobbler genesis.....plini is instrumental neo prog..amazing guitarist from down under.... and gordian knot uses warr guitars and sticks basses and has a prog touch of metal and fusiony feel.
As fantastic as Muse were, and what they became, it's always THIS tune that has that full body effect on me. Properly cuts right through me.
Same, I hate that new muse just sounds like a parody of themselves to me.
This song.... Untouchable
showbiz is masterpiece
Yeah it's great
❤❤❤
MORE MUSE!!!
eventually i will run out of Muse, no worries...! More to come.
first heard this song on an acid trip, it was the only positive part of that experience. such an amazing song that takes a couple listens to truly hit
i agree it is a sleeper and grows on the listener with repeat listens.
lol bruh
You should watch a live version of this track. Bellamy hits all of those notes in impressive fashion. Really good.
sounds like a plan!
This is one of my favourite Muse songs. And yes they are more alt rock than progressive, but still such an awesome band. I find I need to listen to their songs a few times to fully appreciate just how wonderful they are. I tend to enjoy their older catalogue (before 2006) more than the newer.
If you do a full album, Origin of Symmetry would be closest to the sort of music you like probably
Great suggestion thank you
@@deanwolfechannelYep he’s right... My favorite one too...
man, the ending on that song yets me every time.
You should listen to the live version of Hullabaloo, the ending of this song on that live record is just really adding to the song as a whole.
Do bliss by muse! One of, if not my favourite of their songs
Bliss is my fave song ever of all time! I thought it will be the only one but actually i found other song perfect antipode to it so now i have a perfect duo of fave songs one Bliss - so blissful in every way and other one Outro: Tear - a heart wrenching hip hop.
They're more of a standard rock band with some heavy prog influence at points, I find. Love them though, they offer such a variety!
Yes, they really change it up often
@@deanwolfechannel glad to see you're so open minded! You should react to some of their live material, really puts another layer on their music. It's like it was meant to be performed live.
Love the channel and I hope you're well :)
I'd say Alternative Rock myself.
Some more proggy Muse songs: Citizen Erased, Screenager, Butterflies & Hurricanes, Ruled by Secrecy, Exogenesis Symphony
This entire album is very kooky and Showbiz has always been my favourite song by Muse, but Origin of Symmetry is their best album.
Muse and Radiohead were my gateway to prog growing up in the late 90s early 00s. My favourite bands today are Genesis and King Crimson.
Too bad Radiohead are so self observed they hate muse because thom thinks he invented music 👍 muse 👎 Radiohead

This song still remain my favourite song ever Maybe 'cause I can distinguish easily the various instruments
I'm happy you found them. I think we're all fortunate to have their music to listen to.
Great song, great reaction ! You probably noticed that they sound better live. Reading 2006 is the best version of this track I believe.

Loves from istanbul :))
This Live in Astoria is one of the best videos of Muse 👌🏻
Some of the live versions are also cool.
Showbiz is not prog (me reacting to your thumbnail) but thanks for checking Muse out !
Why not?
You wrote you got hot by the Song totally different while editing. I am a hardcore Muse fan since i saw them live on a small Festival 2001.
And still i had to listen to every new album three or four times until i got the groove and then i loved it.
I think showbiz is a grunge influenced brit-rock record.
Have you ever heard reapers by muse? If not I'd 100% recommend it
No
Great song! 💜
❤❤❤
If you do a whole album it has to be Origin of Symmetry or Absolution (i prefer Absolution), their first album is rly good but it's more straightforward and less prog then the stuff they did after.
Yeah Origin of Symmetry is the peak of their prog ambitions, it has some very strange moments that are very unique

Haha, 2 years later and finally reacting to Radiohead albums!
@@deanwolfechannel HaHa, better late than never. I watched both reactions and enjoyed your reaction to the music. Glad to see you enjoy Radiohead! 😉
**Cave** And **Darkshines** Pls!!!
You were probably a fan of Matt Bellamy's dad without even knowing it.
Have you listened to any Oceansize? Their album Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up is probably their most progressive. A very underrated band.
Yes!! Such underrated band. Catalyst could be a nice first listen.
Great Suggestion, one of the finest alternative/prog bands of the last two decades!

yes
Hey Dean, take a chance on Cosmos by Cynic. May find it interesting
Glorious is my fav song ever may u react?
Um, possibly.
I really hope you plan to do an old-Metallica album review (...And Justice for All & Master of Puppets would be my recommendations)
absolutely

Nice reaction .i love muse . Can you react to BABYMETAL - Tales Of The Destinies ? it's progressive
