In a interview - Matt Bellamy said that this album is their alternative to just releasing a "best of" album. They went back through their catalog and put fourth the best type of each song they have made. Each song is their version of their best type of song. Kill or be killed is their best version of a metal song. And I would agree
Bellamy is a very talented composer! He likes to use various musical genres, instruments, effects, tools. He likes to combine rock, metal, symphonic orchestra, piano, synthesizers, dubstep, electronics, and classical music. He loves Queen, Chopin and other bands. And you know what's the best? The best part is that ultimately, when the song is done, it still sounds like Muse! In Muse we will find a lot of inspiration, but the sound will tell us that it's this band. I love them for that! Matt Bellamy said he didn't like recording two of the same albums. He likes variety. PS: On the Internet you can read that the next songs from the latest album "Will Of The People" will be very interesting. "Ghosts" is a sad piano ballad. The piece refers to death. "Liberation" is a musical rollercoaster. Apparently it resembles "Bohemian Rhapsody"! It will be interesting! Greetings to you! Great channel!
@@drewdrake4451 Yes i love it! This is one of my favorite songs! The symphony shows Matt Bellamy's great talent as a composer. Honestly, I miss classical music. I would like Muse to record something similar again sometime. The whole album "The Resistance" is a beautiful mix of Queen and classical music. Besides, "Exogenesis" is double happiness for me. Why? I recommend listening to this song in the instrumental version. It's a fascinating experience! I am from Poland and I love Fryderyk Chopin's music. Matt loves him too. I am glad that he is following him. Instrumental version of "Exogenesis": th-cam.com/video/OyxCMgAK3LY/w-d-xo.html
I'm going to listen to the instrumental version with the good headphones in a moment. You like Simulation Theory! What does the song The Void say to you? Aware I might sound weird asking questions like this but I'm interested in those that can really feel the work.
@@drewdrake4451 Do not worry! I like such questions! I also think that you have to feel music! It's great that you are writing this! "Simulation Theory" is a surprising album. Unusual and unusual, but once again confirming that Muse likes musical experiments. "The Void" is an interesting song. In my opinion, one of the best on the album. When I listen to "The Void", I have the impression that I am at a psychiatrist's and I am hypnotized. I imagine myself going deeper and deeper into the tunnel with each passing second and there is light at the end. It's fascinating that this is the last number on the album! Her position on the tracklist matches my feelings. Wow! Is this a deliberate action by Muse? From the album "Simulation Theory" I like "Algorithm" the most. It reminds me of film music. I also like "Pressure" a lot. A beautiful journey into the 1980s and the movie "Back to the Future". Every time I listen to her, I move my head and my whole body. PS: Sorry for my English. It's not the best, but I hope it's understandable! :) PS 2: Yes! Sergey Rachmaninoff is also present at B&H. This is a great inspiration for Matt!
Bliss, Stockholm Syndrome, Map of the Problematique... it has a lot of signature bits from OoS-BHAR era hits. also reminds me of Reapers and especially The Handler from Drones
That was actually a gutteral during that breakdown I think, it just had mad effects/production on it. Matt can definitely do gutterals because there's a video from last week of him randomly doing one during madness which was so out of place but hilarious
@@cynzix Chris does more or less "Whisper Screams" I believe, he basically just whispers loudly (if that makes sense) and they put distorted effects over it
The footage is from the IOW festival, I was there and it was incredible. I’ve seen muse 7 times now and that song was one of, if not the best I’ve seen them play live
Matt said in an interview his son made him listen to Slipknot every day on the way to school, so maybe this is not only a callback to their Absolution days but integrating some Slipknot elements in there.
Guys its not about that we don't know that you guys are busy and have another songs to react to. Its just that we are so excited thats all. We apologize if we insisted. Loved your reaction as always. Thank you
I feel attacked as one of the people that messages Nath! Haha 😂 fun fact Muse are my favourite band, but I still managed to message Nath before listening to this. Just because I know it and the reaction would be awesome!!! Buzzing for the album to drop!!
It reminds me of The small print in places. Vocal melody is similar. But yeah, since every song Muse does sounds like Muse, it's a pretty big shout to make all of them completely unique.
I have been to this live KOBK in june in Berlin, and in London in May and before that in the O2 in 2019 and many before that. You sick Aussie Metal Heads should come and go with us in the mosh.
So without kistening to your commentary at the end (sorry, wanted to get this comment out on my break), I think you're thinking of Time Is Running Out and/or Stockholm Syndrome. The PreChrous drum work is Time and the breakdown and riffage is Stockholm 😁 Freakin Love this one!!
Definitely BHAR vibes!! This could be one of their top songs imo, so late in their career too its so cool 😎 also please Johnny 🙏 do the backflip #emp4eva
"unexpected" this song like "I have so many song in my playlist and many genres in there. and Muse come to my playlist to pickup many song and genres and blend it and boom... Muse created 1song"
Ive been searching for someone who had the same feeling, and you got it! Definitevly the same one. And it's the real Muse we've been all expecting. Loud, sweet and bangy!
Far better a song than WSD. Feels a lot less 'lets try and be heavy' and a lot more 'lets just do what we do best and see what happens.' Could have sat neatly on BHAR.
Won't Stand Down is one of their best songs...which is saying something. Lyrically, positionally, musically and visually, it is one of their masterpieces. IMO (since we're abbreviating) 🙂
I'm begging you both react to Palaye Royale - Fever Dream It's the title track for they're upcoming album and It's far different from Broken or any of you're previous reactions to them. Ly guys x
Hey guys, I know you've been asked a ton to react this, but could you react to the breakdown with nath and johnny? I just really need to see your reactions to their reactions, please and thank you. - from, Reaction Requester #1789
@@Lemurstache sorry for the late reply, I am no so active on YT, but here are some of my fav songs: The Darkside, The Handler, Supremacy, MK Ultra, Stockholm Syndrom, Butterflies and Hurricanes, New Born, Plug In Baby, Citizen Erased, Muscle Museum.

I don't know what bothers with some people about Australian accent. It is way better to a foreigner like me than for an example Scottich accent where you can almost forget that you have ever learned English at all :)
Highly recommend PUP. One of my favorite bands and think you guys would like them. Reservoir, free at last, or sleep in the heat would be awesome but all their shit is good. Full blown meltdown or unraveling of pup the band are fun wild cards to. Also some of realist most down to earth people I've ever seen live.
Yes! I've been waiting for this ever since Alexa Garza of Suicide Silence talk it up so much. I cant say I know any of their other material? But I was NOT expecting the heavy. Speaking of heavy PLEASEEEEEE check out the new Silent Planet single!!
Ahllo. You guys are techy fuckwads that yes, can predict Muse's sound.....but HOW THE FUCK are you supposed to appreciate the roller coaster of the song with ALL THE PAUSING?!?!?!?!?!? P.S. Been a fan of them for over 20 years
Damn you guys are some real music snobs, dudes like you made me hate guitar stores. Taking my like and sub right back, should have known there would come a bad reaction. Oh no did you just say you generally prefer studio to live music? Dude...
Dude, relax. Music is a personal experience to everyone and we all have different opinions, tastes, dislikes, preferences. But anyway, thanks for watching, take care!
@@nathandjohnny I'm WAY more relaxed than you and I didn't say you didn't enjoy the song, don't force that on me. Your reactions are just not entertaining, enjoyable or relateable and some viewpoints and assumptions are pretty close minded, aka snobbish. Sorry.

In my opinion this is the best song released from the album so far
Without a doubt
Now that the rest of the album is out, I'd say this is the best song on the album.
The best since absolution for me.
In a interview - Matt Bellamy said that this album is their alternative to just releasing a "best of" album. They went back through their catalog and put fourth the best type of each song they have made. Each song is their version of their best type of song. Kill or be killed is their best version of a metal song. And I would agree
“best of but not really”
Isn't won't stand down more metal though
@@Literallyjustmint he probably means throughout the whole song but other than that i’d think so
@@Literallyjustmint yeah I mean you could argue that, but I was just throwing out what the article said, more so than my interpretation of it
Sounds like they’re going through the motions

You like Simulation Theory! What does the song The Void say to you?
Aware I might sound weird asking questions like this but I'm interested in those that can really feel the work.
I find Rachmanioff to be beautiful. You can hear the influence during the piano solo on Butterflies.

It's "Bliss" off their 2nd album that it reminds me of. Big full on , typical, Muse, power chorus.
Great vid again guys.
Bliss, Stockholm Syndrome, Map of the Problematique... it has a lot of signature bits from OoS-BHAR era hits.
also reminds me of Reapers and especially The Handler from Drones
@@aldeayeah And Blockades
Muse is on Fire! 🤘🔥 As a fan for 25 years now this is huuge. This is the Muse i love. Even with chuggs
That was actually a gutteral during that breakdown I think, it just had mad effects/production on it. Matt can definitely do gutterals because there's a video from last week of him randomly doing one during madness which was so out of place but hilarious
He can do it but I think hes afraid to do it on a regular basis so he went with the easy approach that was using an effect on the mic to do it
doing a gutteral scream during Madness is probably the most Matt Bellamy thing ever 😂😂😂
Chris does then as well, in Psycho and Supermassive Black Hole it was him.
@@cynzix Chris does more or less "Whisper Screams" I believe, he basically just whispers loudly (if that makes sense) and they put distorted effects over it
@@Jxgzy Oh, that makes sense. Sounds cool, tho
Huge "Stockholm Syndrome" and "Reapers" vibes here and that's damn good thing.

Not a Muse fan here; this is an absolute banger !

We know ☺️💙
A bit Knights of Cydonia, a bit Hysteria, a bit Assassins, a bit Reapers :)
Reapers! That’s what it reminds me of!
@@musicislife1990 Yes!
Actually let me add. It reminds me exactly of halfway through The Handler. That's the one!!
I feel attacked as one of the people that messages Nath! Haha 😂 fun fact Muse are my favourite band, but I still managed to message Nath before listening to this. Just because I know it and the reaction would be awesome!!!
Buzzing for the album to drop!!
Me too 😂 i kept texting them but we really didnt mean it to bug them its just we are so excited for their reaction.
Something about hearing the double kick from Muse makes me so happy bro
HUGE MUSE fan. This is for sure one of their best albums, just saw them last month in Los Angeles.
Best single off the new album so far
I love all Muse, old and new. I can't wait to see them live in July. Woohoo!
nate u are my new nail icon haha and i agree it sounds similar and u make me feel like its halloween reminds me of supermassive black hole
I think this song became part of their usual setlist, they played it live a ton of times before the studio release
Get Johnny to do a backflip at a kids indoor trampoline park, whilst wearing a pikachu onesie
It reminds me of The small print in places. Vocal melody is similar. But yeah, since every song Muse does sounds like Muse, it's a pretty big shout to make all of them completely unique.
This song to me sounds like The Small Print mixed with elements of Break it To Me and Dead Star.
I have been to this live KOBK in june in Berlin, and in London in May and before that in the O2 in 2019 and many before that. You sick Aussie Metal Heads should come and go with us in the mosh.
It's as metal as muse can get with not being themselves
This was the first time I’ve listed to it all the way through. Which hurts my heart because I used to stay up and listen to it as soon as possible..
So without kistening to your commentary at the end (sorry, wanted to get this comment out on my break), I think you're thinking of Time Is Running Out and/or Stockholm Syndrome. The PreChrous drum work is Time and the breakdown and riffage is Stockholm 😁
Freakin Love this one!!

shouldn't have paused it at 6:55 dangit
"unexpected" this song like "I have so many song in my playlist and many genres in there. and Muse come to my playlist to pickup many song and genres and blend it and boom... Muse created 1song"
5:07 I think it's structured like Assassin, but heavier than anything else they've done. And you're right that's not a bad thing.
reminds me of the old school UFC theme song they used for the start of their programming lol Stemm-Face the pain
The end of this song gives me huge techno drowning pool vibes
Take a bow + knights of cydonia + bliss + repears + resistance + invincible = kill or be killed
The melodies and the structure reminds me of Stockholm Syndrome 100%%% I started almost singing that at a few points in this song haha
Ive been searching for someone who had the same feeling, and you got it! Definitevly the same one. And it's the real Muse we've been all expecting. Loud, sweet and bangy!
Definitely get “Madness” vibes from this one 👍🏻
Far better a song than WSD. Feels a lot less 'lets try and be heavy' and a lot more 'lets just do what we do best and see what happens.' Could have sat neatly on BHAR.
So true
exactly my thoughts too
Won't Stand Down is one of their best songs...which is saying something. Lyrically, positionally, musically and visually, it is one of their masterpieces. IMO (since we're abbreviating) 🙂
2:50 that is so Dom
Hey guys ! I like you react of song . Can you please react to muse assasin live at mayan . I hope you enjoy that if you see my comment here !
I think the song you were thinking of was Stockholm Syndrome from 2003’s Absolution. Check out dead star. It’s from a 2002 EP
Major Queens of the Stoneage vibes
I'm begging you both react to Palaye Royale - Fever Dream

Sounds just like the start of FEVER 333 - BURN IT.... shady
One of the best they've done in a long time. I dislike most of the others on the album.

waiting for the day they announce the Australia tour :(
