I used to be a huge Muse fan, but I didn't really enjoy The Resistance ('I Belong to You' was my favorite thing on that album because it was so unexpected and well done).

That album trailer doesn't really excite me, are they really using dubstep?

I like how bands are making trailers for their albums.

It tells me when to skip an album.

I'm a huge Muse fan, and when I read dubstep I was ready to start hating.... but it actually sounds not bad. I'm sure the whole album wont be dubstep lol, but that small clip sounds interesting.

I didn't know there was so much Muse hate on gaf (not just for this clip, but for the band in general)

We only hate because we love how good Origin of Symmetry/Showbiz/Absolution were in contrast to ... Black Holes & Revelations/The Resistance.

Hell even Random1-8, B-sides from OOS/Showbiz, and the Newton Abbot Demo were better.

Always been a Muse Fan.

All their albums have a very different direction, and they're not afraid to try things, and experiment.

Can't wait to see where they go with the dub step part, even if that dub step sequence in the trailer was pretty awful (and I generally enjoy dub step).

The orchestral part on the other hand ... stellar.

Don't forget that it's just a trailer too, they always have been shitty at glimpses of their albums.

My friend, if you had true "mecaline eyes" you wouldn't be casting down judgements of musical taste from atop your ivory high horse.

Personally, I liked from Muse - Half of Showbiz, all of Origin, most of Absolution, half of Blackholes and could barely stand Resistance. I'm not terribly optimistic about this album.

First of all, album trailer? Really?

Secondly, that was one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. I get that Muse doesn't do subtlety, but the sheer overblown bombastic weight of it made me audibly laugh, and that was before the dubstep even kicked in, which was just the icing on an already over-egged cake.

I just hope this song has some songs that ROCK.

The Resistance didn't really have any. MK Ultra had some sick riffs, but they'd go on for like two bars and then stop. Unnatural Selection had some rocking sections, but no chorus.

Overall, I liked The Resistance more than most. I loved Guiding Light and Undisclosed Desires (the latter mainly for the slap bass during the chorus), but I'm definitely in the minority there.

Muse needs to go back to writing rock songs like Plug In Baby or Hysteria.

Undisclosed Desires is one of the better pop songs of the past few years. I also loved Exogenesis: Symphony. The rest was pretty shitty, though. Dunno how people could dislike BHAR.

WRONG

1. OoS
2. Absolution
3. BH&R
4. Showbiz
5. That-album-which-shall-not-be-named

1 can switch with 2; 3 can switch with 4, but the rest of the general form remains. It's my opinion, of course, but I'd say there is a logic to my rankings.

I love Muse so i'm willing to give this a try, but I can't help but feel that this album is just going to add on to their downward spiral.

The Resistance had a few good songs, but I thought it was merely okay otherwise. BH&R was decent but nothing like its predecessors. edit: BH&R did have City of Delusion, though! Dat trumpet solo.

Why do people hate Black Holes? It's just one of those awesome albums where all songs but one are fucking awesome.

Fuck you Soldiers Poem for jinxing that album.

After that comes Origin, which is awesome too.

The song that is yet to premiere (soon) is also confirmed to be the official London 2012 song. You guys think I should throw together a new thread?

Also, it's Survival not Unsustainable.

We are very excited to announce that a Muse song, Survival, has been selected by the London Olympic committee to be the main official song for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Matt wrote the song with the Olympics in mind. It's about total conviction and pure determination to win.

The song will be played throughout the Games including when athletes enter the stadium, in the lead up to the medal ceremony and also as the theme for all international TV coverage. The worldwide radio exclusive will be tonight on BBC Radio 1 during Zane Lowe's show around 19:30 and will be available to buy on iTunes and in the muse.mu store immediately afterwards.

We are honoured that the Olympics have chosen our song to officially represent the London 2012 Olympic Games across the globe.

Hopefully it was followed by a guitar solo. Resistance didn't have those either.
