Muse has a new album coming out.




Never really been a huge Muse fan. I like some of their stuff, really liked the Resistance album. I was somewhat looking forward to their new album.


Hopefully it's more like the first two-thirds of that video than the last third.

If you like them, you should check out Attack on Memory by Cloud Nothings. It's a little more 90s college radio in its lo-fi sound, but has a similar combo of having melodic tunes that rock pretty hard (except for the quiet opening track). Those two albums are my favorites of the year by a lot.

Thing that has bothered me most about the Muse is that they've never really had their own sound. When they started, they sounded like Radiohead knockoffs, now they are a U2/Queen mutation. They have some good stuff, but they aren't must owns for me.

I don't mind a band keeping the name with only 1 original member, as long as that member is the vocalist. I hate when metal bands completely change lineups twice over, with new members all around, and still use the original name just to sell more albums. Haste the Day comes to mind (RIP) although I think the bassist stayed throughout.

Muse is a pretty good band. I prefer their earlier stuff though like Hysteria and Time Is Running Out.

new Smashing Pumpkins album leaked. Haven't gotten around to listening to it yet so I can't tell you if it's better than Zeitgeist, but I did read a comment by someone saying it was their favorite since Adore.

ITunes has been streaming it, so I wouldn't so much call it a leak as someone recorded that stream probably.
