[Muse] "Black Holes & Revelations"

[MachinE]

Para empezar, la voz no parece él ni de coña pero bueno. Tú pones esto a alguien y te dice : Prince?? Lleva todo el rollo de este. Al principio empieza bien, con ese ritmillo, pero en cuanto empieza a cantar etc es bastante penoso!!
Otros que tiro a la basura.....

[Dross]

Interesante canción.
Y bueno, lo de que se parece a "Toxic" de Britney Spears(buena canción, por cierto) lo veo un poco forzado.

[nICKyDippLe]

Todavía no he escuchado el tema (grrr grrr puta falta de tiempo y medios) pero sí me he leído todo lo que habéis comentado.. y no sé, Time is running out tenía un rollo funky, muy bailable, por lo menos mucho más que Plug in baby. Y si decís que esta ya es tan bailable que la requetepincharían en los garitos más pijos    pues está claro que en todos sus primeros singles se han ido acercando a su propósito de AMAR A LAURA xD

Y no creo que los hasta ahora "no museros", se vayan a enganchar por este tema. Verdad th3r3m1n?

Va a surgir a partir de ahora una nueva raza de museros, lo estoy visualizando..

xd No da tiempo, en una de estas sale el segundo single y se quedará todo el mundo igual de loco.  


Pego de nuevo la descripción de algunas canciones del álbum, para tenerlas a mano en cuanto se filtre otra (cosa que espero ocurra pronto):


The Preview
Firstly, even more grandiloquent, researched and experimental than Absolution, the new album is becoming more impressive than its predecessors. ROCKMAG listened to six tracks before talking with the trio. (Here’s the) commentary:


Hex (4:47)
Chris Wolstenholme, “Hex could be the opening track, we’ll see later. We wrote it at the end of the Absolution sessions, and it sounds similar (to Absolution tracks). It has evolved a lot since then, but it’s principle remains the same: a change of periodic agreements which are at the brink of exploding. Its structure is mathematical, the main idea being a formula with neither chorus nor verse. Dom’s never played like that, with very jazzy rhythms, slow ones, followed by more chaotic bits integrated into the whole.”

A Soldier’s Poem (2:12)
Dominic Howard, “It’s about a soldier in prison, who feels abandoned by a country that’s falling apart. We didn’t know how to play it and, finally, we made into a melodramatic jazz style. It’s big and minimal at the same time. We were surprised to see that you can play jazz and make it sound good. We’ll probably keep it, because we’ll have a whale of a time with it.

Supermassive Black Hole (3:32)
Matthew Bellamy, “It’s the most different to anything we’ve ever done. We’ve had some Belgian influences: Millionaire, dEUS, Evil Superstars, Soulwax… These groups were the first to mix R&B rhythms with alternative guitar. We’ve added a bit of Prince and Kanye West. The drumbeat isn’t rocky, with Rage Against The Machine riffs underneath. We’ve mixed a lot of things in this track, with a bit of electronica; it’s different, slow, quite funny…”


Starlight (3:59)
Chris Wolstenholme, “Starlight was written in the practice studio at the end of 2004. It was a simple idea, stemming from a piano impro (he hums, editor’s note). We wanted to keep it as simple as possible, and that was very difficult to do. Starlight had to be spontaneous, unleashing an energy that was difficult to capture. It’s influenced by The Strokes, on a drumbeat and basic basslines. Its structure is simple, and its melodies catchy. There’s a pop element in each of our albums, a simple bit, very melodic, like Time Is Running Out on Absolution. Today, Starlight is that one.”

Invincible (5:20)
Matthew Bellamy, “I wrote in the Great Lakes area. There was snow everywhere, we were holed up in a small town in the Twin Peaks. We had rented a boat to go fishing, the weather was horrible and we were all ill. Once in our pathetic motel, without TV or anything, I was bored stiff, and I wrote the beginning of the song. I don’t know if it came from the boat, the weather or the seasickness, but it was very optimistic. We recorded it at Miraval, in a total rage: we were annoyed that we hadn’t succeeded (in recording) Hex, and Invincible came all by itself. The recording is almost entirely live. In fact, the energy in the title is true: the performance of each represents its lyrics.”

Knights of Cydonia (5:50)
Dominic Howard, “Matt was at the back of the bus in Arizona, repeating the jerky riff to death, outside we could see the desert rolling … all that went very well together. Galloping horses, Texas, trumpets… We wanted to depict a journey, to make it sound like Joe Meek. We found the title recently. Cydonia is the name of the Martian site on which you can the face of Mars.”

vaaale, reconozco que con las escuchas mejora
esto si que es reciclaje jeje

[Jetfil]

La cancion es mala mala mala. Creia que con A100 ya tenia el cupo cubierto  de decepciones para los proximos 5 años, pero que va...

[molul]

Sinceramente, no sé qué pensar. Estoy muy contento de que Muse se hayan quitado sus topicazos de encima (por fin Matt toca otros registros vocales!! ), pero tengo que escuchar el tema más veces. Por ahora ni me va ni me viene, pero valoro muy positivamente el cambio, y aunque el tema no me emocione, tengo esperanzas en que el nuevo disco sea estimulante.

Y por cierto Jetfil, sé que no te mola el rollo electrónico del TFE de Corgan, pero a nivel compositivo y sónico A100 es la puta polla =)

[Northern Star]

No se si es que me estoy volviendo un pastelon o que ya soy un vendido o si simplemente sera la edad o que ya me estoy imaginando el videoclip repleto de chicas muy ligeritas de ropa... pero a mi me parece un temon.

xd A ver qué tal el video, seguro que es un cachondeo.
Y en directo ese riff va a cobrar vida. Y si no al tiempo...
A ver si de paso recuperan "Endlessly" en los conciertos, y nos ponemos de bailoteo ahí, cubatita en mano. xD

[Iokanaan]

Joder, ¿cómo puede no gustaros? Ésta es de meterla directamente al Club del Temazo, sin recomendación previa. xDD

Sobre lo de las discotecas de pijos...yo la veo más rollito 8ymedio...xD

[MaDMaX]

Sabia que Iokanaan diria exactamente lo que ha dicho xD

[Anonymous]

Primera crítica al single:

First Listen: Muse - Supermassive Black Hole

Muse; overblown space rock protagonists specialising in the epic and extravagant, yeah? Not quite. If you're looking for the 'fuck me, that's a bit different' comeback of the year, this is it. Matt Bellamy has turned electro sex dwarf.

It's true that, after repeated listens, 'Absolution' sounded just too big for it's own good, occasionally slipping into something between self parody and a Tina Turner stadium rock tribute. Contained within, however, were the hints of something great; the flashes of electronica that ran throughout the breathy 'Endlessly' certainly did the trick.

'Supermassive Black Hole' may be the most ridiculous song title of the year, but it's also the Devon trio's super hit in waiting. Throw away all those ideas of what a Muse song should sound like, because this isn't it. Those electronic tendencies have been developed and, where, last time round, 'Time Is Running Out' was slightly removed from the usual rule book, this rips it up, spits it out and tracks down the nearest disco ball.

Bass lines, beeps and metronomic beats envelop a falsetto that refuses to grate. Think Soulwax, Millionaire or, hell, even Prince, and you wouldn't be far off. A funked up riff and layered vocals all combine to make a track with a genuine groove. Electro-pop never sounded this damn huge; the charts await.

"Electro-pop never sounded this damn huge"

Equilicuá...

[Zwanling]

La cancioncilla mejora con las escuchas, la verdad es que como single no la veo, precisamente por que a la primera escucha te quedas gelido y pensando "¿eto ke e'?", a mi me costo lo suyo llegar a creerme que pudieran ser Muse. Pero bueno, como he dicho, la canción mejora y Muse necesitaba nuevos aires.
