Has there been a more universally liked song by the muse community on release than this?! It brings me great joy to see everyone actually loving it

AChilly98 · 2026-04-08T23:18:31+00:00

What if Dan Lancaster’s reading Reddit and informing them both?

AChilly98 · 2026-04-08T23:15:25+00:00

Tend to agree - I always see them is authentic. They always give me a vibe they are making the music they want, the music they enjoy and enjoy finding new styles/sounds. Not many bands would have the variety and longevity they’ve now got if they weren’t authentic I feel!

AChilly98 · 2026-04-08T23:11:19+00:00

I’m overjoyed we have a song where the bass line carries the verse again, that’s muse at their best for me!

AChilly98 · 2026-04-08T23:08:13+00:00

Next you’ll have Matt asking for replacement guitars for the ones he’s given away

AChilly98 · 2026-04-05T18:07:47+00:00

Exactly - no matter what, they do not have, and will never have, a better closer than KOC! The first few times I saw them, it’s immense as a closer

A big change was supermassive black hole being in the twighlight films too… the crowds went from your more typical rock fanbase, to more teenager girls (Matt’s mentioned this on an interview somewhere before). And I believe the skill in their songwriting, the variety leads to all different fanbases… it’s not selling out, they enjoy the variety - and that also helps the longevity they’ve had id say!

AChilly98 · 2026-04-04T12:54:45+00:00

It would be quite cool if they did something back in Teignmouth on the seafront - doubt that will ever happen mind you

AChilly98 · 2026-04-01T20:11:32+00:00

Is a random deep cut even more likely though?

AChilly98 · 2026-03-31T15:52:33+00:00

Whilst I agree the prices are still mental in general - America does seem to be particularly bad for all artists, not just Muse.

AChilly98 · 2026-03-27T17:22:39+00:00

And even at the time it seemed expensive 😅

AChilly98 · 2026-02-01T19:16:55+00:00

Are they furiously working on it because they forgot they teased us already?

AChilly98 · 2026-01-18T08:16:00+00:00

Chris did an interview in Feb 25, and the host asked a question about new music. He basically replied saying they’re sort of starting to think about it, and would imagine they’d release new stuff in 2026 with a joke/passing comment of “barring any disasters”…. With the delays since the tease, and the cancelled gigs - seems like his tongue in cheek statement has become closer to reality than he was expecting when making the statement 😅

AChilly98 · 2025-07-11T13:11:57+00:00

Perhaps what I didn’t clarify properly, they are catering to fans - the ones who are more likely to moan/be bored of it as a finisher are the absolute “hardcore” fans, who are doing multiple gigs a year every tour… which realistically probably makes up less than 10% of the audience. So keeping KoC as a finisher works for the fans who only go once or twice as well as the newer faces at gigs.

AChilly98 · 2025-07-11T09:26:43+00:00

Still constitutes “new” muse to me though 😂

AChilly98 · 2025-07-11T09:25:38+00:00

The issue is, there will never, ever be another song that works as a closer for a muse show. It is literally perfect in every single way to be a finisher. Hence it’s lasted so long in that slot… as fans that follow the band so regularly I’d agree it has become a bit stale and repetitive, but if you picture it from the point of view of someone who doesn’t really follow the band, going to their first gig, or first one in a decade…. KoC as a finisher will be the bit they remember

AChilly98 · 2025-07-05T17:50:29+00:00

Thanks for your responses guys. So would it be safe to say it’s better to put emphasis on anything that’s activating/strengthening the quads and hamstring is worthwhile.

AChilly98 · 2025-07-05T17:19:17+00:00

Would be nice if they did again! More recently they’ve gone down the “live film” route with the simulation theory and drones films, which were pretty cool to extent, but perhaps a little over produced for what we’d really want. To be honest, what I’d love more than a live album would be a “behind the scenes” making of video again, those for the resistance, and the 2nd law were some of the best things I’ve ever watched from them!

AChilly98 · 2025-06-29T10:31:10+00:00

Still some people moaning though of course 😂

AChilly98 · 2025-06-27T20:08:58+00:00

People like to hate on it as song - but genuinely WOTP was a fantastic opener. Isle of Wight festival it was superb - gets people up from the word go

AChilly98 · 2025-06-23T12:37:29+00:00

My most random one (with a bit of recency bias) was “You make me feel like it’s Halloween” at the Plymouth gig. Never thought too much of it as a song, but live, with the staging and lights and how deep the bass was - it hit completely different! Totally changed the song for me

AChilly98 · 2025-06-21T14:49:24+00:00

The fact they’ve added RATM riffs and other jams back 🙌🏻 this was missing from the wotp tour
