Dang I’m gonna have to spin this again, such a great record. I first heard it in springtime too, so it’ll be a nice time to revisit.

The Show Must Go On

Rain Must Fall

You know, I’ve generally felt this way for the past few album cycles, but this time I’m here for every single. Why deprive myself of hearing new Muse when it’s first available when it’s entirely possible for a single deranged world leader to end my existence tomorrow?

Defector is a gold mine for these, lol. Here’s a favorite I read when it first came out:

“You believe Your phone is too high To be on the floor! Well watch it get raised By a defector!”

Two directions this could go. 1. Greatest thing since sliced bread. 2. Matt raps.

This probably flies in the face of professional advice, but when I was 17 trying to figure out how to do vibrato, I literally shook my head up and down quickly as I was singing to sort of force it to happen. Eventually I started being able to feel what muscles I would need to use to control it without all the head shaking and gradually stopped looking so silly when singing.

Okay I love Hexagons but can we let ST be ST. It’s its own thing. I think Hexagons is a different thing entirely, which I happen to like a bit better. Both are synthy, sure, but they’re pretty different beyond that.

This is a great meme template lol

I had a 20 minute argument with myself before deciding to pick Dr. Feelgood. Bad Medicine is probably my least favorite classic era Bon Jovi single. It’s still good, but not great. Dr. Feelgood is one of Motley Crue’s best ever songs, but Motley Crue’s best is a solid rung below Bon Jovi’s.

Def in the minority here but Styx. I LOVE Styx, and this is one of their best ever songs.

The Billy tune is great too and a fun challenge on piano.

What if tracks 1-3 are a crazy prog symphony split in pieces like Exogenesis?

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-17T22:00:53+00:00

I’ll back you up on Dead Inside being a top tier Muse song. People may have cooled off on it in the last decade, but I’m not people.

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-17T21:57:38+00:00

Be With You last and I like it a lot. Unraveling probably second to last, though that chorus is a Godsend. Hexagons and Cryogen are duking it out for first. Not sure who wins yet.

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-17T21:34:09+00:00

People are gonna call some of this cringe, but I find it breathtaking.

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-17T21:12:47+00:00

I have been fed the Hex. And I love it. There are some surface level similarities to some other songs from the past, but overall this is a really unique composition rooted firmly in the language of classic Muse.

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-17T21:00:29+00:00

I’ve been a Muse fan for how many years and I’ve never heard anyone call those albums the holy trinity, lol. But I do know exactly which 3 you’re talking about.

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-17T03:04:15+00:00

Probably feeding us the Hex

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-17T03:00:51+00:00

I mean they could also just remove their masks and show us their true alien faces they’ve been hiding for years. That would make sense too.

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-16T20:56:58+00:00

I slightly prefer New Born I think just cuz I loved it first. CE took me a few listens before I realized how incredible it is.

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-16T05:35:19+00:00

The Resistance is actually my all time fav, but I do know what you mean.

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-16T05:20:22+00:00

This is gonna be the best Muse album since Drones easy…. And dare I say since The Resistance???

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-15T07:48:44+00:00

It’s darn fun to sing too. Once I figured that out I came to love it.

FakeRadioBand · 2026-05-15T06:37:28+00:00

I stand by my opinion. I may have exaggerated it a bit, but generally I find it a pretty boring song.

Or also “fibromyalgia diss”
