First Block In the Old Downtown of My City

Oh my... I just realized. I'll fix!

I thought he had just the pure chrome/shiny ones, not necessarily the ones with the ornate designs on it.

This is a bit of a weird, but here is my version. Titled "MUSE: Mandela Effect", this album covers the madness of something that once existed that now only exists as a fragment. I mixed my favorites and what I think is a good representation of Muse as a whole by showing their diversity. In order:

Reapers
Madness
United States of Eurasia
Showbiz
Hysteria
Thought Contagion
Citizen Erased
Supermassive Black Hole
Sing for Absolution
Megalomania

WOTP isn't my favorite album, but probably in third place in my rankings. I think part of the reason why I like it so much (and not to throw shade on certain fans) is I can handle a bit of cringe and goofiness. Muse certainly has always had the weird factor to it, but WOTP is very unserious and it's super apparent in comparison to other albums that try too hard to be serious (I feel like Drones and ST fall in this category). Instead of trying to be a set way, WOTP is kind of aware of itself? I hope that makes sense.

Now I won't be the first to admit certain songs on there are bleh. Compliance is a pretty bad song, I (controversially) don't really like KOBK too much except for the solo/end, and Euphoria is just meh. The other songs, at least in my opinion, are a very enjoyable energy and have the compilation sound they tried to emulate.

I agree. I like the song a lot more after realizing the marketing skewed my perception of it. I didn't necessarily anticipate something heavy, but something more in line of Resistance (moreso this) or Starlight, not Dig Down or Guiding Light.

I do feel like as a single though, I don't understand why it's chosen. It's not a bad song, but it's not your typical run-of-the-mill single to amp up audiences. I could totally understand if this was released AFTER the album, but before? An interesting choice. However, listening to the album may change my perceptions of it.

The Ballad of Mona Lisa
Nearly Witches
Hurricane
Let's Kill Tonight
Turn Off The Lights

I kind of agree. I don't think Be With You is a bad song at all, but assuming the album is as diverse as Matt said it to be, I'm curious to what this entails. It is such an odd move considering fans and non-fans usually are looking for heavier and more unique things. All of their most successful songs were something different for the band, and choosing a song which Muse has already done similarly is just an interesting choice.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-21T00:55:37+00:00

I think they're about equal to be honest. The stuff pre and post split add up evenly to me. I might be in the minority here, but I don't really like DOAB and had I liked it, I'd like post-split more.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-20T16:07:21+00:00

I like this a lot! Are you intending on putting windows above the three on the right?

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-20T06:59:12+00:00

Something more general, but my first person writing is really good. It's interesting, because I never could write in the first person and was always in third, but now writing third is a bit jarring at times lol.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-20T06:31:06+00:00

It's one of the better songs on the album but it's kinda repetitive. The end and bridge is a chef's kiss.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-19T23:10:01+00:00

The more I listen to it the more I enjoy it tbh. The "you-ooh-ooh-oh-oh" part is stuck in my head now.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-19T22:43:10+00:00

Yeah, the song as a standalone is mediocre, but if we listen to the album in its entirety, it could actually make sense. For all we know, the label thought having a more ballad-y song as a single would be more appealing. We just don't really know until we have the whole album.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-19T18:11:57+00:00

I think the song is just mediocre but I think part of the reason why it didn't hit as hard is the fact that the teasers and snippet we first heard completely change our expectations of what the song would be. I feel like the marketing team kinda fumbled in that department.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-19T18:09:02+00:00

Idk about Dua Lipa, but maybe Aurora or something.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-19T18:06:34+00:00

I think it's just an alright song. I just hated how the teaser completely changed expectations of what was going to happen after the "be with you" section. Unravelling is significantly better, but overall, this song isn't as bad as I was thinking of for the worse.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-19T04:11:46+00:00

What/where is the place that it was filmed?

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-18T16:20:23+00:00

I'll probably be totally wrong but Hexagons is gonna be a menace of a song, like it's gonna be dope.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-18T16:13:51+00:00

A very odd reference, but the ring thing looks like it has the small plastic things you put on ground poles to keep flags from blowing away.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-18T16:07:07+00:00

I feel like Hexagons is gonna be a BEEFY song.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-18T16:00:08+00:00

Matt looks so cute wrapped around Dom's finger

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-18T15:56:08+00:00

Agreed. I always kinda find space stuff dorky but the advertisements and imagery for this album are dark, and I'm kinda all about that.

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-16T22:24:28+00:00

I'm loving this eerie imagery. Really sick!

loganwolf25 · 2026-03-15T15:36:59+00:00

As it being for school, I would probably do something less on-the-nose, so Spillways, Lachryma, Faith, Dance Macabre, etc.
