They're hardly completely different though are they? Fairly close when you consider the whole spectrum of music genres.

About as close as folk is to punk at this stage imo.

Both of these are called dubstep:

Do you hear the similarities? I don't…

Nope. Metal is the parent genre. Nu metal is a child of that parent. Tis all metal.

Skrillex is Dubstep. Bad Dubstep. Any research will tell you that.

Skrillex is dubstep in the same way as house music is disco music.

to me, Skrillex and all that other noisey, mostly-American mid-range stuff is brostep.
similarly, that noise at the end of the trailer isn't dubstep. it's lacking any discernible dub or 2step influences.

just like how dubstep isn't 2step garage or DnB.
or grime isn't hiphop.

Can you guys take your expert "well researched" opinions to PM or something?

I was well pissed there was no date in Dublin for the European tour! Almost wet myself with excitement when I saw there was a European tour.. I am very disappoint..

Mushy

Plenty of days between Manchester and Munich, although don't know why they wouldn't just announce them at the same time. I don't have much money for tickets now though either, and want Foos tickets too so maybe its not the worst thing.

Not sure what you mean. Are you seeing the two threads combined or is that a comment on the arguing on thread? Either way I'm confused.



Anyway here comes the mod part:

Can we leave the what is/isn't dubstep stuff please? It's starting to take the thread off-topic.

Same here, both on phone and laptop. Between that and the snobby bollox being talked about genres it's complete thread spoiling.

The dubstep bit sounds a bit like the stuff they've been doing as the intro to Supermassive black hole, except recorded and with some added "wubs".

Thread cleaned up. Gremlins expunged.

It's definitely a cack self-important promo vid. I won't watch it again.

But I certainly won't make any assumptions of the bands direction etc based on about 2 minutes of Matt Bellamy whacking off his guitar while dancing on an FX pedal, or pressing the "Orchestral Stings" button on his Casio Keyboard!

He does that stuff all the time, and we still end up with a very typical Muse album, which so far I've enjoyed

Any word on an Irish date?

*sigh* no..

European dates released, on sale.. still not a word bout an Irish date.

Muse are set to debut their brand new single, 'Unsustainable', tomorrow (June 27) evening on BBC Radio 1, reports Muselive.com.

The station will premiere the track at 7.30pm (BST) on Zane Lowe's show. The track is rumoured to be linked to the Olympics. For more information visit bbc.co.uk/radio1.

Muse recently unveiled the trailer for their new studio album. To watch the trailer, which ends with the words 'The 2nd Law' and 'September 2012', scroll down to the bottom of the page and click.

The band's new album is the follow-up to 2009's 'The Resistance' and has been recorded in London. Little has been revealed about the album so far, but bassist Chris Wolstenholme previously said that the band wanted to do "something radically different" on their new LP.

The Devon trio will play five shows across the UK in October. The gigs begin at Glasgow's SECC on October 24, before the band move onto London's O2 Arena for two shows on October 26 and 27. They then play Birmingham LG Arena on October 30 before finishing up at Manchester Arena on November 1.

Hmmmmmmmmm

From Muse's twitter, sounds ominous.

New song 'Survival' has been selected by the Olympics to be the main official song for the London 2012 Olympics

Matt wrote the song with the Olympics in mind - it's about total conviction and pure determination to win

The song will be played throughout the games within stadiums and on international sports TV coverage

hypermuse

Yea its all totally official now..

As much as I am excited to hear it, I'm very apprehensive how it'll sound as it'll have to appeal to a whole world wide audience and may not have much of a muse sound to it.

I can see it ending up very generic and very poppy just to suit the masses!
I'm hoping its more of an orchestral sound that's unashamedly way over the top!

Love is forever.. oh sweet Jesus no!

hypermuse

for those of you as eager as I am to hear the new song..

here are 2 leaked snippets accompanied by some Olympic images.

I dunno... very cheesy from the clips above

But i guess with that, they've given really nothing away as far as melodies or guitar riffs are concerned

Racket

Oh my, the previews already have me salivating. I just can't see it being anything now other than amazing, powerful, fun and most importantly MAD! Not to mention the cheese, good cheese.

iMuse

Confirmed that only one song will be dubstep sounding, thank fcuk.

here here!! I like the way they try different things but I think that woulda be a step to far!

hypermuse

oh n I just listened to the song on BBC radio 1!!


Song itself is pretty rocking!! love it but the vocals and lyrics seem quite boring and bland.. Just 1st impression thou.. Gonna give it another few listens now..

hypermuse

Here it is including the intro/prelude part!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt__jKWoYH8

miralize

First listen didnt like it. Immediately warmed up to it. The lyrics are as suspected cheesy, but it is really just a bit of Muse-centric fun!

Xavi6

Oh dear, what a crock of shit

Mike Litoris

Oh yes. I'm hearing some Queen(Brian May), ELO amongst other madness. I love it. For me, it's better than 80% of what was on Resistance.

miralize

They also announced that the dubstep song will be the only one on the album and that they're using real instruments to create the sounds

budgemook

Lyrics and Singing are shockingly bad. It sounds like a novelty song The Darkness would come out with. Kind of ironic seeing as how poorly Matt thought of The Darkness.

The last 2 minutes are good though!

dan185

hahaha that's gas.

Can't make up my mind about it!

Its VERY ELO...like something from Eldorado. Not sure what I make of it.

Anyone else think the first few verses of vocals sound line Queens 'We are the Champions' ?

no.. just sound cheesy as **** but I expected as much considering its an Olympic song!

Wouldn't say they're rocking, more like overblown fret-w*nkery!

Race, life’s a race
And I am gonna win
Yes, I am gonna win

And I’ll light the fuse
And I’ll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won’t pull ahead
I’ll keep up the pace
And i’ll give you my strength
To the whole human race
Yes I am prepared
To stay alive
And I won’t fogive, vengance is mine
And i won’t give in
Because I choose to thrive

Seriously, just fuck off with that nonsense :mad:

(And yes, I realise that Bellamy has never been lyrically gifted but this is below even his usual standards)

iMuse

Can't say Im too excited for the album after hearing survival and that teaser.

I think it smacks more of "My Way" but didn't really want to admit it.:p

UnknownSpecies

Horrendous lyrics, no two ways a bout it. Hopefully this was just because of the Olympics and he cops on for the rest.

Corholio

Had to laugh when I heard the song to be honest. Those lyrics could haunt them forever. Pretty awful song and the music dosent save it either, ill second the 'fret wankery' comment above.

KnowYourEnemy

I had always hoped this day wouldn't come, but deary me, they're losing me fast

miralize

I dunno. The lyrics are obviously ****, but it's definitely growing on me, if only just a bit. Better than NSC though

dont ever mention that please **shudders**

I actually prefer NSC.

I prefer NSC too - cracking solo and so anthemic !

Album cover

^^ album cover ^^looks like the bristles of a psychedleic brush!! whats it meant to be,abstract art of some sort?

Mushy

Could be anything really.

hypermuse

It looks a neural network of a brain....

What the colours mean I don't know but it looks like a sagittal section of a brain to me! The blue lines look like nerves that are coming up from the brainstem/spine into the brain...
