Blockflote Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Do you read THIS? Actually, I think ETIAW corresponds to Hysteria. I don't compare which is better, however I think they're powerful songs compared to the songs behind them. Something like: 6. "Falling Away with You" 4:40 - 5. "Us Against the World" 7. "Interlude" 0:37 - 6. "M.M.I.X." 8. "Hysteria" 3:47 - 7. "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" It's a comparison of conceptual effect, more than anything. And I really like this one too: :P 4. "Sing for Absolution" 4:54 - 4. "Charlie Brown" Two huge songs. :uneasy::book2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Yeah but, do you think that ETIAW is powerful? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplayman232 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Considering the things we already know. Let's see...ETIAW and Paradise vs Stockholm Syndrome and TIRO... this just makes me laugh, Muse is so much better considering both songs. Muse sounds so superior than coldplay. The comparisons are dumb. Absolution is great I doubt MX will be that good if we already consider they released two bad singles than even in the coldplay fanbase are disliked by lots of people. Since the album is from 2003 its more fair to compare it to AROBTTH of coldplays work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The Muse is a decent well known band, while Coldplay is an amazing world renown band! No way are they in the same league! The Muse? Water you talking about. :| Anyway, please don't compare Absolution and Mylo Xyloto, they're just . . . .uncomparable. I mean, seriously? As for singles, Time is Running Out vs. ETIAW and Hysteria vs. Paradise (just picked out two random Muse singles). Come on. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admnistramation Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 If there's any forgettable song off of Absolution, god forbid, it'd be The Small Print. Time Is Running Out is mmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm good. :dazzled: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Absolution? Forgettable? Those two words do not go together! :whip: :P Anyways, to answer the OP, I don't really see any similarities. It's not uncommon for an artist to use a/ a few short, instrumental pieces to break up the album a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lihyahm Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 We don't even know that M.M.I.X. is a interlude or anything yet - people have just assumed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockflote Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Yeah but, do you think that ETIAW is powerful? :lol: Nobody catch my point :( And yes, I think ETIAW is powerful.. Have a lot of loud sounds, and it move yourself to get some dance. It's not powerful in the same way than Hysteria, which is an awesome rock song. But yes, it is. Besides, I'm comparing it with the track behind them (Falling Away With You - Us Against The World). It's so hard to understand? :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyrd Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Yup, I still don't get it. You say the tracklisting is very similiar, but I only see that they both have 14 tracks. You also mention that two of Muse's tracks are short and that Mylo Xyloto and M.M.I.X. could be short as well, but that's where you already loose me, because we don't know how long those songs will be. Why do you think they will be short? Just because then it looks like Muse's tracklist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I compare those albums because both of them are conceptual. But well, we have to wait to MX. But it's only a probability. @Batmotor if you don't like it go and comment on other thread. There are many. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I love Muse, and I love all their stuff, which is more than can be said for Coldplay (X&Y). But I will say that I've seen both at Wembley, and the Coldplay gig felt like the best day of my life at the time. They're just... special.

Lore Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I've seen them both and only after Muse I said "wow, this is the best concert I've ever seen" :P (well, until I saw Paul McCartney, but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 The thread title really pissed me off. Then I saw the discussion was merely about track listing, so I was OK. Then I saw some of the ridiculous posts in here, and I just got pissed again. I can't even try to dignify some of the nonsense in here with a response.

Hartroc Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I hate Muse. Seriously, I won't deny that they're talented guys (Chris Wolstenholme is a beast) but really? Their lyrics are usually worse than Coldplay's, and nearly every one of their songs sounds the same: Loud guitar riffs and irritating synth arpeggios. Their ballads are subpar at best. They have some good songs, but...ugh. Sorry, not my style. If I had to pick though, Absolution is by far their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
