What does everyone think of the symphony? Is it any good?

personally i dont think its anything special. its just a..........symphony. to me it doesnt sound like he has achieved anything unique or ground breaking with it. nonetheless i think it will make for an amazing end to their shows. but i think its a pretty good record the only real problem i have with it is that it lacks the raw energy of their earlier work instead its become a little predictable. but thats fine with me, theyre still one of my fave bands and cant wait to see them live one day.

it did have a lot of hype around it, and i wish it was longer with much more guitar in Cross Pollination. but there wasn't.

 

It was good, Matt did a good job, may not have achieved anything but ended the album well.

 

Unnatural Selection drags on during the middle, which is the only part I don't like too much.

apart from that it's a good song

I tried to listen to it last night, but fell asleep during the 2nd or 3rd song...

i just bought the album. will listen to it now.

Finally got my hands on The Resistance!

Quite a good album in my opinion.

Definitely different to the kind of music I usually listen to.

The symphony to me is, well I think it's quite a beautiful piece but not something that's really powerful.

I think this album needs to be listened to as a whole to really appreciate it.

Anyone knows at which time will they perform tomorrow at the VMAs?

wondering the same thing is it on the "preshow" or in the actual award show

cant wait til tomorrow when i buy it :)

The first four tracks remain my favourites.

I've been listening to Uprising and United States of Eurasia for some time already and I really love them. Resistance and Undisclosed Desires are rather catchy tunes.

But Guiding Light is IMO a break in the "flow" of the album. I felt like I was beamed back to the '80s. Unnatural Selection is actually good, but at some point I just wanted it to stop ... it is way too long for my taste.

I'm starting to like MK Ultra, although I don't like it as much as the first four tracks.

I belong to you was rather unexpected, but in a nice way. It is IMO too long again though.

The symphony is not quite as epic as I expected, although I really love Part 3.

 

The Making of is quite interesting, I expected a bit more though. The making of Uprising is very detailed, but some other tracks are hardly mentioned.

I love how uprising is about the financial crisis

Unnatural selection is the new Stockholm Syndrome.

I like MK Ultra, Uprising, United States of Eurasia, The Symphonie, Unnatural Selection, Exogenesis. They're great. They come to Paris in November. I'll attend their concert.:bow:

MK Ultra is one of the songs of the year. That riff is just... *melts*

 

Very, very good album. Their best since Origin of Symmetry, no question.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

are you kidding me?

Anyone else seen the BBC Radio 1 coverage of the Teignmouth concert? Very good. Currently on Red Button on digital, so glad I have a decent hotel room with lots of satellite channels!

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

are you kidding me?

 

you have a go at howyousawtheworld for calling you opinions ignorant. now you're have putting down someone for loving an album that you dont think much of. you sir are a first class hypocrite.

Listening to the album more, and warming to MK Ultra. Still think 'Unnatural selection' goes 2 mins too long.

can't wait for the VMAs performance. I can't believe I'm watching MTV xD

i am here, did they play yet?

no, probably they'll play around the end of the show because they're doing a concert

yes, the concert i could not get tix to damn contests

:(

I want muse now!

its the birfday girl!!
