Muse uprising3/25/2023 ![]() ![]() And hey, they have a budget! So it sounds like actual big, meaty early ’80s sleaze-disco, including the stinging two-note guitar hook. Michaelangelo Matos: At long last, Muse goes electroclash. I never thought I’d be saying this, but Muse really need to start thinking outside the box. It’s as inspiration free as a daytime soap opera. Sure, the palette contains a few more colours than Serge and his gang would ever consider using, and Matt’s voice instantly raises this track above the workmanlike, but listen to that chugga, chugga guitar. Singer rides his boogie to the rescue, like Mighty Mouse, and the Cossacks raise their eyebrows in “fright.” I have no idea if this song is serious – “They will not control us/We will be victorious” – but it’s a pisser.ĭoug Robertson: For a band who pride themselves on the scale of their ambition and their ability to embrace both the sublime and the ridiculous in the sort of pudding that lacks not for eggs, this sounds an awful lot like something Kasabian would come up with. I preferred Muse when they were screechy rather than sludgy.įrank Kogan: A haunted house inhabited by friendly ghosts and freelance Cossacks. Bellamy ignores his ability to write ridiculously silly guitar riffs and settles for some poor-man’s-QOTSA schaffle dirge. ![]() Matt Cibula: I know they’re supposed to be the most awful prog-twats in the history of whatever but damn if they don’t steal all the right riffs here and put them together in a lovely way. If you don’t find that high-functioning absurdism quite irresistible then I dunno what I can do for you really. Peter Parrish: Matt Bellamy has written Ron Paul: The Musical and channeled the Doctor Who theme through Goldfrapp. Not so good, but gains points for being far less horrible than their Bo-Rhap abomination. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Now imagine Muse doing it. Martin Skidmore: Imagine mashing up the Doctor Who theme with Blondie’s “Call Me”.
