This song is straight fire :whew
Kind of the perfection of the style they've been heading towards after Black Holes & Revelations. It's got everything. Come at me, bros.

Do people have to sexualize women the moment they see a naked woman? the people saying stuff like "fap" and/or "nice tits" aren't understanding the intention of the naked woman. its art/symbolism."
Boobs. Also I like Muse and am looking forward to this album.

Beat reminded me of this for some reason.

Dear Matthew,
I read your comments in the Guardian via Rolling Stone last week and feel like with a little work we could better understand each other.
As uncomfortable as it might be for you, I will still play your songs loudly. To me your songs are anthems that beg for choruses of unity and pose the fundamental question facing the world today – can man rule himself?
In the Venn Diagram of American politics, where the circles of crimson and blue overlap, there’s a place where you and I meet. It’s a place where guys who cling to their religion, rights, and guns, connect with godless, clinched-fist-tattoo, guys.
You seem to have a pretty good grasp of comparative U.S. and European politics, but maybe there’s a pattern that you’re underestimating. Throughout history, leaders have used music to lull young people into a sense of security and euphoria. They’ve used artists to create the illusion that they can run a country that keeps all the good and wipes out all the bad. Think Zurich 1916. Think artists getting behind guys like Lenin and Trotsky. Think of pop culture’s role in the Arab Spring. The youth rises up, power structures crumble, and worse leaders are inserted.
America, on the other hand, does not rely on leaders — we rely on the individual. Our country was built on the principles of mercy, justice, and charity — we ultimately believe that man left alone is good. That is a primary reason I disagree with Chomsky and others that you’ve touted.
American Libertarians understand that smaller government gives people freedom — the freedom to earn or lose, eat or starve, own or sell. The potential for wild success and happiness is tempered by an equal chance of failure. And it is all up to the individual to take control of their destiny.
This has been a debate since the founding of America, one that has often gotten confused. Even during the revolution — a period filled with the greatest minds to ever discuss the idea of freedom — there were the divisions that continue today. Robespierre or George Washington. OWS or the TEA Party.
Thomas Paine didn’t see the difference at first either — sometimes the difference is too subtle.
Yet the question is an easy one: Do you believe man can rule himself? Or does he need someone ruling over him to force him to be good and charitable?
That is the fundamental divide and everything else follows. Even though faith was important to our American patriots none of them forced Paine to believe. He chose his course and in the end is remembered as a critical patriot in establishing man’s first real freedom.
They understood that we don’t all have to be in the same boat. But rather, focused on the star chart: Are you headed toward freedom or despotism?
The power that American Libertarians like me want to pull down is power that limits the individuals right to roam and create.
Matthew, I realize that converts are pretty hard to come by when the stakes are so high and the spotlight so bright, but I thank you for singing words that resonate with man in his struggle to be free.
I wish I could leave well enough alone and just be quiet…
…but I’ve had recurring nightmares that I was loved for who I am and missed the opportunity to be a better man.
Good luck on the new record.
Glenn

You know, Comrade Beck is sort of known for his hilarious grasp of history (e.g. he named a book after Paine's Common Sense, a work that explicitly claims a national debt is a good thing) but using the date and birthplace of Dada here probably takes the cake.
-
So this is a thread for Muse fans and Libertarians? Yep just wanna make sure to make note of all the people I hate in this world.
-
Mercy sounds useless. Album still shaping up to be better than the last one or two.
They should NOT be doing lyrics videos though.
-
Yep. That sure does sound like another stinker.
-
I blame Cajole for all of this.

cacs know what they like. put this in rotation between styx and shania
-
I enjoy Handler (besides the lyrics... again).
-
rush stans said the same thing about rush*
*i like a few rush songs, just like i like a few muse songs. but go full stanley? lol. lol.

itt we have people pretending that prog rock ain't just absolute shit
-
king crimson disagrees, as does peter gabriel era genesis
muse is as much prog rock as dream theater or live were
-
There's only ever been one prog-ish band that wasn't absolute shit...
Radiohead
:heyman

Only if you agree to discuss the deep storyline in Coheed and Cambria's albums.

:busta

Comus :aah
-
Last time I hit up youtube to listen to a tool song most of the videos had "LYRICS+MEANING" in the title
-
Out in Europe.
Judging from a quick superficial listen: Yeah, nope. Got my hopes up for nothing. Dead Inside and Handler are the only ones worth a shit.

King Crimson :lawd :aah
Van Der Graaf Generator for one album :aah
