Well, we had to get to them at some point. This could be a return to the good old Showbiz days. Instead, he wanted stripped-down and more minimal and exposed as a three-piece band. In the NME in September, Matt said that they would try and be less bombastic on the next album. Possible evidence of this influence is seen in Debase Masons Grog with the bridge after the first chorus, a sort of congo Vietnam feel is evident.
Far Eastern influence could mean that the new album will have more interesting-sounding percussion and possibly more strings. The only thing that comes close to a Far Eastern influence in Muse's songs recently is the opening percussion sound in Falling Away With You. The prediction is that 11-13 songs will appear on the album, more B-sides (all Absolution singles had a measly three new songs) and some of them will probably be scrapped.Īs Matt wrote some songs in Bhutan, there might be a more Far Eastern influence. Chris also said in a French magazine recently that four or five have been written other than the new ones with 'some have come on a long way, whilst others are still in the conceptive state and need a lot of work.' This brings together a potential total of 22 songs. It really changes your whole concept."īut what do the lyrics mean? I had a close look at the lyrics and this is my theory, which may be very inaccurate considering all the different versions that are buzzing around the Muse fansites:ĭES: A very hard one this, but possible suggestions include religion, war and betrayal.Ĭrying Shame: A wild guess would be about someone who isn't considered good enough to be accepted ('When it's way too late/We'll cleanse the god/And consider you').īurning Bandits: The last two lines pretty much say it I think ('I'm waiting so patiently/But I'll wait for the truth').ĭebase Masons Grog: Not too sure on this either but I reckon religion and betrayal is likely.Īs far as we know, on a Canadian music program called Music Plus, 17 songs had been written for the new album and recently on Channel 4's teletext service, Matt said that whilst he was in Bhutan, he wrote another five. As soon as you play a song in a gig situation you really work out. "I think that's a good vibe - getting people on message boards to come, so you get the pressure of a gig. "What I'd love to do is get a little space in London, like a kind of thing where we can do private gigs to rehearse the songs before we record them. More than half of the tracks were road-tested beforehand.Īlso, they said in a short article in the NME in January that they might test out new songs. Their track record for early Origin Of Symmetry tracks is also pretty good. Apocalypse Please (then known as 'Emergency'), Hysteria ('I Want You Now') and The Small Print ('Action Faust') were all played and made it to Absolution, countering the B-sides of Fury ('Get A Grip') and Eternally Missed ('Rusty One'). However, their track record for testing out songs on the 2002 festival tour (not riffs like the Stockholm Syndrome riff, Butterflies & Hurricanes piano interlude and Falling Away With You jam) were on the album. The band thinks that if they play new songs live they appear as B-sides.
