What other songs should I check out from Muse?

See a lot reactors shocked by them bringing the heavy, but it's actually not new for them. Admittedly their new music has been a bit more experimental with digital sounds or rock opera feels. Funny enough, their radio singles were always my least favorite songs on the album but seem to be chosen because they appeal to more audiences. I always loved their classical styling over aggressive rock riffs/hooks.

The producer of this album hinted the album gets heavier as well, so definitely excited for this!! Songs u shld check out include: New Born, Stockholm Syndrome, The Small Print, Hysteria, Assassin, Knights Of Cydonia(my personal favourite)

Was never really crazy about Muse until last year when I checked out their discography beyond their radio singles and holy shit, I was blown away. Specifically with their orchestral rock material and just how epic they sound. It honestly is some of the most best cinematic rock music I have ever heard. Muse is that band whose singles do not justice for them.

"old stuff" that is "heavy muse" to check out: Stockholm Syndrome, Assassin (Grand Omega Bosses edit), Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra, Hysteria, Yes Please, Knights of Cydonia, Unsustainable, Dead Star, In Your World, Micro Cuts (remixx), Futurism (remixx), Citizen Erased (remixx), New Born, Survival, Liquid State, Psycho, Hyper Music Not as old, but probably new to you: The Handler, Reapers, Blockades. Edit: For Assassin, I'd recommend the live version from their concert at "The Mayan".

I'm loving Muse's return to their roots with some harsh vocals, some sick overdriven gutiars and just fun to listen to, reminds me of Origin of Symmetry songs like hysteria, plug in baby, space dementia and meglomania. Can't wait to see what else comes out from them, but I loving that they're frustrated and pissed cause it works great with their sound, as well as you said the nice depth of musical layers...just need more music

I have NOT seen enough people recommending their song Dead Star, it’s arguably almost as heavy as this song in a lot of ways

This was a surprise to me as a big muse fan I was not expecting this and I freaking love it. So glad to see that Muse is back 🤘

When the pandemic hit in 2020 and then the riots and everything, I thought "well... at least Muse will come through this with a slamming album... they'll get inspiration from this whole mess."

I believe it was produced by Dan Lancaster, who’s known for producing Bring me & A day to Remember so cool he brought that heavy in there!

This reminds me of good old Dead Star. A song when Muse turned into a metal band for a moment

I'll give you one from each of their albums: Showbiz - Unintended Origin of Symmetry - Citizen Erased Absolution - Stockholm Syndrome Black Holes and Revelations - Map of the Problematique Uprising - Unnatural Selection The 2nd Law - Panic Station Drones - Reapers Simulation Theory - Break It to Me Also, pretty sure Won't Stand down is either in Drop B or B-standard tuning, but they've gone lower than that before ;)

I am a muse fan and they would normally be considered a bit light for my taste but damn this is good. Love muse love this song

So nice to hear heavy muse again 🔥

It seems most folk completely miss the relevance behind the lyrics. The track has another title; 'Living Vicariously', & may be better described by a phrase 'Psychological Warfare' - from the song itself. It's about a world-wide psychological battle between a few old men (dude in a wheel chair) & the mindless pawns (represented by those under his control). So the one singing the words is standing firm; outside the visuals - getting stronger by refusing to 'stand down', refusing to surrender to the systemic game of manipulation by the slave-master over the masses of hapless slaves. A great song with incredibly intelligent lyrics by a most relevant band indeed.

Trust me once you get to their older stuff, the non commercial,non radio-friendly ones, you will fall down in the rabbit's hole. Their song Stockholm Syndrome is pretty heavy too! I recommend reacting to their live performance from wembley

Muse has some reasonably heavy stuff and that's credit to their creativity and their experimentation. I wish I could direct you to a certain album, but their heavy songs are dispersed all over the place. A few of their heaviest songs are definitely Citizen Erased from Origin of Symmetry, Dead Star from the Dead Star EP, Stockholm Syndrome from Absolution, Assassin from Black Holes and Revelations and Reapers from Drones. To be honest, heavy or not, you really can't go wrong with their first 3 albums.

Muse is good at defying expectations musically without each album and song in the directions it can go in with the experimental sounds. This song is a great example of that. This is essentially the heaviest Muse song so far with the guitar effects and riffs along with the drums to a degree. Of course heavy is relative in music to a degree also, but I feel this song mixes their earlier sounds of Origin of Symmetry, hint of Absolution, but more Drones as it was a heavier sounding album to me and then the experimental electronic sounds of 2nd Law. I feel we are in for a treat with the rest of the album.

the tuning is a standard 7 string guitar in B, something lower can be found in Citizen Erased in drop A (that I know of at least)

Can't wait for the album to drop. Keep in mind that the producer used the hashtag #anditgetsheavier and #hornsup when describing what's coming...yeah! 🤘🤘🤘

I love Muse's older albums and this song is like a dream come true. Was actually surprised by how alt-metally it was. Muse & BMTH tour in the future maybe?

Im pretty sure they used drop B for this song. I think that Matt(Guitarist and Singer) uses a 7 string and Chris(bass player) might be using a 5 string.

Muse seem to have a central sound, which they supplement with different genres to hook new fans to their brand. I started listening with Drones (specifically Reapers) but I know people who were hooked with Starlight, Dig Down and other slight outliers from their style.

You should checkout Stockholm syndrome by them, specifically live Glastonbury 2004. That’s there good heavier older stuff.

What’s up boissss, hyped for this reaction!

Sounds really good. Blended well with a touch of a heavy riffage and melodic dynamics. 🔥🤘🏽

Oh damn. Nice to see ads that actually fit the aesthetic of a channel. Right on, mate 🤙🏼

Wow! Didn’t expect that! 😮🤘🏻🔥 Awesome song.

more MUSEEE pls Origin of Symmetry from 2001 is probably their heaviest album, new born, plug in baby, citizen erased, hyper music all bangers

So happy you actually react to Muse! Great reaction as usual, huuuuge song! 🌟

My buddy is a huge muse fan since their earlier days. He sent me this track they just dropped and I was amazed tbh. Banger for sure 😈

Everyone saying Stockholm Syndrome....did you actually mean Hysteria? It's a great song but it's just peaking it's head into metal. Absolution is a great album, maybe don't listen to me because my favorite track is Endlessly....the live version one with the organ, that's a real treat.

Glad you like it! If you want to check out some of their heavier tracks I'd recommend a live performance of Stockholm Syndrome (for example Rock am Ring 2004)

The prechorus riff is very very similar to Parasite Eve by Bring me the horizon, the part after the first verse.

Muse became my favorite band about 5 years ago, I just randomly started listening to some of their greatest hits and the one thing I can say about being a new Muse fan, is that they have an expansive pallet of taste and style. Most people who don't dig a lot of their more experimental stuff most likely have a pretty shallow palette for music because Muse has never really changed. They have only tried anything and everything that they thought they wanted to do. And that's why I respect them because they do it all so well. I also think we need more rock bands with more uplifting or insightful lyrics. Everything is so dark now, it wears on you listening to dark shit Non-Stop. Long live MUSE!

Their last album was disappointing but I'll agree this is a lot better! I've been a fan of them for quite a while and I really want their next album to hit it out the park and heavy muse I ❤️❤️❤️

Your review is the best I’ve watched soo far,I’ve waited for a track like this from Muse for a long long Time..

Muse always surprises... In the best possible way this time

Damn, Muse bringing the heat again! BAAAAAAAAAAAAANGER!

Thier album Absolution is one of my all time favorite albums.

Stockholm syndrome, Assassins, Dead Star , The Small Print(I love this one) and some other songs in their first 3 albums are heaviest that this one.

It's drop B. If you like heavy muse go listen to assassin, the handler, reapers, stockholm syndrome. But honestly this is another string to their bow of styles, they haven't really gone this heavy before (at least the breakdown).

Loving this track, it's got elements of newer Muse combined with older tracks, and some novel elements too - I hear some Dead Inside, Map of the Problematique and Hysteria in this track, but its also got a breakdown which is way heavier than anything they've done before (except live) - and from what I hear the rest of the album is going to have some heavy tracks in it... to say I'm excited is an understatement

Their best songs in long time

Assassin has a great drum bit and rif , this guys can do all from classic rock to ballads to electronic till now where they add some metal

My favorite MUSE song in over a decade.

Nice review 👌🏻 This song couldn’t come at a better time when most other mainstream bands are just following in lock step with all this government over reach. I’ve been asking, where are the classic rebellious of rock!? Here we go 🤘🏻

It also makes it so much better when you know the lore behind all of their other work. This vid makes references to their drones album, particularly the track The Handler. Watch a live version of The Handler from their Drones tour and you’ll see what I’m talking about!! In this song Matt becomes the handler which has very interesting implications for the direction the album will take!! I love muse so much I could write you an essay in much greater detail about how parts of their work piece together lol

I feel like you might like hullabaloo live concert they did, a lot of their heavier songs were played and it shows off their older sound

Matt is such a good vocalist. This track is really good.

This will probably be more fresh and better than drones,i liked Drones,Simulation was kinda meh,T2L was also kinda meh,but their first 5 are masterpieces From what ive heard you are not that familiar with muse,and you should get more into them,i think you will like them..listen to whole Absolution,one of my top 5 albums of all time,alt rock,with prog basically,their early days were so progressive ,not in a dream theater way,but in what they did to music,a hard rock song with piano,bass and drums? Apocalypse please, thrash/punkish song? The small print. Lamb of god kinda riffs ? Stockholm syndrome.

Just played my guitar I That’s tuned to drop c. I think this track is closer to drop B!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Must be the tuning of 2022, Bullet for my Valentine are tuned down to drop B now after years of using drop C

Tuning was just standard 7 string or baritone B standard. Muse has done songs before in drop A with Supremacy, The Globalist and Citizen Erased

I really only know like maybe two songs from these guys, I thought this was pretty cool tho

You need to check out their second and third albums, Origin of Symmetry and Absolution. Both have some seriously heavy rock-out bangers that will hit you as hard as this one. Standouts include Plug-In Baby, Hysteria, Stockholm Syndrome, Citizen Erased and Apocalypse Please.

The only con I had was that it needed an epic 2 min outro maybe with a solo. Other than that, Fcking perfect song

Grabbed my guitar as soon as I heard the first heavy riff, it’s either in drop B or a seven string in standard (which would be more fitting considering Matt Bellamy’s habits)

I am really surprised you did not check new Pridelands stuff, check Heavy Tongue it was released today, so far this band is a great discovery for me. Pleasantly surprised.

This song took me back to the absolution days, it's so awesome!!

I covered this vocally on my channel, yeah he is doing a whole lot of stuff vocally but still doing the same style, its the featured video on my channel. His vocals are always hard he sings like Freddie Mercury because its mostly his vocal influence, both sing like opera singers, isolated vocals from both show this very clearly and the breathing he always needs to do that, everyone does if singing like that. Its the only way you will make it through that many words without running out of breath. Link to my video I will put in the reply to this comment. Anyone wanna tell me how I did they can give a listen and let me know. I mix differently and have a different tonality to my voice so its gonna sound a little different. Good video I enjoyed your reaction.

BTW, what do you think about the beginning - like taken from A-ha "Take on me"?)

That was a banger

They’re just reminding people they’re still capable 😉 I loved “The Dark Side” off Simulation Theory.

If I remember correctly they've done drop A in 1 or 2 songs as well

Interesting direction for them. Reminds me of Imagine Dragons but with more guitar and drums.

Hey nice reaction. You're one of the only channels that seems to bother actually analyzing the song after listening to it, rather than just peacing out.

Call me crazy but there's a guitar part that reminded me of Hurt You by Spiritbox. But anyway...I love Muse and thoroughly enjoy this song!

Loving this side of Muse, amazing band! This sounds like is tunned to B, some songs in the past were also even in A

The most metal song Muse has ever put out

yup ! this is (old)MUSE , their back!!!

It’s like muse meets architects.. and im here for it.

Black holes and revelations was one of the albums that got me into music, if you have free time I would definitely recommend a listen

BTW the tuning is Drop B

This is OG Muse. Glad they are back.

their first 2 albums are musical genius after that a few songs here and there. I hope this new album is chock full of dope

BRING ME THE MUSE

you want heavy stuff to make a heavy banger, listen to Stockholm syndrome, dead star, reapers, assassin, micro cuts, citizen erased, hyper music, mk ultra, Knights of cydonia OF COURSE and thats my recomendations. Muse is my favorite band of all time, and if i listen heavy music is thanks to them, is this moment i listen a lot to Gojira, Meshuggah and Opeth and all that thx to Muse

I love when metalhead react this shocked 😅😆

Muse being the original Muse 🤘🏻I became a fan about 20 years ago when they were heavier. Matt got me into playing guitar. Then they tried pop, and electro etc. You need to check out Matt's live guitar solos... It will blow your mind 💯🎸

Really need to react to “Knights of Cydonia.”

Just watch the Hullbaloo live show (formerly known as dvd).

Loving the honest reaction! honestly very relatable haha! You should react to Big Cat by Atomic Guava! :D

Just look at Muse from 16 years ago...by far their best since

Definitely check out "Assassins - Live at The Mayan"

Check out the Stockholm Syndrome at Pinkpop Festival in 2004 video on youtube. Esspecialy the ending where they break their equipment. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZmaacxl0qymcWw.html And Assassin live at the Mayan is also a great one.

First BAND cover of that song right here ! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erGJntqF2dC5ZHk.html

We need an extended version of this song.

The only heavy Muse song that can compare to this is probably Supremacy, freaking love that one!

It gave me strong Andrew W.K. Vibes. This was amazing tho. The guitar just shreds on that breakdown

I love MUSE. Probably my favorite band of all time. I love that they returned to a much more heavy sound (though their last few albums did have some songs like that). But, I can't help but think they keep trying to write songs to like sell to sports networks like Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco etc have done. Like that terrible Olympics song they tried to do. The lyrics are just so basic and shallow compared to their first few albums.

I dont listen to Muse but as soon as those vocals came in, I automatically saw why people were comparing Thornhill - Casanova to Muse along with Deftones

This new song, is lite compared to the old albums but we love it still

Damn this is fuxxin fire

Dude, their first 3 albums are soooooo much better than their newer stuff. This new song is pretty damn good bringing back their old school sound again.

Old shit LETS Goooooooo

Please react to nekrogoblikon. It’s a must

This one is a banger.

I swear these guys are prophets. The new album is about the western world being thrown into chaos including the potential for war in Europe, this song in particular is about standing up to bullies whether they be on the playground or your government or a bigger neighbour... the video for this very song was filmed somewhere extremely apt, Kyiv in Ukraine. And they aren't standing down to their bully :-)

Phénomènal talentueux brilliant génies MUSE Matt merci merci à vous réac parfait salutations de France 🇫🇷👍👏🎸 je suis hyper fan excellent

Anyone who knows and has followed muse for years isnt surprised how heavy this song is, just listen to stockholm, deadstar, assassin, hyper music, agitated etc
