The songs starts off with guitar riffs as well, and has a very distinct beat.
Then, when you think the weirdness is over, you get “Break It To Me”. The track is smooth, has sound effects and is just, well, weird. Instead, the song suddenly transitions into something similar to a Prince song. “Propaganda” opens up with the word ‘propaganda’, accompanied with heavy guitar riffs. But for me, listening to it for the first time, it was really too much. I mean, I know Muse is a band that likes to experiment and I’m all for that. There were two moments whilst listening to the album at which I actually screamed out loud “WHAT THE This was during “Propaganda” and “Break It To Me”. The song has the same atmosphere as “Algorithm” but the chorus hits a more pop song direction. The same goes for the last song of the album, “The Void”. The song feels like the soundtrack of a threatening dystopian science fiction movie.
It’s a slow but determined introduction into the album. Let’s have a look at the songs we haven’t discussed yet. I must say, his description is quite accurate. There are also songs that are clearly influenced by 80’s pop culture. He mentioned one song reminds him of Prince, another one has influences of Rage Against The Machine, and yet another one has a Linkin Park vibe to it. According to him, the album is quite weird, with so many different styles and influences. Before I listened to the complete album, I already got an idea of the sound via the description of a colleague who had already listened to it. Five songs that all sound so different from each other so that you had absolutely no idea what the album would sound like. It’s catchy, it’s powerful, and it has cool sounds effects with horns and awesome guitar riffs. The song reminds me of “Panic Station” off The 2nd Law which I absolutely adore.įive songs before the album release. My favorite of these three tracks and my favorite of the whole album is “Pressure”. You can clearly hear the song is being influenced by the 80’s.
#MUSE SIMULATION THEORY SONGS MOVIE#
“The Dark Side” kind of feels like the Disney movie Tron from 1982. It’s very simplistic and easy-going, and describes the tiredness of touring all the time and having a feeling of homesickness. “Something Human” sounds more like a pop song. These three songs are just like what “Dig Down” and “Thought Contagion” had totally different from each other.
The lyrics perfectly fit in a world where more than ever our thoughts are influenced by the media and people around us.Īfter that, on the 20th of July 2018 together with the announcement of the Simulation Theory’s release date, came “Something Human”, followed up by “The Dark Side” and “Pressure”. What a difference it was compared to “Dig Down”! I immediately liked the sound of it darker, more critical and just more what I personally expected of Muse. To me, it felt unfinished. Then, more than half a year later on the 15th of February this year, their second single “Thought Contagion” was released. It felt as if the song could do and have so much more. The song has a lot of synthesizers in it and even though you also can hear they are experimenting again, I didn’t like the sound of it. I recall I didn’t like the song when I first listened to it. On the 18th of May 2017, the first single “Dig Down” was released. This resulted in a couple of single releases accompanied by music videos before the album was dropped. Rather than concentrating on the album as a whole, which Muse usually does, they decided to focus on recording and mixing one track at a time. Not only in regards to the music, but also in regards to the process of the album. Simulation Theory, the 8th studio album of Muse, is different.
