Advantages: Has an up-beat and rocky feel.The album has a lot of energy with Rocky theme tune like intros. Disadvantages: This album put me off the band.Dissapointing,noisy and messily composed.
This album really put me off the band and in my opinion their earlier album News and Tributes was much better. I found it dissapointing and really over the top on unbalanced energy.
Does it rock? Yeah I guess it does with some real punchy powerful songs that are a bit Maximo Park in feel. But the overal feel of this album is dissapointing as they seem to have tried to squish as much as possible into each song. The harmonies change suddenly, spiky guitar riffs and lots of up-tempo-pop shifts in the music. This makes it feel a bit too noisy or messy and they have lost much of the initial grace or simplicity that made them stand out from the rest.
Lyrically and vocally they dont really stand out either and all I can say is thank God ths isn't their first album as hopefully their existing fans will remain loyal and hope for a much ...
Advantages: superb detail using interviews with the band. Disadvantages: none
As my favorite band, i was very excited to be able to read more into their story and this book proved brilliant at explaining almost every aspect of muse's development as a band. It covers their upbringing in Teignmouth all the way to their amazing performance at Wembley Stadium. The level of detail is very high and even goes as far as to explain the music movements that occurred as muse developed, which highlighted how unique Muse are, and explains the meanings and influences behind each song. The book focuses mainly on Matt Bellamy, the lead singer and guitarist, but i would say this is a good thing because his story is the most interesting thanks to his incredible musical ability as well as his opinions and views on the world, both of which are detailed in this book. I would definately recommend this book as a great read for a keen ...
Advantages: Well Produced, some top moments Disadvantages: A little patchy, lacking in bite
With any sort of commercial success, the backlash normally follows pretty quickly - Fans of early Jimmy Eat World (Static Prevails, Singles) will find little hear to warm their punk rock cockles (rockles?)
Never the trendiest of bands, even at the height of their fame (around the time of 'Bleed American') It seems that Jimmy Eat World have settled into middle age, contented with life and sticking to the formula that served them so well (in popularity stakes) on their S/T/Bleed American album. The album starts strongly, with 'Big Casino' and 'Let it Happen' being the two hardest tracks on the album - Partially bringing back memories of the glory days of 'Clarity'. Mid-way through the album, it all gets a bit weak, both 'Gotta Be Somebody's blues' and 'Feeling Lucky' both fillers (The latter is probably the weakest song the band has ...
