To the surprise of nobody, critics are negatively reviewing the new Muse album for being anti-authoritarian. Of course, they've been anti-authoritarian for years. But this is their first album since COVID, and the lyrics and music videos both specifically call out the COVID lockdowns, the vaccine fiasco, and the Great Reset. So they were cool with Muse being VAGUELY anti-authoritarian, but when they have SPECIFIC issues, suddenly it's a problem. When they can imagine Muse is singing about Trump, it's all cool. When it's clear that they're calling out things that the critics support, suddenly it's "unimaginative and jumbled."
MUSE: The Will of the People

Angel Hughes
is the music good tho
Isaiah Stewart
Muse my asshole with a strand of chicken wire

The music is great, Muse has been my favorite band for almost twenty years. I definitely recommend you listen to them. In this album, start with "Kill or Be Killed" if you're into metal, Ghosts if you want a piano ballad, or Won't Stand Down if you like synth.
David Sullivan
Shit album and they're left-libertarians grifting on popular topics, fuck them. They were better before they started grifting on muh conspiracy thories (pre-Resistance). Wasted potential.
Aaron Scott
I can't stand the vocals, he always sounds like hes crying. I've tried, really. Bass lines can be pretty dope. Honestly, the music is pretty meh.
Joseph Sullivan
>for being anti-authoritarian
or maybe because it's just boring britbong buttrock music?
Ian Rodriguez
Fair opinion, I like his vocals a lot but I can see why you wouldn't. Try the songs Liquid State and Save Me. Both written and sung by the bassist.
Evan King
Oh that's called singing. Let me guess- you listen to nigger music...
Henry Lee

Evan Rivera
>I can't stand the vocals, he always sounds like hes crying
I also feel this way, but if they're criticizing COVID authoritarianism, I support them.
Chase Allen
WHOA, PEAK CLOWN WORLD, AND WE AREN’T FORCING GOYIM TO WORK ON OUR PSYOPS USING MILITARY TECHNOLOGY, THAT IS JUST A LARP, GOY, HA HA

Gay. If you can’t say “jewish”…
Benjamin Parker
As an aside, Muse calls for a "Final Solution" in the song Thought Contagion...
Dylan Torres
Thanks, I'll check those out.
Not at all. Most would describe me as a metal head, but I don't care for the excessive screaming, either. Vocals have always been secondary for me when it comes to the quality of music. Some songs they have I can jam to, but most just don't really click for me. I would still likely go to a show if my friends were, though.
Dylan Long
Muse has always been /our/ band
Lincoln Bennett
What critics specifically?

So whats the deal with them apparently stealing the music video from Tim Pool and releasing it on his birthday?
This song and its Pool connection is the only time I've seen anybody talk about muse for years.
