^ No I'd honestly say that's fairly objective. They seem to have lose their edge sometime between Black Holes and The Resistance. Not to say the latter's a bad album, but before that, each album brought something significantly new to the table or had improved songwriting.

Because straying away from their typical style and writing a 3-part symphony isn't bringing something new to the table.

Am I the only who loves the last one and half minutes of Madness? I mean, I keep repeating from 3:00 onwards. It just gets so rich with music that it's a pleasure for the ears.

On the other hand, survival is THE worst Muse song for me now. It's so damn cheesy. The best song for me is still New Born followed by Map of the problematique. Madness is growing steadily though.

I should have added it also needed to be good to count.

agreed. I now love Madness. Survival is basically one of their worst ever, straight up sucks

Survival is sick. Unsustainable is sick, and could be epic once paired with and followed by Isolated System. Madness is also sick. This album is going to be diverse as fuck, which is something nobody could ever say about Living Things.

That's a bad assumption. LT was pretty diverse. Maybe not as diverse as ATS but was more diverse than the other LP albums. Living things 1st 5 songs were more diverse than Meteora as a whole. According to your assumption, then The Resistance wasn't diverse either other than for the last 3 songs.

[Shadester]

^ Don't worry about him, he's managed to work in his disregard for LT in almost every post in a Muse thread and clearly wants a reaction. Don't give it to him.

[travz21]

I don't want a reaction. I want sensibility.

[Benjamin]

I've been so busy that I didn't even realize Madness came out. I like it a lot. This should be a great album.

[Lazarus]

Have they said why is the album called The 2nd Law?

It's not. It's a few hundred years old.

[Cookie Monster]

Madness is one of my new favorite Muse tracks now. Awesome, fantastic song. Survival and Unsustainable still suck ass though. I'm all for being diverse, but not if it blows.

[Viper224]

Only song I like so far is Madness. The other two are not so great.

[Louis]

I don't know how you all don't like "Survival." It's very Muse-ish. Very, very Muse-ish.

I can understand not appreciating "Unsustainable" as much.

"Madness" is really awesome, despite the lacking guitar solo.

[Flagrare]

Enjoy.

[Decay]

^ Awesome video! Madness is definately one of my favorite tracks that've been released this year.

[Blake]

I love the music video. and I'm hoping this album turns out good

[Ree]

Waiting for this album to leak within the next couple of weeks!

[Serenity of Ashes]

I can't believe no one liked Unsustainable. Guess I'm the only one who absolutely loved it.
