We understand that Mark. It's not like we're really upset about it or anything. I just think it's really unusual and different for Muse. Yeah, ultimately it's not going to be much of anything in comparison to the rest of the album, but considering what we have for now, this is different...quite different.
How the fuck do you download the new song? I signed up on muse.mu but whatever the hell I signed up for doesn't appear to be what I need to sign up for to get the song.
You have to sign up for the contest. Click on United States of Eurasia stuff and you'll eventually get to it. It'll say like phase complete and have download links but it won't let you download it unless you register, and from that point you use your log-in name and stuff to download it. If you need any other help, let me know and I'll give you a step-by-step. Also, muse.mu is just the website. Registering for the United States of Eurasia thing is different.
It's a bit more than 5-6 seconds. There's a part in the beginning...the "euraSIAAA" could be considered Queen, and even the piano breakdown is semi-queenish. The entire song could be considered Queen influenced. Not that I mind...Queen is one of my favorite bands of all time and I think this song is bloody fantastic. Gives me high hopes for the new CD.
!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPqbDgIx5Hg&feature=related First 30 secs of "Uprising". <3 the synth! Full thing is to be premiered on the 3rd, I believe.
I love the kind of industrial feel to it. I can totally see it getting heavier. Can't wait for Monday!
A New Zealand radio station leaked the song before Zane could play it. If you're industrious enough you'll find it, although Warner is all over YouTube. Typical. AWESOME. It's going to be a great live song! Especially at the VMAs.
Uprising is an awesome song. Not something I usually listen to, but it is really sticking in my head. Love it
