Personally I'm just praying The Resistance is good as a whole. I've been doing some thinking and I've concluded if every song on the album is like Uprising and the SIA SIA SIA section of USOE, then I haven't very high hopes unfortunately. I know Muse are changing and evolving and all that, but I'm worried about its direction. I know people were saying stuff like this when SMBH was the first single of BH&R, but I can't help but be slightly concerned about the way things are heading.
I'm seriously hoping the rest of the album is bloody spectacular and more of a recognisable Muse sound otherwise I'm not so sure how well it'll be received.

I think it'll sound pretty diverse, coming from the way they hinted at it from the interviews, so I'm not really too worried. I mean, you have to give them a little leeway for the album, they've only released two songs..

Also also also:

hot

although not as good as OOT, Absolution, or BH&R imo.

better than showbiz though.

I like it very much. I like it when they do cartoony stuff, like with Origin.

It's better than the Uprising single cover anyway.

I always imagined it would be darker, like this:

Dianetics by Muse, it should have the USE flag as the cover or something that suggests resistance.

Better than self-titled, muscle museum EP and Hullaballoo

Ha odd, also the tour is starting in the US rather than base in the UK. You guys must be annoyed right?

hmmm?

Naw it's not.

Their US dates are supporting U2.

Weird. Maybe it's symbolic or something, since that's what they seem to be doing after the treasure hunt stuff. Like something about how the UK will be the last to "uprise" against Eurasia.

Dude, I was just thinking it's the best album cover IMO.

Loving the colours so much.

Ha which is disgusting by the way, but they're gonna get the first taste of the new content live and even then it seems like eastern europe is getting all the shows before. Still no Oceania dates, I'm guessing they're gonna do the Big Day Out tour with a sideshow in Melbourne and Sydney, that seemed to be the BHaR schedule.

Edit: I love it.

DAMN YOU WMG! Does Warner even do Muse? Anyway, why ban a song which most people are downloading for free ATM?

Uprising and United States of Eurasia are both worthy additions to my iTunes list.

You guys seen this interview?
Zane Lowe Radio1

It explains the USoE game was an idea based on a novel and how casual they are with "dangerous" songs

Am i the only who thinks Matt Bellamy sounds like he has a cold whenever he sings?

i like futursim, showbiz(live at le zenith) , and Spiral Static. The album cover is way awesome.

For those who said Muse never has enough teddies on their covers:

http://muse.mu/news/article/439/uprising -single-artwork/

lmao lmao lmao wut

best covers ever.

The Teddy covers are amazing.

The actually album art is really cool too, I just don't think it suits the title at all.

It's tempting enough alone with the USB thingy.

To spend or not to spend?

Can't afford it, especially with no use for the vinyls. :\

Why would you want to USE the vinyl? D:

oh fucking softpaks seriously they can go suck a dick >:(

I'll wait till they release a regular plastic-cased version before buying a physical version.

I do agree softpaks fucking suck.

But I can learn to live with the annoyance of them. It's the cd itself that matters.

BH&R originally came out in softpak on release date, but later in a regular plastic case, which is what I have.

I'm prepared to wait for the CD of The Resistance.
