YEEEEEY MUSE SECRET :DDDDD

I kind of know what you mean. The lyrics are mostly awful, especially recently. I think Absolution and BHaR have good lyrics for hte most part, but almost everything before those are just bizzare and pretty obviously written on shrooms and almost everything after those are cliche and written at a third grade level. I love the new album, but I would probably love it more if Matt sang in a language I didn't understand (though tbh I don't like how his voice sounds on it either).

I can't really listen to them without the vocals, because Matt's voice is a huge part of why I love Muse, and I'm actually pretty fond of those early, non-sensical lyrics for their badness. However, I can see why you'd want to. The instrumentals are still amazing, the vocals are needed for them to be great songs.

Hm, I'm pretty fond of the lyrics for The Resistance, but I agree with you about the new album. I've heard a few of their songs from their new album so far and their lyrics just sound like they've given up in terms of writing them :P

"M-m-m-m-m-mad mad" What are you on about, Matt Bellamy?

[cherrycoloured.livejournal.com]

I think some of TR's lyrics are nice, like "Resistance" and USoE, where they are ridiculous but unique and fun to sing along too, but it was weaker than the previous two albums. The lyrics on The 2nd Law are written in an even more heavy-handed way than normal, and lack the originality of previous lyrics. Instrumentally, this album is pretty fantastic, but the lyrics and vocals annoy me.

somewhat OT, but kind of relevant- I just realised yesterday that you're in the ontd_muse comm! I saw a comment by you there and was like "oh hey, it's cherrycoloured from fandomsecrets!"
..That's my cool story for the day. =P I feel like I should have realised this sooner, but it's been a while since there's been much activity in the world of Muse. so yeah.

More on topic, I don't really think the lyrics are as terrible as you think they are- I think Hoodoo is a good example of a song with lyrics in it that kind of gave me chills, for instance. At any rate, I don't think it's too much of a problem because Muse tend to not take themselves too seriously all the time, even if some of their songs can be pretty serious sounding.

Awesome! :DDDD I've been a member since 2009, when I had a different username. What's your LJ name so I can say hi when I see you there? Yeeeey, other ontd_muse people! Best comm ever, pretty much :DDD

I don't think all of his lyrics are awful- I did love the ones on Absolution and BHaR. The lyrics "Hoodoo" are so amazing, that song gives me the chills too. I love that they don't take themselves seriously, which is why I love that they have songs about aliens and conspiracies, and why the early lyrics that made no sense are amusing to me. The recent lyrics are just really awkward and obvious to me. At least before, when they had bad lyrics, they didn't sound clunky and generic like NSC and "Survival". I don't really care too much about what lyrics say, but they just sound awkward now. Luckily, the music itself is still beautiful!

Ah, I remember you! I used to be hanachan01, and I hadn't really commented much on there since my sn change until last night. (I used the .mu forums for a week before I couldn't handle it. I still don't get it. If they hate Muse so much, why are they still there? :|)

Yeah, I'm not too into the meme of Matt being the worst lyricist EVER. He can be a bit clunky and awkward, but he's also written some beautiful lyrics. (I didn't really look too careful at the lyric booklet until now but holy crap it really looks like that! And the lyrics for Isolated System written out, I cannot.)

[hornpile]

ah yes I recognise that username! Cool. cool cool cool! And yeah those forums are crazy. they do come in kind of handy every now and then but everyone there seems very angry. all the time.
And yes, I think clunky and awkward is a good way of putting it- it's a least a bit kinder than saying he's completely terrible. =P
Seriously. Who was in charge of writing out those lyrics. And who told them to write them out like that? Suspicious glares all round. I'm judging everyone involved.

I never thought I'd see the day when a Muse secret headlined an FS post , but I'm glad I stayed to see it happen :).

I kinda agree with cherrycoloured - as awesome as the instrumentals are, I prefer them with Matt's voice to them (though I thought it sounded a bit wonky on the new album - maybe it's because they produced the record by themselves?) But the lyrics of Resistance and 2nd Law were a bit... naive, or something like that. I like the shroomed up songs better. Though, I'd love to analyze the lyrics for some Doctor's thesis sometimes, just for the fun of it.

[pantswarrior]

...This is kind of funny, because I love the lyrics on the earlier albums far more than the post-Absolution stuff. But then, "bizarre and pretty obviously written on shrooms" is fine by me, since my usual preferred genre is classic rock. I love the Doors, for instance, and that pretty well sums up Jim Morrison. XD Still love the instrumentals and some of the lyrics, though, and Muse is one of like... three modern bands whose albums I'll actually buy sight-unseen.
