I wish i could listen to this song again for first time Will you review this album soon? If not soon react to Space Dementia and Exogenesis symphony (3 parts)
For more of that “laying back and looking up at the stars” feeling, try any of the following: Blackout Falling Away With You Ruled By Secrecy Soldiers Poem Hoodoo Exogenesis Symphony (3rd Mvt particularly) Aftermath
Hate This & I'll Love You has a similar vibe to this song. If you like dreamy and chill Muse, Shine Acoustic and Endlessly are both great, or for something a bit more intense, Hyper Chondriac Music and The Void. Have fun! I wish I could discover Muse all over again. :)
also absolutely Map of your Head, this is such an intimate, playful song with lyrics that are just straight up weird :D probably one of my favourites also screenager! aw man, their early albums were just the best.
Great video, I love that while watching I feel like closing my eyes and enjoying the music but then remember "Oh shit, maybe he added a quirky remark and I missed it" and rewind to make sure. Also, I suggest Sing For Absolution (my favorite song from Muse) as well as Exogenesis Symphony (all three parts for the full journey)
Absolutely a masterpiece! I'm a huge Muse fan, and what keeps me hooked on their songs over the years is the fact that I can always discover something new in their music unexpectedly. Whether it's background voices or melodies I've never noticed before, it doesn't matter that I've listened to their songs a lot. I really enjoyed this reaction video. I'm definitely going to watch more of your videos. It's great to see how invested you are in your listening and how you absorb every detail. It's like reliving the song all over again. A huge thank you!
Another great video - love your reactions. You may know Matt Bellamy's dad was George Bellamy of the Tornados who made 'Telstar' in the 60s (Knights of Cydonia sounds like Matt's tribute to his dad with his fuzzy space sounds).
Favourite song of all time. Seen them live 10 times and it wasn't until the 7th time at Download that I finally saw them play Citizen Erased live - blew my mind!! Really would recommend this album and Showbiz as albums to react to in full - Muse at their most raw on both albums!! Love your channel, keep up the good work :)
Wow!! Masterpiece! This song is already really good. And the live version gives it more. I recommend you to check the live version from 2004. Maybe Glastonbury or Rock am ring. Well, in rock am ring 2004, you could see a fan drop tears in the end of the song.
Wow, hopefully one day I can become like you then, sir. I'm afraid it will take quite long though, to me this album does not make me a bit more positive about myself, it's more of like a vent and that's what I love about old school Muse, very melancholic. Have a good day.
Reese Thats how a lot of music helped me. I was a very angry kid lol Early life is all about learning to love yourself my man. It's one of the hardest things to do. I still struggle sometimes, but that's life. Hope you're doing well and I hope you get everything you want outta life! Much love brotha
Thanks. Im giving my soul to you. I subscribed. And I should share my litttle boring story with you. When I heard it 3th time and then one of the live performance, I think it was 2015...then It hit me: I was 30 yrs old, and heard my share of music - I dont image world without music, I was fan of rock bands, composers, rappers. I was always guy that listen to albums, not only singles. I knew Muse before. But then after 5 years or so I found something to listen entire albums. And that night it hit me. Citizen is best song in the world. I finally found my top 1. To this day, It lost this power of novelty, but 3 years ago, it was perfect to me. And remains on top 1 spot since then.
I love muse, but this song was their perfection song, it was creative, emotional, driving, progressive, different than anything else at the time and since, for me they have never reached this peak again, they've made some beautiful, rocking tunes, plenty of them, but this was different, and special. I like to rewatch this video sometimes because based on your notes you got the song pretty well which is fun to see, thanks and have a great day
I've been waiting forever for this! I hope you give the band Elder a try next - I know I commented recently about them, but I have a feeling you'd LOVE their sprawling landscapes of songs. Sanctuary, Omens, Embers, and Compendium are some of my all time favorites. Keep up the super cool content dude!!
I see a fellow Elder fan, might aswell share some bands I've painstakingly found to satisfy my Elder urge. Elder still beats all of these but that's expected. Weedpecker is an obvious one but theres also Camel driver (Interphase), Samsara blues experiment (anything from long distance trip, singatas my fav), Toundra (more post rock but same atmosphere, check Strelka) Grotto (very obscure but cosmic whispers is very Elder inspired). And one to keep an eye on: Huntsmen, need some time to mature though. (has some growls and Yes inspired cleans but instrumentals are very elder, Colossus is good.
Hope you enjoyed your break Dean, it's good to re-energize and refresh.🏞😎 Probably one of my favourite Muse songs, nice one Dean👍 I may have suggested you react to Oceansize before, they don't seem to be widely reacted to which is expected as i don't think they were ever as big as Muse. Please react to Trail of Fire or The Frame by them, i think you'll like them🤟
Well, look at you, Deano! Fresh as a daisy from your vacation. 😊🌼 Good to have you back! Now just imagine this song blending seamlessly into Microcuts, that track you did three or four months ago. It's quite an epic pair, those two songs. You should give 'em another listen together- Citizen first, then Microcuts immediately after. It's a one-two punch in the heart and gut. (In a *good* way!) 😋
Was listening to Muse and stumpled upon your video. Now I began binge-watching your playlist on listening to Muse and I enjoy watching them! I love seeing another person enjoy listening to their music as much as I do. Keep up the good work! Btw, what headphones are you wearing?
Nah, Matt said it in an interview that it would be like a sequel to Citizen Erased...then everyone started getting hyped about it. It turned out to have a great first half up to the end of the guitar solo, but unlike Citizen Erased where the 2nd part was so, haunting, relaxing and beautiful while having one of if not the best lyrics in "Wash me away. Clean your body of me. Erase all the memories. They will only bring us pain. And I've seen, all I'll ever need" The Globalist failed to captivate and pull me in the same way. Most felt the same way.
@@letiquia I love all of Muse's albums, almost equally, but that is one thing I'd definitely agree with. They've lost that 'Hauntingly Beautiful' sound which is so captivating in OoS & Absolution.
Just stumbled across you and love your respect for the music, you feel it, try not to interupt it and don't just love the sound of your own voice. Good job!
Since you noted the guitar strings tuning: this song was performed almost solely on Manson 7-string guitar Matt Bellami bought second-hand when he came into shop and said he wants a 7 string guitar for a song, from 2001 to 2015. A guitar just for this song... Tuning is AADDGBE.
@@deanwolfechannel Also, since your reaction to Chris throwing his bass from crowd barriers to stage floor - Matt Bellami is a holder of World Record at breaking guitars on one tour - 140 smashed guitars in 2004. My Ibanez shakes with fear whenever it hears Muse...
I absolutely love "Supermassive Black Hole" Muse is one of those deeply passionate bands. Matthew's vocals are hauntingly beautiful. Then comes that Drop umm yeah🤘😋 🎸🔥🎶
I'm pretty sure the solo was done using his 'Fuzz Factory' pedal, unpredictable little buggers that crack and fuzz when you least expect them to... He has his built into the guitar and you really get a feel of it at the beginning of their song 'plug in baby'.
Knights of Cydonia must be next... Unless I missed it??? Others... Plug in Baby, Hysteria, Sing for Absolution, Muscle Museum, Stockholm Syndrome, Reapers...I could go on and on. Check out some live performances. I was fortunate enough to see them live. An experience for sure, so much energy.
Saw them tour this album in Edinburgh when it came out. Great album, my favourite of theirs. They go downhill though unfortunately after a few albums in.
Muse have been my favourite band since I 1st heard them.I remember reading a review after they released this album, and the author said that 1 day Muse would release the modern Bohemian Rhapsody, with this song in particular being a major stepping stone in that journey. For me, Map of the problematique is the best song they have released, with this song being number 2
Try to react to band Archive(songs : Again, Fuck U, Noise, Pulse....) they are great but underrated I like your Muse reactions, sometimes I wish that I can hear them for the first time again 😃
As I get older I ask myself why do I try and stick a label on music & categorise it as this that or the other genre. You get into the realms of what's the definition of 'progressive rock', 'metal', 'pre-Raphaelite harpsichord' music. Does it matter? I don't think so, if you enjoy it, enjoy it.
Sounds a lot like Mars Volta. Not very complicated. Been spoiled by Tool and Marillion lately. Looking forward to you doing some Marillion in the Hogarth genre. Anyway good choice.
Do you think you could check out Octavarium by Dream Theater ? You're a prog fan so I wouldn't be surprised if you've already listened to quite a bit of their catalogue
Dean Wolfe - I can relate! I only started checking out more of their stuff last year. I've heard a few of their songs before but, that was a long time ago Super talented guys, that's for sure. Anyway, much love man! Cheers!
Fantastic reaction! This also happens to be one of their best, most consistently good live songs. If you ever get a chance to react to one, I'm partial to this one from 2015 just because the solo is so face-meltingly good ruclips.net/video/CkVPRaEQNaw/видео.html
Oh my, I'm not a fan of this track at all. Too heavy on vibrato for my taste (I don't like vibrato at all in general) , and instruments too clunky/distorted most of the time. You seem refreshed so, that was enjoyable. 🙂
A lot of newer live performances address the issues you have with the song in my opinion, vocals are much more polished. I recommend the 2011 Reading performance where they played the entire album all the way through to mark its 10 year anniversary.
part 2: ruclips.net/video/Js6AUZyAPDc/видео.html
What I love about this band is how prominently the bass drives so many songs.
Mainly on OOS
@@alonshooster3343 OOS is their best album
When you said the solo was probably recorded on the fly at 5:39, pretty sure they were all "flying" high on mushroom while recording this album lol
Oh they were :D Execution Commentary is a spawn from those shrooms. They were supposed to record PiB and woke up naked in a bath tub to that instead.
Only Plug in Baby, Bliss, Darkshines and New Born were recorded during the mushroom sessions
@@thee2724Stockholm Syndrom too
Every time I hear citizen erased I get chills and just wish I could listen to it for the first time all over again
Finally a reaction channel that doesn't pause 100 times during the songs!
Enjoy the channel! That's how we do things here 99% of the time.
It's 2am and i am satisfied thank you
4am here
I wish i could listen to this song again for first time Will you review this album soon? If not soon react to Space Dementia and Exogenesis symphony (3 parts)
Uff Citizen Erased es mi tema preferido de Muse, como empieza tan chillon y acido para terminar tan calmado y bello, de 10 el temazo
Their best track from their best album!
I love that you play and listen to the whole song, with notes and then the analysis. Intelligent approach and much appreciated.
For more of that “laying back and looking up at the stars” feeling, try any of the following:
Blackout
Falling Away With You
Ruled By Secrecy
Soldiers Poem
Hoodoo
Exogenesis Symphony (3rd Mvt particularly)
Aftermath
Also Falling down and Unintended!
Hate This & I'll Love You has a similar vibe to this song. If you like dreamy and chill Muse, Shine Acoustic and Endlessly are both great, or for something a bit more intense, Hyper Chondriac Music and The Void. Have fun! I wish I could discover Muse all over again. :)
also absolutely Map of your Head, this is such an intimate, playful song with lyrics that are just straight up weird :D probably one of my favourites
also screenager! aw man, their early albums were just the best.
@Siegfried Sieger Ayy your favorite song is Hate this and I'll Love You!? No waaay! honestly since nobody talks about it i thought i was the only one!
The end ALWAYS brings emotion out of me. ALWAYS. The vibe shift is heavenly.
the outro never fails to make me cry
I enjoy these earlier songs by Muse so much more than their newer stuff!
Sameee
Great video,
I love that while watching I feel like closing my eyes and enjoying the music but then remember "Oh shit, maybe he added a quirky remark and I missed it" and rewind to make sure.

Whether it's background voices or melodies I've never noticed before, it doesn't matter that I've listened to their songs a lot.
I really enjoyed this reaction video. I'm definitely going to watch more of your videos. It's great to see how invested you are in your listening and how you absorb every detail. It's like reliving the song all over again.
A huge thank you!
thanks, glad you're enjoying the reactions!
I loved your reaction in the final part. That song just takes you on an incredible journey. 👏🏻👏🏻❤ Good choice
Thanks for joining me for some muse

@@indranw11 wkwkwk kemarin liat 🤣🤣
You can listen to this song again for the first time by listening to the 20th anniversary RemiXX that was released a couple weeks ago!
This album helped me out so much when I was a hormonal preteen and thought life was pointless whenever something didn't go my way 😂
Wow, hopefully one day I can become like you then, sir.
I'm afraid it will take quite long though, to me this album does not make me a bit more positive about myself, it's more of like a vent and that's what I love about old school Muse, very melancholic.
Have a good day.

I love the way it leads into Micro cuts next
OMG ! First time i see a react on Citizen Erased which is probably my favourites muse song. Thanks dude, love your channel !
from the same album, check out new born

One of my favorites from them..perfection
Like your style of reacting, well done!
They played this on the Drones Tour setlist in DC 2016. Was a highlight for me.
Origin of symmetry is an amazing, modern prog album
Very amazing song, i love Muse!!💙

My favourite song
Mi canción favorita de muse y de la vida
So glad you did this one, somehow I missed it, been subbed for awhile, not sure what happened, great video! Have a good day
Glad you caught it
One really cool thing is how citizen erased instantly transitions into micro cuts
It’s better live.... as are most of their songs. The sign of a truly gifted band.
Was listening to Muse and stumpled upon your video. Now I began binge-watching your playlist on listening to Muse and I enjoy watching them! I love seeing another person enjoy listening to their music as much as I do. Keep up the good work!
Btw, what headphones are you wearing?
This song is incredible. If you enjoyed it, you should check out "The Globalist". Some "musers" say that is like it was Citizen Erased 2

Hmmm, good excuse to react to it then!
@@Some__Rando I'll second that! Exogenesis is an amazing piece of music.
@@letiquia The globalist was a let down. The heavy part was neat but the rest was one of the weaker songs on drones.
@@letiquia I love all of Muse's albums, almost equally, but that is one thing I'd definitely agree with. They've lost that 'Hauntingly Beautiful' sound which is so captivating in OoS & Absolution.
You have a subscriber..👍🏾👍🏾 you have the Muse smile..when They take you in a journey of musical splendour and surprise.. love this..

Great song!
This used to be my favorite Muse song for several years. The live version they have on the album Hullabaloo is amazing. ❤️
I love the live citizen erased at Glastonbury 2004

I absolutely love "Supermassive Black Hole" Muse is one of those deeply passionate bands. Matthew's vocals are hauntingly beautiful. Then comes that Drop umm yeah🤘😋 🎸🔥🎶
That's a sexy song. I remember it coming out, it got radio play and everything

I've got a Muse react playlist...done only a few of those so far
Please, react to Space Dementia! It's from the same album and it's probably my favourite Muse's song!
Saw them tour this album in Edinburgh when it came out. Great album, my favourite of theirs. They go downhill though unfortunately after a few albums in.
Fun Fact: This song is recording using a 7 string guitar using the AADDGBE tuning. That's why that one string sounds so detuned
amazing video!🤘 you should react to Unnatural Selection...
Should listen to micro cuts as this song follows perfectly onto the next
Muse have been my favourite band since I 1st heard them.I remember reading a review after they released this album, and the author said that 1 day Muse would release the modern Bohemian Rhapsody, with this song in particular being a major stepping stone in that journey. For me, Map of the problematique is the best song they have released, with this song being number 2
My favorite song of theirs if fury. But map of the problematique is an amazing song
The best muse song 😎
Finally, a reaction video that is not annoying.
glad to hear! 👍
Pressure by muse is a good one to check out!
Dug it, feel like I need to revisit this album, wondering if I've actually listened to it all the way through since this song doesn't ring a bell
Also I'm gonna go ahead and click the link but it's not because you told me to
Lol!
Please please please start reacting to live versions of muse songs...you won't be disappointed trust me
The OoS 20th Anniversy Remix version is even better.
Ahora puedo morir en paz :)
Muchisimas gracias!
At 3:20 in the middle I here an homage to ELO Kuiama from ELO 2.
💆♀️🎶
1:08 my whole life
The vocals give me such a Jeff Buckley vibe. The song is brilliant...Muse are masters of their craft.
Try to react to band Archive(songs : Again, Fuck U, Noise, Pulse....) they are great but underrated
I like your Muse reactions, sometimes I wish that I can hear them for the first time again 😃
Just as a note, it is not a detuned string, it is a 7 string guitar.
Well if you really want to be amazed check the Hullabaloo Live
listen to i appear missing and better living through chemistry by queens of the stone age! deffo progressive
Can you react to the voidz? Human sadness if possible :)
Are they prog?
@@deanwolfechannel I would say so for the most part
As I get older I ask myself why do I try and stick a label on music & categorise it as this that or the other genre. You get into the realms of what's the definition of 'progressive rock', 'metal', 'pre-Raphaelite harpsichord' music.
Does it matter? I don't think so, if you enjoy it, enjoy it.
Sounds a lot like Mars Volta. Not very complicated. Been spoiled by Tool and Marillion lately. Looking forward to you doing some Marillion in the Hogarth genre. Anyway good choice.
Yes, eventually some marillion is essential
You're saying it as if something has to be complicated to be God. While some of the best music is minimalistic.
That's why I prefer Muse over almost anything. Not unneccessarily complicated and always 100% to the point.
The live version is so much better! Glastonbury 2004! Give the live version a go, I PROMISE u will love it!
You should do your self a favor, and listen to Muse - Endlessly Live Wembley Arena at well hidden gem... enjoy..
Do you think you could check out Octavarium by Dream Theater ?
You're a prog fan so I wouldn't be surprised if you've already listened to quite a bit of their catalogue
Actually a good idea, as I dont know their stuff hardly at all. I've kind of ignored them entirely until now
Dean Wolfe - I can relate! I only started checking out more of their stuff last year. I've heard a few of their songs before but, that was a long time ago
Super talented guys, that's for sure.
Anyway, much love man! Cheers!
Fantastic reaction! This also happens to be one of their best, most consistently good live songs. If you ever get a chance to react to one, I'm partial to this one from 2015 just because the solo is so face-meltingly good ruclips.net/video/CkVPRaEQNaw/видео.html
