I really dig your breakdowns man, you’re one of the most honest reviewers on yt. I’m a huge Erra and Muse fan and when this came out I was FLOORED by it. However, you bring up some points that I didn’t consider! So much of music is down to taste and while I love the choices they made vocally (metalcore bands doing metalcore things) I totally respect the criticism. Not everyone has my ear and that’s ok 🤷♂️. Also while the step up in tuning does take away some of the melancholy of the original, I think they took that route because that would allow them to pitch shift a full octave down to drop E during those breakdowns. which to my ear is about as low as you can go while maintaining some semblance of tonality. Double drop D is just noise haha. Would LOVE to see your take on some other ERRA tracks!! They’re a fantastic band. Especially “Divisionary”, “Drift”, and “Dementia”. Cheers!
It's funny cause when this came out I expected it to be heavier than the original, but it's not really because Muse's version is in D and I think Matt's screams and overall delivery are more powerful. At least in the outro. I still like it a lot, though!
You should react to 'My December' by Linkin Park. They've performed it live recently with their new lead singer Emily and it sounds so beautiful. Chester also has done it live a while back. Maybe you could listen to both and see how both of them express themselves in them.
