  • I binged Muse as a young Elizabeth way too much. I find Matt Bellamy's voice divine, and know a LOT of their earlier works. When I saw this was released, well, you can imagine the amount of giddiness. This song is about standing your ground against bullies, and I couldn't be more on board with this message!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Muse for the fifty five thousanth time, but the first time hearing "Won't Stand Down”.

Check. 15 y/olds? Check. Actual elders? Check. A LOT of just middle-aged people? Check. Crazy metalheads, punks, emos? Check. Very classy, well-dressed people? Check. So incredible to be somehow melding all these different humans as your fanbase. Muse does truly amaze!

      @Rhythmic1274 2 года назад +9

      Nothing about the breakdown has anything to do with their roots. I can't think of anything from Showbiz, OOS, or even Absolution that's remotely close to this. You could argue about the drop tuning of Citizen Erased, but it's just not the same. The closest it would come to that era would be the interlude on Citizen Erased from the 2004 era, for example Glastonbury.

      What the dude above me said. The guitar riff right before the chorus definitely reminds me of something Muse would write when they were more guitar-centric (I don't say heavy because they weren't heavy, really. They just had crunchy tuning), but the breakdown is entirely new.

    Muse is a great band. Talented musicians who aren’t afraid to mess around with their sound.
    This new song is an awesome mix of a pop, almost dubstep, sound on the verses with the amazing metal sound that comes in for the chorus. The transitions between the two different sounds is perfect.
    The “won’t stand down” metal scream near and at the end reminded me a lot of Randy Blythe from Lamb of God, only in a somewhat higher register.

    It's interesting that you count it like that, with the bar of 5/4, because I count the entire song in 4/4 with the 1 falling on a different beat haha! During the verse I have the big bass wahs on 4 and 1, rather than on 1 and 2 like you were counting them. Really cool arranging anyway! The verses are in this triplet, reggae feel and then the chorus and heavy bits are in a straight 4/4. Great stuff as always from Muse!

    Not only is the musicianship of Muse incredibly impressive (including Matt's vocals) their lyrical Content is some of the most relevant and truthful you will find.
    They've been trying to send a message for years and unfortunately (i.e. The Resistance, Drones, Simulation Theory) alot of it is still falling on deaf ears, no pun Intended.
    It's not just art, and it's definetley not fantasy, but no body wants to admit they've been fooled, and no one wants their "reality" shaken up by frightening truths.
    Brilliant reaction as always, and it's always a pleasure.

      I’ve noticed a lot of bands starting to get very anti-establishment as of late. Lamb of God’s recent album was pretty intense in the realm.

      @@goldenhate6649 not just anti-establishment but there's been a growing overreach from those in power for the last 20 years.
      We could have a whole debate about the subject but I think what I might say would possibly be misconstrued or misinterpreted
      I'll simply suggest anyone who reads this watch the 1976 movie Network, and legitimately look into the concepts that MUSE bring up, esp those regarding simulation.
      And i 100% agree. Pleasantly surprised about that, I heard it was gonna be heavy but this is a side to MUSE we haven't seen since Absolution/Black Holes and Revalations... even then this is much angrier and more along the lines of having metal influence. I love it!
      Elizabeth's mention of dubstep elements was spot on as well.

      I really hate how bad their lyrics are nowadays... They used to have such beautiful lyrics but now everything is so awkward and over the top without any nuance. I'm still a little traumatized from "cold chick, you ate my soul like a death eater" and Propaganda in general, just to mention one.
      What happened to things like Hoodoo? Those are some of my favourite lyrics ever. Especially "and I've had recurring nightmares that I was loved for who I am and missed the opportunity to be a better man"

      @@chaotictuc I get where you're coming from but Won't Stand Down and Propaganda don't even compare. Matt could've been a bit more clever here, as the repetition isn't all that catchy, but Propaganda is easily one of their worst songs.
      If I could raise this thought as well:
      How many albums/songs do they have?
      There's only so many times you can keep saying the same messages in different ways.
      I'm not even the biggest MUSE fan, just like music in general but even their worst songs trump most "relevant" musicians' (if many mainstream artists can even be considered such) best songs.

      I'm also aware that it's personal preference. I just happen to be a big fan of pretty words, even some vague meanings. But I do think there are ways to make these "really spelling it out for you" lyrics a little less clumsy with a little effort. I feel like "Assassin" or "City of Delusion" do a decent job at that.

    Elizabeth, I love you! Though, I must bring to your attention that this song is entirely in 4/4; your '1' count comes in early on the '4' of the prior measure, giving your phrasing a bit of unbalance. Absolutely love your take on Matt's vocal specificity. Muse is my favorite band of all time, and watching you (as a fellow Muse fan) nerd out over his style after all these years brings me so much joy.
    You may not have heard any tracks from their Drones album, but I really enjoy the meaning behind "The Globalist", where Matt sings in such a fabulous, yet morose way in order to capture the lyrics and mood of the song. It's a long one, but give it a listen!

    They are almost clinical in there arrangements and sound which is awesome but songs like this make me long for a live show where they can play and really let loose on the guitars etc, something they can’t really do on record.

    It's not about somebody kicking your butt at school... it's about the very very few that control the masses... the ones that are nowadays above the law, above the rest of humanity just because they have fucking MONEY...
    It's a very powerful song... just sad that nothing will ever change... our world is enslaved by money completely and it will never change... us, the plebes, will have to settle for mediocre, unfulfilling lives that are all about survival while the elite can have and do everything under the sun... we live in the most unfair and unlawful times of modern humanity.... they have managed to put us in a society of the middle ages and are just fooling us that this modern world is "better" and more "civilized" by dangling shiny gadgets in front of us to make us forget how shitty our lives are...
    Let me ask this one question... what percentage of humanity around the world can say that they can afford to take a vacation, staying in a good hotel for 2 weeks every year?

    It's so cool how you are fascinated and drooling over Matts voice :D I really like to watch your videos and explanations and sense for details

    I love Muse,have done for years....this album in my opinion is basically their best work. The way it reflects society & the fear for the future that so many people are feeling is awesome but it also captures the hope that those same people are holding onto...that we will prevail against the ones who try to control & oppress us
