Aside from the awkward intro and the lack of the higher falsetto right at the end, this is everything I wanted from Muse. This is an essentially a MUCH more polished version of Won’t Stand Down, but with much more mature lyrics and a less disjointed structure.
I’m giving this an 84 because of the gripes I mentioned, that chorus is MONUMENTAL and those vocals are excellent
Edit: bumping this to an 87 because I'm addicted to this
this was on at work today and 90% of these songs are some of the most insufferable, cringe inducing pieces of music I have ever heard
to entirely disregard this beautifully haunting work of art as a piece of music just because it’s from a video game is incredibly petty. brad L, peak video game soundtrack (yes i know i’m being petty too)
