Definitely an unbelievable track. Just shows you that Matt still is at the top of his game in song writing. This album was hated on pretty hard by some muse fans, which is nothing new since black holes honestly. Lol. But I think this album has some truly both beautiful and hardcore songs in there discography. Going from Kill or be killed to a song like Verona. Both masterpieces and so different at the same time. This is why Muse is still my favorite band. No one writes music like them!!
> which is nothing new since black holes honestly. Lol. Lmao yeah, I remember what that album dropped and people RAGED at how they sold their soul and is now a pop band. Every song was trash, ESPECIALLY STARLIGHT. Now it's a cult rock album and with OoS concidered one of the best rock albums ever.
Matt has said that Muse knows their fans are roughly 3-5 years behind when it comes to their music. They drop an album, hear all of the hate, and then 3-5 years later, the fans realize how good it is.
When people say "Muse doesn't write good music anymore" I just don't get it. Kill or Be Killed and Verona are in my top 15 Muse songs of all-time. Verona may be top 3. Verona MAY actually be my favorite. It's just gorgeous and perfect. Absolutely agree with pretty much everything you said about this track.
Kill or be killed, Verona, We are fucking fucked, WSD and Ghosts are all amazing songs. The italian duette made Ghosts even better. Before that, on Simulation Theory we had The Dark Side, Blockades, The Void and algorithm being absolute bangers. I personally love both Propaganda and BITM as well, but I can understand why some people might not :D Drones is also FULL of bangers. Muse never stopped making great music. They just kind of stopped making music with the classic eerie Muse feeling. Some people miss it, I really do, but we still have their old stuff.
Interesting, I don't see the good part of Verona apparently. I mean it's somewhat ok, but not more. Very repetitive, not really much happens. Just seems to rely on production alone. Luckily there's some other songs on the album that I quite enjoy.
Matt Bellamy is like a blend between the late David Bowie and the late Freddie Mercury. His voice is madly glorious and then his songwriting and guitar/piano playing is exquisite. Favourite band of all time, I think, since Freddie and the Starman departed for the universe. Loved your review.
Yup agree 100% this and Ghost 2nd!! When Matt sang this live in Houston Tx I was crying!!! Goosebumps all over too. Such an unforgettable night. I also thought of Stranger Things when first heard this song. Also, I love how in the video the two dancers NEVER touched. Masterpiece.
That was the hardest part of the pandemic for so many people to have to endure, being prohibited the most basic human need of the touch of a loved one. This was like a river of emotion, and those dancers deserve kudos for their ability to capture the longing even while costumed in heavy clothing and with masks covering their faces.
Not goosebumps but Musebumps I am a hard core fan and this song is one of my favorite slow song and we had it in Stade de France in July and the crowd cried
So glad you loved this one too, this is def one of my favorites off of the album. The chord progression with the synths and reverbed-out drums hits me the same way it does to you. It's such a special song, & I remember the first time I heard it, I got a feeling of "Old Muse" from it, which is strange since as of rn it's one of their newest. Definitely a song that will stay close to me throughout life
I loved your reaction, so wholesome. Im crazy in love with this song and basically anything that Muse delivers is worth listening to and be amazed by it. Whether they “change” or not, they always have amazing music and its what makes them eternal! Will watch the rest of your reaction vids lol
I love this band, live they are untouchable seen them around 50 times. Matt vocals and musicianship are the best there out there. Nice reaction to an epic but l think quite sad song.
Every Muse´s song makes me feel so much, but this track is amazing! I feel like a hug whenever I hear it and also Matt's voice makes you feel every part of the lyrics and the emotion it should transmit and also with that melody makes you feel so much peace, I just love it!
Such a great concept and song . Reminds me so much of 1984 where poor wilsons only crime is to fall in love in dystopian world where its forbidden. He gets sent to a reeducation camp where the only chance of leaving is to be broken and love only big brother ( the state )
I love seeing how emotional you got listening to this ❤ I’m a huge Muse fan, my favourite band ever, I’m into the heavy stuff, but, this track is so beautiful it makes me cry 😢
Those who hate this song & album not a true muse fan. Been a fan since the 1st album. its not like some other album but its still great , thats what make muse so special , they dare to give something different but still same.
haven’t watched it yet, busy rn, merry christmas! make sure to do these other songs from muse Reapers (Live From Cologne) Invincible (Live At Wembley Stadium)
It's awesome to see such a reaction, bless you! You might enjoy map of the problematique since you enjoyed this. Different songs, but I love them for the same reasons.. Edit, I saw that you've listened to that album so never mind. In that case try 'Down Side of me' by Chvrches 😊
a lot of songs Sing for absolution, Fury, unintended, Megalomania live from royal albert hall london, and above all Hyper kondriac music incredible music, amazing music
Hey can you do some older Biffy songs ?? Theres an entire catalog of magic there you have yet to discovere. 57 and Questions and Answers are my recommendations!
Hey thanks for the comment! I definitely will get there. I recently made a decision to blast through some albums in full, as with doing song reactions here and there, as a reactor, sometimes it takes me over a year to get through an album. So I'll be finishing up Myth of the Happily Ever After and then will get to the older ones
I was 13 in 1970 and a music fanatic since I was 7. Piano, drums, vocals. Have you listened to much classic rock, grunge, blues, etc.? I love most music from James Taylor to Zepp. I was very into the Foo Fighters when the first cd dropped. I heard Dave Grohl pretty much recorded it alone. "X-static" is one of my favs. I know a lot of bands and songs that fly under the radar, if you're interested.
Matt is always toying with double-meanings. Yes, the song was specifically written with Covid in mind, but "take off your mask" can 100% also be taken metaphorically, such as the line "your beauty is not just a mask" in Undisclosed Desires.
Definitely an unbelievable track. Just shows you that Matt still is at the top of his game in song writing. This album was hated on pretty hard by some muse fans, which is nothing new since black holes honestly. Lol.

This is why Muse is still my favorite band. No one writes music like them!!
Some Muse fans just want origin of symmetry each album. I'd prefer what they do which is invention and new styles.
Great post

Definitely still nowhere near their best song like not even top 100

Agreed. It's so atmospheric. Beautiful sounding and lyrics

Verona live in Stage, mindblowing. One of the best moments in my life
With the confetti raining down. Unforgettable
Saw it at MK bowl, when the confetti fires.... fucking awesome
Since the concert, a confetti in my wallet

100 %
The guitar gives me major U2/The Edge vibes. ❤Your reaction was so like mine the first time I heard this song and you made me smile 😊
It's such a beautiful song, through such a horrible time, one my fav off the album, great reaction :)
I loved your reaction, so wholesome. Im crazy in love with this song and basically anything that Muse delivers is worth listening to and be amazed by it. Whether they “change” or not, they always have amazing music and its what makes them eternal! Will watch the rest of your reaction vids lol

I love this band, live they are untouchable seen them around 50 times.
Matt vocals and musicianship are the best there out there.
Nice reaction to an epic but l think quite sad song.
Verona is my favorite song from the album. I'm not the romantic type, but this one killed me from the first note.
Every Muse´s song makes me feel so much, but this track is amazing! I feel like a hug whenever I hear it and also Matt's voice makes you feel every part of the lyrics and the emotion it should transmit and also with that melody makes you feel so much peace, I just love it!
the song gives me chills every time i listen to it
Such a great concept and song . Reminds me so much of 1984 where poor wilsons only crime is to fall in love in dystopian world where its forbidden. He gets sent to a reeducation camp where the only chance of leaving is to be broken and love only big brother ( the state )
This song is truly beautiful and im glad to have seen this a few times during the 2023 Will of the People. Really strikes a chord with the crowd!!
I love seeing how emotional you got listening to this ❤ I’m a huge Muse fan, my favourite band ever, I’m into the heavy stuff, but, this track is so beautiful it makes me cry 😢
This song hits deep for sure. The atmospheric vibe, insane.
Just watching your reaction gave me chills!
Muse are amazing. This is one of the best reaction videos I've seen. Outstanding.
Saw them live with evanescence, this song was so magical live haha
Great reaction! Great band…beautiful song!! Sooooo good!!!
The two lovers in the video never touch each other until the last seconds
Those who hate this song & album not a true muse fan. Been a fan since the 1st album. its not like some other album but its still great , thats what make muse so special , they dare to give something different but still same.
I see Muse, i like vodeo! Seen em 22 times live! Go down this rabbit hole
I felt the same man…
WOTP is one of my favorite album despite I am a hard core fan, I found them when they starded playing, listen to 2002 gig in the zenith Paris
haven’t watched it yet, busy rn, merry christmas!
make sure to do these other songs from muse
Reapers (Live From Cologne)
Invincible (Live At Wembley Stadium)
I'm not sure if you have heard it or not, but "Unintended" by Muse is an old song that has a similar feel to this one. Really fantastic.
It's awesome to see such a reaction, bless you! You might enjoy map of the problematique since you enjoyed this. Different songs, but I love them for the same reasons..
Edit, I saw that you've listened to that album so never mind. In that case try 'Down Side of me' by Chvrches 😊
Can't wait for my Metric request 😊
Thank you! ❤
so happy you like it !!!!
a lot of songs Sing for absolution, Fury, unintended, Megalomania live from royal albert hall london, and above all Hyper kondriac music incredible music, amazing music
Superb live it realky is

@@Yeedeed Im really looking forward to it cheers

Loving the reactions you should listen to catfish and the bottlemen’s new song showtime! It’s their first release in years.
By far my favorite from WOTP !
Cant wait for my Metric request ❤😊
Reach forbidden bliss. We did it
Please treat yourself to better headphones brotha! Over the ear's will give you an AMAZING experience!
In royal albert hall you will see Matt playing church organ like he gas always plaid it in his life incredible mastery
Man I really suggest you to react to exogenesis by muse, it's a fkcing masterpiece
Well said - brilliant compositions
Matt is always toying with double-meanings. Yes, the song was specifically written with Covid in mind, but "take off your mask" can 100% also be taken metaphorically, such as the line "your beauty is not just a mask" in Undisclosed Desires.
how about an eivør-series? and you should do this helen sjöholm song, du måste finnas with english subtitles
I need to re-listen to this album with headphones. Don't listen to albums like I used to (I'm 44). Cheers 🥂😊🐢🐢🐢
It is an amazing song. Go for Ghosts as well on the same album. Will get u as well
Looking forward to my Garbage request😊
Wanna check out Muse covering Lies from Chvrches?
PLEASE, CAN YOU LISTEN "DANGEROUS PLACES" BY
ALPHAVILLE!!!!!!?????

Loved this track when the album released but it hasn’t had the longevity for me.
