Some people missing the point. This is not about "replicating" the performance or the vocal of the original, it's a re-interpretation of a great song, which Enter Shikari pulled off beautifully. The best covers are those which taken in isolation sound like the bands own work (perfect example is The Byrds 8 miles high covered by Husker Du or Morrissey covering That's Entertainment) and if you're not a dyed-in-the-wool Muse fan this version sounds like it could easily have been an ES original. Nice work boys.
The musical geniuses in the comment section that think this is "out of tune" because Rou's not singing it all in falsetto are something else lmao. This is almost perfectly in tune and Rory and Chris did a more than serviceable job with the backing vocals. Also, this isn't by any means out of time. We get it Karen, you only listen to Muse and wouldn't know a music term if it was thrown at you. Let Shikari do their things. Fantastic cover of a fantastic song!
I'm a Muser since 2011 and also started listening Enter Shikari nowadays. I have to say that this is the best Muse cover I've ever heard. Congratulations to Enter Shikari for their fantastic work here!
I know it, but I discovered rock music with Muse when I was 14 in 2011. In that time, I heard these guys too but didn't have any interest to try listening them. But right now, Enter Shikari is one of my favourite band. :)
Fred Doran both pretty terrible these days. expand your horizons! check out Horse! the band or any song off the album Kezia by protest the hero. enjoy!
I'm a Muser too! I think Muse are very hard to cover, but this is one of the better attempts I've heard. At least they've tried to make it their own version!
covering anything from muse is going to be a challenge with matt's vocal range being so vast, but i think they did a great interpretation! timeless version if you ask me.
the reason it sounds like shit is cause of Radio 1s ridiculous compression. Also the engineer always has the guitars overpowering everything. They played everything fine. vocals at the end might have messed up a bit at the very last chorus
Oh my favourite band of all time being covered by my favourite band of the last few months. Oh? They do it differently? Very nice. Oh. It's compressed to all hell and the audio engineer was drunk. Shit.
Lol, it's not out of tune, it's a different melody, and indeed it's a cover. But God it's a sloppy one. Do like that they actually tried, can imagine a muse song is pretty difficult to do and also give it some of your own twist.
@@Locbsdkicgvfffhcyfcp Is actually just as hard to keep in tune while singing in chest, that it is in falsetto. Rou can do falsetto, you can tell by the chorus and by a lot of other tracks, the verses here are just a dynamic shift, something Shikari always does in their music. it's not the technique, but the fact that he's pretty much always in tune that's impressive. Better than the original? Up to debate. Great cover? absolutely.
That was a horrible mess. And it's not the studio engineer's fault. It's rushed, sloppy mistakes, weird pauses. There are many ways to cover a song and make it different, but this sadly wasn't one of them. This almost sounds like a high school band quickly learning a song to play for battle of the bands.

I wish they added this to their live sets.
I think it was a great cover, because they did NOT try to copy the original, but mix it with their own sound, and in my opinion they succeded!!
Brilliant version of a great song.
Rou actually impressed me with his vocals here.
Muse are a very difficult band to do justice, but ES in typical fashion took it and made it their own and did a damn good job of it too! 😍
they did them justice around 2003 hehe

Fred Doran 2011? theyve been shit since 07/08

I think, Matthew's vocal is the most difficult to replicate))
Irina T for me is easy
Muse are my favourite group and this is honestly such a good cover. I love his voice!
well crafted!!!!
This depresses me how little views this has compared to the other covers on this channel.
actually I like it, it seems like playing it properly is a kinda difficult
IT ISNT. A Beginner guitar level song
guys remember it is a LIVE session they've done such a great job covering it, very impressed
Love Muse, Love this amazing cover! 😍❤️
i love this band so much
Matt's voice is almost impossible to cover, and the chorus was decent.
Good job guys! ^^

Fitting day to revisit this. :) (for the reveal of the first ever picture of a Supermassive Black Hole)
incredible cover!!!
I really enjoyed this!
Pretty good
A lot of comments not knowing what they’re talking about tho...
These two top comments aren't realizing these are covers ffs!
As far as covers go, this is pretty good. I prefer the original of course, hard to top the original, but this is still pretty great.
that scream tho
Wtf this is amazing
i love this version!!!
That key effects has some CRAZY Bladerunner vibe! Does anyone know the name of the effect?
Your rushin or dragging ???
Muse are one of those bands that are almost impossible to cover, I haven't listened a single one cover that can make change that perception.
+Maria K Upvote this to karma heaven baby
myagastopia K look up Daniel Ferri he will change your mind
Christopher Onuigbo he's alright, but "Flowers Cinder" has a cover of micro cuts and it will honestly blow your mind.
I know this is a really late reply but isn't the point of a cover is to not sound exactly like the band but put your own spin and sound to it?
Check out Daniel Ferri's covers. Pretty damn good efforts
Chorus was pretty nice actually
actually good
Good cover except for that weird change of pace before the chorus.
Круть
So goood. Too bad I can't like it more than once.
I like this but I'm not really a muse fan tbh and I've never heard the original.
The original is amazing even if you don't like muse it's frickilediddly awesome
Why is EVERYTHING out of time?!
😊💖👍
at first listening - I don't like that cover
but if I was repeat it - I really love song
omg, rou👀
The start of this sounds like Horse Pills by the Dandy Warhols
I need a track ..
Does anyone know what that is across Rob's snare? A setlist or paper towls? Any reason?
piece of paper to make the snare sound a little bit more 'artificial' like a drum machine
Could be the song structure
Oh my favourite band of all time being covered by my favourite band of the last few months.
Oh? They do it differently? Very nice.
Oh. It's compressed to all hell and the audio engineer was drunk.
Shit.
omg omg omg omg omg
Let me be the one who liked it)

thames21 thames21 finally someone that CAN hear, so many negative comments about the wrong melody
Sounds good but not my style
To me, They just improved it
they made the song listenable!
muse is definitely one of a kind,but this is better than the original. enter shikari as usual
YOLANDILOFF are you crazy lol.
This entire song is in falsetto. Ya boy here is in chest alot. Not impressive at all..
@@Locbsdkicgvfffhcyfcp Is actually just as hard to keep in tune while singing in chest, that it is in falsetto.

As great as they are as a band and it was an original take on the song. He can't keep up with Matts voice or guitar playing
Not a fan of the original, and this... I like it just as much.
At least it's not worse.
My ears rejected this immediately
This entire song is based around falsetto. He sings in chest in this too much.. kinda ruins it...
Not a fan of this cover
Too much distortion on guitar
Frodoy i don’t think so, i think it’s perfect for the chorus, i just think the verses are so quiet that the distortion is jarring.
Uhhhh-mazing voice in chorus but verses are fantastically awful
*sigh*
Shikari have done better covers.
That was a horrible mess. And it's not the studio engineer's fault.
It's rushed, sloppy mistakes, weird pauses.

I think it sucks
i don't like thisssss
Suck af
It's horrible, the guitarist/bassist is out of tune !!!!!!!!!!!!
"cover"
What the fuck are you listening to ?
Murdered it. Absolute rubbish.
Bof...
I get different interpretations, but for me, this is thumbs down. They fucked up a classic.
Garbage propa shocking ,,,, How to take a song which is Great tie it up and Ruin it
2:47 Best cover ever with their style, liste Shikari before judge
