I do normally leave during it just to beat the crowd exit rush (can’t drive lmao) but it felt wrong when I thought about it at SBE, even though I felt super close to passing out by that point. Plus I think I told someone on here beforehand that “even I” wouldn’t skip Knights if the set lived up to potential and apparently I cared about holding to that for some reason

Seeing a few people going over the barrier was vvv tempting though.

I never understood leaving early to beat traffic. Why rush? I usually stay in the last 5% even for bands that I only like. Chat with people that came with me or something. It's not like I have to be somewhere at 11/12pm

SerpentSatellite · 11-10-2017, 01:23 AM

A lot of people have work or school the next day, and even if not, sitting in traffic for an hour is a downer.

I like being there for the end. I stay regardless.

Yeah I had to bail at SBE before the second encore and I hated missing the end. Mind you, I bloody love Knights and think it's a perfect closer.

+ if you’ve seen Knights once, you’ve seen it 1000 times so you’re not really missing anything by skipping the end of a Muse gig

Funny thing: I managed to stay till the end of the May 14th gig in Milan and go home in a short time to get some rest for the following day, when I had my three-year degree party with my family (I had officially graduated nine days before).

I actually really enjoy Madness live these days.

I remember it being a bit of a dour moment back when I saw it in 2013 but at Reading while it wasn't a "highlight" it was still enjoyable and watching back videos of it played recently, the second half especially sounds so much better.

I think the New Kind of Kick studio version is pretty decent.

Live version isn't as good even without the issue of the pre-recorded vocal.

Yes, it was just made for fun...

Until they brought it as a voice break during gigs, and they even slowed it down... What the heck?

Time Is Running Out is top tier Muse (yes I'm looking at you Jobby)

Jobby · 07-04-2018, 04:50 AM

wtf I don’t even slag off TIRO

Song-wise, Drones doesn’t hit the level of Stockholm, Butterflies, Apocalypse, RBS or Endlessly but it’s more consistently solid/enjoyable imo. It only really falls apart for the last two tracks and has a wee wobble with Mercy. Abso’s wobbles are frequent, just more in terms of mood/tone than quality. Individually, S4A, FAWY and Blackout are decent songs but, in the context of the album, they bring the momentum to a sudden dead stop and jerk you in another direction so I can’t enjoy them. Then you’ve obvs got a few meh tracks filling out the rest of the album like TOADA, TSP and TIRO.

If Abso flowed, like at all, and the band had made better choices w/ what did and didn’t make the cut, it’d probs wipe the floor with Drones.

Edit: it’d still probs be a way off BH&R and OOS for me though

Calling something meh is defo not worth a callout

The verses and bridges are alright tbh, it’s just the chorus that’s ulllllllllltra boring.

Zepp · 07-04-2018, 09:31 AM

The pre-chorus is one of my favourite Muse moments.
