NME: T in the Park review

shinybee · 14-07-2010, 04:49 PM

Here's the review of Muse's performance at T in the Park from the NME out today:

The photo that went with the review

An ad in the magazine (still advertising the NME Muse special magazine) with an interesting/potentially controversial quote from Matt.

I noticed there's a poster of Matt in the centre of Kerrang too, but I didn't buy that.

NME should've gone to Oxegen tbh

We're getting complacent and greedy - Muse have given so much that we quickly want and expect more. Nothing more in terms of live performance can really be done - they put so much spectacle and energy in, what more do you want? They're only human despite my belief that Matt is in fact God

Setlist-wise, of course we want the old stuff too but we have to understand this tour is to promote current material.

NME suck ass

To be fair, if that had been the Glastonbury review I would have agreed entirely.

Playing 5 of the same 6 songs every night to promote newer material is hardly exciting either.

The thing is NME are always trying to be 'ahead of the trend'. Whether they're just not liking Muse right now or genuinely believe the tide is turning against them and the magazine just wants to be the first ones who 'said it' remains to be seen.

I expect this review will be ripped apart on here.

Lol I agree with most of the review

As Max said, if it was written about Glasto I would agree. Have no idea how T was. Setlist looks shocking but of course I wasn't there so can't comment.

Well yeah I'm reading it as a view of the whole tour up until Oxegen and I know I can't comment on the actual performance but from the highlights it did seem a bit dull and too jammy to me. I like the "360-degree barrage of bombast that twas "The Resistance".

They didn't really like The Resistance at all though, it got a very mixed review which is obviously going to influence their thinking of the tour. They did say MK Ultra sounded like a b-side and were only really overly positive about Exogenesis

Yeah I remember reading it and thinking it was a bit harsh

They do try to be cool. Then once it was a massive success they started backing Muse again but it seems they've got fed up of them again

TO be brutally honest, that was kind. TIRO and PiB were the only good points of a performance which for all it could have been (oxegen the next night, for example) was absolutely appaling. We're not getting greedy, the boys are getting complacent, and hopefully, this won't be the last review which is honest about how lacklustre they've been recently
