The Recent Discovery of Muse and a Bunch of Other Stuff

So just recently I found out how much I love the band Muse. I’ve heard their stuff before but recently all I want to hear is Muse. Not just the new stuff either. Their new stuff is okay, but youtube has become my friend recently so I can listen to some great hits like Starlight.

Speaking of which I swear that Muse got the idea for that songs music from a game I played as a child called Croc. It was a PC game where the player controlled a Crocodile in a 3d adventure game much like what the 3d Mario games are like. But the song reminds me of Croc, maybe I’m crazy but I guess I’ll never find out since I dont have acces to that game anymore.

But back on Muse I just cant get over how much I love thier music. I’ve recently found out my taste in music has become the Indie/Alternative Rock genre to be the best for my ears over the past few years. Groups like Arctic Monkeys and Tokyo Police Club are my favorites and Muse may be taking over Owl City’s spot for 3rd.

Muse’s new music is alright which is actually a thing that I’ve realized with other bands that I used to like. Some bands steadily get worse like The Killers, while other bands stop evolving thier music and sound the same like Linkin Park. I used to like these bands but they took their talent in the wrong direction, in my opinion.

I honestly don’t know too much about music though, so what sounds like Linkin Park sounding the same to me could sound like a completely new sound for someone else.

I did however take four years of drums however and it is easier for me to hear the drums of a band other than the guitar which is actually a hard thing to do. The drums are usually in the background of a song, but it is easier to hear them with experience playing them myself. That is actually one of the realson why I like the Arctic Monkeys. Their drummer is amazing, you can hear it especially in the songs Brianstorm and The View from the Afternoon. Both great songs, and you should check them out on youtube if you dont know of these songs yet.  The video for the second song actually focuses on the drummer.
