Muse said this next album will be a go back to heavy sounds and the producer said it will get even heavier after Won't Stand Down ! Really exciting since it's the first breakdown in a Muse song.
They had one breakdown at the end of Stockholm Syndrome, but besides that nothing.
@@synysterbullett4166 Wasn't it more like an outro ?
@@reesolv9596 It was a breakdown used as an outro, but still a breakdown nonetheless
As a huge metal head and Muse Fan I'm freaking out I want them to stay heavy😅😂
#itonlygetsheavier
i am 16 years old so i get really jealous when people say things like "oh i remember when they..." "i remember that" about my favorite bands :,) i wish i could experience those too but i wasn't even born ig lol so i am very glad my father listened these bands while i grew up and introduced me to metal, rock music. anyways i really like the reaction and this is one of my favorite muse songs for sure
Sounds like you were blessed with a great father and those are memories and a connection you’ll always have. Besides, how awesome for you they’re still making great music!
Doesn't matter how old you were when you found them, only that you did, as with all bands from before your time
. I loved muses early albums. But from 2nd law onwards they went downhill overall, whilst still producing some gems in each of those albums.
As someone who was a fan before they were known (thanks to a legendary DJ called John Peel on Radio 1), watching this decline has been hard to watch.
This track genuinely fills me with giddy anticipation for a new muse album, for the 1st time in over a decade. You get to jump in at this point with a massive back catalog to enjoy. It's a blessing and a curse my friend. 😁
@@FeelMyFerret couldn't agree with you more... I've been a Muse fan since 1999 when I first saw them in a Music Festival here in Portugal, didn't knew them and they blew my mind!! Since then I saw them live 6 or 7 times I think... I went to England on purpose to be in the first Wembley concert, I went to Madrid in Spain for a concert and then went to Lisbon the next day for another concert... Muse was my favorite band in the world and it was so hard to listen to their decline, to their pop/electro/synth shit, I was so disappointed I can't even put it to words...
So, I really really hope this is them going back to their roots, to what they really were and back to doing amazing music!
@lilith Praises to you father for passing good things to you and, you should be jealous of us because we got to witness the amazingness that was real Muse but you can join along, you just have to listen to their first 4 albums on repeat, all master pieces, get ahold of the B-Sides, so many amazing songs there too, watch the recorded live shows like Hullaballoo Soundtrack, The Wembley Show, Glastonbury... and you'll be amazed.
My favorite Muse song is a bit of a lesser known gem, it's called Darkshines (it's from Origin of Symmetry, their best album) and it's amazing.
Another way to witness the genius of Muse is to listen to Hyper Music and then listen to the B-Side Hyper-Chondriac Music and witness how the same lyrics can be used to express to completely opposite states of mind, it's amazing to listen to those master pieces.
Give these songs ago and then let us know if you like them :)
Well I hate to do it again as an older listener but I remember the first time seeing Muse on Top of the Pops performing Bliss from Origin of Symmetry. I was 13 at the time and was totally hooked. Got the album for my birthday and never looked back. I do feel for the younger generation as there really is nothing out there like this today. We can all be happy Muse are back to making unbelievable songs again I suppose.
Dan Lancaster (produced BMTH’s Sempiternal and That’s The Spirit) is producing this album so I have some huge expectations after hearing this single! I get chills with the riff, I love it! Great reaction!
Yea Dan's work is exceptional!
Thank you and thanks for that info!
That's explains why I got some BMTH vibes the first time hearing this song.
Actually Aleks Von Korff produced the album, Dan Lancaster did mix this track though, not sure if he's doing the whole album, that isn't confirmed
Dan Lancaster worked with Don Broco as well!
That's a big "shut the f*ck up" to all the Muse haters 🤘🤪 haha. AWESOME riffs and the whole thing is just great!!!!
Muse haters?! Is this crap exist? If someone have a brain he don't have a physical capacity to hate muse... ;D
The production is just crazy good. As a Muse fan from way back, all I can say is Yay.
I'm one of those people who remember Muse bursting onto the scene and liked them, but not enough to ever buy an album or bother to see them live. I checked this out yesterday and it made me want to check out some other songs of theirs from recent years that I may have missed. I did already really like Dig Down which I came across through a tv trailer once - it's very different to their usual sound but it's a nice and simple bluesy rock number that I can get on board with. This is definitely one of the most "metal" things I've heard from them. Also made me think of Stockholm Syndrome, as well as In Your World, which I actually mistook for having blast beats at the beginning when I first heard it haha. So now I understand more why there are people who consider them their favourite band. They do experiment and try to take their music into different places, but they somehow always stay uniquely Muse and keep the quality constant.
Incidentally, I ran into Matt Bellamy once when I used to work at Wembley Arena. It wasn't at a show of theirs, it was actually a Madonna concert. He had somehow gotten lost and found his way to our staff break room. I met him on the stairs when coming off my break. He completely innocently went "Sorry, I think I took a wrong turn. Could you show me where I'm meant to be siting?" I looked at him, then to his ticket, then back at him, and went "Errr you're Matt, right?" He said "yes", then I took a second or 2 to get back into work mode and not freak out, and was like "Of course. Right this way..." I have no other recollection of that day.
I'll say that, especially now, with how far they've come as a band seeing them live is an absolute treat. Even if you're not the biggest fan or most familiar with the full catalogue, the shows they put on are incredible. Brilliant productions and they sound incredible.
I will never get tired of reactions from 5:59 onwards. Everyone anticipates a heavy breakdown, but it still exceeds all expectations and is so hard not to feel overwhelmingly hyped, especially when it hits the next gear at 6:06! Classic Muse fans like myself get to be transported back to their older music (though this is still the heaviest stuff they have done).
The face they made is the same one I did when listen to this.
That was insane!!! Been a massive Muse fan since I first them with their Absolution album... But damn that was just something else!
Can we talk about the lyrics though!!? it's the perfect combination! MASTERPIECE
I think the lyrics, reflect perfectly the current situation that we live in.
I just came across your channel. I wish I could have shared the excitement of hearing “Won’t Stand Down” for the first time when it came out! What a great song!
Correct, best since “Stockholm Syndrome “.
I see MUSE at least 2-3 times per tour.
Much love from NYC, USA.
Epic and Flawless no other words needed. Best band on planet by a million miles
This new song is sooo refreshing for them. I fell off this band awhile back but this is amazing 👏.
As a metalhead I never really paid any attention to Muse. This is an incredible song. Will be checking out this album.
They've got some nice metal/heavy gems in their back catalog. Check out the songs Assassin, Stockholm Syndrome and Hyper Music for a start.
Hyper Music, Stockholm Syndrome, and Assassin are a must 100% you could also search Hyper Music (Early Version) where Matt screams the chorus instead of sings it too, it's kinda insane but you can tell it would ruin his voice if he kept doing it lol
@@austinpigza Familiar with one or two of those but listened to all of them. They're grungy but this is the first song with some proper metal chord progressions and drumming.
@@pato10111 What about dead Star?, it's heavy too but i don't know if it's metal.
Haven't been this surprised by a Muse song since Psycho. Wow, that breakdown threw me off 🤯😳
Woooow, just loooooove this song. Big fan of Muse and glad it's heavier sh*t again.... Yay!!
YESSSSSSS. That riffs is just f***ing awesome can't wait for the new album and to see them live again.
Very parasite Eve (BMTH) vibes then found out the got the same producer. Love this direction. I’ve seen MUSE live and they smash when the song is heavy - plug in baby and assassin for instance just pumps. Love this direction!
Can you imagine how hard this will hit when performed live. They always ramp it up for live performances.
i love Muse but this song.... i'm OBSESSED with it. I can't wait for their other new ones they release. 🔥🔥🔥
Fellow Aussie who’s been through so much and when this song came out, omg I so needed it! It gave me so much strength!! ♥️
I for one welcome our new overlords of metalcore
Literally haven't seen that meme in like 5 years at least 😂
I have been watching lots of reactions to this song, specifically people's faces when the first bass hit happens. Your eyes widening were amazing. It's quite different to their last album so it's a pleasant surprise when the bass arrives.
Couldn't have said it better myself, this is exactly what I wanted from Muse, this is the perfect blend of all their styles, if the rest of the album is like this, they have peaked!
Totally agree! They’ve combined all their music styles the past 20+ years into one song! Amazing!
Lmao I also noticed the first note was exactly like Take On Me and I can't get it out of my head haha
So I didn't REALLY get into muse until about 5-6 years ago. Heard a few songs, but didn't know they were muse. Then after waking the fuck up, I DISCOVERED muse. And from a newer fan, looking not through nostalgia glasses, MUSE has always delivered. And they have only gotten better. Every album, they improve tremendously, even if u don't like where they go, they always take you on a musical journey. They can fucking play anything. And their politically driven stuff is the pinacle. This song is already top 10 for me. Long live MUSE. Let's stop STANDING DOWN PEOPLE! Thanks for the video guys, first time watcher 🤘
Been a huge fan ever since high school and this song just absolutely SMASHED. Didn't know you guys were into Muse, but good to see you digged it! 10/10 song and reaction for me🔥
This is amazing - Muse haven’t been on the radar for me for a while but if this is a taste of what’s to come then I’m really excited
It's a phenomenonal song. I can't fucking wait to see this live!!!
I don't expected muse song so heavy a guitar riff so distortion and then have the breakdown & bellamy screaming but i love this song so much
This track gave me eargasm and tears of a releasing joy. MUSE are fucking back!
That shit was nuts! If that's a sample of things to come, I'm definitely pre-ordering that album.
Heard this played on our local radio station and WOW, friggin awesome song - loving it
That reaction at 3:02 was the same as mine but I was driving with my family in the car. Best surprise EVER!! Thank you Muse
You guys are amazing. You always look soo happy . I love it. This is my favorite reaction channel.
It is the one reaction where someone sang 'Take on me' just as I did when I heard it for the first time hahahahha. That was hilarious.
Keep rocking!!
One of the best songs I heard for ages !!!!! ❤🤘🏴
This is only the second song from Muse that I've heard, the first one was Uprising and I haven't listened to that song in years.
Definitely gonna do a deep dive!
Listen to Uprising again and you'll see 2022
Everything off Absolution is flawless.. if you like this song’s vibe, than that album is where you gotta start!
@@Mike-rg2dg I'm digging "oddtv" at the moment. I know he's a flat earther but these tracks... Zombieland, wake up the matrix has you, Illusions, we do not consent, breaking the law, doesn't have to be this way, smoke and Dear NASA,, are amazing 🙏
Begin with their heaviest songs. Stockholm Syndrome, Dead Star, assassin, The handler, Reapers, The small print
The whole Origin of Symmetry album is brilliant. IMO their best.
Hearing that breakdown live is gonna be some next level shit. I live for heavy Muse 🙌
Ohhh this takes me back to BDO 2010, so glad they've gone back to this style for at least one song
5:52 that bit where you both lean back...all Musers reaction at that point in the song😂
Man, even i lean back too 😂
omg I am so glad you guys loved this song!! its amazing and it is one of their best songs to date!!
I agree this is the best song since the Absolution album for me.
This album is fantastic, so made for this time.
This band live is mindblowing. I saw their Drones-tour and that show was sick. Imagine this in a giant stadium!
Hands down one of my favorite bands of all time. Absolute masterpiece!
Been a hot minute 1. Since I’ve watched you guys (sorry, time thing) 2. Since I’ve heard muse.
Saw this & had to tune in - worth it for johnnys reaction!! This was gooood! I actually liked all the different muse stuff and this is awesome- agree it’s like a mix of all.
We forgive you
Now I am weirdly craving a MUSE / MIKA collaboration 😂😂
First BAND cover for this song right here
czcams.com/video/DKYkwTtjU4E/video.html
I have seen muse 6 or 7 times live, they are amazing live. old muse is long gone and havent listened to them in a couple of years, this song is pretty good, really enjoyed it
This one really surprised me….in a good way! I like Muse but I’m not a superfan but now they have my attention! Solid banger! 🤘🏻🔥
I saw these guys for the first & so far only time in 2016, I think, and they put on a helluva show!!! They were the only band we caught from the show, but it was 1000% worth it!!
This reminds me of Dead Star except better because they've come so far musically. I love this song.
this is just mind blowingly amazing
This was such an exciting song to get after their last album, can't wait to hear more from the album
1:52 I thought the same thing when i listened to it for the first time too!!!! 😂
This song is fantastic solos I have no words for these Muses so they are GREAT
absolutely obsessed with won’t stand down 🥲
Goosebumps everytime I hear this new one thinking of how amazing it's gonna be live, just need them to visit us in OZ more....best band of all time🤩
Best review yet IMO. Nothing beats listening to one of your favorite bands tap into their roots and evolve on that sound which is what every major fan of an artist would ever want. You can really see the joy in your guys’ faces and it’s awesome.
Thanks legend 🤘🏽
So glad you did this one! I'm going to see them tonight! :)
Check out muse at the apollo in may. And live at tempelhof in berlin in june, well, I am still recovering.
Just such a sickkkkkkkkk song!!! Yes muse YES!!🙌🙌🙌
Great to hear heavy sounds from Muse. I am excited with this nice combination of heavy sounds + melody. Hope the keep the rest of the album songs as melodical as this one.
As good of a reaction as I expected! Didn't realise you guys were Muse fans, but I had exactly the same thoughts 🙌
Yes! It also reminded me of Grace Kelly - Mika. I could be brown, I could be blue...
I didn't mind some of their songs in simulation theory, 2nd law and even drones. And they weren't their best albums for majority. But I'm sooo hyped for this album after this release! Sounds like a mixture of their newer stuff and old stuff, which I think is the avenue they should've gone with to begin with. Experimental, but elements of their old stuff and classic riffs.
Can't wait to see them live again
Missing they live....great reaction. Thanks
Song just fire 🔥🔥🤘
I agree. I really liked Muse back in the day. I saw them live a few years ago and they rocked but I never really got into their newer stuff. I like the heavy.
First time on the channel and I couldn't agree more with Johnny... this is OLD SCHOOL MUSE and I can only hope they are back to their roots and start doing proper Muse music again! This is just FANTASTIC!! This song is one that I'm pretty sure went to my top Muse songs and that is a pretty hard thing to do because Muse for the first 3/4 albums were, for me, the BEST band in the World!
Please, oh please, don't let this one be just a tease, let the album be all like this!!
I liked Muse before Amazon ever existed and would pay alot of $ to have a CD sent from the UK. I'm that old. This song is amazing....and reflects the state of the world right now. Can't stop listening to it.
Me too 😂😂 still have the cds in my car!
This song is freaking awesome!
they need to do an arena tour once this album drops. desperate to see them live
Went to see them a few years ago they are brilliant live best band Iv seen live
@@demonking9657 would’ve killed to see them at leeds in 2017, hopefully they headline it again in the next few years
@@alfieclark9244 honestly if you can get tickets you have to go aha best experience live
Damn... U Guys killed it! Special greetings from Germany 👍
OMG OMG wouahhhh phénomènal grandiose génies MUSE mondiale merci à vous les gars 🎸🎧👍😱🇨🇵👏🎶🎵🎼
Totally love Muses new shit man Won’t stand down is pumping in my jeep! Bloody awesome! New sub!
He stands out of the wheel chair and the whole song goes to a metal porn song. So hot!
I was never big on Muse before, but this...this is cool. I am excited to hear the supposedly even heavier stuff!
Listen to Assassin from Muse. There is a live version at Mayan 2015 on yt. Loving that song. 🤘🏻
Back here for Johnny's sincere surprised reaction👌
It's the best thing I've heard from them since the black holes era. It's been on continuous loop for days and I'm not at all getting tired of it one bit. As for the video - possibly one of the best I've ever seen. It's haunting but with real depth and compliments the song so perfectly. I had all but given up on Muse after The Resistance but this gives me serious hope.
Absolutely loved your reaction.
Yeh, this is one of the most promising Muse singles I've heard in a long time (and I'm the kind of Muse fan who will utterly defend 2nd Law & Drones as albums) but this is just . . . Wow! I cannot wait to hear this record now.
As for best since Stockholm Syndrome? Arguably, sure. I would say 'Reapers' from Drones has to be in there though too.
Also, you guys need more Biffy reactions. Hunger / Unknown Male was great but they've got so many other excellent songs you need to check out.
Been a fan since 2004, but holy this is back to ROOTS but more modern too. My new gym jam :) Also, if you guys like heavy and dubstep listen to Battle Drums by Kayzo or The Fire by Kayzo
I also thought directly of Video Killed the Radio star !!! hahahahhahaha. Thx , I don't feel alone anymore ! :D
Great reaction with that Aussie humour lads.
I was also blown away by this song when I heard it for the first time. Totally unexpected & very pleasantly surprised with the heavy riffs & crazy breakdown. I'd almost agree with best song since Stockholm Syndrome.
Same reaction as me - love it
❤️muse new song 🔥
I need this 🔥
I love how just before the breakdown at 5:52 they both lean back as if they knew what was coming.
Guys, I absolutely love your reaction!
I have been a fan of Muse for so long now, and love all their stuff, but this heavier sound is amazing!
Apparently the album gets heavier according to the producer!
So good to hear Muse in Drop B tuning. If anyone is interested that ascending progression in the chorus is G E/G# A F#/A# Bm G D F#/C# then dive back down to drop B. Bellamy is a freakin' genius
"Riffs.... Fuck yeah" this was my first thoughts when I heard it too. And those screams from matt... Holy shit.
MOAR HEAVY RIFFS... NEED MOAR
Really enjoyed your video guys.
Appreciate you
Just 💣💣💣💥💥💥💯🙌
"Best song they've released since Stockholm Syndrome"
Correct.
And now that we've heard Kill or be Killed, it's solid, but this is next level.
No doubt this will be a monster track live
I loved the heavy stuff, in the vid the last 20 seconds i can imagine being in a Slipknot vid
Never really got into Muse, but that was a meaty riff! I wish the metalcore scene would take notes.
Metalcore doesn't have meaty riffs? Huh?
Snare,double kick and electronic sound like BMTH
Its really nice to see your reacts guys. Next one, react to the new LANDMARKS song called DEATH. Its pretty sick and i love to see your reaction. Peace guys, take care !
Thank you and coming soon!
