Do you ever just go insane about Map of the Problématique

Um, the chorus of Agitated??? Who gave them the fucking right????

Beautiful, gorgeous, I want it permanently etched into my brain.

Been reading a ton of old Muse interviews and news articles (shout out to Musewiki), and some of the ideas and circumstances that spawned their songs are such bizarre surprise twists. The self-explanatory backstories aside (see: classical music nerd Matt, Origin of Symmetry and shrooms), you also have these gems:

Wanted to make something that sounds like the Strokes: got Starlight instead

Wanted something like Billie Jean: Time Is Running Out

Oh no my guitar broke, guess I'll just yell that part instead: Muscle Museum

Matt goes on holiday at a tropical island paradise: Megalomania

My hometown sucks: Falling Down

Actually, I'm really homesick: Something Human

Dom had a random funky James Brown beat lying around: Citizen Erased

Matt poking fun at his own speech impediment: Propaganda

Really upsetting breakup: Neutron Star Collision

9/11 was stressful for everyone: Dead Star, In Your World

The recession was a Very Bad Thing: Animals

Let's go clubbing in New York: Supermassive Black Hole

A guitar riff so hard it's played by Chris on bass instead: Hysteria

Dehydrated Matt starts hallucinating: Micro Cuts

The sounds every baby makes ever when learning to talk: Madness

Citizen Erased, now with more apocalypse: The Globalist

Matt listens to his dad's old band: Knights of Cydonia

That riff is too redneck, 16 years later: Psycho

What if dubstep but analog: The 2nd Law: Unsustainable

What if heavy metal but piano: Space Dementia

What if surf rock but homicidal: Assassin (Grand Omega Bosses edit)

Our songs are too negative, let's be inspirational for once: Invincible

Hey, technology isn't that bad: the entirety of Simulation Theory

Okay, I think I'm gonna try and put out some super rough demos of one of the songs I've been writing in the next week or two, just enough so the ✨️vibe✨️ gets across.

I can't play drums, so the drums will be non-existent or done electronically, so if they sound bad, I'm sorry.

Brief synopsis of the lyrical content of each one:

Well Deserved-gods either incompetent or cruel wtf ft. Gdim min7 chord and plagal (amen) cadences.

Endlessly-I love you but am too scared to say anything ft. Ambiguous key signature and maj7 chord

Control-Corrupt government is overthrown ft. Triplets and a guitar solo (hopefully lol)

Hopefully this will encourage me to actually finish one fully!
