CamdenRob Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Probably would have read a bit better without all the swearing... but no doubt an accurate review. i haven't listened to the album obviously but I expect this is a fairly apt description?

Mr H Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Many years ago I invited Mr Agreeable to send a message to my friend and his new bride for their wedding. Sadly my request got lost on his desk, but I did get an apologetic letter from his personal secretary David Stubbs a few months later.

lemmywinks Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The bit about Freddie Mercury and Bono Muse write the odd really good song, they could do a solid greatest hits album. So much pretentious drivel though, they're the band the skip track button was invented for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought this was a slight return to form for Muse. Definitely their best since Black Holes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 As entertaining as the review are the peevish 'Who do you think you are?' replies from offended Muse customers. And is it really 25 years? Ou sont les neiges d'antan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Riva Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Would work better if he left out the exclamation marks! (and suggested that it be read in the voice of Mark E Smith).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are the neiges d'antan? And don't pretend you don't know. I distinctly recall that you had them last. When you were shooting the video for the Christmas single. Just send them back and we'll say no more about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 "Put it another way; if, back in the day, Freddie Mercury had shagged Bono, Muse are what would have subsequently dribbled from the Irishman's f***ing anus!" Brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
