Gabriel: "I love when Matt is not afraid to use his falsetto" Matt: "You said Micro Cuts was next??? Then you are going to love this"

Hey Gabriel, loving the Muse reactions. If you haven't recorded the Micro Cuts vid may I suggest the version from the anniversary remastered album muse released last year? Its a more dramatic version then the original with a fair few musical elements that where toned down in the original release. Same applies for Space Dementia if you ever react to that. Great work man, keep it up.

@@letiquia That's cool each to their own dude, not everyone likes the remasters and I get that. I actually like that he opts for the studio versions over live myself as for some reason people always focus on their live stuff and forget their genius on their albums. Just a suggestion and it's up to Gabriel which he goes for and I'm cool with whatever he chooses. Maybe one day he'll get to do both?

My favourite muse song. This song is a journey. Sometimes you better close your eyes to have better experience. Eargasm. This song more badass live. And there's a new remix 20th anniversary version which has a better production.

This song used to be my alarm in college. That Main Riff gives me a sense of urgency lmao

Butterflies and hurricanes is one of their very best songs.

They have a live/b-side album called hullabaloo. I think you will really enjoy the b-side half. It has some of their most experimental tracks and would have made an interesting studio album. Shrinking universe, yes please, ashamed, nature_1 and Recess

One of my favorite songs by MUSE! It just take you on a journey. Love every second of it. Perfect headphone song too!

You have a great taste man! Thank you for being sincere. I'm glad you are enjoying muse. We Muse fans enjoy watching you too. Cheers!

i have been waiting for this reaction to come out for the whole day! I'm so glad you liked it!! Yes, it is perfect, it combines all the elements that make Muse great, it's varied, it's so emotional but also really technical. It's a wonderful journey to when he starts with that heavy-harmonics riff to when he ends it on that tearful piano ending. Ah, to be you and experience this song again for the first time... BTW, Normally, Matt plays a 7-string guitar live, but he recorded it with a bass string on a normal 6 string guitar in Drop A. I think Micro Cuts will be more of your liking as it's much heavier, especially in the end.. Also yeah, the ending of Citizen Erased leads into Micro Cuts.

I agree with you, really great song!! I also got those Pink Floyd vibes in the one section you did in particular. The slow sections also made me think a bit of David Bowie circa his "Heathen" album. Great stuff!

Really loved how Matt kind of went crazy with that solo. Haha.

Aw man I'm loving just going through your muse reactions from these old albums. Bringing up so much wistful nostalgia from my younger days. This particular song I remember making me feel ... not melancholy but something like it. Just human, alive, sad, but not upset. Hard to explain. Anyway thanks for doing these!

Also, I grew up with this version but as others have already mentioned, Muse released a 20 years Anniversary version of the whole album. Many say the instruments sound crispier and more clear on the new version, but I'm already used to the muddy sound of the original mix. I'd suggest just like you are doing on studio vs live, that you stick with the Original releases instead of the new versions.

As someone else mentioned, they released a fully remastered version of Origin of Symmetry last year. Sounds more refined and layered. Worth a listen!

The soft parts of this song are so beautiful. The heavy sections take away from the ethereal melancholy mood.

Dude i love everything you say. Finally it fits better to you to do the studio versions. Keep it up.

I love how you immerse yourself in bands and am loving your Muse exploration, don’t stop now there is so much more to explore. That said…….. I suggest you check our Porcupine tree (circa 10 albums to go at) and the solo work of their lead singer and composer Steven Wilson (circa 5 albums). I think you will love a lot of their work based on what you have said about Muse. It sits somewhere between the prog of Pink Floyd and the metal of Opeth but like muse it is very difficult to pin them down to a genre as every song is quite different. For Porcupine tree i would suggest ‘Trains’, ‘Open car’, ‘Lazarus’,,‘ Hatesong’, and ‘Fear of a blank planet’ as rounded starting point. They have some epic long songs but maybe check out the shorter ones first

Such a great song. Love watching your reaction ❤️

Chris is using a lot of effects in his bass sounds, including synth. So when you hear rytmic synth sounds on their songs, its likely to be the bass😎

I've always been of the belief that Citizen Erased is to Muse what Bohemian Rhapsody was to Queen. Except Citizen Erased doesn't seem to be as well known as other Muse songs.

This song literally gets stuck in your head and you can’t listen to it enough to get tired of it, it’s an issue.

To echo a few other comments, really enjoyed you enjoying what is probably my fave Muse song. If you haven’t already (still working my way through your vids), check out Dead Star and Eternally Missed!

I don't know if anyone pointed this out already but last year they released a 20th Anniversary Remix Edition of this album. It doesn't radically change the sound of the songs or anything like that, it's more just cleaning up the tracks giving them more clarity and sounding less crushed. Some of the songs really benefit from it.
