A Sight To Behold reminds me of a Donnas song called Revolver. |

The voicings in the acapella chord were inspired by the Bulgarian Women's Choir. |

But, I don't really hear Muse in this though like some people have mentioned. Muse's tracks are way busier it seems like. Matt Bellamy always sounds like he's playing three guitars at once (assuming he didn't actually record multiple guitar parts). He'd probably have some synth part layered over that as well. Coupled with constantly moving bass and drum parts, it makes for quite an eclectic style. ASTB is just much more unified and homogenous. I do appreciate the effects the vocals, always a nice change up. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

So let me get this straight, do not be afraid - you like the record? I have been steeling myself for a withering attack from you for months

well, i haven't bought it yet — i'm not one of those “OMG! EISLEY HAS A NEW RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE TO GET 6,0000000000000 COPIES THE VERY SECOND IT COMES OUT!” sort of people — and, as i said in one of the other topics, i don't really want to say too much before i've gotten to hear it in full quality, and given it some time to really sink in, but, generally, yes, going off what i heard on myspace, i like the record, but don't love it, and do find it dissapointing, compared to both "Room Noises" and the live versions of the songs that were put up here (and that i heard in person) before the record came out, and i think a lot of that does have to do with the “production.” |

Personally, I like the songs that are a little harder... or have a bit of an edge on them. Many Funerals sounds great and I like the guitars on A Sight To Behold. In the past I've liked Head Against The Sky and Over The Mountains because they were a bit more rockin' than some of the other songs. I fact, I think it was the mix of hard guitars with dreamy tunes and vocals (harmonies) that really sucked me in. With that said, I think the song "Combinations" is near perfect. It is fantastic. My only complaint is with the horns at the end. Not crazy about them. But Ash loves them... so that's just a matter of opinion. I've been wanting to write my review of the album in the review thread... but keep putting it off. And the longer I put it off the more I figure nobody will read it. But it's still something I'm itchin' to do regardless of who will read it. Ugh... why does this forum control my life?! _________________ "If you're a ninja, every day is like friday." -Jamie M. |

They got a tiny bit sparser for Absolution and then went back to doing totally crazy, fat-sounding stuff on Black Holes. Eisley have more people and can pull off a multilayered sound, but they don't quite have Muse's mind-numbing instrumental prowess yet. Dom plays like he has twelve arms, and in addition to being a stunningly fast bassist Chris uses effects that do really impressive things. Eisley can certainly get there, but it would probably be a pretty big departure from what they'd rather do. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I've never gotten a chance to see Muse live, I wonder how they handle all those extra tracks: Recording? guitar nerds offstage playing? skip em? _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart!
