Muse (Official Thread)

Let's pretend that another one bites the dust, an panic station was released on the same day. Which would you prefer?

Queen, definitely. Personally I don't see the fuss over Panic Station. It's too all over the place for me. I think they could have done better choosing their next single.

"Panic Station" actually. It's a particularly uncharacteristic song for Muse but it's like Stevie Wonder's "Superstitious" mixed with Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" as fronted by late 80's Robert Plant who is doing his best Freddie Mercury impression. That's a lot going on but I do enjoy it quite a bit, not so much as a Muse song but just as a good song.

When I first heard Panic Station, a part of the song (first crops up from around 0:30 - 0:45) reminded me a lot of another, I racked my brains for hours thinking it about it, humming it over and over, then it came to me - Michael Jackson's Thriller

Panic Station, I do like Queen but never really cared for Another One Bites the Dust.

As much of a surprise as it may be for people to believe I agree with you, Tray. "The Game" is one of Queen's biggest album and has two of their biggest hits on it (the formerly mentioned track as well as "Crazy Little Thing Called Love") but it's actually one of the albums by them that I like the least. I really love maybe 3 songs off of it and the rest are all alright at best for me and "Another Bites The Dust" is not one of them.

 

[Tray73]

I don't like Crazy Little Thing... much either, my favourites from The Game are Save Me and Play The Game

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Ba-boom! Mine too. "Sail Away Sweet Sister" would be my third fave from that album.

 

[Tray73]

Well fancy that... great minds & all that

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

So it would seem.

Panic station here as well. It has a much better "flow" I'd say thought he entire song. Another one bites the dust kind of stops at some times and releases all the tension.
