Muse recently released a new single, which is... underwhelming. It's too generic compared to what you might expect from Muse. If I wanted to hear music like this new song, I'd listen to other bands that are known for that sort of sound. I personally don't really like it, although it's probably a bit more radio-friendly than some of their other stuff. Alas. Perhaps the full album might be a bit better overall, but something tells me maybe I shouldn't hold my breath too much.
In any case, I have also recently been listening to Joy Division. In the past, I only really knew Shadowplay and Love Will Tear Us Apart. Shadowplay because the Killers did a cool cover of it, and Love Will Tear Us Apart because it's probably their most famous song. Eventually I ended up listening to the album Unknown Pleasures in full, and today I listened to the album Closer in full.
Interesting music, but admittedly quite depressing, thematically. Although I suppose that's kind of my thing, as far as music taste goes. Joy Division's music has been around for quite awhile, and I'm only really getting into it now. New Dawn Fades is a particular standout for me, along with Twenty Four Hours.
So yeah, gonna keep listening to Joy Division in the new year. Happy belated Valentine's day, folks, and no, I have not had any success yet regarding online dating. No surprises there. I blame it on the fact that I have standards, which isn't such a bad thing, is it?
Oh, and if I hadn't mentioned it in the past, I found out about a new (to me) song about murder, which is always fun. Another one to add to the collection. Pyscho Killer
