So I listened to that new Muse album

They're a good band but um...that album? Ha. Haha. I heard it was epic. Man On The Moon: The End of Day shits on The Resistance. Muse, step your game up.

 

-holds fanboyness back-

 

Who the fuck are you, sir?

 

You do know that it's been called their second worst album so far, right?

 

And that, sir, is why I said they're a good band.

 

Well I agree its not their best album but Kid Cudi's success is no where near as high as Muse's. I mean, besides the fact you're comparing two different genre's, a band to a single person, and other glaring big differences that make them hard to compare to each other.

 

Just making sure :>

Still plan to get it.

 

Oh God, I'll hold back my rage.

 

Personally, I love Muse, but The Resistance is meh :/ I like U.S.E. and Uprising, but the rest is... y'know.

 

Cudi is pretty much as multi-genre as you can get with current rap albums. The only reason he's rap is because he rhymes words. Also, can I compare if I said Cudi & Producers>Muse? ::L:

 

Not if you have only listened to that album.

Origins of Symmetry, Absolution, and Black Holes & Revelations are some of the best albums I've heard. Like, ever.

Would it be ok to say my fave so far is "Map of the Problematique"?

EDIT:

By the way I haven't heard all of their songs as I only own one album so far (blame my lack of much money :<)

 

Sorry John, couldn't help myself.

IN MY OPINION.

Absolution > Showbiz > The Resistance > Origin of Symmetry > Black Holes and Revelations > Hullabaloo

 

As told by Last.fm:

Muse's outstanding genres: alternative rock, rock, alternative, progressive rock, indie

Kid Cudi's outstanding genres: hip-hop, rap, hip hop, alternative rap, house

They overlap but aren't the same. Kid Cudi might be the most multi-genre as far as you can get with rap, but there's no way his sound comes close to Muse's.

this besides the other differences I listed. Like the fact Kid Cudi isnt a band...

And they still dont compare imo, lol.

 

Wait wait, there's a difference between hip-hop and hip hop? Or is Last.fm being ******ed?

 

Those two albums sound more similar than you'd think. Also, Cudi is only the most muti-genre with current rap albums. Theres still B.o.B who has made songs that sound like country music on acid and Charles Hamilton who mixes rap with punk and alternative rock.

I didn't mean to imply he's better than them lol, just his album was better than their new one. Typo on my part.

 

I think hip-hop tends to sound more like pop, while rap is a bit more...I dunno, aggressive? Can't think of a better word at the moment.

No worries.

 

I think that's Last.fm being ******ed, lol.

I guess. I need to listen to more Kid Cudi anyway.

EDIT: 4 guests watching this thread? Damn, haha.

 

Hip-Hop today is mostly that gimmicky ****. Ex: Soulja Boy, Current Wayne, Flo Rida. Rap doesn't have to be aggressive, it's when the artist actually focuses on lyrics and skill rather than using Auto-Tune for an instant hit and saying catchy stuff. Speaking of Auto-Tune, here's B.o.B making fun of it.
