This is the dupstep-ish song included in the album trailer:




Not bad. Pretty interesting that much of it was done with a guitar

This sounds like subpar movie soundtrack music with random dubstep thrown in. I can't imagine it'd be very interesting to watch live... What happened to you, Muse?? I even liked The Resistance.

2:00-2:50 was pretty alright but the rest of it sounded totally dildos.

Muse is one of the few bands where I can actually say I own hard copies of all their albums. Hope this one somehow sucks less than the resistance did.

Meh. Very mediocre IMO. Leave dubstep to those who can do it well. I appreciate there willingness to branch out, but I can't help thinking they are bandwagoning as it feels quite uninspired. It tis a shame as I like some dubstep and I like Muse, but lets keep it separate. :lol:

i think if it was just the orchestra as the truck minus the guitar dubstep, the song would absolutely beautiful and amazing. The way it is though is pretty cool because, like piggins said, the fact that the dub was made using matts guitar. matts a fucking genius and i will always love muse :)

Just sounded like Muse to me... the dubstep was a small component of the track, and I didn't think it sounded too far removed from "Matt's wacky guitar noodling" that has been on every Muse album...

I was quite enjoying it until the lady came on and then the dubstep kicked in. The cutting up of her voice only serves as an annoyance when you think that they were obviously trying to make a lyrical point. The dubstep itself is mediocre, it's exactly the kind of groove I'd expect from an Enter Shikari song and I really, really dislike Enter Shikari. Literally, you could replace 'unsustainable' with 'destabalise.'

I like it but I do think this is definitely more of a filler track. He's done some cool shit with his guitar though ...who needs a synth when you can have a GUITAR ...synth

They lost me when they ran out of riffs, I think that was at the end of album number 3. Not gonna bother listening. Shame.

I still think it doesn't work. It sounds like really poorly done dubstep. It doesn't have any groove or heavy feel, and just falls flat. All the things that Dubstep relies on to get that heavy feel is lacking from this song's dubstep parts.

Weird choice if this is the single. Song was ok, hopefully the rest of the album isn't quite like this.
