#muse polls

*before i continue i'd just like to make it clear that i mean no disrespect towards anyone and if it comes across that way please let me know. i'm just rambling because i have nothing better to do atm

i was looking through the polls and for the most part those with an older muse song pitted against a more recent one results in the older one winning. by a long shot. why is that?

the old "___'s music gets progressively worse as they age/continue" is rearing its ugly head. now it's one thing to say that you don't like a band's most recent work or something along the lines of that. but it;s another thing entirely to say that a band's music gets worse over the years.

bands don't reach a peak and then decline. or plateau. it's simply not how it works. muse didn't stop getting better after a specific album, you just stopped liking their music after a specific album. to say that their music declined after T2L (just an example) would be like saying that all of the star wars movies after empire suck. sure that's your opinion, but someone else could come along and argue that the franchise peaked at the force awakens. and you have to respect their opinion even if you don't agree with it.

i guess what i'm trying to get at is that drones is just as good of an album as BHAR. and that get up and fight is equal to glorious. or that coma and eternally missed are both amazing b-sides. because you could ask a million different people, and you'll get a whole hodgepodge of answers.

just because the song is newer doesn't mean it's worse. just because you don't like the direction a band is going in sound-wise doesn't make it bad.
