I was skeptical because this is truly my all time favourite muse song, and I know when bands remaster/remix its either basically the same with a few minor changes or completely different with a skittering drum beat in the background. This, however, was perfect. I've always loved the song for how it has so many sections, it shows the bands capabilities, Matt as a pianist and a guitarist AND as a singer. Dom showing off how he can do a heavy rock song and then follow Matt along with the slower sections. Chris beautifully matching the bass in every gorgeous subtlety.
The remix kept this, without adding anything too shocking but it was definitely a remix. Guitar parts mixed up, bass part pushed forward ever so slightly, the drums were refined, less background noise. Its different, and I'm so glad that they've been able to do that.
I love Muse TRULY because, much like Radiohead, they keep to themselves and change with what feels right. This demonstrates their change and their maturity since OOS but has kept intact the original beauty of this song that I fell in love with as a little boy when I was about 5 listening to this masterpiece for the frst time.
Hearing it again but remixed, sat in my room with my eyes closed, I felt like I was experiencing it all over again.
Beautiful, truly did the song justice, I love this band.
