Did anyone else buy this hoodie from the store and find the quality to be absolutely dire?

This is what it looks like straight out the bag.

I purchased it once and the size was too big. The quality of that one was bad, but I hoped and prayed that when I reordered in the correct size that it would be better. It's actually worse. And to add insult to injury I had to chase Warner to refund me on my original purchase. I actually asked for an exchange but when they finally answered me they said they could only refund despite having an 'replace' option on the returns form.

I'm so annoyed because the hoodie is actually comfortable and if it was executed properly it would be fantastic. It's expensive for something that looks like it's been worn for 20 years already, and it looks like it's some art kids first attempt at tye dye. It literally has the look of when an item colour runs in the wash.

I'm still in two minds whether to keep it because I've been eyeing it up since it came out, but in respect to myself and my bank account I should return it (again).

It does a disservice to how the band is represented, because it makes them seem shoddy and non chalant if this is official merch. I can definitely get better quality knock offs, which is disappointing.

What MUSE songs have the best, coolest, or most impressive drum fills/solos by Dominic Howard?

In my personal opinion, I like Assassin's fills, and the end to You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween.

What's the best Dom fill in your opinion?

Thanks, Musers

Reminder: No variations of songs are allowed. No "this song but...", no twists that make ok songs unlistenable, only real Muse songs, in the worst order possible to make the experience as unpleasant as possible. This is not a ‘worst song’ ranking or a ‘put shit songs together’ list. It’s a list where songs wouldn’t transition well and sound out of place if played live.

The setlist so far:

1) Intro
2) (JFK)
3) Interlude
4) Get Up And Fight
5) Something Human
6) Knights Of Cydonia
7) Man With A Harmonica
8) Drones
9) Execution Commentary
10) Will Of The People
11) The 2nd Law: Isolated System
12) Overdue
13) Dig Down
14) Compliance
15) (Drill Sergeant)
16) Explorers
17) Who Knows Who
18) Propaganda

What would be the worst song to follow it up?

I've never read a scientific book since graduating and am just repeating what the robotic voice at the start of Unsustainable is saying.

Hi everyone! I play in a tribute band called Moose and this year we had an opportunity to play a set with an orchestra, so we wrote our own scores and made the best we can in terms of producing the DIY show. We recorded the whole set and now publish a video each week and we are already uploaded half of the full set on YouTube

This one is probably my favorite out of all orchestrations I wrote for this project. I like the others too, but this one turned out just like orchestra always been there. Fun fact - I wrote this score while riding the train in between concerts and all I had was my laptop and broken headphones with only right side working, haha

I wish the band would see these videos too and if they ever gonna do a show or re-record their hits with orchestra - I’m ready to gift them these scores or help to write some new arrangements

Feel free to ask questions and leave a feedback, any opinion and support are appreciated

Yeah, their minds are most likely made up on the set by now but I’ll be damned if I’m not trying with every bone in my body.

Hop on the support train on their socials if you feel the same ♥️

I’ve been going through old videos and my son gave me this one to share from The Wiltern in LA in 2022. This was one of the first Muse shows post-Covid and they played Space Dementia, opened with WAFF, and played Citizen and Minimum!

First Muse gig, never to be forgotten. I think this video of the band/crowd sums up the night as a whole

I’m wanting to listen to a muse album today, as I’m not a big fan right now but I really would like to get into them.

Which album would you recommend?

So, I just saw they submitted these for Grammys 2027. I don't know if this has already been discussed, but thought it was worth a thread (let me know if someone posted it before!), do you think they have possibilities in any of the categories? Also, I would've chosen something different for Best Rock song and Best Rock Performance, but each to their own, I guess😅

First try. Guess it’s a new feature on Spotify? Curious who’s gotten a faster time
