Goes for adds May 18th. I wanted "Undisclosed Desires"  EDIT: This isn't actually on "The Resistance" album. It's gonna be on the new Twilight Soundtrack. They can't have quit on the album already. |

I'm sure they will go back to the album after this runs its course. Hopefully, since there's a lot of life left in The Resistance.

do they really want to be known as the twilight band?
MK ultra would've been a great single

This is such a Muse song title it's practically self-parody.

As a Muse fan since Showbiz, I continue to be disappointed with their continued association with the Twilight series and the fans it brings, but whatever.
Personally, I too would have liked them to send "Undisclosed Desires" to Alternative (and maybe CHR?) instead of wasting a new song for this soundtrack.

I heard this on Sirius Alt Nation. Knew it was Muse immediately, though I was surprised I didn't know the song, and thought it must be from a very early album... Song sounds great, might make me buy that damn soundtrack, last time I did that was Spiderman (though I probably would have really liked Transformers if I gave it a chance)!

The past two Twilight soundtracks have been pretty good. Remember "Decode" was on the first soundtrack.  I wanted "Undisclosed Desires" to be the next single. Maybe after this runs its course it'll get released. |

A lot of surprising artists are lending their music to the new Twilight soundtrack:
Vampire Weekend, Beck (with Bat for Lashes), the Bravery, the Dead Weather, Metric, Florence + the Machine, the Black Keys, Fanfarlo, UNKLE, Band of Horses, Cee-Lo, et al., in addition to Muse.
It's hard to fathom that such a mainstream, Hot Topic-catering, dubiously written and acted vampire series has attracted a soundtrack full of credible, indie-leaning bands.

Florence + the Machine, Fanfarlo NO! :'( It's hard to fathom that such a mainstream, Hot Topic-catering, dubiously written and acted vampire series has attracted a soundtrack full of credible, indie-leaning bands. I know, right? What is the motivating factor? Money? I bet it's the money. |

Maybe the producers of the movies really like these bands? Honestly I'm no Twilight fan, but if this endeavor can get these bands out to more people, I'm all for it.

The author of the Twilight series devotes her work to the music of Muse, and has since either item was a big deal. It was really only a matter of time before this match was made.
I was hoping "Undisclosed Desires" would have gotten a shot at their first CHR success, since Matt Bellamy stated it was his favorite song he's ever made, and it just seems like a fail-proof release over there with the time being perfect right now.
But as long as the fans' reaction to songs like "Plug In Baby" at their show remains more toward insanity than "wtf is this?", I'm totally fine with the fanbase boost that this silly Twilight franchise is providing these guys.

I'm not so sure I like hearing about siding with "Twilight." Sure, they will get plenty of fans, but it just takes away the aesthetic of the band when a bunch of screaming teeny boppers like them JUST BECAUSE they were on twilight. Btw, I just heard that this music store, Immergent, is giving out 100 free songs just for telling them what you want to see in a record store...seems like really easy way to get some free music. just wanted to see if anyone else has done this or knows anything else about it?? here is the link: bit.ly/ci356C |

Before all this I would have siad that i'd rather sit through Twilight that listen to a Muse song.
Now it seems like both come together anyway. lol

As long as this doesn't effectively end promotion for TR (Undisclosed Desires is WAITING to hit), then I've got no issue... as long as the song is decent. The soundtracks to these films have actually been pretty damn good.

Radio 1 just played it over here... the melody's quite simple, if a bit cheesy. It's fine.

well, that song's very Muse by numbers (not saying that's a bad thing, though).

This is a very typical Muse song, that's never a bad thing though. Muse are consistently awesome.

It's a bit rubbish me thinks!... but never mind, I'm still a devout Muse fan.
...and why should anyone really give a monkey about the Twilight fan issue... Muse shows are on way past their bedtimes :)

After listening to it twice in a row: They're interrupting the life cycle of The Resistance for this? Really? This ain't no "Lose Yourself" we're dealing with here.

I agree that it's sub-par, but maybe it's for the better. Any Muse song released right now will have a hard time living up to its potential with neither of the last two singles anywhere near ready to fall out of the top 10. I say let this one steal a few spins from "Uprising" and "Resistance", tumble off into obscurity and then let "Undisclosed Desires" do its work. |

At least based on the first listen, I really do not like this at all. It has to be the most generic, formulaic song they've ever done. Somehow this doesn't even feel like a Muse song to me, in spite of having obvious similarities to their past material.
I'm not sure if I agree with some of the bold chart predictions for "Undisclosed Desires", but it would certainly fare better than this. Or at least I'd like to think so.
