Sounds like flat Depeche Mode. "Flat" in the flat diet pepsi sense, not in the musical sense.

They also made a surprisingly good movie of it starring the always excellent John Hurt as Winston Smith and Richard Burton in his last role as O'Brien. One of the few movies that is worthy of the book it is based on. |

Playing a song from a concept album about Orwell's 1984 would certainly raise the intellectual tone of Eurovision, right enough, but sadly this is a couple of orders of magnitude more interesting and complex than Eurovision. This was the first Muse album I bought, courtesy of hearing tracks from it on RP, and IMO it's still their best. 9 from the Nottingham jury. Oh, and I keep saying this, but I would strongly recommend that anyone who's not read 1984 to do so as it has very strong resonances with current events, particularly the near-totalitarian surveillance in many Western countries, including the US and UK. |

Agreed. I've heard some other Muse stuff on RP and liked it so I was dismayed when I heard this was a Muse song.
They play this song on the radio a fair bit and I REALLY dislike it, regardless of what the song's based on.
IMHO: cheesy lyrics + over-the-top dramatic expression of the lead singer = very wince-worthy song.

I don't know why, but this works. I am not over 50, but usually having the same musical taste of males aged 20-25 is NOT a good thing and this is certainly no exception! |

My favorite song by a GREAT band! And I'm rapidly becoming an old fart. I think they're great, have interesting songwriting chops, and a lead man who can ACTUALLY SING. This generation's Queen. Good times.

Got this album not long after it came out and it rocks! Also saw them at Austin City Limits last month - very good show. They did a big rock show a la 1970s-80s with fancy light show including lasers, etc. Sound was very good as well. Would see them live again.

Got to go and sit in a quiet place and think about that...
My Dad, born in 1929, saw Frank Zappa on TV around the time I was 15 (around 1977). My Dad thought he was amazing. I instantly thought my Dad was cool. |

I don't know why, but this works. I think you need to adjust that age bracket a bit. Maybe I'm anomalous, but I'm 31 and I HATE this band. Maybe make it more like "aged 14-22". |

Saw them in March in Baltimore. Was only a casual fan, only knowing the songs on the radio. This song blew me away. Their stage show was amazing. Easily one of the best shows I've ever been to, despite a crap facility.
