MUSE: Compliance - REACTION

Today we take a look at the MUSE song "Compliance" and we are glad we did!!
‪@muse‬ are an English rock band from Teignmouth, Devon, formed in 1994. The band consists of Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard. Muse released their debut album, Showbiz, in 1999, showcasing Bellamy's falsetto and a melancholic alternative rock style.

Matt took a lot of inspiration from 1984 when writing the resistance album. United States of eurasia specifically is very obviously inspired by the book. I'd recommend giving it a listen.

[@jonathanberry1111]

And the rest inspired by Covid lockdowns and compelled vaccinations.

[@SebHaarfagre]

I remember this album, they had a whole goose chase for people on the forums and I remember piecing together the song you mentioned and I loved it. Then I heard Knights of Cydonia and I *KNEW* they would be absolutely bollocks massively popular and there was no going back from that. I was right...

[@_hardcore_6863]

So, to go deep into MUSE you need to watch: 1 - Darkshines, Hullabaloo live version 2 - Microcuts, Hullabaloo live version 3 - Space dementia, Pinkpop live 5 - Stockholm syndrome, Wembley live (Glastonbury is also GOAT) 6 - Knights of Cydonia, Rome live 7 - Reapers, Mayan live 8 - Unintended, Wembley live 9 - Hysteria, live or studio 10 - Uprising, live or studio 11 - Supermasive black hole, live or studio 12 - Algorithm, live show 13 - City of Delusion, live or studio 14 - New Born, Wembley live 15 - Butterflies and Hurricanes, Wembley live 16 - Unnatural selection, live or studio 17 - Map of the problematique, Wembley live 18 - Muscle Museum, live or studio 19 - Exogenesis Symphonie (real symphonie in 3 parts) 20 - Citizen erased, Reading live 21 - Showbiz, live or studio 22 - Assasin, Mayan live 23 - Muscle Museum, live or studio ......... There are ton's of great music from this band. For 7 years I still haven't heard even a half of their's discography.

[@julianheaps4589]

Solid list. The only one I would change is reapers. Reapers live in cologne Germany is the best one imo

[@dapidapidap]

I would add Unsustainable live version to the list! Mind blowing

[@helenmills2129]

Thanks for another Muse reaction 🙏personally I prefer the first 3 albums, always live , but I do really like the latest album, you’ve already done KOBK and Compliance, you should check out Won’t stand down. 😊

[@theapein]

If you want Muse song with message try also reacting to Muse MK Ultra, sick rifs and strong message

[@dsxndoval]

such an underrated song

[@theapein]

@@dsxndoval True. I love how HARD the song goes and Matt's vocals in it and riffs and everything... Even music video is so strong message... I wish more people would react to it

[@dsxndoval]

@@theapein yeah for sure, i just wish more people knew about muse in general, i’m in the US, they aren’t very well known here, they deserve it 100%, i’m guessing that’s why they’re playing a lot here this tour, to get to get known

[@DonHaka]

Another really underrated song from the same album is Unnatural Selection!

[@adrianstjohn4820]

Butterflies and hurricanes live at Wembley stadium is amazing

[@carmendurnell5525]

You are right when you say that every song sounds different. Each album sounds different from the last one, and that is something I love about them. You just always know that no matter what they put out--it is always going to be creative and awesome. I remember when I first heard "Compliance," I was like, "WHAT?! THIS IS SO AWESOME!"

[@lydiavasso6453]

You guys give the most insightful take outs than the majority of reactors in here, both of you, great comments. Please, please react to Butterflies and Hurricanes Live from Wembley. You can fully watch the range of them. And most probably will love Dom (the drummer) even more. And a little surprise from Matt. Enjoy!

[@renwynoutcast]

The eyes are the windows of the soul. The singers have an inner light showing through their eyes, the masked people have black eyes with their inner lights extinguished.

[@cryptojohndoe4923]

Do more old Muse first 4 albums are insane And Thanks appreciate your videos

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

The genius of this song is in the paring of the song and the music video. The song is easy to listen to, it's pop, the lyrics sound great and it's easy to agree with the message. Then you watch the music video, and you realize everything is backward. Great social commentary.

[@originbliss9488]

Great reaction! I recommend the songs 'Knights of Cydonia (Live at Rome Olympic Stadium), 'New Born', 'Plug in Baby', 'Uprising', 'Time is Running Out', 'Citizen Erased', 'Micro Cuts (live at Le Zenith) to name a few

[@christianehachet2859]

Hello dears, you were looking for slow songs and you have an amazing one in this album called Ghosts the first time I playd it I was blown away Matt's voice is incredible, the melody amazing and the lyrics linked to the personns dead from covid

[@michaelherron7444]

Great reaction, yeh love the baseline when kicks in at the beginning, can't wait for the muse journey :) would love you's to react to mk ultra from muse with the improved audio, cnt wait for more reactions:)

[@elenad3556]

Guys, thank you, I really love your Muse reactions, they are the best I've seen. Please do more. I would love if you check out their early stuff as well. If you want your minds blown completely, please watch Micro Cuts live at Zenith Paris 2001 (Hullabaloo DVD). All Muse fans love reactions to this song (and that particular live performance), trust me on that. It is a very special one for us.

[@shkimshady]

Subbed! Knights of Cydonia (Live at Rome Olympic Stadium) is worth reacting to. My go-to rec for people new to Muse. It's been there finale for every show for several years. This one specifically has really good sound, camerawork, and a killer stadium crowd. Just fun

[@dsxndoval]

i would check out “Dead Star” by muse

[@bartbrouwer97]

Would love to see you react to We Are F*ing F*ed from the same album, think you guys would love it! Reapers and The Handler would also be very much up your ally

[@MUSEandredpandas]

MUSE babyyyyy! still my favorite band. first heard them in 2005 or 2006.

[@kaileescott3437]

Muse has always been very politically based since the beginning. But I think it very much heightens their music. Especially with this funky backbeat being "laid back". It's so cool to go through there whole discography to see the things they talk about hasn't very much changed but went with the modern curve through the years! Great reaction! The 2nd law is my favorite album. A perfect mix between heavy but also electronic

[@Dan-os9kg]

If you like the heavier stuff won't stand down 👍🏻

[@scifimonkey3]

Next up should be ‘plug in baby’ or ‘Knights of Cydonia’ live from the Rome Olympic stadium. That will show you what Muse is really about.

[@drewdrake4451]

You guys will LOVE 'Won't Stand Down'. The order of release was: Won't Stand Down Compliance Will Of The People Kill or Be Killed Ghosts (How Can I Move On). Mask's also show up in Verona...as in Verona Gyrus ;) Definitely check the album out. Buuuuuuuut, if you want to rock your socks off (They have been and always will be a ROCK BAND first) then try out Reapers.

[@hailingfromlyra777]

This is just my take, but maybe the glowing eyes means those three people who started the fire are awake, that they are alive (unlike the people in like who have black/dull eyes like holes). I love your Muse reactions, as they feel like genuine reactions (unlike other KZbinrs who fake it). I can’t wait for Muse from you guys ❤❤❤ Also, completely know what you’re talking about with the lyrics 😉 Uprising is what got me into Muse purely for the lyrics, especially the line “If you could flick a switch and open your third eye, you’d see we should never be afraid to die”. Ruled By Secrecy is another great song (my personal favourite) and talks about the freemasonry and secrecy society’s that controlled the world (past tense).

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

Same theme with their song "Dead Inside." The people who are dead inside have black eyes.

The drums, so good. Outstanding production, not a whole lot of toms in music today.

Parfait excellent phénomènal écoutez moi ça un bijou MUSE j'adore génies et qu'elle voix wouahhhh et pas que Merci les gars 💖🙏👏👍🎼🎶🎸🎵salutations de France

[@cruzferrervieyra]

Do "citizen erased" if you guys are into prog rock!

[@PeglegSailor]

The music is meant to be positive and uplifting, with a lyric message of control, to make the message sound good instead of nefarious. A subliminal message of force hidden in a bouncy, funky anthem.

[@ar0jj]

Great job guys!!! Listen “You make me feel like it’s Halloween 🎃” of MUSE, this is a song with gifts for us! Greetings from México 🇲🇽

[@plaindave]

What will really bake your noodle is that this is a few songs before Kill or be Killed on the same album. Eclectic.

[@tonyaraujo1044]

Can you guys make muse reactions all days 😅 💪🤘

[@kocist76]

Won't stand down is like a sequel (50 years later) to this.

[@ntinosprajohn4656]

React to muse- the handler, live at napa California 2018

[@ricardoocana2793]

Please react to Take a Bow or Butterflies and Hurracaines !!! That 2 are a master piece in Muse History , Great video u won a sub :)

[@josen211]

Hi, I highly recommend you guys to check Micro cuts song and Eternally missed of Muse.

[@adammoyer5037]

You gotta do don't stand down. You'll love it

[@danielmannandersen2332]

the music videos are kinda meant to be watched in order of release, as they're all (the main single releases) tied together. So visual style would've made more sense, if you had watched the first single "Wont Stand Down" and the music video that starts the narrative and "visual style and themes" of the album and the world tour they're about to begin in Mexico this month, which I guess will be reflected in their live stage show EDIT: Wont Stand Down is indeed the first, its actually a heavy song, but more like Compiance and Kill or be Killed had a child together

[@christianehachet2859]

Yiyhave another one more amazing if possible, it is Verona you will have Musebumps while listening to this song, beleive me

[@sethrobinson458]

Resistance by muse is basically 1984 its amazing, but my top 3 suggestions you have to react to hysteria, the globalist and bliss. The globalist is the most muse thing they have ever done and it is like every album in one, Bliss is just, well, bliss. Perfect, but do the live version. And hysteria shoes of how talented the drummer and the bass are

[@christianehachet2859]

You should also try Reapers live from Cologne (Germany) you will hear Matt's virtuosity on his amazing guitar and watch it until the end yoy hear a break down

[@tommacpherson5852]

You guys will definitely like Won't Stand Down. I'd love to hear you guys react to Resistance if you like 1984.

[@ChameleonDance]

Knights of Cydonia is an essential muse track if you're looking for more ideas reactions. Studio version or any live version, maybe with the 'man with a harmonica intro'

[@SebHaarfagre]

I love it how you guys never mentioned the Knight Rider theme on the synth 😂 It's in the background and I was surprise you didn't so I guess you have no relation to it; but the first time I heard it in the song I laughed. It's 100% intentional from them. The Simulation Theory album must have had some inspiration from Kavinsky as well. Edit: I don't know if it comes through, but I've been a fan of them for over 20 years. I'm just saying they're hyper intelligent but also very cheeky :D They like to express themselves on huge subjects but also to keep it bearable and interesting - I don't know how to describe it but... it's like... "you know. We know. Now let's have some fun"

[@berniephillips3420]

Please please please do knights of Cydonia 😍😍😍 It will blow you away 😂

[@robertobustamante9694]

Muse showbiz please!! 🎉🎉

Check theses 2 songs Time is Running Out / new born - (Live @ Glastonbury 2004) Plug In Baby - Live At Rome Olympic Stadium

[@drewdrake4451]

There IS something there. That's why it's in reverse ;)

[@oliviamarti4833]

Thanks for this react 🔥💯 WE are fucking fucked pleaaase 🙏🤞

[@fridolfk]

This commentary makes me want you to check out Citizen Erased. Ngl tho Muse do a lot on this theme, with the government and all that. Another favourite is Butterflies and Hurricanes, that's a VERY impressive song. From this album definitely check out Won't Stand Down, Euphoria (personal favourite) and We are fucking fucked. OR other newer stuff includes The Globalist from Drones, then there's a lot of fun stuff from Simulation Theory which has a whole concept.

[@fridolfk]

Once you start recommending songs to people you really can't stop..... hah

[@juttaman25]

Try the first release of this album for new MUSE heavy. It’s dropB tastiness

[@juttaman25]

WONT STAND DOWN

[@dsxndoval]

this whole album is completely different from song to song the order of the album (song wise) is Will Of The People Compliance Liberation Won’t Stand Down Ghosts (How Can I Move On) You Make Me Feel Like Its Halloween Kill or Be Killed Verona Euphoria We Are Fucking Fucked

[@BooToadstool]

If you want more funky basslines, i can recommned you a few songs: The Groove Crying Shame Assassin Panic Station Supermassive Black Hole

[@warp8119]

especially panic station lol

[@Hugohhhgg]

Anyone who reviews or likes Muse gets a sub! Great stuff guys

[@Airese]

You guys gotta listen to We are fucking fucked. That song should give you a good reaction.

[@ianbrinton]

This album, Will of the people, leads me to believe that MUSE is very based.. The last song is called we are so fucking fucked.

[@jeanleonardobernardo4040]

React to Reapers by Muse live at Cologne

[@adammoyer5037]

This song is about now.. COVID-19 Era masks and rules

[@proevoisace7]

First 4 albums and always watch them live, cant go wrong, later stuff isnt for everyone

Watch hysteria by muse, best baseline ever

[@EmanuelGarcia-mr3xh]

U Should try New Born!!!

[@DonHaka]

I find your discussions to be very interresting, however, i would like to add that these types of lyrics "we can save you, just give us your compliance, we know whats best for you" etc, aren't exclusively related to governments. It could also be about cults, religion etc. I do however agree with the premise that in this particular song it is more about governments, as the whole theme of the album is rebellion against "the emperors" as mentioned in the song 'Will Of The People'. I completely disagree with your belief that "government isn't gonna save you". This completely depends on what type of people are in government. If all the people in the government are millionaires and billionaires, then yes. The rich (who belong to a very small minority of people in any country) do not care about the average person. They only care about one thing, getting more money. So yeah, if you have a government completely made up of people who do not and cannot relate to the common working man, then you're gonna have a government that lies, decieves and focuses only on lining their pockets. Your point about the masks is right on! I want to say that this particular situation isn't at all far removed from our current day society. It is in the interrest of the ruling class (the bourgeoisie) that the working class is stripped of all identity, turning everybody who isn't rich into another cog in the machine. They have been doing so for a while now. The introduction of "consumerism" as we call it is one of them. Essentially it means that today, we are defined by the things we consume, the things we buy. Pair that with the constant bombardment of ads from all these worthless private companies telling you what to buy in order to feel better. Another thing they do, and have been doing for quite a while, is dumbing down the population. They started that a long time ago by cutting funds to public schools and all other amenities. They (our corporate overlords) don't want us to be capable of critical thinking. Whenever the government cuts funding to public amenities you should always be worried. I highly recommend reacting to George Carlin's bit titled "Dumb Americans" if you haven't already. Cheers!

[@danielsferragatta6558]

Listen to Wan't stand down

[@nicklenz7030]

What I find interesting, but I maybe alone with this thought: On the album there is a song called "Euphoria".. I interpret this as the call of the masses that fell into line as required in "Compliance", calling for the soothing drugs ipolitics) to keep them happily compliant.

[@tommym5023]

To be fair,this was a bad choice . One of the more experimental tracks and the only muse tune I do not particularly like.
