Muse Disc Guide - The Resistance [STYLE Series #004 - Muse (August 2010)]

The Resistance

IN MUSIC Having established themselves as a stadium-class national band in the UK, their fourth world tour took them to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. They conquered five continents. Having gone as far as they could musically with their last album, it was interesting to see what direction Muse would take next, but this time they decided to venture into new territory by self-producing without using an outside producer.

So far, each album has evolved to become more dense, more exaggerated, more massive, more dynamic, more varied…… at times it leaves the listener shaken, wondering, "Can they pull it off this far!?" How far will they go without a third party to stop them? This album, which we greeted with such expectations and a touch of anxiety, was surprisingly clear-cut with its finish.

After a barrage of songs that mastered electronic elements in a modern way, such as electro-glam (1/ Uprising), 80s-style synth drums and piano with a gorgeous chorus (2/ Resistance) and R&B-style electropop (3/ Undisclosed Desires) that reminded me of Depeche Mode, the following song (4/ United States Of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)) turned into a magnificent and grandiose rock opera. The Arabic music-like interlude with piano and strings in the middle of the song is full of power! This was a result of making use of their experiences in the Middle East. The final section leads into Chopin's Nocturne No. 2, a development that might not have been possible if an outside producer had been present. Similarly, the last three pieces are three-part rock symphonies by Matthew. His classical taste is on full display.

The relatively unprocessed infusion of all three tastes from the trio balances the overall ups and downs of this album, which is generally dominated by mid-tempo songs, except for (6/ Unnatural Selection) and (7/ MK Ultra), where the heavy, intense guitars explode into a gallop. The album became a worldwide smash hit, to the surprise of the band themselves, who said, "We did whatever we wanted." —Sumi Imai

2009 Hit Albums

Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga were the stars of the 2009 scene. Michael was scheduled to perform 50 shows of 'This Is It' at London's O2 Arena from July 13th, 2009, but died suddenly on June 25th. While the world was in a state of surprise and sadness, the documentary film of the same name, featuring rehearsal footage, became an unprecedented blockbuster hit. Meanwhile, the momentum of 'The Fame', released by Gaga in 2008, continued unabated, and the eight-track 'The Monster', released in 2009 as a coupling (A/ The Fame Monster) to the reissue of 'The Fame', was also a big hit, including 'Bad Romance' and 'Telephone' with Beyoncé. Beyoncé and other female artists were also in high spirits, with Grammy winners Taylor Swift (B/ Fearless) and KE$HA constantly making noise on the stage. It was also in 2009 that Susan Boyle, a plain middle-aged Scottish woman, attracted attention on the popular audition programme ‘Britain's Got Talent’ and made her long-sought album debut with ‘I Dreamed a Dream’.

Among rock bands, U2 (C/ No Line On The Horizon), Pearl Jam, Green Day, and Jets released new albums one after the other. Among young artists, Animal Collective's (D/ Merryweather Post Pavilion), The Horrors, and Grizzly Bear attracted attention with their new releases. Among solo artists, the young UK singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini's (E/ Sunny Side Up) and Canadian Michael Bublé's (F/ Crazy Love) were big hits. The latter in particular appealed to a wide audience and was a huge success, topping the album charts in the US, UK, and other countries.

IN LYRICS

Inseparable from this album is George Orwell's 1984. (2/ Resistance) is about forbidden love under surveillance and information control, and (4/ United States Of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)) about perpetual war to maintain the power of the rulers (the title is taken from American political scientist Zbigniew Brzezinski's 1997 book, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives). Both clearly follow the world of '1984', but in fact the lyrics can also be seen as a reference to the ‘crisis of the moment’ in the sense that they illuminate the geopolitics of post-9/11, with today's controlled society in which individuals and their information can be monitored from every angle, from CCTVs to satellites on the ground and eventually the internet network. The lyrics can also be seen as a reference to the ‘current crisis’. (1/ Uprising) and (7/ MK Ultra), which deal with mind control, also encompass a similar worldview, but at the same time Matthew tries to present a critical perspective on the crisis and hope by confronting the unshakable will and love that lies beyond it, in a situation where the ‘individual’ is being lost. This is the deeper meaning behind the song titles ‘Uprising’ and ‘Resistance’.

"Love" is also the warp of the lyrical universe, with occasional moments of overt expression. In an interview with Q magazine, Matthew says, ‘It's a personal song about me and my girlfriend’ (3/ Undisclosed Desires), which is a typical example of this. The song is Muse's version of a ‘hymn to love’, a sublime love song.

When I heard the news that Muse were to perform with U2's The Edge on stage at Glastonbury in 2010, it occurred to me that ‘The lyrics of both bands share a common language of “protest” and “love”’. Matthew's world will continue to grow in scale within the time axis of ‘now’. —Abe Kaoru

The discussion of aubrey's blackness has nothing to do with him being mixed, being biracial, or being light skinned. It has to do with the fact that a mixed Canadian boy, raised by a white mom in an upper middle class Toronto, has crafted a persona for himself emulating and glorifying (some of the worst parts of) black american rap culture, a persona that he wears like costume to make himself appear "more black" and thus "more legitimate" to the industry he is a part of.

He wants all the benefits of blackness while simultaneously engaging in anti-blackness and colourism. Yes, PLENTY of other rappers do the exact same thing (perpetuate anti-blackness and colourism). But drake paraded his father's existence around as a way to make sure people knew he was A Real Negro™. He affects a blaccent that we KNOW he doesn't actually have. He truly uses his blackness as a tool for success and takes it off when it's not beneficial. That's not something fully black people have the luxury of. When you get down to the brass tacks, he is something of a culture vulture because of this. Kendrick recognizes that drake is black, but that he's only black when it suits him and THAT is the problem. That's why people want to "revoke his black card" and it's why Ken says he personally takes issue with drake using n*gga. People are misinterpreting this as him coming for drake for being mixed or light skinned, for him not being really black. The truth is he is coming for drake for being someone who has crafted a persona of blackness for himself and used the clout of other black artists in the industry to build himself‚ his clout‚ and his reputation as a black artist up while being both anti-black and mixed. His work with other black rappers (who rap about lived experience as opposed to emulating it) feels like colonization instead of collaboration. It's similar to the kind of heat another artist caught not long ago: being black when it benefited them but '''opting out''' (if you will) when it didn't.

Mixed people will always have a seat at the table— Kendrick even extends that offer to drake's son, meaning he recognizes mixed people's blackness. The real issue is that no one likes it when mixed people are anti-black and engage in misogynoir, but then profit off of their blackness in the same breath. And it feels a bit disingenuous to ignore that valid complaint and instead make it about *black people trying to police who the Real Blacks are*.

You're message is so confusing anon because you start by saying that Drake's blackness isn't the issue then go on to enumerate issues related to with whiteness : "mixed Canadian mom" "suburban white mom"

Sorry but pulling out a persona is a thing for a bunch of Black rap artists - male or female. For example Megan the Stallion comes from a regular family. She wasn't in that hood rap shit and yet started to mingle with pos like Tory Lanez, when her initial social background would never make her meet men like that. Mixed/light skin rap girl hang around (dark skin) hood chick all the time and I see no one seethe against them of performing Blackness or pulling out persona to appear "more Black" (i.e Ice Spice)

Unambitious rap artists surround themselves with "bad guys" for additional street cred all the times and no one says shit.

But it's a problem for Drake precisely because he's not fully Black, so there will always be a suspicion

And I don't get the sudden gatekeeping of USAmerican rap culture when US rappers are themselves leeches to other musical scene and foreign music genre & culture to spice up their music 🤔

So getting mad at Drake because he.....fakes his accent (the only criticism that's not found in plentiful of other rappers) sounds super silly to me.

Him being mixed is definitely an aggravating factor for all this criticism and I'm tired of people acting like it wasn't lol

Over the course of a long career, the American singer Marlena Shaw moved from jazz to soul and back again, searching for settings that would best enhance her fine voice. In later decades she commanded the allegiance of the British fans of the rare-groove movement, who rediscovered and particularly cherished her version, released in 1969, of a much recorded song called California Soul.

Shaw, who has died aged 81, made her first stage appearance at the Apollo theatre in Harlem, New York, when she was 10 years old. Billie Holiday was still alive and Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington were other inescapable influences on a jazz-inclined teenage singer seemingly destined to work with big bands in dancehalls and smaller groups in nightclubs. In her later years she became familiar with the sound of hip-hop artists basing their hits on samples from her singles and album tracks.

Shaw’s recording of California Soul, a song written by Valerie Simpson and Nickolas Ashford, popped up in Gang Starr’s Check the Technique and Stereo MCs’ Sofisticated. It was also used in American TV commercials for Dockers shoes, KFC fast food and Dodge trucks, and in 2022 it was awarded an official gold record by the British Phonographic Industry.

Born Marlina Burgess in New Rochelle, New York, she showed musical talent from an early age and was given her first opportunity to take the stage in 1952 by her uncle, Jimmy Burgess, a trumpeter and bandleader who was performing at the Apollo. It was through his tuition that she acquired her understanding of jazz phrasing, while her mother encouraged her to study music at New York State Teachers’ College in Potsdam, a small town close to the Canadian border.

But she failed to complete the course, marrying young and bringing up five children before picking up the threads of a performing career that had barely begun. There were more false starts. In 1963 she missed an appearance at the Newport jazz festival with the trumpeter Howard McGhee after an argument with the musicians, and an attack of nerves ruined an audition with the great talent scout John Hammond, who had signed Holiday and Bob Dylan, among many others.

But in 1966, while singing at the Playboy Club in Chicago, she was signed up by the locally based Chess label, the home of many popular soul and R&B performers. Her first single was a vocal version of Joe Zawinul’s gospel-style tune Mercy Mercy Mercy, which had been an instrumental hit for Cannonball Adderley.

In 1968 Shaw toured Europe with Count Basie’s orchestra, involving the bandleader in an amusing routine as she improvised new words to Won’t You Come Home, Bill Bailey? It was while appearing with Basie at the Sands hotel in Las Vegas that she decided to make the gambling capital her home, moving there in 1970.

A contract with the Blue Note label led to a series of albums in a smooth soul-jazz style, including one recorded live at the Montreux jazz festival. The title and content of another album, Who Is This Bitch, Anyway?, indicated a desire to challenge the then-current popularity of the sexually explicit singer Millie Jackson.

A move to the Columbia label in 1977 saw her transforming Carole King and Gerry Goffin’s Go Away Little Girl, originally recorded by Bobby Vee, from a lovelorn ballad into a statement of female independence introduced by a lengthy rap directed at a feckless, workshy lover: “I figure if I’ve got to get up and go to work every day, then every able-bodied in the household is supposed to get up and go … If for some reason you feel that you can no longer be the man you were at the beginning of our relationship, then I’ve got this one thing to lay on you, my sweet. Go away, little boy …” But eventually the attitude softens, and after a seduction scene the song fades out on a note of surrender: “You think you can get a job by Thursday? You promise? Then you might as well stay … Don’t go away … ”

It became one of her most popular songs in live performance, the prefatory rap acquiring extra twists, turns, and layers of sardonic saltiness. At the New Morning club in Paris in 2010, the man in the song had become someone who had picked her up at an airport giftshop, its final scene acted out with elaborately dramatised hand gestures, smiles, laughter and a winning command of her audience.

An elegant presence on the concert stage, she sang with a symphony orchestra in New Zealand and toured for four years with Sammy Davis Jr. There were further recordings for the Verve, Concord and South Bay labels, and in 1989 a duet with Joe Williams, another former Basie singer, on an update of the old Louis Jordan song Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby earned her a Grammy nomination.

Shaw ceased all professional activity in 2016, retiring to her home in Las Vegas. Her survivors include her daughters April and Marla, a son, Robert, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Just looking at the scores across Next Gen, Ontario Sectionals and the Quebec competition and Junior Dance might just turn out to be the toughest, least pre-determined contest at nationals! The Canadian junior field was looking like a wasteland until the rule change. But Veillon/Brandys can make up almost all of what they lost to Nyugen/Giang at Next Gen by sorting out their paso and ditching that choreo lift in the FD that’s getting zero or negative GOE. Then Gauthier/Thieren did well in Quebec but weren’t scored as comparatively highly as I thought they might be. Cincon-Debout/Celestino have hugely improved - her posture! Tessa would approve! - that FD is stunning and will go down a storm with a crowd, and they were barely behind G/T in the free, which rather set the cat among the pigeons. Suddenly it’s looking like a real four way fight for only two world spots, and no team will get away with a bobbled twizzle. I guess we should just enjoy them while they’re still getting assignments before they all go senior and Skate Canada never gives them another opportunity again.

ooh i'm really excited about Canadian junior dance this season - it's true, the age rule keeping Nguyen/Giang in the field and bringing Gauthier/Thieren back gives some unexpected depth to the field. N/G i haven't seen live, though obvs they're one of the top contenders

Cincon-Debout/Celestino - their Artist FD is totally delightful - i love it. the fact that it's Jean-Luc Baker's is ❤️ this team are lovely performers, and i agree with you about her carriage. (it seems like many of the Montreal juniors have dance training, with more of the female partners with the willowy arms and the ballet back) - seeing them live vs on a stream highlighted that they skate kind of small - the relative lack of power and ice coverage does make a difference in the impact of the program live. so i'm curious to see how they'll be scored at their JGPs

Layla/Alex have the most beautiful skating and unison of the 4, i think. i hope they can capitalize on that by getting the key points on their paso. the reversed steps have been challenging for them. the ending of their FD is losing some energy (and goe) but hopefully will come together with a little more time. someone called it rolling knees - there are moments when they're in a step sequence where they're matching so completely and the way they're curving into the ice is mesmerizing

Gauthier/Thieren - they have maturity to their presentation. they tend to be inconsistent technically on steps/patterns and had worked hard at that in their Junior Worlds season 2022/23. but going senior last year, they didn't have to skate a pattern, and maybe now have to really work on that again. this Robin Hood program at the moment felt like it used S/D's Zorro program as the template - this one has bows and arrows instead of sword fighting in the ChSt, but the Bryan Adams slow song doesn't feel like it fits with the rest. there are a lot of things in presentation and in spins and lifts that they do well. something though doesn't connect for me - they hear the rhythm in the music, but it often looks like they're using it to time what they're doing rather than feeling it and expressing it
