Ok, so yeah, today I went to Air Studios on a whim after Dom posted a picture on twitter of Matt playing guitar there. Long story short, I think my life is complete, for those of you that haven’t met them, they are some of the nicest guys ever. Around half an hour after I got there a load of muser girls from France and Italy arrived and waited for them with me. Anyways, after waiting for about an hour or two Dom came out put his suitcase by his car and walked over to me and said hi. Spoke to him for about ten minutes, he told me Matt was still there recording vocals and Chris had gone home earlier in the day. So I got a photo with him gave him a hug and then he went home. Then, waited for another hour or so before Matt came out. Probably spoke to him for about fifteen minutes about everything from chord progressions to how the new album is sounding.

Anyway, I don’t want to bore you with stuff you already know but Dom said the new album reminds him of OoS a lot because it’s really experimental due to a bit of electronica, bongos, 35 piece choirs etc. Both him and matt also told me there a few heavier tracks (which in my opinion is awesome!) and Matt even said one of the songs has a riff really similar to the one from the live version of citizen erased (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC2F-2H2Piw just after the 3:53 mark) he also told me he’s been using that Manson quite a lot on this albums because there’s a few songs in the key of A in which he uses the 7-string for the low A on it. Also, Matt told me that he’d been recording the vocals for a song called ‘Follow Me’ today, which is apparently “about having a baby and that”!

So yeah, make of that what you will. Reblog and tell any other musers that the new album is apparently sounding awesome and that also, Dom said especially that he thinks it’s definitely better than The Resistance… x

Edit: Oh yeah, also, Dom said they’re planning to play a gig in london later this year “probably some big indoor place”… I just thought I’d add that when I remembered!

Another Edit: Dom said Chris has written a “lovely piano number for the new album”…
