Track Name Day

Muse are posting the finished song names on Twitter this morning, and as of right now it appears to be one every hour. So far we're up to two, and I'm impatiently waiting for the third.

Meanwhile, I'm watching Merlin and enjoying every minute. Merlin's about to try to beat up Arthur...

UPDATE: Four track names up; when I get the whole list I'll post them here. Although at the rate Muse are going, they're going to be up all night posting these (as they're 7 hours off of Central Time as they're in Milan, Italy.)

UPDATE 2: After getting the list and then waiting for my sisters to get off the computer, here are the tracks for the album, in order:

1. Uprising (BLOWING OUT EARDRUMS)
2. Resistance (SMASHING WHAT LITTLE EARDRUMS I HAD LEFT)
3. Undisclosed Desires (LOVE)
4. United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage) (CONSPIRACIES AGAIN)
5. Guiding Light (LOVE)
6. Unnatural Selection (CONSPIRACY)
7. MK ULTRA (CONSPIRACIES)
8. I Belong To You(+Mon Coeur S'Ouvre A Ta Voix) (LOVE)
9. Exogenesis-Symphony Part 1: Redemption (OH, CONSPIRACIES APLENTY)
10. Exogenesis-Symphony Part 2: Cross-Pollination
11. Exogenesis-Symphony Part 3: Overture

Now as with all albums but the second one and the live ones, Muse have a title track near the top. Matt's symphony is near the bottom in its three parts, and it appears there's at least two, possibly THREE love songs on this one, which is actually a lot more than we usually get with Matt's terribly dark writing.

The one that throws me (and therefore makes me the most curious) is Track 8. We all know Matt's girlfriend is Italian, yet the song title is in French. I didn't even know Matt could SPEAK French. I mean, a line of German there and a bit of Italian learned because his girlfriend wanted him to, but FRENCH? By the way, it means something to the effect of: My Heart Opens Itself To Your Voice. Awww...

Sounds like Matt's been happy lately, since he's got more potential love songs on this puppy than he's had in several albums. I see 3 at most, if I count Guiding Light as one of them. Three is astounding, because look at the previous albums: BH&R one, Absolution two, OoS had one, and Showbiz had one. Matt doesn't often go sap on everyone. I always said Gaia was good for him.

72 days and counting. I already know that when Amazon posts it for sale here in the States, that baby is mine. I'm going to pre-order it and then the day it comes out it'll be on my doorstep, so no waiting for me.

GLEE!

Bec
