The Reviews about Take A Bow (page 4/ 9)
------ performed by Muse
Great Song! | Reviewer: Francisco | 11/3/08
Nate:
you say the US is the best place to live, well, you could be right, but when someone atacks US's government, says that they destroy countries but, obviously, they don't destroy their own country, it'd be madness, could you imagine, Bush sending a missile to L.A. ?
"America" (Coz the continent it's America, it shouldn't be only one country) could be the best place to live, but it's because they destroy others so, there aren't too many options and because of this, the economy is much better (Now it isn't but an year ago it was the best economy it existed)
Finally, I personally love this song, apart from having very shocking lyrics, the music it's great, perfect for ending the show in Wembley ;)

"I am not going to say that bad shit hasn't happened under the US's watch, but historically the are responsible for more freedoms and more positive than they are negatives."
tell that to the native americans... if you can find one.
"the modern industrialization of Japan..."
they only modernized initially because they were afraid of getting devoured like so many other countries during the ages of colonialism and imperialism.
also, we (the US) committed quite possibly the single most grievous crime against humanity in history at hiroshima and nagasaki... tens of thousands of people vaporized in an instant
"the billions spent in foreign aid to Africa"
they wouldn't need aid today if we and Europe hadn't obliterated their continent's infrastructure.
that said, there is nothing in the song to direct it explicitly towards the united states, and i think it can apply to a good many governments. but it's interesting how quickly you identified these qualities with your own country.
as to the song, i like it. sounds cool, and it means as much as a song needs to.
Politics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/24/08
The whole album is supposed to be about politics and demonocracy.Especially Assassin, Exo-Poltics and Take a bow.Its not about anything in particular, but as they're british i assume its about Britain.
hoorah for america! | Reviewer: Nate | 10/8/08
This song rocks my FACE OFF! I love it, listen to it, and even sing it...however, I don't agree with the lyrics... It sounds like they are attacking Bush and America, but we are the best country in the whole fucking world, and all these whiny bitches bitching about the government can go to Mexico or Iran or Columbia or Venezuela or the 85% of the African countries.... People that complain about our government have no sense. Ask any kid in another country I bet they'll tell you they dream of coming to America where we are free and have potential to make a wonderful life, this is the best place in the world and if you don't like it, leave. I raise my fist to you holyyakker!
wtf | Reviewer: notname | 9/8/08
this song is amazing, however many people are blinded by their nacionalist views i mean yeah there's a lot of positive things of the us, but there a lot that are negative, but is not just about us, look to mexico, flooded with narcos and drugs that children are even affected and kidnapped just because people needs money because all the goverment steals the 50% of our salaries and i'm mexican and that's no reason why i hate mexico, i mean i love mexico's culture and the people but we're so ...ing deep in violence and corruption we are getting doomed. let's forget mexico and focus on muse can talk/sing about anyone because at least there should be a little of freedom in our world
Just wow... | Reviewer: Chris | 9/8/08
@ all Yankee-centrics:
This is a generic, yet wonderfully concise tirade about the state of many governments... What makes you think that it's about the US more than the UK, Russia, S. Africa, or any other country? There is not a single shred in the lyrics that state an anti-US stance. FYI - The band is from the UK where in the last several years personal freedoms have eroded as much as or more than in the States. Sad but true.
geez guys | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/9/08
i don't know what ur complaining about. this song rocks! it sounds like matt bellemy is singing his heart out and i like the second part, where it goes up a note every time. one of my most famous songs.
great song, from a great band. don't like it, don't listen to it, but don't lecture us.

>> which is Music, not philosophy
depends on the definition of music, my friend. Music can also be your medium for philosophy.
Bertolt Brecht would have kicked your ass if you had told him to go on writing nice plays and leave out philosophy and politics ;).
He said that a play or any piece of literature (=>arts) must have a use(=> philosophical/political message) besides amusement
It's all relative... so plz stop objectifying your views

What a Waste of Musical Talent | Reviewer: Joe | 3/5/08
I like MUSE a lot. I find their melodrama amusing and their instrumentals eerie and skillfully played. I liked this song until I started noticing the lyrics; unfortunately they ruin an otherwise cool song. Yet another collection of trite, vague, and repetitive accusations and demonizing from a band which, like many citizens, likely has no useful frame of reference or clue as to what actually goes on in the world. Crimes against the Earth? Give me a break. More hate-mongering from a collective of people who should put their skills (which is Music, not philosophy) to better use.
