Blasting my brain out with really loud music usually helps.

Besides that, my brain is a lot either/or.

I am not great a eating balanced, getting a balanced amount of exercise, or doing anything else balanced.

When I went to university, I either studied 10h/day every day, or I did not study at all.

As soon as I start slacking on my own extreme goals for specific task, I lose almost all ability to get that thing done.

It's extreme or nothing, it is now or not now.

    Currently blasting the new single by Muse, Unravelling, in my office, trying to force myself to do a mundane task at work...

    Muse has some great songs and good albums as well; however since Something Human I've been nothing but disappointed, personally.

    I agree, so I was quite surprised when I listened to their latest singles this morning. The latest single, Hexagons, was released today.

    Their new singles is called Hexagons, Cryogen, Be With You and Unravelling, and I actually like all of them.

    I think I listened to Cryogen and wasnt a huge fan but I'll definitely see about the others.

    Also it seems ones.enjoyment of a song tends to grow parabolically with time so if I really wanted I could just listen to it a lot and eventually id like it. Im experiencing this with Tool now. Never used to like them really but I have been enjoying the Aenima album

    Cryogen is a bit meh, but give Unravelling a go, it is IMO the best of the new songs, while Hexagons also have potential, but I haven't listened to it enough yet.

    But it also really depends on ones taste in Muse's songs. They really differ a lot. One of my favourites is Exo-Politics.

    True

    Well I really like both the accoustic and original Sonething Human. I also like Drones (song in particular), Newborn, oh and I quite like all of the alternative song versions towards the end of 20th Century edition of Absolution Album

    The intro to be with you sounds like it might up my alleyway

    Maybe I'm just being obtuse but I really feel Matt Bellamy has the skill to be amongst the greatest artist (at lesst in pop/rock) but its like hes just not getting at it the right way or something. Its like hes edging greatness and that is frustrating
