That's not 2 syllables. That's the A in CIA

That Florence album hasn't leaked yet either, and that's out in 11 days!
Record companies seem to do a really decent job of stopping leaks these days...I remember getting Absolution about 2 months before it was officially released!
-
Track times are close guys...
The new Florence & The Machine album is out one week before Drones on June 1st and the track lengths are showing up on iTunes for that.
-
I'm not liking what I'm reading about the album. Sounds like more reason for the music world to rip on Muse
-
Cannot stand this fucking song
Here here
-
Showbiz
Cave
Sunburn
These 3 still make my Muse top 10 after all these years!
-
It's the 'teer' part of the word that sounds American. It grates on me a little
-
Bass riff is the best thing about it. There's a lot of Muse songs I could say that about actually...
-
Errr... What?
...each to their own I guess. Haha!
EDIT: Agree with the rest though, if those songs are good'uns then this album will be perfect for me!
Madness had a certain charm initially because it was so different. I never listen to it now, but at first I gave it a good chance.
Mercy though...it's like Muse on auto pilot. B-Side material.
-
If Reapers, Handler, Defector and Globalist deliver then I'll consider the album a success in my eyes. Dead Inside and Psycho are alright but Mercy is just plain gash!
I've listened to Mercy twice since downloading it off iTunes. It's just not clicking with me. It needs a guitar solo or something...it's too basic otherwise. Even Madness got more plays out of me!

Leaked lyrics from 'Drones'
Hear the words I sing,
War's a horrid thing.
Now I sing, sing, sing,
Ding a-ling a-ling.
Decent Baldrick quote ;-)
-
Ah I see!! I wasn't aware. Cheers for pointing this out.
For one track though...that had already been written! My point was Muse have since written songs that have moved away from a traditional three-piece sound, thanks to having Morgan on board who they know can replicate the sound live.
-
Also, for the record...I love Morgan!
I just don't think Mercy sounds like "old Muse" as many are stating. This has been their sound for the last 3 albums
-
What?
Matt has always played on Sunburn.
Morgan was first brought in because Chris broke his arm before a festival and Morgan filled in on bass (Absolution era). Then he joined full time during the BHAR era...one guy said there's hints of old muse and new muse in BHAR and I'd have to agree. That was definitely the turning point. And no it's not when I "stopped liking the band".
-
The advent of Christ mark the end of the Old Testament and the start of the New Testament. What turned the Old Muse into the New Muse? I'm curious to know.
Morgan.
He joined during BHAR era. When they were a three piece Matt played all the synths and keys bar the chorus of Stockholm Syndrome. Once Morgan joined it allowed Muse to write more songs they could play live with Morgan. Hence a shift in sound.
-
Also. One thing that's bugging me is people saying it sounds like old Muse! It doesn't...
Old Muse: Showbiz, OOS, Absolution
New Muse: BHAR, Resistance, T2L
-
Matt sure has changed a lot from the Kurt Cobain/Rachmaninoff/RATM fanboy he used to be
I'll have to agree with this. The song isn't as bad as Follow Me though! The guitars were virtually absent on the studio version whereas here they are very prominent...that's it's only saving grace for me. It's definitely the worst of the 3 so far
-
I've been pre-ordered for ages but is not letting me DL on iTunes
If you have an iphone or iPod then go to Muse in your Artists section, then Drones where you should have Dead Inside and Psycho, then click "show complete album" and download it from there. I got it 20 mins ago that way.
-
I like it better than I thought I would after the live version. The guitars sound nice and heavy for the pre chorus! Bass also sounds great...I'm not a huge fan of the vocal style but ah well. It's still my least favourite of the 3 studio tracks though
-
Doesn't work in this song imo. The verses and the chorus are cool, but everything else fails to deliver.
The verses and choruses make up the majority of the song...the solo is essentially played over the chorus chords.
It's only the outro that could sound 'jarring'. But we don't even know if that's going to be on the studio version yet!
-
Been mentioned for quite a while now but this is about as close to "confirmed" as we've gotten for that lyric
Ah my bad...they have a close up shot of Morgan saying it so I'm pretty certain that's what it is. Bit cheesy, I'm worried that it will sound gash on the studio version
-
From watching the pro shot of this from KROQ weenie roast...the vocoder bit that Morgan says in the chorus appears to be "killed by".
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet?
-
Was Psycho technically a single? It didn't have an official video (only a lyric one). I thought Dead Inside was touted as the 'first official single from Drones'?

You put it better than I could! Cheers
