The Dark Side Loved that song from the first listen and it's top 20 quality, pushing top 10.
-
Drones by far! It has 2 songs I love (The Handler and DI) and I enjoy the odd listen to Repears but beyond a few fleeting moments in other songs, there is not much else to enjoy. I hate the theme of the album, the artwork, it's just bleak. T2L beats it by having Animals, Supremacy, Panic Station, Madness and a bigger collection of enjoyable moments throughout. Both still way behind TR.

Never been a huge fan of Isolated System, I struggle to listen to it the whole way through. Worst 5: I Belong to You Drones Save Me The Globalist Revolt
-
Instead of playing shortened versions, I think I'd rather them just stick a couple of heavy riffs on the end of a few songs. Newborn then Dead Star & Micro Cuts Stockholm Syndrome then Reapers & Agitated
-
I'm liking the love being shown for Overture Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure we got 15 second snippets of the Resistance songs before album release, then got 30 second versions a couple of days later? Either way, I've never been so drawn to a song based on a small clip as much as I have with Overture. When I heard the full song I was completely blown away. Still no idea what Matt is singing tho but it sounds so good.

Their best 5 songs since BHAR: Exogenesis: Overture Animals The Handler Dead Inside The Dark Side
-
There are not many faults on this album but with the band stripping away the extra fluff and prog-rock tendancies to make tight tracks, songs like Pressure, TC and Blockades (still love it) are possibly worse off.
-
There are so many layers and aspects of this song to enjoy. I love how Matt delivers a different vocal tone for each chorus. The soft strings, the ominous synths and drums, beautiful piano and those wub wubs. Just a brilliant song and the acoustic version is equally great. It's getting up there with Exo:Overture as my favourite slow muse song.

I actually don't mind this song. I think it's saved by being relatively short. It doesn't feel like I have to slog my way through it like some of the other efforts that go on way too long.
-
I'm already confident that I will be having repeat listens of TDS, The Void, Blockades and Algorithm 3 or 4 years down the line. Those 4 collectively are stronger than my favourite four songs off any of the previous 3 albums.
-
The Void has yet to make an appearance and that song really does deserve a proper production.
-
All I know is that it's much better than Resistance, T2L and Drones.

Based on what Matt has said recently about having a brass section/backing singers/performers with them for their shows, they have a real opportunity to do something very different. This album alone has given us some potentially epic show/encore openers. Instead of the usual structure of 12/15 songs > encore 1 > encore 2 they could mix things up. Use actors and songs like Isolated System and We Are The Universe to act as intervals between different sections each with it's own themes such as Brass, Acoustic, Big Hits, Electro etc. We'd get longer setlists, more breaks for Matt without having to resort to New Kind of Kick Something like: Algorithm The Dark Side Map of the Problematique Follow Me Propaganda Madness Thought Contagion Supermassive Black Hole Break It To Me Bliss The Void ------------------- Drum & Bass Solo (with some crazy dystopian dance routine going on around them) Citizen Erased Newborn Stockholm Syndrome Psycho Plug In Baby Showbiz ------------------- Stage B Acoustic Something Human Dig Down (Gospel) ------------------- We Are The Universe T2L: Unsustainable Pressure Panic Station Knights of Cydonia ------------------- Isolated System Blockades Uprising Starlight Take A Bow Plenty of opportunity for rotation in there too.
