This is a strange album. I certainly like it more than I thought I would. It never dips as low as Drones (the back half of which is damn near unlistenable), but it never made me as happy as The Handler did either. I quite like the 80's pastiche sounds, but then again the best songs sound better in their stripped-down alternate versions. Eh. The Void is really good. Get Up and Fight is ass.

Not a terribly compelling argument but a strong theme.

Utter, utter, utter trash. Holy shit. They've been bad before, but this is a new low of lazy and boring.

Holds up well. First half is still good. Second half is still shit. Was really hoping for some B sides to crop up

I'm gonna steal your stolen list and added bit. Nailed it. Hard to find 3 weak tracks in a row for OOS, Abso and BHAR, all too easy for Drones.

If you could redo a song, how would you do it?

Yeah the instrumental is better. Song should have more pay-off too tbh. -
*ahem* You could always buy the CDs from a friendly fellow board member *ahem wink wink nudge nudge*

Exo-Politics. Make it sound like the live beast it was before they butchered it for BH&R -
No word on any additional material from the Drones sessions I assume? I know it's been a while since b sides were a thing. Right there with you buddy. It's not unusual for me to be disappointed by the lack of dark material on a recent Muse album, but in this case it is heightened by a sense that the concept itself warranted more of it. The Handler also showed that they can do it well. The last section doesn't just suck, it's Resistance 2. We already had the political uprising waffle for an entire album, hell it popped up a lot on the last 3 lps. Surely there was something more interesting to do here.

I really want to love this album but it falls off so hard in the last half. I like the concept approach, I think it focused Matt's nonsense lyrics, but the heavy parts fit the theme best and are too few in number. I don't understand why there wasn't at least one track that really delved into "Drone" mindset. The jump from Psycho to Mercy is just odd. Why were Revolt and Aftermath so lame too? Those are some misleading titles.

So much this. I might just edit the song myself.

Anyone after CD singles? I've still got complete sets from the first 4 albums and never got round to selling them. Would prefer not to sell individually.

I'm just happy that this isn't the worst album so far, which is how I felt when both The Resistance and The 2nd Law dropped. Not a fan of Mercy but the first half or so is solid. It does fall off heavily from Revolt onwards though.

Wouldn't mind hearing a reworked version of this myself. If there's enough of a reaction, maybe Muse themselves will conjure a different arrangement, like when they reinstated the extra parts of Assassin.

Mini Review Dead Inside - 6/10 A grower, starts the album off in a bizarrely effective manner. Psycho - 6/10 A riff so cool you'll play it, loudly; but you know deep down it's shit. Mercy - 4/10 The Starlight sequel no-one needed, with worse lyrics. Reapers - 9/10 Banger. A couple of hokey lines and unecessary robot voice away from a 10. The Handler - 10/10 A classic already. Has a deliciously dark sound not heard since Fury. Defector - 6/10 Muse songs of late always walk the line between cool and totally lame. Never has a track been as aggressively both at once. It kinda, sort of works? Revolt - 3/10 Sounds like that generic pop music you hear in Poundland. Offensively inoffensive. Aftermath - 3/10 This song starts out really strong but nose dives off a cliff. It makes you beg for it to end before it finally does the polite thing and die. The Globalist - 7/10 Exceeds its grasp but has many nice turns. Drones - 4/10 At least twice as long as it should be, it's novel but becomes dull very quickly. 5.8/10. Not great, better than 2nd Law, and there's 2 songs that I genuinely love on here.

I've not been all that positive in the lead up to Drones but damn did I perk up after Reapers and Handler. Now I've listened to the leak... well. Reapers and Handler are really good though.

New contender for worst lyrics? Sounds more and more like every song on this album is going for that title.

Just a quick look at Muse's official youtube page shows that Supremecy and Madness each had a lyric video first, followed by a full music video. It's pretty much an industry standard across the board, an easy way to promote a song twice. It's okay to be wrong from time to time. Promise.
