  1. Still not listened to anything past The Handler yet. Can't believe I've made it this long... Anyone had any shipping confirmation for their .mu store orders yet? I've had nothing so far. I was hoping to get it early too... Also, Kerrang have given Drones a perfect score in their review, apparently: http://www.metacritic.com/music/drones/muse
  2. The solo/riffage at about 2:20 really reminds me of In Your World. Fuck yes, this is soooo goood.
  3. Instrumentally, and vocally, this is definitely one of the best tracks they've done for years! I do admit, it does seem like they've recycled a lot of elements from some of their older tracks (plus RATM), but I can live with that. However, the more I listen to it, the more I realise how absolutely awful the lyrics are. I know Mutt Lange told Matt to be "more literal", but this is just too much. I'm sorry, but I just find them cringe-worthy. They will make sense in terms of the concept for the album, but it would have been nice if they were a bit more cryptic. Still love it though!
  4. For me its: OoS > Abso > BH&R > TR > Showbiz >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.T2L So far Drones is fitting nicely between BH&R and TR, although it could easily equal BH&R in quality, if the rest of the album is as good, maybe even surpass it.
  5. Ok, couldn't help myself, I had to listen to it. HOLY FUCKING SHIT, IT'S SO GOOD!!! Can't believe it's actually better than the live version! Definitely the best song they've done for years.
  6. The Mercy video would appear on YouTube initially, but then would be aired on music channels, so it'd get more mainstream exposure. A Reapers lyric video would be a YouTube only thing, I imagine.
  7. I've been listening to Muse a lot more recently, particularly the released Drones tracks, and I fear I'm overplaying them. I don't want that to ruin my listening experience when the album finally arrives. Although I've seen Reapers live anyway, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
  8. Reapers lyric video, eh? Awesome! If that does happen, I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from listening. Also, has anyone noticed that people on the Muse sub-Reddit are saying that the status of their Deluxe Editions of Drones are shown as "packing" on the official store? I'd check myself, but I never created an account...
  9. Looking forward to studio Reapers myself. I know enough people have gone on about it already, but I just hope it's not another Supremacy. I have high hopes though. Also, I have a feeling this "surprise" is somehow related to Muse's festival tour kicking off tomorrow. As it's the start of the Drones tour cycle, I reckon we could have a track or two premiered. That's the most realistic outcome of this, in my opinion. Although, if it does end up being either, I don't think I'd be able to resist listening.
  10. It's too late for me, I was over-hyped after Psycho. I've set myself the difficult challenge of not listening to any Muse tracks until I have Drones. I see myself breaking that though. XD
  11. Actually, fair point. The crowd was pretty decent in 2009, but 2013's was a bit dull. Mind you. hopefully there'll be an influx of Muse fans on the Saturday, that'll sure liven things up a bit...
  12. True that, although I guess they had to cater to the mainstream. I can see them being a lot more ballsy at Download and onwards. That said, this is the most rock they've sounded for ages, the songs seem heavier than ever!
  13. Gig looked great, too bad about the tech issues and shit crowd though, it really impacted the performance. You could tell they were pissed. Download should be a lot better though!
  14. Don't know if this has been mentioned (although the thread exploded, and I'm not trawling through tons of pages to find out ), but is this actually a song where Matt doesn't use "Drone(s)" in the lyrics?
