Queen!
Good example. But I can counter it with Nickelback lol.
-
Would anyone else be slightly disappointed if the Drones cover actually involves a picture of the band?
They've never done it before and I like that they haven't. Artistic, symbol, something something...
Its pretty much a hallmark of a really shitty album/band to put themselves on the cover. Someone tell me if there's ever been a good one.

I think Muse's track record proves that they don't care what anyone thinks (not even their fans honestly) I don't think they need to air a catchy radio single to gain any more fame. They have enough of that. They probably feel the internet is enough promotion for this single. Who honestly listens to the radio anymore anyways?
-
So nothing happen tonight? quick catch up?
-
Aren't you kinda doing the same thing by assuming that those four, quite possibly random numbers are the release date of the album?
They put them on the picture. The regular picture had nothing on the drone. So any chance Muse just photoshopped 4 random numbers on a picture would be a big troll move.
-
I'm not in suspense over the whole thing, or pissed off. Mostly just biding my time. Time flies when you're my age, so I'll just keep waiting patiently. Before you know it, we'll be talking about album 8.
And talking about how shit album 7 is lol
-
I wish I was around for the BH&R buildup because that seemed like a lot of fun. Especially with all of the tracks being road-tested before the release, that seemed really cool. I didn't discover Muse until 2007 but back then my tastes were infantile. Got big into them soon thereafter but the TR wait in 2009 took a while to come around. At least the USoE buildup for TR was cool.
I started with Muse right after Absolution came out and the only things I can remember about the BH&R buildup was the mass shit storm that happened after SMBH. I was a lurker here from about 04 til 07 when I joined. But it was funny. Are those old threads archived anywhere?
I also remember having to warm up to KOC.
-
It was at least after the trailer when info started coming in.
Yeah I remember the trailer just came out of no where. Or maybe there was buildup but I wasn't on the site. I don't really spend anytime here unless there's a new album cycle happening.
The Resistance and BH&R buildups felt alot longer here. Like we had information for a way longer period of time.
-
I don't think we had song descriptions in text via journalists until after Survival came out. Because I remember when we did get them it was for only the songs we hadn't heard.
-
The creepy rape one is my new desktop background. lol.
Joking.
But yeah idk I looked through a decent amount of his work, I didn't really like anything I saw from him.
-
Didn't Radio 1 get bored of Muse and demote them down the playlist? It's just Matt's way of saying 'we don't want to be on the radio anyway'
16 years and people still take him literally...
I really think that has nothing to do with it. Like extremely doubtful.
-
I've heard negative political songs on the radio.
No one batted an eye at American Idiot, either.
And that's a weak example.
True. But American Idiot also sucked. lol. Besides the point. I have a feeling the direction I mentioned is correct but how far Muse can take it that it is "too offensive for radio" has me stumped.
-
Nah Zane Lowe still spunked all over NSC.
This lol.
-
I'm seriously trying to come up with what it could be... I've heard some seriously foul stuff on the radio that's "ok" as long as the vgarity is bleeped.
Shit, we have whole radio stations devoted to being offensive.
Again you're thinking too obvious. I don't think its going to be Matt saying fuck the world or fuck the government. but
Could be a blast on the military. "Psycho handler brainwashing us to become human drones" doesn't really sound cheerful and positive lol. I'd bet any amount of money those are actual lyrics and probably the chorus. We also know the theme of the music video is military related which is why that's the direction I'm taking those lyrics in.
Then again RATM has been doing stuff like this for years but maybe Muse is a little more direct with it? Idk I'm just speculating.
-
Take it to some other thread. Enough bullshit here already.
I took Matt's tweet as serious... I don't see the point of the joke if there is one. Unless it was a reference to radio stations not being into them anymore, but that's a bit of a long shot. And sort of saying the song is shit. So, no.
The idea of an "offensive" single, implying its so bad it can't be edited for radio, might have appealed to me as a teenager...
That was my "gut" reaction as well, but honestly I don't think it has to do with the lyrics in the sense of cursing or being obviously offensive. I think it has more to do with the themes at hand and the commentary made by Muse.
-
Nothings happening, nothings happening. It's over. Everyone looks really pissed.
-
I was joking guys about the 615am thing lol. But people on twitter threw it out first. I wouldn't be surprised if I woke up to a video tomorrow though.
-
Psycho drop when???
In a half hour? That was one of the first responses on twitter to that picture. Lot of info now for nothing to happen. If not then sometime tomorrow I'd think surely. Its not even 10pm in LA.
The 615uk time is extremely unlikely I'm just saying its our best bet for news before tomorrow.
-
Has someone asked Matt what the number means? Also the 15th is a Monday.
Could be June 2015 with no hard date. Also could be 6:15am UK time Pyscho drops. We'll find out in like 45 minutes.
-
And just when it gets moving it stops again. Matt tweets a few things and then nothing.
-
The 0615 could be a time, too. Military time sometimes omits the colon in between hours and minutes.
I'd like to be optimistic but that's unlikely.
-
I've already come to terms with the fact that I'll never love any Muse song like I love Glorious.
I feel like I'm too old for "too offensive." And to wait until June.
I don't mind that date if it ends up confirmed. By then we'll have at least 1 and more than likely two new songs to listen to for that time. That's plenty of time. Couple that with GTA5 finally releasing on PC in April and I'll have enough things to look forward to lol.
-
no costume party though
also, those possible lyrics Matt tweeted ("psycho handler, brainwashing us to be become human drones") could well be the chorus of the "drones" chant song, so maybe that chant will sound less ridiculous in the context of sung lyrics
I agree and if they are lyrics I can imagine them now with some real intense, and dark delivery. But it will probably end up being cheesy. That is a common Muse thread. Muse gets chances to do something dark again and ruins it. 15 foot robot to walk around stage to Unsustainable, holy shit thats awesome, nope turns out to look like a Dr. Who villain and be lame as fuck.
-
I think they could get by at the pre-release festivals with 4 or 5 new tracks (a few of which we probably will know by then) alongside a set catered to those heavy festivals (maybe not Zepp caliber, but...)
I'd say Zepp caliber is definitely viable. or at the least, Agitated, Dead Star, Yes Please etc.

We already know this since Queen. So there are a few exceptions. But it is a general rule of thumb at least in my experience.
