  1. I honestly feel that if Dead Inside and Aftermath weren't on the album, this would be their best album since Origin of Symmetry. It took a couple of listens for me to get into Revolt, but I enjoy the 80's classic pop rock sound to it. I also feel like Drones follows The Globalist so well and that I often just think of them as one 13 minute long track. Dead Inside sounds too much like their sound on The 2nd Law, which I despise, and Aftermath sounds decent for most of the song until you hear the chorus again in it's over-the-top church-like glory. Drones is collectively as good as Showbiz and The Resistance, but has as many consecutively good tracks as Absolution. 3.7/5 Highlights: Reapers - The Handler - Defector
  2. Literally only able to get 3/4 (just before the second chorus, last 1:35) through this song before it just starts to remind of some christian revival choir song. Edit: now that I think about it, my Mom will probably love this song.
  3. For some reason, I thought I'd like this song at the beginning, but that chorus throws me off every time. Just sounds like some sort of choir song. Not at all what I like.
  4. This. Mercy also appropriate levels too. I like it when Muse show their love for Queen this way as compared to I've Got To Break Free of Madness . Some people don't even realize that one of the most obvious Queen-influenced songs by Muse, is also one of their heaviest: Assassin. That vocal track.
  5. Awww man. This song. Just. Too good. Just. Too gooood. Fanboying so hard right now.
  6. I've been getting Abso-vibes since the first bit of music from the new album. It's what I hope most for. Absolution/BlackHoles would be such a nice relief. (currently listening to Assassin)
  7. Maaaaaan, I wish they released this as the first single and only song before the album release. Definitely becoming one of my more liked Muse post-BHaR songs. I can see this being their second single though, which would make me pretty darn happy.
  8. Despite me not liking the song, it's been playing in my head all day and night. It has made me like Undisclosed Desires a lot more than before.
  9. I think I'm just going to pretend this song doesn't exist (like several Muse songs now) and maintain my anticipation through repeated listens of Psycho and Reapers. Got to keep believing this will be a rock record.
  10. Only thing I'm liking about this song at all are the vocals, and the drums in the second half of the song. In an unrelated note: Dom seems to just get better and better with his drums. Nearly forgot how goddamn good he is at them.
  11. I'll still buy the record, I'm a Muse fan nonetheless. Just happen to dislike the song and the potential it gives the record. 2/3 are decent odds. I just want the band I like to play new riffs, and don't want to be that "I just listen to the older albums" prick.
  12. Yes. They said it would be a rock album. This is not a rock song. For fuck sakes, even their "pop" song singles on OoS, Absolution, and BHaR had decent rock bits (Feeling Good, TiRO, Starlight, Supermassive, Invincible). Whereas this is just another Queen-U2 ripoff. A continuation of their strayed desire to be popstars rather than a rock band again, and to reach the ever elusive #1 single on the billboard charts.
  13. Tried listening to it again today. Nope. Just can't. It's not even half of a good song. And if this is their first single, I wont be surprised if Psycho and Reapers are the heaviest (and only ) rock songs on this "rock" album.
  14. It just feels weird hearing them talk about how they felt the "last few albums they've strayed away from their instruments to explore and want to go back to the ol' guitar-bass-drums", and then this is the first official single from their new album. Uh, okay.
  15. This is nothing like their cover of Sign o' the Times, that was good and sounded fantastic. I wish Dead Inside sounded even remotely like that.
  16. Well, that was probably the laziest song I've ever heard Muse make. There goes all my excitement for the album. Back to business as usual, I suppose.
  17. I suppose a year of silence on my behalf is enough. Anybody getting an Absolution-era vibe from this album or is that just my optimism creeping in? *Edit - three years of silence, actually. damn, didn't think it was that long.
