  1. It's great that the band focused on all the right influences on this album: RATM, Queen, and Pink Floyd. Can't fault them for experimenting with other styles in T2L but to me these are the sounds which have always worked best for them. I really like The Handler: it's classic RATM-inspired and dark brooding Muse, sounding like it was pulled straight from Absolution. The only tracks I dislike are Mercy (not into that soft rock/cookie-cutter vibe) and Drones (worst album closer ever?) OoS = Absolution = BHaR > TR > Drones > T2L = Showbiz
  2. I stand corrected! Verse always gets me all hot and bothered. Although I reckon Darkshines is more romantic and mysterious sexy, while TIRO and this new one's got that naughty morbidity vibe going on.
  3. I kinda like it but not really.. I thought it started off pretty cool w/ this stripped back edgy sound, pretty catchy vocal melodies & delivery, and some clever lines actually. And then comes the climax.. bland guitar and cliche lyrics. Just kills the song for me. Might be a grower!
  4. Well initially I was gonna say 10 = Ruled by Secrecy and 7 = I Belong to You and that this song would probably be as good as IBTY... but now it's looking RBS-level !!!
  5. Haven't been here in a while! I'm sure this album will be good. Honestly don't really care much for consistency/flow anymore, as long as it's got like two or three outstanding tracks, that'll probably do it for me. Playlists ftw. Not a fan of the album cover though. It's definitely lacking the iconic power and abstractness (not to mention prettiness) of all the previous ones. I hope the upcoming song kicks off with that riff in isolation like how the band plays it live. That would sound pretty badass immediately following an interlude.
