  1. I wonder how many people would complain about the loud production without the peak logs and waveforms. Obviously a lot of people still did notice without it, mainly for Mercy, but that was the first major complaint.
  2. I'm starting mine but I won't do past Reapers until I get to hear them properly as I haven't yet.
  3. I know, but that's kinda what I mean. It becomes genericly uplifting and the specific concept just kinda gets thrown out (revolt saying drone doesn't count).
  4. Actually read the review. - Muse have never been to North Waziristan. Checked. "You can tell Matt Bellamy has never been to North Waziristan, because not a slither of this information makes it into Muse’s seventh album" Reapers alludes to that kinda in the first line. Lack of lyrical content doesn't somehow mean this goes unnoticed. It's like one of the biggest controversies of drones. "the uncomfortable truth is that they’re stuck in a glam-rock rut, which – sorry Musers – Royal Blood now do with twice the urgency and zero guff." Royal Blood are glam-rock, or at all related. Ok. Ok. "rather, it just seems like a cheap attempt to remake Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’." Concept album = The Wall. Their concepts aren't even really similar. "you can sadly picture a gun nut or Andy McNab reader totally getting off to this." Ah, the "gun nut" slur. I won't go further. "Muse are so out of their box, they throw in a sample of JFK rather than the actual, living president who has sanctioned more drones than anyone: Barack Obama." This has a point, and it would have been more interesting. Reapers was the only song that seemed to be distinctly about drones, and not just because it has the most usage of the word "drones". The last paragraph in general drives the most valid criticism I'd say.
  5. It's a standard political Muse song lyric.
  6. The point was being a rip-off vs. being credited. So the detail of credits were irrelevant, but yes it is an arrangement.
  7. But irrelevant for the point being made.
  8. It's confirmed to be a credited Elgar cover.
  9. I don't see how it was "stolen" for Soaked/USoE. Those two aren't even that alike.
  10. A lot of early solos were just octave runs or fast tremolo picking. But the song seems to step aside for that guitar part while continuing its jam, rather than putting it all as a breakdown.
  11. I count Psycho, I don't count Handler.
  12. Twice actually but it was played before the song the next time.
