  1. Just wait and see my friends. We've already had our qualms with "filler" songs that just add to the song count in recent years. If songs are getting shorter, the setlist would much sooner have the same amount of songs or fewer before it gets longer; this is Muse after all
  2. sidetrack yourself into my DMs EDIT: I look at this as just another way of them keeping setlists shorter length-wise while having the same song count. They'll do 18 song sets and be done in an hour.
  3. Psycho's studio guitar to me sounds exactly like the live version but just properly mixed. I don't think there's an issue with Drones tones, but ST tone muffling is likely because of more low end in the mix as well as more low end kept on the guitar tone (like in Thought Contagion/Dig Down); in TDS it's stylistic to suit the song, and in SH and Pressure I don't really hear any muffling at all.
  4. I just think it's underrated for what they were going for. It's definitely unique in their overall discography and that's the kind of experimentation I stay around for. Your point about the lyrics though, Matt's lyrics have really never been anything more than "ok" at best so I never have high expectations in that regard. IMO it's usually been a "this song compositionally is good despite the lyrics" kind of thing even for their best tracks. My biggest knock against parts of Drones is just the fact that 90% of The Globalist is cover material and the 10% that isn't just lifts old melodies from their own repertoire so they're covering themselves basically. I personally don't mind the gregorian chant cover because it's less specific (ergo unoriginal) to me than what they did on TG.
  5. I thought Matt or someone literally said already that the 23rd thing was just a poster for an event at the school, weeks ago. A blood drive is not even remotely relevant to propaganda.
  6. I figured this would be the case, I was also wondering if that LLP was also for publishing purposes. Since Helium-3 is their own record label for certain releases I wonder if this has any other obvious purposes. Their other LLP is for live set production type things it seems.
  7. Just confirms Timbaland and his team worked on the track. I don't remember seeing that secondary Matt-owned LLP before though. I wonder if it's just for tax purposes.
  8. I'd argue it's smarter to just promote the singles because Muse is a big enough band that they don't actively need that level album promotion by omitting single artwork. Their ads are everywhere anyway
  9. You’re definitely right. It’s just those generalizations affect people like Matt. Theres a band called Men I Trust that did an interview talking about how they put more effort into high quality singles rather than pumping out albums every year, and art definitely figures into that; also creates more buzz with more effort. Muse seems to have just gotten lazy by not doing single art for The Dark Side and Pressure.
  10. They should’ve done it like this the first time around
