  1. Probably saving them for the Christmas present
  2. so hard to choose between Sunburn, Ruled by Secrecy & Space Dementia.
  3. It's grown on me quite a bit actually, love the Morricone style whistling.
  4. It's hard to believe that the same band who produced Reapers & the Handler also produced Revolt & Aftermath. Dead Inside - 6/10. It's a decent pop song, but it's not one I imagine I'll go back and listen to on a regular basis. Psycho - 7/10. I like it, but it doesn't really go anywhere and the lyrics are awful, even within the context of the album. Mercy - 6/10. Decent pop song, as with Dead Inside, but it's not one I'll go back and revisit in the future. Comparing it to Starlight is pretty generous. Reapers & the Handler - 9/10. The absolute best of Muse. At heart they're an exceptional rock band, and these two are as good as anything since Black Holes. The undoubted highlights of the album. Defector - 6/10. Wasted potential here. Love the guitar on this track, but the unnecessary over the top, Queen-esque vocals spoil it. Hopefully it'll sound better live. Revolt & Aftermath - 3/10. Feels appropriate to review them together as they're possibly the worst Muse tracks to date. Hard to comprehend that a band capable of songs as good as Reapers & the Handler could also produce these two. Offensively bad. The Globalist - 7/10. As a sequel to Citizen Erased, it's a massive let down. As a song on its own merits, it's a bit all over the place. Middle part is good, but it feels like it should be a different song altogether. Wasted potential. Drones - 7/10. Interesting attempt, feels a bit out of place, but the whole church vibe is something Muse haven't touched since Megalomania. Overall, 6/10. Not as bad as the Resistance or the 2nd Law, but it's comfortably behind Showbiz as their 5th best.
  5. This was the one I was most looking forward to after seeing the leaked video. The Queen-esque vocals ruin it. I cringe when I hear them in any song, and it was something I'd hoped they left behind in the Resistance/2nd Law era. Hopefully it'll sound better live.
  6. Feels like wasted potential with this one. The middle part feels completely out of place, not to mention the melody for the entire final third is a mix between Nimrod and Soaked. If they hadn't hyped it up as Citizen Erased part 2, I'd view it differently, but as it is, it's a bit of a letdown.
