So what's up with these levers I'm so behind

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Gahh still haven't heard it yet, I'll be out for a few more hours.

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Isn't that just life in general, waiting for things

 

[Poll: How will you listen to Drones? CD or Vinyl and WHY?]

I'll be listening to a 320 MP3 copy because I'm a plebeian who can't really tell the difference beyond 128

[New Tour Dates In Asia]

Is the band's first time in China outside of Hong Kong?

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Hum...will you contain your hype and hear 4 songs you've already hear? Don't think that's possible...I'll go straight to The Handler!

 

We've waited 3 years, 4 songs won't be too bad

 

 

but the handler is very tempting

 

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

The question is, are you gonna listen all the way through, or just skip to any particular song?

 

That's the hardest part, because we've heard pretty much the first half of the album! I'd like to think I'll go start to finish. But I may get fed up listening to Psycho's chorus for a fifth time before wanting to hear The Handler lol. How about you?

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

I think my first listen will probably just be a sit down with headphones and no distractions. Second time around is gonna deserve a long car ride

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

I actually thought Fury Road was like the theatrical equivalent of Muse. It's OTT like nothing else and proud of it

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

"Screening copies"

 

Right, missed that. Sorry

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Wait do stores get movie releases that quickly now?

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Btw your music was my paper's guiding light to completion

 

Aww thanks glad you like it! It's meant for background noise so it did its job.

 

In Reapers I'm really interested to hear how the guitar solo section works. I remember someone had a really cool idea that each little solo could be like a radio dialing in and out, what with the sporadic motion between each solo.

 

Also I don't care for music videos at all so I'd much rather hear a new studio track. Just my two cents though

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Really the only things that I think could be different in Reapers is the guitar tone and chants vs. vocoders. The guitar tone could be a deal breaker imo so the live version isn't entirely indicative of the final product

[Aftermath]

Yeah, they're in a different track...

 

 

The Globalist

 

iirc the milan strings are in a different key from the globalist's intro

 

EDIT: wait actually they're in the same key as the outro I think so maybe they're in that part

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Are any of them still relevant?

 

True. Only your own opinion is what's relevant

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Rolling Stone I guess, if they're still relevant

 

 

they're not

 

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

To be fair I compared the 'men in cloaks' to Dementors.

 

No, the men in cloaks are Death Eaters! The ghosts and shadows devouring souls are the dementors.

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Is there a screenshot or something of the journalist saying Reapers is coming? Or was it some insider source thing? Not saying I don't believe it but I'm just curious.

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Jamie xx mix should be good though, the new album is incredible

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

I think the only time Matt hit both of the chest notes in Madness was on Jools. I wonder if he'll be inspired to properly take on "don't leave me out in the cold" this time around.

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

There's also a bit in there that closely resembles Spinal Tap - Heavy Duty, specifically the Boccherini minuet

 

Hahahahahah good lord yes. Now that you mention it I see a lot of Spinal Tap in Muse. Charles the Robot could be their own Stonehenge.

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Intro tapping: Eruption

Reapers verse: distinct Muse sound

Main riff: almost as if AC/DC covered Bombtrack

Chorus: straight up 80s rock

Solo: Tom Morello vs. Angus Young duel

Outro: literally just Freedom

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

It wasn't leaked though though I remember signing up and listening to them pretty soon after it came out. I put it equal to Absolution in my initial hype, forgot I did that until I saw my post, dear lord.

 

Yeah, leaked wasn't a good word

 

But it is funny to see how much the perception of the album changed even in a matter of a month. I'm sure a lot of people ranked it up there with OoS and Abso back then. I think I did, now I think it's their worst

 

My predicted ranking is probably:

Abso

OoS

BHAR = Drones

TR

Showbiz

T2L

 

Can't wait to see this thread when LP8 is about to come out so we can all laugh at our opinions

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

wooo it comes out next week!

 

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Yeah like 6-7 days before. Iirc iTunes streamed it the week before its release in the U.S. They seem to do this with a lot of albums now so I wouldn't be surprised if Drones is streamed next Tuesday.
