    Drones Album Discussion Thread

    I'd say that we've ended up with what I was worried Lange's involvement might lead to. A rather by-numbers rock album without much of the flair I'm used to from Muse's rockier work. Not that I really put that down to his involvement.

     

    Yeah, I feel a bit like this.

     

    In some ways I feel that Drones is their worst album for me.

     

    ??????????????????????????????????? :wtf:

    Would you cut Dead Inside, or move it? If you move it right after Aftermath, :eek: then that would make it extremely clear it's the same protagonist who destroys the world. After the "Bound together now and forever", you hear Dead Inside and know the protagonist was betrayed again.

     

    I would just add a song with a similar lyrical theme, but totally different musically. Just sticking Dead Inside in between Revolt and Aftermath feels like shoehorning.

    Drones Album Discussion Thread

    Okay, so this has been bothering me for quite some time now.

    I noticed that over the last years (I think starting from around TR's release) Matt's vocal delivery has changed, and not only in the way that it deepened or got weaker/stronger. I'm referring to the way Matt approaches his notes (so the beginning of a phrase) and how he ends them. Especially evident on Drones (album), Matt really tends to 'slide' up to the note instead of instantly hitting it. Also when ending a note/word, he slides back down with his voice.

    He not only does this live (for example I noticed he does it in Uprising when singing "We will be victorious"), but also on albums (for example The Globalist: "...great, nation, we were"). There are numerous other examples, although mostly from live performances; just put on any recent gig and you'll notice it.

    I really don't like the way it sounds. It sounds like he's putting too much pressure on reaching a note, suggesting that he's really struggling to do so. However when one assumes that this is not the case (having difficulties), I think it still just sounds... amateuristic? I'm in no way a professional regarding singing or anything, but I believe being able to immediately hit a note is one of the basic things to do.

     

    Anyway, I'm aware Matt has done this for a very long time, or perhaps even since Showbiz, but I think it has increased a lot and now it's starting to bother me.

    Any thoughts on this matter? Does it bother anyone else?

    I mean, he is getting older, so it's probably easier to work his voice up to a difficult note rather than just going for it,

    I think it's a great song, but yesterday I was thinking that there should be some kind of rough, dark interlude to represent what happens after Revolt and before Aftermath. There needs to be some kind of punch for aftermath to have a greater effect. I guess what I'm saying is that the songs around Aftermath need to be better/different to showcase Aftermath's greatness.
