    Psycho Discussion Thread

    in Songs & Releases

    Posted

    my first reaction to threads like this is obviously facepalming, then I remind myself that maybe op is a newer fan and isn't supposed to know about the 0305030 riff, but then I realize that op's been a fan for way longer than me and then I facepalm anyway.

    The intro sounds a lot like "One" by U2. When Matt started to sing, I half-expected to hear him say "Is it getting better..." :LOL:

     

    this :LOL:

     

    but the song isn't that bad. it was quite a pleasant listening experience after all the physical pain I had to endure listening to the previous two.

    First part describes the rise of a dictator, the guitar riff describes destruction and war, and third part the dictator's regret. I think it works wonderfully once you grasp the concept :LOL::LOL:

     

    yes, I realize there's supposed to be a concept in there somewhere. I'm a huge fan of prog, some of my favorite albums are concept albums. But with muse doing it... it's just fail. SO MUCH fail.

    could we just... kill it? like, grab a knife, stab it three million times then curl up in the shower and cry, while chanting "you can't hurt anyone... anymore"

    Your reviews of Drones

    I like Muse, I've grown very fond of them over the years so what I'm about to say is a bit painful to say, but here we go:

     

    Dead Inside

    I was hoping this would be one of the worse tracks on the album, turns out it's one of the better. It's an okay song, I really like the second part, it's beautiful :happy:

     

    Psycho

    The 0305030 riff is still good, but.. it's just a riff. Repeating that riff OVER AND OVER AGAIN won't magically transform it into a good song. It's fun to jump around to, sure, but come on... and the lyrics... argggggh.

     

    Mercy

    As generic as it is, the chorus is nice and pretty powerful. The bridge though, is the definition of "I can't come up with anything useful, but we need a bridge so.." shit lyrics.

     

    Reapers

    I talked a lot of shit about this already, but I'll sum it up again for the purpose of my review: shit acdc-riff, shit robbie williams-chorus, shameless use of the AGFE chord progression, wanky and boring solo. The parts have nothing to do with each other it's like three totally different pieces of music thrown together. Shit lyrics. (context or no context)

     

    The Handler

    I simply cannot comprehend how such an absolute perfection of a track is the result of the same creative procedure as all the other mediocre or downright crap songs on Drones. It's dark, heavy, the use of the falsetto is just astonishing. The In Your World part and the bits after that could use some double bass drumming, but that's okay. Amazing song, and sadly the only absolutely GOOD one on the record. Not even the lyrics suck... holy shit. But if Matt is - as it seems - still capable of writing such a monster, why do all the other songs, well, SUCK?

     

    Defector

    Like Psycho, but worse. Much, much worse...

     

    Revolt

    Worst song in the history of living things making sound.

     

    Aftermath

    It's nice, if a little cheesy. Sucks to say that it' also one of the better tracks. Matt's vocals are beautiful, I'm really glad it didn't turn out boring.

     

    The Globalist

    A big stinky WTF is what it is. It's like Reapers but with Morricone taking a dump on it. What does the middle part have to do with ANYTHING? How are even the two guitar parts connected? It just DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

     

    Drones

    It could've been something decent but after all I've been through... :LOL: I ended up facepalming and waving my head laughing like a maniac. Killed by drooooones :LOL: holy shit.

     

    All in all, this album is BAD. T2L at least had some really bright moments. Drones only has The Handler, everthing else is mediocre, boring, or CRAP. I'm sorry but this is not worth spending money on.

    3,5/10

    It sounds a lot like something Dream Theater would do back in the Octavarium days(which was inspired by Absolution anyway).

     

     

    except that Matt doesn't sound like a llama having sex while singing.

    srsly, as much as I love DT labrie is fucking awful :LOL:

    Everybody is calling the taping part a solo but i personally see it more as a bridge.

     

    this. it's not really a solo, and it could be heavier, with DOUBLE BASS DRUMS

     

    shit I can't get a hold of myself this is so goddamn awesome :love:
