[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

There's not listening to Muse for the lyrics, and struggling to listen to Muse because of the lyrics.

And they've definitely moved into the latter category for me.

 

Bad lyrics are still part of the song, and I can't really just turn off the language centers of my brain to ignore them.

 

It is interesting though how my tolerance for shitty political/conspiracy stuff changed so abruptly.

It had been something I could look past for the longest time, like an old uncle telling uncomfortable stories at the holidays, but now it all just feels too real and dangerous, and I can't bring myself to just put up with it.

 

Haven't listened to Drones since at least September, and I really did love the album initially.

 

Probably in the same boat. I can skip past poor lyrics aslong as the song sounds good. Not bothered about guitar wankery or how good musically it is, probably why i have enjoyed Muse over the years. I like Matts Voice, and i do like the blend between Rock and pop.

 

Can relate to thought contagion. From my POV, ive completely switched off from the news recently. Brexit has numbed me, it was a messy referendum and nothing has happened since. Goverment is in a stale chaos,opposition isnt up to much, the third parties are irrelevant. Nothing is happening and both parties are content with everything going tits up for thier own beliefs. Also the news is really grim, so id rather do something else than get angry at a screen.

 

Everyone is carrying on as normal, and getting angry and upset is just a waste of time. Why put yourself under stress and worrying about the world, when all you can do is influence yourself to become better and happier.

[Drones Album Discussion Thread]

Any "vocal" only thingies about for this album yet?

[Mercy]

Big fan of cutting costs by getting Matt's bird in the music video.

[Muse on The Graham Norton Show 05/06/15]

Mercy is awful as a single.

[Defector]

Does anybody else feel really happy whenever the solo/s kick in?

 

It's the most uplifting thing they've ever done I think

 

Aye, I can picture Ed Snowden or any whistle blower with this song. Finally releasing documents about NSA/ or Government abusers to the public. Relief, and at ease with his/her conscience. Think the solo captures that.

[Drones Album Discussion Thread]

Matt sounds great, the lyrics are awful.

Chris is as boss as ever.

Dom. Who is Dom?

[Drones (song)]

If this was an easter egg on a live DVD, it would be cool. But meh as the album ending.

[Album 8 Discussion Thread (Pt.1): The Deliverer Delivers, But Did Muse With 'Drones'?]

Muse feat SHM reunion.

[Revolt]

Vocals remind me of this.

[Drones Album Discussion Thread]

Shocked at how crap this is tbh.

[The Handler]

Really like it. Only negative for me, is the long solo.

[Reapers (Song)]

'Cause you've got the CIA, babe

 

You've got reapers and hawks, babe

 

:LOL:

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

I wonder what quote they are using for the JFK.

[Mercy]

Its very forgettable. Hopefully this is the weakest of the album.

[Dead Inside]

Really boring.

[Which Muse song have you recently discovered or rediscovered the awesomeness of?]

Easily.

[2013.06.02 - Horse Guards Parade, London, UK]

So no stream. Rubbish, that.

[Matt: "Audience loves return of Guiding Light, Starlight good closer"]

Drop dem rhymes DJ NIALL

 

Anyways, I fear Matt has become so detached from reality that at this point there is no going back. Just accept it.

 

When I said I wanted him back on the shrooms a few months ago, I wanted killer riffs and heavy songs. Not Guiding light back, and Starlight as a closer!

[Poor UK Ticket Sales and Future Musical Direction]

Would having toured UK arenas in October/November, have an negative effect on UK stadium six months later? Near enough the same set list, plus a few more songs. Plus, I think the prices were higher.

[What song would you most like Muse to do a cover of?]

Katy Perry - Firework.

 

For the lulz.

[Which Muse song have you recently discovered or rediscovered the awesomeness of?]

Came across The Small Print live at pinkpop again, and can't stop listening to it!

[Which Muse song have you recently discovered or rediscovered the awesomeness of?]

Plug in baby.

[Where have you heard Muse?]

Survival on the radio yesterday.

 

Loads of people around me saying how poor the song is..
