    The way I see it, it all boils down to whether someone enjoys muse's bombastic prog-ish rock or not. It has been like that probably since Absolution (which btw has a 72/100 metacritic score - not so great). Indie-oriented sites/magazines obviously do not enjoy Muse so much and Drones is definitely not going to change that, however "stripped back" its sound may be.

    and 4/5 from the telegraph as well http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/11649952/Muse-Drones-review-more-than-a-little-Spinal-Tap.html

    as specific as they should be on the subject of drone warfare imo. these lyrics are already unsubtle, imagine matt singing something like "obama, stop killing innocent civilians in northern pakistan in non-surgical drone attacks"
  4. p_of_cydonia
    Lol, the things he accuses Muse that they didn't tackle, they actually did in Reapers; lack of accountability "and there's no one behind the wheel", civilians killed by drones "home, it's becoming a killing field", etc... what was he looking for in a concept rock album? the statistics?
  5. p_of_cydonia
    So wait, if I'm getting this right, most people here (kind of) liked The Handler lyrics but absolutely hate Defector ones? Why is "I'm escaping from your grip, you'll never own me again" better that "you can't control me, I'm a defector". Good or bad, they're pretty similar...

    a friend was teasing me that the fact the album hasn't leaked means no one really cares about muse. come on, people, somebody prove him wrong
  7. p_of_cydonia
    So, the JFK music is the ending of Defector, right? Sounds cool
  8. p_of_cydonia
    Seriously? I'm assuming neither of you has listened to Glorious's chorus for a while - the best chorus in the history of rock music
  9. p_of_cydonia
    Decent song descriptions I guess, but it's not really a review, is it? I don't think he expresses opinions on the tracks or on the album as a whole, apart from "it's more focused than The 2nd Law".

    I don't have a problem with the lyrics tbh, it was just that bit that I found odd. I don't even mind the "eat my soul" bit since he's talking about ghosts so it kind of makes sense...? At least in a horror film kind of way...
  11. p_of_cydonia
    ah, that actually make more sense. I saw the godless lyric on musewiki too, though
  12. p_of_cydonia
    agreed, but narrative wise we align with the main character. and he also stuffs together in the same chorus powers that be, killing machines, the mean... all the favourite Bellamy villains found it a bit strange that the godless are included in such company
  13. p_of_cydonia
    "show me mercy from the godless and mean" lol, wtf, is matt religious and attacking atheists now or am I reading way too much into it?
  14. p_of_cydonia
    I think the first time it goes like AmGFE and then it changes and goes to AmDmGF and then goes to C chord. I *think*
  15. p_of_cydonia
    I really don't believe Bellamy thinks he's reached his peaks of originality with this intro. it's obvious from the making of clip as well that he wants us to think of Morricone. Since the notes *are* different (and so is the chord progression up to a point), they cannot be *literally* identical on paper. My comment was referring mostly to the idea that Morricone should be credited on the album. I've already said the orchestration is pretty much the same but personally I don't find that troubling at all. It's kind of cheeky and playful
