  1. After the Psycho tour i'm surprised this was so easy On my birthday too!
  2. What a show! I was expecting The Handler and maybe one of Dead Star/Micro Cuts etc but to get Dead Star, Citizen Erased, Agitated AND Micro Cuts is something else. I'm also surprised at how good Mercy sounds live
  3. Every time Aftermath comes on I listen to it until the chorus then I skip it. Such wasted potential
  4. I think musically the album is fantastic (maybe apart from the chorus/outro of Aftermath) and Dead Inside through to Defector is some of Muse's best work. However after enjoying Revolt and Aftermath originally the bluntness of Matt's lyrics edges the songs just over the edge of musical theater territory and for me that spoils it, Aftermath gets way too christian rock singalong for me. I understand its a concept album but a little more subtlety in some of the lyrics and themes would go a long way. The Globalist is a fantastic contrast to Citizen Erased because it shows you exactly how the band has changed over the years, especially in the final section, as much as i'd love The Globalist to be a 10 minute 7 string "prog nightmare" that just isn't where Muse is musically anymore in my opinion. Drones is a bizarre way to end an album yet I always end up listening through it whenever I listen to The Globalist, I wish there was a proper closing track to this album, something like an instrumental Isolated System like track would be fantastic, with Drones then being a b-side of a hidden track. All in all i think Drones is just below the "big 3" albums OoS, Absolution and BHaR but is easily their best release since BHaR 8/10 Fav tracks: Reapers, Dead Inside, The Handler Least fav tracks: Aftermath, Mercy, Drones
  5. the intro/first verse start so well and then as soon as Matt sings "from this moment" it gets far too christian rock optimism for me and it ruins the whole thing, and don't get me started on the ending
  6. are the livestream and bbc3 feeds different? don't want to miss anything if they cut things for the tv
  7. this. even though the chords are so samey and obvious the way Matt sings the last chorus makes it a great song. Otherwise it would probably just be another Madness, this seems to have so much more heart in it
  8. I think since the T2L law era they would decide what songs would be on the album before they would start recording hence no b sides.
