  1. Dead Inside - 5.0/10 Very 'meh' from me, not a bad song but not the sort of Muse that I like Drill Sergeant + Psycho - 5.5/10 Great riff, but killed a bit through repetition. When it comes to Muse, lyrics are not a deal-breaker for me, but these were just out of this world terrible and cringe-y at times. Mercy - 5.0/10 Another 'meh', not that much to say about this one to be honest and hence the '5' Reapers - 7.5/10 Ok, here we go... Killer chorus riff makes this song for me. The outro part is a good listen too. Lyrics pretty bad again but I don't particularly care in this case. Better than the rock songs of T2L and The Resistance and a step in the right direction The Handler - 9.0/10 Pardon my French... but where the **** did this song come from! I can't only be me that thinks this is the best song Matt has written since Absolution? I could spend ages listing everything which is so right about this song but I'll highlight the vocals which are just superb... Just shows they still have it in them. JFK + Defector - 5.5/10 Again a cool riff, not a bad tune but not too keen on the vocals. Revolt - 2.0/10 I could tell from the first 5 seconds I was going to hate it, however it wasn't until the chorus that I realised how much I would hate it. Skip every time for me. Aftermath - 4.0/10 'Meh' The Globalist - 5.5/10 Lot's of built up hype for this one, but a bit disappointed personally. It has potential and I can see why it was referred to as citizen erased 2.0, but as others have said I think Matt misunderstood what the fans love about citizen erased. Drones - NA/10 Very different, can't really review it. I don't hate it, just an interesting way to close the album. I don't think it is meant to be listened on its own but as part of the 'story' of the album. The Whole 'Drones' concept - 4.0/10 I don't think there is anywhere near enough depth in the human Drones idea for this to be a compelling concept. It get's a bit annoying after a while too (for me anyway) Overall - 6.0/10 (gave a bonus point for The Handler) I personally rate harshly for all music so that my real favourites stand out more so this mark isn't actually too bad. For reference I would give, Showbiz - 6.0/10 OoS - 9.0/10 Absolution - 8.5/10 BHAR - 7.0/10 The Resistance - 6.0/10 T2L - 4.0/10
  2. Pardon my French... but where the **** did this song come from! I can't only be me that thinks this is the best song Matt has written since Absolution?

The fact this probably won't be released as a single makes me sad however.
  3. That riff/part before the chorus is absolutely incredible, I physically cannot help but headbang. I'm actually a bit disappointed that it isn't actually featured in the track more than twice. Am I the only one who thinks the track would be even better if a few cycles of that riff closed the song at the end? Great tune though! Really excited for the album after this one.
  4. Looks like it's a good price, however I'm really not a fan of how it's integrated distortion circuit sounds. I also think it would have looked better if they had found a way to actually build the pad into the guitar rather than how it's sort of clipped in now. Back to the MBC-1 though, I'm actually getting more optimistic reading how involved Manson are (unless it's just marketing bs). As other's have said, I can't see Manson themselves letting a sub-par product hit the shelves with their name on it. £499 is cheap, but you can get some really cool guitars in that price range.
  5. Looking forward to the reviews for this one! Like I'm sure many others, I'm nowhere near good enough at the present to justify owning a proper £1200+ Manson but really love the style and the sound they produce. I currently own an Epiphone LP Custom which I have adored for years but I have sort of fallen out of love with. Although I'm 95% sure I will end up with something from the Fender Blacktop series, this has sort of popped out of nowhere. Not that I am too hopeful, I have heard more than one mediocre criticism levelled towards a Cort guitar. The involvement of Manson themselves has my hopes raised slightly however.
