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

    in Songs & Releases

    Posted

    If there's a fitting time to say it at all, it's now: Matt won't dare to say it in interviews but when I was still a young boy collaborating with the band for Psycho I heard along the grapevine (before the tracklisting was announced) that Matt thinks in his own words that this album is Muse's "The Wall".

     

    I love Muse, but they cannot make The Wall or anything of that calibre

    Assuming a vinyl LP for this record will hold only 15 minutes of music for Drones (although its capacity is 20 minutes odds are Muse won't pass 15 minutes on each side), that would mean that the length of the title track directly correlates with the length of The Globalist, and we've heard various reported track lengths:

     

    The Globalist: 9 minutes --> Drones: 6 minutes

    The Globalist: 10 minutes --> Drones: 5 minutes

    The Globalist: 11 minutes --> Drones: 4 minutes

    The Globalist: 12 minutes --> Drones: 3 minutes

     

    So far, I trust Chris's 12 minute track length description more than Matt's.

     

    I kind of hope it's a sweet little 1-2 minute track like Outside the Wall which I think would work with the Globalist as it sounds like it's this album's The Trial

    Surely that's why they're representative (if they are)?

     

    I suppose I'm just approaching this differently, I was interpreting this as the "quintessential" Muse track, like the most generic among muse, most muse songs don't sound like KoC, they sound more like TIRO or New Born

    As much as I think it's overrated, CE is the archetypal Muse song.

     

    KoC is the the most Muse song. It has pretty much all the elements that they're known for. Falsettos, arpegios, big riffs, rebellious lyrics, big track for live stadium tracks, oh and a trumpet!

     

    I don't really find either of these tracks that representative though, I suppose they summarise their discography, but they are both very unique muse songs

    Explain to me why it's cynical to think that a song that has been overplayed, has been overused as a closer and has a tacked on 2-minute waste of fucking time that was only barely cool the first couple of times (the harmonica) is shit and/or boring? Explain it to me in a way that doesn't include your own opinion.

     

    Hey, man I'm not looking for an argument, I'm saying to each their own.

    Still 10 minutes it's too much, they'll just make it unnecessarily long. Hope im wrong but the only interesting part will be the Helsinki Jam riff.

     

    Well it's about the length of Knights with Man with a Harmonica which doesn't feel unnecessarily long

    Drones: Make Song Descriptions Based on Their Titles

    in Songs & Releases

    1. Dead Inside: Much akin to Execution Commentary.
    2. Drill Sergeant: Not much, just some guy screaming at you about Amazon drones. Also something about condoms.
    3. Psycho: Your ass literally belongs to him now.
    4. Mercy: A stranger version of

    5. Reapers*: The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy theme song.
    6. The Handler: feat. radiohead
    7. JFK: JFK screaming at you about Amazon drones.
    8. Defector: Dead Star pt.II. Easily the best song on the album.
    9. Revolt: just fuck me up bro
    10. Aftermath: Guiding Light pt.III
    11. The Globalist: The song that everyone likes for some reason
    12. Drones: The sound of Amazon drones flying in and out of the warehouse. This lasts for four and a half minutes. Nothing else happens. The end.

     

    *have yet to hear it so i dunno*

     

    pretty close

    French Album Review: Translated

    I don't mean to be forward, but I have a couple of nit-picky corrections if you don't mind.

     

    " During the song's mid-section, [Matt breaks out into] a solo [à la] Angus Young. A wink from the producer? Was this intended to be humorous? Apparently it was not intentional."

     

    Also that line about irony at the end is a question not a statement "Unless there's supposed to be a hint of irony to it all?" I think would be more accurate.
