  1. As does Reapers, hearing it live first, it felt like several different songs stitched together that didn't flow well, the studio recording is so much better.

     

    Reapers is ace live. The main riff hits you like a ton of bricks.

  2. I like it but it's definitely not something I would show off to my friends.

     

    "Hey man, have you heard the new Muse record?! This track it great"

    *My mother, my father, my brother, my puppy, killed by Droneeeeees*

  3. So far I'd say it might be better than TR, Showbiz and T2L, but none of the others. It might fall even further down for me, but I doubt it'll get any higher.

     

    I feel the exact same way.

     

     

    Funny enough, I think the album would have gotten a much better reception around here if the majority of the first half wouldn't have been spoiled. Had I heard Reapers and the Handler on my first listen of the album I probably would have been more hyped to listen to the second half.

  4. It's a fun "car ride" album. I never really see myself going through entire albums at home with my headphones on but I gained a massive appreciation for this album when I was communing to my work today, it's similar to The Resistance in that respect.

  5. It would have been okay if it ended up like Soaked did. I don't even think it needs to be on the album for the message either, Defector already kind of covers the fighting back base.

  6. "Trance Formation" is a call back to a book from Cathy o' Brian called "Trance Formation of America" where she reveals personal experiences from the MK Ultra program where citizens were put into a "trance" like state for the benefit of mind control.

  7. We need better lyrics. Seriously, the album might be ok but the lyrics are fucking terrible

     

    This is a fucking must, the lyrics on the last 2 album have been abysmal. I'm glad Matt got the concept album thing out of his system, but now we need a producer different to Mutt. I'd like someone to come in with a more modern perspective. Take the basis of tracks like Reapers and The Handler and see where they could take that. Aftermath was good in terms of experimentation, i'd love more atmospheric stuff such as that to make an appearance. I like The Globalist's approach as well, make more progressive tracks like that(just more of the heavy bit). There is a really good basis here on Drone to bounce off of, they just have to take it the right direction.

  8. So, so disappointing that the heavy stuff is so short. As soon as that Instagram riff kicks in over the 7-string riff it is one of the most epic moments Muse have done, and they end it after what, 20 seconds?? What the fuck.

     

    That was my biggest letdown, the instagram clip was used so sparingly when it had a ton of potential.
