  1. Okay, I was wondering the same, turns out I can listen in after all
  2. Is it possible to watch it later, as I won't be able to watch it live?
  3. Of course it isn't popular, don't you know that??? Anyways, I have a feeling that dates might be announced sometime around the Radio Live Lounge and Lollapalooza. Would be a reasonable time to do that right?
  4. Survival- it really, really doesn't need the choir. Underneath it is an absolute beast. But with the choir it is an over the top mess. Mercy- Matt needs to write a better chorus. That and the way he sings "show me Mercy plz" and "puppeteer", it sounds weird. Pyscho- shorter Defector- shorter Resistance- SHORTER! The Globalist- The second part needs to be longer and the third part needs to be shorter. Or just something that isn't Elgar- it could be on guitar or something and then we might actually be able to see it live. I honestly don't mind the long bridge on The Handler (it's awesome as it is). I think I actually prefer the shorter version of Assassin since it is so energetic, although I do like the solo.
  5. Can't really do it with the drill sergeant either (which might actually make it a better song, but that is besides the point) As for covers, who knows! Would be good- but an oldie or two will probably end up being Madness and Starlight
  6. I mean I'll defend Revolt because at least it's something different, but Defector is just so meh. I was never aboard the hype train in the first place. Everyone was like "omg Myaz can do happy songs too". Quite frankly I like it when they do depressing as hell or cheesy as fuck. Defector is neither.
  7. Thank fuck for that. I'm glad I'm not the only one- I even prefer Aftermath, Mercy and Drones to it. Matt stretching lyrics out to an extreme is incredibly annoying, it has the same structure as Pyscho (which I think is much better) and it just doesn't flow at all for me. It feels a bit all over the place. Don't get me started on the "yellow belly" nonsense either
  8. I'm also a lover of DI I can take the two ever so slightly cheesy lyrics "Whilst I am giving infinity" and "On the outside I'm the greatest guy", but other than that I think they are fantastically written. Good job Matt I fear that I don't like Reapers as much as I should do- something feels awkward about it, which I think could possibly be the lyrics.
  9. But why. Are you dead inside?
  10. New Born is my favourite song from OoS Got a couple of unpopular opinions below. Citizen Erased is in the lower half of my favourite songs on OoS, along with Megalomania. Exo-Politics is better then Invincible.
  11. Spouting out lyrics that are loosely connected to what we are talking about is my forte.
  12. Here's my top 11 then 1) Supermassive Black Hole 2) Dead Star 3) Assassin 4) The Handler 5) Hysteria 6) Stockholm Syndrome 7) New Born 8) Animals 9) Reapers 10) Dead Inside 11) Exogenisis: Part 3: Redemption
  13. The thing that gets me is that Guiding Light is ranked above Assassin, Dead Star and Hyper Chondria Music. At least the top 10 is reasonable.
  14. That is sacrilege in these forums. You will burn in hell for your siiiiiiiiiins! Having said that it would be hilarious to see GL live, just for the funsies. I don't mind UD. Also the new song effect has worn off and at this point I think Aftermath might be the worst song in Drones.
  15. A list I haven't done yet Showbiz: Unintended Origin Of Symmetry: Plug In Baby Absolution: Falling Away With You/ Endlessly Black Holes & Revelations: Knights Of Cydonia The Resistance: Uprising The 2nd Law: Survival Drones: Psycho (Not including interludes etc.) EDIT: On a side note, if it wasn't for the choir nonsense, underneath Survival is a pretty awesome hard rock song and would probably be higher up on my list.
  16. To be fair though, whether we like them or not (if I'm honest I think they are nothing special, but not the most awful band/artist out there) they are still doing well- minus a member. Let's just see if Revolt does well too
  17. So this happened Top 3 1) Revolt 2) The Resistance Love thread 3) Middle favourite song thread The Drones discussion is just 4th, not quite as pointless as the other threads. 2 and 3 switch all the time
