Cheers!

I'm back! After being banned for an unknown reason I wasn't told of. I was warned about speaking of leaks the first time, but the second time? I have no clue! Oh well, I won't be on a lot - albums out, the hype has dissipated.
So album discussion thread?
I'll say that Drones has pushed up Origin of Symmetry to #1 with Black Holes & Revelations for my favourite Muse albums.
There are definitely some great rocking songs on the album, but for the most part, nothing revolutionary, unfortunately. It's a good album, but not an amazing one.
EDIT: It's the rawness of Matt's voice in pre-Absolution era that I've grown to appreciate more since Drones, as Matt's voice sounds very 'try-hard' in songs like DI, Psycho, Mercy, Revolt, Aftermath and the latter half of The Globalist.
-
Uh-oh... I wonder if everyone is going to whistle along live at the same time... It'll be a dissonant disaster!
-
Listening to this again. Wow, it really builds up well! That tremolo guitar and Matt's notes - I don't care how cheesy it may be a song - it's really passionate and expressive and it does it REALLY well!
-
Listen to it without the influence of other's opinions then decide for yourself
What they said.
Don't listen to ninsp

Revolt actually sounds a lot like a Christian song. Like one of those typical upbeat, pop-rock sorta sounding songs with the vocal hooks and the chorus. Lyrics partially too.
Interesting musical approach!
-
If people like this sound, and the way Matt sings 'yellow', check out a band called MoeTar. They're like melodic prog pop rock/metal with clean vocal female singer.
-
Kinda surprised so many people don't like the piano part towards the end. I agree the middle section could be longer but I think the vocals and especially the piano sound great. But to each his/her own.
Agreed!
-
Awesome song! Definitely different from their predominant style. Very upbeat and pop-rockish, but it's refreshing.
-
Does anybody find Revolt..Revolting.
I thought it was pretty neat! It was catchy, there were nice hooks, the tempo change really makes it good!
-
Dead Inside - eh, mad bass and guitar solo.
Psycho - sick, just a tad long - lyrics funny.
Mercy - Yay! Each chorus was the same high dynamic though.
Reapers - This is it! ACDC, Dream Theater, RATM.
The Handler - The 3-piece Supremacy of Drones. Right up there with Reapers.
Defector - A bit below Reapers and the Handler - sick song with mad harmonies.
Revolt - I can take this. I love the melodic hooks and the tempo change into choruses.
Aftermath - Very delicate beautiful guitar, expressive vocals and music. Really nice.
The Globalist - YES. The middle section is somewhat disconnected from other parts though. Guitar solo and piano sections were highlights.
Overall, I'd rate the album, excluding JFK and Drones, a solid 8/10, perhaps 8.5.
Definitely a distinct step in the right direction!
Now, for ranking!
Top songs in no particular order:
Reapers
The Handler
Defector
Good songs:
Revolt
Aftermath
The Globalist
DI
'You could have worked a bit more on it' songs:
Psycho
Mercy
Tracks I HAVEN'T heard yet in studio versions:
[JFK]
Drones
Side comments about songs and Musers: I somehow see Aftermath being compared to and ranked almost as low as NSC, particularly the ending. I personally really enjoyed it, but that's where I think this board will head.

Damm, LP7 is just leaked, not even released, and people is startong to discuss LP8.
People can't be satisfied, they are like locust looking for a satisfaction they can't achieve.
How right you are! I don't get these people!
Aside from this comment, Imma comment 1 line on each song (that I've heard).
Dead Inside - eh, mad bass and guitar solo.
Psycho - sick, just a tad long - lyrics funny.
Mercy - Yay! Each chorus was the same high dynamic though.
Reapers - This is it! ACDC, Dream Theater, RATM.
The Handler - The 3-piece Supremacy of Drones. Right up there with Reapers.
Defector - A bit below Reapers and the Handler - sick song with mad harmonies.

Hahaha. 10 minutes is a bit long to listen to on a consistent basis!
Let me guess, you're not a prog metal person?
-
Even lyrically there's a prelude and epilogue but no middle, which would have gone in the riff section.
I suppose that's where the instrumental fills in the story, replicating the end of the world.
-
My god the JFK transition is just amazing, But then is let down by defector aha. I love listening to JFK haha, one of the heaviest tracks on the album
Do you happen to have a link/file of JFK (and Drones)?? PM please!!
-
Kind of how the Gregorian chant thing works. It swells and resolves in waves and abrupt chords at moments.
Hey, would you mind linking me [JFK] and Drones title tracks?
I can't seem to find them with Google.
-
Okay, just found a link. Wow! I'm not disappointed so far - listening to Revolt (I can deal with a happy song).
EDIT: Just to clarify, as I'm sure most of you are, I'm still getting the CD to support the band.
-
I'm loving it! I think tbh we all went in expecting what Matt told us "CE 2" and that it would be really crunchy for longer in that middle 3rd....However it's a different beast....It's a drawn out emotional what if song! Not going to do it for everyone and not what I expected but it's still very good with that knowledge in hand now...
Okay, I slept for 9 hours.
What did I miss? It really looks like the album's leaked/out!
Anyone wanna PM a link or a file for it?
-
Well the past few hours was nice, guys, thanks! Surprised a certain number of people weren't jumping on every little thing being said - mainly because they weren't around, thankfully!
NIGHT ALL!!
-
How the fuck has this not leaked yet. Impressive
What do you mean? It has - go back 57 or so pages to see all our responses.
We're already over it and are just talking casually.
-
I have to say in my 5 years on here, this nice atmosphere is very unusual, slightly unnerving
Aww I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
-
I know
We'll most likely hit 3k by tonight
Pt. 5 before the 5th, anybody?
-
Coffee is the only thing worth drinking.
Bah, I'm more of a Diet Coke and Sugar-free Mother person myself.
Not a health freak (wouldn't be drinking those if I were anyway), I just prefer their tastes.
-
No joke. Feels like a community for once doesn't it
Who is the actual person? I'm pretty curious now
Album Eight: Simulation Theory

Do we know if the super deluxe set comes with the original artwork and not just the alternate artwork?
