Milan Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I just thought of something. A few days ago there was this thing where Tom's company or something posted on Facebook ''RENDER RENDER RENDER''. I haven't seen anyone mention it, but now I think of it it's so obvious. I think they were rendering videos of the making of Drones. The album is finished (or nearly finished), the artwork seems to be finished as well, I'd say if there's going to be a making of, and I'm sure there is because some of you spotted camera's in the Instagram pictures of the studio in Canada, then around this time the making of the making of should also be complete or nearly complete. So RENDER RENDER RENDER probably had something to do with the making of Drones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyneutron Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's a long weekend in parts of Australia so surely a single going to be released this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Haven't listened to the clip yet because I'm on my phone but I'm guessing it's like a wild, loud guitar solo? I'm hearing comparisons to New Born and Recess? It's not really loud or wild - it's got a very classical feel to it, it's tremolo picked so that might be where people are getting the New Born comparisons from - all the same it's quite an awesome melody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwyn Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Can't remember ever being this excited for a Muse album. Usually you expect some filler, some cheese, some slow songs (last 2 albums especially), but there's been no indication of this from the instagram videos (apart from the orchestra clip, but even that isn't a bad sign). Sounds like this could be their heaviest album since OoS. Can't wait to hear how all these riffs fit into the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rina_06 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Given the pattern of the last two albums, would I be right in saying that they only go in to record a set amount of songs? So all of this is featured on the album somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd say they have more songs than they need. The question is if we'll get to hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwyn Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'd settle for 11 as a bare minimum, provided they're all top songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobiiiaaas Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'd settle for 11 as a bare minimum, provided they're all top songs. And I'd rather not have a 30-sec piano interlude as a separate track tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyn Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Or how about a double album, one-half all-out rock carnage, the other half slower, more melodic? I'm dreaming now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rina_06 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 pointless, but I thought I'd share that when I first clicked on that I thought Matt was playing with a severed finger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyn Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 And I'd rather not have a 30-sec piano interlude as a separate track tbh Yes, always feel cheated by that, like they're trying to get it up to 14 tracks without us noticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love them to do a double album one day, bit like Biffy did. But then I also want them to do the 50-minute symphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate them but I'd just rather have them as part of the full song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyn Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Still can't help feeling that something about this album will shock us. This whole 'game-changer' business. A concept album? A double album? The album just being one long song, therefore no lead single? The distribution method? I just feel there must be some reason behind all the confidentiality, that there's some closely-guarded secret that we haven't yet figured out.

Witz Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 11 songs always seems optimum for a good album to me. A couple of B-sides might be fun as well Still can't help feeling that something about this album will shock us. This whole 'game-changer' business. A concept album? A double album? The album just being one long song, therefore no lead single? The distribution method? I just feel there must be some reason behind all the confidentiality, that there's some closely-guarded secret that we haven't yet figured out. The surprise is its not actually an album it's a book of music and you have to play it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobiiiaaas Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 And all the instagram snippets are examples of how to play certain bits. Ideally, we'll get an 11-13 song album, with each single having an EP of 2 b-sides. Realistically, we'll get 11 songs and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
