Zepp Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 And we don't know whether there will be a song titled "Drones". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Heat Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 How do you know if it fits the title or not? It's literally 5 seconds. Those 5 seconds are very indicative of the song i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelshooter97 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Sounds like the clip has been taken while they were recording the "DRONES" shouty bit. Cool riff, I'd say more of a RATM feel rather than AC/DC, but I get where people are getting them from. The inevitable 10 minute version... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8Z0XoJJA0o&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Is that why there's that sudden jump in volume? Yeah that's why I'm guessing it's from rehearsals. Or it could be from recordings, and they've actually been doing the album in live takes together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Little Animal Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It reminds my of that Smooth Criminal cover by Alien Ant Farm. Nu metal confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

static shadows Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) It does signal that they are stripping back and returning to playing rock. But its upbeat, funky feel combined with the group-vocal shout simultaneously signals that they are channelling it through their more recent cheesy style - what they once called their Monty Python-esque humour, making it purposefully laughable and silly. I personally find the first element positive or encouraging, and the second element negative and discouraging. I was definitely hoping that they'd dropped the self-consciously silly, cheesy aspects, which were fun for a while (Knight of Cydonia, for instance), but I think have grown pretty old and off-putting by this stage.

It's still early to tell if the cheesiness will be present throughout the whole song, let alone the album itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogles. Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I thought it sounded promising. I like it a lot and I feel it should put most of the fears about the album not being rock orientated to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter. Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I thought it sounded promising. I like it a lot and I feel it should put most of the fears about the album not being rock orientated to rest. ...and bring forth the fears about it being classic rock-oriented. I'd take dubstep over that any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue how you think a chant is cheesy. People use that word improperly here and use it to refer to anything, it has no meaning anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
