Drones (song)

[Spectrum IV]

His chest voice has improved since, but his falsetto has deteriorated, sadly. So basically my answer is "maybe, maybe not"

 

Chest voice solo.

[Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out]

Maybe Chris and Dom will sing too, thus creating the full three man choir Queen effect Matt's been perfecting for years.

[michaelt4]

i'm not sure what makes this song sound so exciting but it does

I'm fairly sure it's four-part harmonies that Matt uses in songs like Assassin and USoE.

Dom can't sing for shit apparently so that's a no. Also, it's been confirmed that it's only Matt's voice.

 

I'm fairly sure it's four-part harmonies that Matt uses in songs like Assassin and USoE.

 

Could well be quite a bit more than four. Reviews have said that there are 'many' harmonies, enough to sound like a full choir.

[Wingardium LevioSIA]

I just wish those lyrics didn't make me think of this (from about 0:40):

So, Muse has gone and joined a church choir ...a medieval church choir.

[Tim59]

FFS.

 

First shit album closer.

[Furygirl]

This song makes me feel funny.

[Jovatov]

This song reminds me a lot of

by Simon and Garfunkel, which is no suprise as they're both based on medieval songs.

 

I like it a lot. But it's unlike any other Muse song, that's for sure.

[Sleepybear]

As a piece of music/outro to the album I think it works really well. And it is hard to make out the lyrics, which helps.

[demon45]

I get the idea, needed something else though

[Jordo21]

If this was an easter egg on a live DVD, it would be cool. But meh as the album ending.

[Mattestro]

Hmmm

[Spectrum IV]

I hear dead people.

[googoogee]

I actually like it up until the amen.

 

Can't wait to see how Matt plays it live!

[JessicaSarahS]

I really like it. I think it's haunting.

[TobyLarone]

Is this the final mix? I think they forgot to edit in the instrumentals in post.

[haarpabaloo]

finally heard this - love love love it. seriously. Matt took a huge chance with this as the album closer and i think it pays off really well. i dig the juxtaposition of the religious sounding music with the lyrical content, ala Megalomaniac. not to mention Matt's incredible vocals.

 

i will admit that if chant/polyphony is not your thing then this would be a headscratcher of a track, but i happen to love that music so this song got me more excited than any other on the album. after a really weak 2nd half I was actually left feeling really enthusiastic after hearing this one.

[Exogenesisman]

Wow, this is so haunting, I feel like you HAVE to listen to this as a continuation of The Globalist, its really one big song. I get why they split it up, but man this really works for me as a closer. So weird and different but thats usually when I like Muse the best. Stunning how amazing his voice is because you know that less than 1%-2% is any kind of auto tune/added production unlike a lot of singers these days.

[TrebleRose689]

It's an unusual choice for an album closer, but it fits contextually with the concept (as a requiem of sorts), and is just plain gorgeous.

 

I completely understand why many folks are feeling puzzled by it though

[clydebank]

Not bad! Too long and messy near the end.

 

Sums up how inconsistent Muse are how they have no idea of cohesion in album.

[Wickerman]

This is... bizarre. Like WTF?

[funkadelic]

I get why a lot of people wouldn't like this, but I think it's great. I love it when Muse do weird things like this.

[alibros]

No comment.
