Nipso Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Well not just Psycho? For a bunch of songs since the OoS era and probably earlier there's always been snippets of them that have been used as riffs before? And Psycho used 2 previous riffs What was the other one?

frozenbanana Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 What was the other one? The one at the beginning of this [YT]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1rL0_TTaPg[/YT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I like how just because they've gone public with a previous riff, that makes the song worse, as if they couldn't have had the riffs under wraps for years before right until the song was released.

Peter. Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 nah, but repeating that riff 2354 times in the song certainly makes it........................ .............. less good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Intresting. I kind of agree, though Reapers seems more fun whereas EE is more intense. Reapers is more of a conglomeration of different emotions: dramatic and frenetic in the tapping riff and the verses, "cocky" and somewhat elated in the pre-chorus riff and the proper chorus, funny and videogame-y in the solo, and finally dissonant and tragic during the outro.

Jobby Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I find just about all of Reapers to be pretty 'videogame-y' tbh, except maybe the verses. Those tapping parts are probably some of my favourite parts in any Muse song because of it, I've been waiting for them to do something like that for ages. I'd say the outro was a bit more serious and dark but the "Here come the drones" shouts are too silly for me to take it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that just was their intention, being ironic and such, by merging the thundering and noisy stomp of Stockholm Syndrome and Space Dementia outros with the glamourous and industrial feel of Supermassive Black Hole distorted vocals.

I'm referring to more the actual words "Here come the drones" than the vocals/effect I still feel like there should have been some kind of final Climbing Up The Walls-esque distorted scream at around 5:14/5:15. Would've been the perfect climax and would've led into The Handler soooooo perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 While I love this song, the "Drones!" parts just strike me as very out of place sometimes. It feels as if someone has a soundboard and presses the "Drones" button at random times. Especially 1.18. Why is it even there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Being released as a 7" single for Record Store Day. Comes with a 'fold-your-own' paper drone (yes, seriously) and a live version from Koln as the b-side. Might actually try and get one, if only because I love the artwork and it'd be a neat collectible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I wasn't interested but I want the paper drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I wasn't interested but I want the paper drone. Really? I imagine I'll either be binning mine or giving it away if I manage to get one. Tried looking up what shops are taking part on the website but it's not working for me, not sure if anyone else is having that problem? I've never paid much attention to Record Store Day before so I'm not totally sure how it works Does every shop get the same exclusives or do you have to rely on luck to find one that has what you want?

Reapers Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 The store location thing worked for me. Turns out there are about 4 stores selling it within 10 miles from me. So I'll just ring them all up and grab one. Anyone know about price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Yeah, it clearly states not all stores will have all the stuff and you have to call them. Surprised the B Side isn't the radio edit. Edited March 10, 2016 by SerpentSatellite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
