jonisdead Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 To be fair, most of them seem to be singling him out for his lyricism and the quite heavy-handed/patronising/niaive message of the album, which are all down to him. More credit towards Chris or Dom for decent bass or drum parts would obviously be nice though. They don't get songwriting credit though. Matt writes the music.

AdamCee Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Am I the only one that's actually really excited to hear Drones? I think it's gonna be one of them songs that turns out to be absolutely brilliant, and it'll work really well and be something completely different... ... ... Or it'll be fucking awful.

There hasn't been a single review that was negative towards it. I think I'll fall in love with it, although the lyrics as someone said are very hammy. It'll at least sound pretty. Everything Muse does always does, even if the lyrics are about Matt taking a dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 They don't get songwriting credit though. Matt writes the music. Just because they don't write them doesn't mean they shouldn't receive credit for playing them well. Plus, I'm sure they bring their own ideas to the table when it comes to finishing the songs.

Peter. Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 aftermath sounds like it'll be the explorers of drones, which is not a bad thing but I don't see how this will turn out to be a "rocky" album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 aftermath sounds like it'll be the explorers of drones, which is not a bad thing but I don't see how this will turn out to be a "rocky" album Psycho, Defector, The Globalist, The Handler, Reapers and Mercy (might be poppy, but it's definitely rock and quite heavy at parts). I think it's fair to say the album is very Rock-oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Don't know why people keep complaining about the lack of heaviness or rockiness, there already seems to be more of it on this album than either of the last two albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any hype for the song at all (I guess we only learnt our first bit of information about it yesterday, but still) I've pretty much only seen excitement since we found out what it was. It's actually up there with The Handler for songs I've most excited about hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickerman Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Can't Aftermath be a solid,straightforward rock ballad,without "stadium pop rock cheese" (cough Guiding Light cough) or a "piano song" (it's you,Explorers)? With Muse,it seems not. The Handler seems like it's going to be good,but I'm not sure about Matt doing an Angus Young in what is supposed to be a dark track...

With Muse,it seems not. Could be, we haven't heard it yet. Personally, something like Falling Down with strings would be nice imo. I only make that comparison because that one review mentioned Hendrix-esque guitar work and FD is pretty bluesy though.

LarzKe Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 My biggest complaint with The Resistance onward is the lack of heavy, pounding piano songs (i.e. Space Dementia, AP, Hoodoo...). Unfortunately it seems like this is going to continue and this was the sounds that first really got me into Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I've pretty much only seen excitement since we found out what it was. It's actually up there with The Handler for songs I've most excited about hearing. Assuming a vinyl LP for this record will hold only 15 minutes of music for Drones (although its capacity is 20 minutes odds are Muse won't pass 15 minutes on each side), that would mean that the length of the title track directly correlates with the length of The Globalist, and we've heard various reported track lengths: The Globalist: 9 minutes --> Drones: 6 minutes The Globalist: 10 minutes --> Drones: 5 minutes The Globalist: 11 minutes --> Drones: 4 minutes The Globalist: 12 minutes --> Drones: 3 minutes So far, I trust Chris's 12 minute track length description more than Matt's.

If you're going to ignore the 13 minute epic that is Exogenesis like that then lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the way I hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
