user0e507dded9 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 From what I have heard so far things are generally looking good and looking forward to hearing the rest of the album and an't wait to hear it all live. Bottom of my list is: Showbiz/The 2nd Law Middle: The Resistance/OOS Top: Absolution/BH&R Currently rating the stuff we have heard so far nearer to the top of my scale. Lets hope the rest of the album delivers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodius Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 One thing for sure is that Drones is better than T2L and TR combined.

Mr Problematique Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 So far: OoS>Absolution>BHaR>Drones>Showbiz>The Resistance>The 2nd Law But if The Handler, Defector and The Globalist are as good as they seem, Drones could become a top 3 album to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution>OoS>Showbiz>BHR>Drones>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>t2l>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TR Absolution>OoS>BHR>Showbiz>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>t2l This is how I'd rank the albums we currently have taking into account consistency in terms of flow and musical quality, as well as coherence, with regards to each song standing alone strongly and acting strongly together as effective and necessary constituent units of an album. Here's my prediction based on what we have on Drones so far... Absolution>Drones>OoS>BHR>Showbiz>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>t2l This doesn't take into account favorite albums IMO, trying to be as objective as possible with this highly subjective sort of thing by trying to focus only on how everything fits together. Here's my favorites prediction, in which case certain albums that lack in terms consistency/coherency with great standout songs move higher than otherwise 'more' consistent/coherent albums.

Archer29 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Could Monday's surprise not be the Mercy video? It's got to drop before the album release surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolFunkMan Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 For me its: OoS > Abso > BH&R > TR > Showbiz >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.T2L So far Drones is fitting nicely between BH&R and TR, although it could easily equal BH&R in quality, if the rest of the album is as good, maybe even surpass it.

rainer219 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Not a fan of rankings - everybody has their different tastes and there's usually no reasoning provided for the rankings, and if there is, it's the obvious stuff. To me it just fills up the board uselessly. NOT intending to be a negative nancy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 So in other news, Giraffage (electronic music artist) performed for free at my uni and played "Darude - Sandstorm" as a joke and everyone still danced.

Dillyracer Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Just listened to the songs in the right order, the fact that they flow so nicely already makes it a fun listening experience. Mercy is a nice breather between Psycho and Reapers too. Even though I'll probably end up liking BH&R more, this album is flowing much better from what I've heard.
