frozenbanana Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Just watched the video again. 100% says 'babe' Doesn't really bother me though if I'm honest... Does he though? He definitely goes for 2 syllables... perhaps it's "baby" or "babe, and", but I don't see it scanning with just "babe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatchHellBlues Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Does he though? He definitely goes for 2 syllables... perhaps it's "baby" or "babe, and", but I don't see it scanning with just "babe" I can certainly hear the first 'b' and the second is even clearer. Whether he's saying babe or baby the difference is negligible IMO... If you look at Chris you can see him say babe/baby for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyn Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Quite a bit of negativity regarding the album at the moment. For what it's worth, I like Dead Inside, Psycho and Mercy. I think I'm going to like Reapers and The Globalist too. The Handler sounds awesome - really looking forward to hearing this. Not sure about Defector from what I've heard, and I'm worried that I'm going to absolutely hate Drones. Nothing really to say about the other songs, as I don't yet know enough about them. So all in all, things looking pretty good from where I'm standing. Also, I couldn't care less if he says 'babe', 'baby' or not in Reapers - doesn't bother me at all.

Mattestro Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm hyped for this, but not looking forward to lyric complaints which are obviously inevitable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee3Dee Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Based on the new descriptions and information, I feel like this album will be pretty disappointing in a way. The lyrics seem to be some of the worst shit Matt has ever written. Drones went from being interesting to seemingly the worst track on the album and well...I don't even know. The hype has died down, but I'm still curious to actually hear the songs. I'm just going to assume that the album will be shit and hope they keep up the good setlists instead.

Jobby Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Handler has some sort of flgiht of the bumblebee fast guitar riff Most likely this? If so, The Handler is sounding promising. Just woke up so I'm trying to catch up on whatever's happened. How come everyone thinks Drones is gonna be shit all of a sudden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibros Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 This whole CIA babe thing, is the reviewer sure of this or they just wrote what they think he says like we did with the live versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTM Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm just glad that "cheesy" and "bad" lyrics don't really play into if I enjoy a song or not. Also, were people expecting subtlety when it was announced that Drones was a concept album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 This whole CIA babe thing, is the reviewer sure of this or they just wrote what they think he says like we did with the live versions? I'd assume they get to listen to the whole album and make notes of anything they find interesting (lyrics, comparisons etc). So, yeah, that'll just be what they hear, I think that particular lyric is right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanom Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Fuck reading that article im 10 times more hyped now. Cant wait to listen to globalist + drones about the CIA babe thing, I dont really care and I dont understand why lyrics cants be "cheesy". Reapers is an amazing song nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That_Italian_Guy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Well, one of the songs from OOS contains the word 'baby'. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum IV Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Reviews have a habit of being wrong about lyrics. Best to read them selectively. The album is structured much like the last two. 8 full songs with ~10 minutes of progressive wank tacked on. Matt is still clearly insane. I haven't been this keen to hear his output since before Psycho was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topo_musero Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yeah, that "babe" is weird because I don't know what or who Matt is referring to. But I'm hearing the pro-shot, and I don't hear "babe", he pronounces two sillabes, or am I wrong? I'm not a native speaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisF Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 It's a great riff (or whatever you would call it) too. I've said before that I could imagine the riff being played on the low E string as a heavy riff, and being played as a solo (with a whammy pedal).

Captain Radiator Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Are people seriously getting upset over one word. I certainly am. Am I not allowed to? It's a horrible word. Its one of the cringiest words ever, in the context that Matt is using it in. Its not like I'm saying its ruined the album, we already have a babe on Dead Inside after all.
