LewisF Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 They said that Defector is brilliant though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobiiiaaas Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 They said that Defector is brilliant though and the best track is Revolt. Could be a win-win either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 It almost seems like he mixed up the descriptions of The Handler, Defector, and Revolt, when you compare them to every single other (p)review. And the guy that said there would be BIG surprises next week is now retracting a bit because of the hype, and saying he wishes he didn't add the "big" because some people might be disappointed.

Mr Problematique Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Fuck, I'm quite intrigued with Revolt, it could be one of their biggest piece of shit or a really interesting song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm pretty sure Defector was described before as having operatic (Queen) vocals, Revolt as very poppy, and The Handler as having monster riffs and tempo changes. So it really does seem like NME mixed the 3 of them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say so. I think the monumental riffs that he said were on Revolt is really The Handler. The slinky pop he said was Defector is really Revolt and the one with 'Radio Ga Ga' chords is meant to be Defector. If he has botched it, then that's poo journalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiT Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 How can Defector be pop? It was a heavy drop D riff song with Queenish vocals judging from the making of video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesseract Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Good job putting it all together Anyone else a tad concerned with the number of Queen comparisons? Not really, considering the comparisons have been happening at least since Absolution, possibly earlier. Also I like Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That_Italian_Guy Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If Defector is influenced by 70's Queen, I'm happy with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Problematique Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 And we have only had Queen comparisons with Defector so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
