That_Italian_Guy Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 That's what I think. It's powerful, uplifting. However I wanted a dark and heavy song. PLEASE SAVE US HANDLER, DEFECTOR, REVOLT, GLOBALIST So Psycho+Handler+Defector+Revolt+Globalist makes 5 songs out of 10 that are heavy....ugh Isn't Reapers kinda heavy as well?

PLEASE SAVE US HANDLER, DEFECTOR, REVOLT, GLOBALIST Muse were never going to make an album where every song was dark, though. Personally I'd rather the songs be good. I'm liking this much more than Dead Inside, which is comparatively a lot darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exogenesisman Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Gotta say I do love the track though, I just hope we get some more epic guitar songs as this song as a guitar heavy chorus but thats it in terms of guitar. Love all the falsetto in the chorus in this song to go along with Reapers Chorus lines. And shout out to the blessed soul who recorded this with his/her phone that was likely stuffed somewhere the sun does not shine Rating's so far: Dead Inside: 10/10 (not sure why some musers don't like this song, its dark lyrically, edgy musically and has a killer solo albeit a short one and some of the best vocals Matt has sung) Psycho: 9/10 Reapers: 10/10 Mercy: 9/10 I haven't loved the first barrage of songs off a New Muse album this much since probably Absolution or Black Holes, Drones is sounding pretty sweet to my ears!

jonisdead Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's like Bliss+Starlight+Stockholm Syndrome Bliss + Starlight is a good way to put it if you absolute had to draw a comparison like this.

Hat Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's like Bliss+Starlight+Stockholm Syndrome See this is why I don't trust Muse fans. Where do you hear Bliss or SS in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyrofunk Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 See this is why I don't trust Muse fans. Where do you hear Bliss or SS in this? Chorus piano, guitar and bass sound like SS, i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomesickSubterranean Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 See this is why I don't trust Muse fans. Where do you hear Bliss or SS in this? I can hear SS' chorus in the chorus for Mercy. But only in the fact that it's in half time on the drums. Other than that they're entirely different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I think there was some synth arpeggio going on, but that's hardly unique to Bliss. Damn, I really love that bass line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwingsrock Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Musically, the bridge at 2:38 with the phaser effect on the guitar is brilliant. My ranking thus far: Reapers - 8/10 Psycho - 12/10 (based on seeing it live. Muse really struck fucking gold with this one) Dead Inside - 7/10 Mercy - 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodius Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 See this is why I don't trust Muse fans. Where do you hear Bliss or SS in this? To me it sounds like Starlight and Explorers/ I can hear Bliss in the arpeggios, but explorers because of the way he's raising his voice in every verse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomesickSubterranean Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I can see this song being big in alternative stations. Also yeah I'm not hearing explorers aside from the fact that the vocals are really impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That_Italian_Guy Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 About time Chris delivered some cool basslines again. Both this song and Reapers have been remarkable from this point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 S'alright. Liked the synths. Loved the big outro too. But the intro, it's way way WAY too similar to Starlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if maybe Muse drop Starlight from the set when they play this song? I would really be OK with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomesickSubterranean Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 no way they drop starlight, it's hardly the only song most people know in the U.S., at least from my own experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 They really need to start rotating songs sensibly. A set with Mercy and Starlight and also Psycho and Uprising in it is going to be tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
