PeedgeMcDuck Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Nope. I find the bridge pointless and static. And a rip-off of In Your World. Doms drumming is so uninspired. It sounds as if it's trying to be big and epic and doesn't actually get there. Especially the vocals. Bass work is great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckerss Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 So I just listened to it it after listening to all the others in order. This time with headphones. Actually heard the "follow the yellow brick road" thing in Reapers this time and it actually fits in really well considering the whole alice in wonderland thing is often considered something to do with the illuminati/mind control funnily enough. But holy shit yes that bit just before they go back into the riff at the end of The Handler. It is literal sex. It is the chorus of Fury level of sex. This song might shoot up the ranks to join my top 10 Muse songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craaig Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The Handler and Reapers are the first Muse songs to replicate the feeling I had when i first listened to them, coming up to 10 years ago now. So relieved they're delivering This, although probably just with The Handler. I love Reapers but TH just has that feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeterna Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I don't think there is a Muse song that's unanimously liked,so I'm not surprised there are people who don't like this. Even I might not like it as much after the hype has dried out,but then again I might. Literally nothing is unanimously liked, so you're correct there.

cornfellow Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Sounds great, possibly the Wizard Of Oz samples from that IG video could be included in this song? Just a thought That is in reapers at the very end. follow the yellow brick road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyracer Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 That synth going on in the background during the chorus takes me back to OoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased 01 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Same here. Going to try and see them live as much as possible this tour, just hope they play all the songs. There's no way they could miss this out yet play Uprising and Starlight, hell even TIRO and Hysteria. What kind of fucking world do we live in???

RobTheMoose Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I can't believe how good Reapers and The Handler sound. Also loving the production on those two songs as well, everything is pointing towards this album being great. Also: The Handler > Reapers > Dead Inside > Psycho > Mercy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topo_musero Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Atm, I think I'm Reapers > The Handler > Dead Inside > Psycho > Mercy. Exactly the same, although I'm doubting between Reapers and The Handler... I must admit that TH makes me feel more, I don't know how to explain it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con101 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 https://instagram.com/p/z3koYnHXTm/?taken-by=muse Guess we were wrong about this little ditty being a part of The Handler, wonder where it will end up now? I hope it makes it onto the album in some capacity, I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Pigeon Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I can't be the only one who thinks it's (the solo) not "Angus Young" at all then? The solo is pure Bellamy This song doesn't sound like anyone other than Muse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
