Aeterna Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Guess I like dark, seductive songs and sounds. I love things like Time is Running Out for that. The first half of this song, the riff and Matt singing "Yayayayayayaya" at the end is 10/10 for precisely that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I can't think how they'd pull this off live though, it's far too good to try and emulate surely?I think you're exaggerating quite a bit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutiioN Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Don't know if someone has said this before but no "soul", "kill" or "drones" in The Handler It does have the words "mind" and "heart" though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased 01 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I think you're exaggerating quite a bit now. I meant difficult to emulate haha, and yeah I am but I still doubt they can match it live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolutioner Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 You know what? Some good old fashioned wailing from Matt over that solo would have made it perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim59 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Reapers was received positively by the board, generally. It's just that I've seen a lot of "first Muse song in years that sounds like proper Muse" or "hard rock Muse yeah" or "they're finally back" type posts. Idk.

Tobiiiaaas Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Listened to it twice, now it's time for the full Dead Inside - The Handler run through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con101 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Reapers was on the same level as this for me. Surprised this is the first song people are loving, when the two sort of have a similar vibe. I don't know. Opinions, I guess. Yeah. Check the polls again, studio Reapers received near-unanimous acclaim also, assuming that "electronically arousing" was a positive reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc2rxo Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I've been listening on repeat since it popped on Spotify. I can't get enough of the hooks in verses and the chorus. Damn it is so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 "I won't let you control my feelings any more." Showbiz much? . I've just remembered what the riffing reminds me of - The Root Of All Evil by Dream Theater, and also a touch of Energy Is Never Lost, Just Redirected by Arcane Roots.

colonizedmind Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Interesting, love the song, so not getting a lyric video with this one then? (yet) Was this the big surprise? Thought initially we were told NOT to expect a song... Maybe the BIG surprise was it was a song that can stand next to 10 years ago Muse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Jesus, the 'my transformation' bit is fucking sick. And that's an expression in nearly 26 years of life I've never used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

010101 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 "You were my oppressor And I, I have become programmed to obey Now, you are my handler And I, I will execute your demands. Leave me alone I must dissociate from you Behold my transformation And you are empowered to do as you please My mind was lost in translation And my heart has become a cold and impassive machine Leave me alone I must dissociate from you I won't let you control my feelings anymore And I will do As I am told And I am no longer afraid to walk alone Let me go, let me be I must stand free from your grip You will never own me" Lyrics according to someone in the youtube comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
