iLoveOldMuse Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I cannot get enough of this song. On repeat forever! Those who did not get or feel IT after the first time will be known as Twilighter Muse fans forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum IV Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 They're both pretty equal to me so far. The Handler has a slight edge at the moment because it's new. It's good overall, but the solo is annoying. Muse seem to be developing a trend of stretching ideas too far. and reapers is well.. still a mess.

HagBR Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Just noticed the transition to [JFK] starts right at the last second, 4:32. Love when songs connect like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodius Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Love the song. Not a fan of the breakdown but I assume this will be on guitar live and that will be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen Erased 01 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Holy shit! This song is incredible!!!! either you've only just heard it, or the first time you heard it you fainted because it was so awesome and have only just woken up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplytom Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Anyone else getting an Assassin vibe? Especially about 2:21 and with the voice repeating. Not that I'm complaining, Assassin is one of my favourites and I think The Handler will too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLoveOldMuse Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Matt describes it as a dark song. Interview from Q magazine: "The Handler features a middle section which harks back to Showbiz (the song). Matt: The lyrics are almost a question and answer with that song." http://i.imgur.com/YayZBVx.jpg What do you think/hope? OMG. It is only now I thought about navigating this thread starting from the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolFunkMan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The solo/riffage at about 2:20 really reminds me of In Your World. Fuck yes, this is soooo goood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginOfAbso Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) I'd love if they closed gigs with this song, maybe with some riffs at the end. Edited June 1, 2015 by Matthz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

problemattic6492 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I don't mean to be a downer, but I wish Matt's lyrics weren't so painfully literal. I feel like they've been getting worse, and they're the only thing that holds me back from really loving this song. As it stands, Reapers edges it out for me because at least in Reapers his vocals are distorted, and the actual words are less intrusive/important, and his voice mostly just works as an instrument. But hell, I'm not complaining THAT much. I definitely like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLoveOldMuse Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Reapers is a homage to RATM, Prince and co. The Handler is an evolution of classic Muse sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topo_musero Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I can't study, I'm definitely addicted to the song. I thing it could be one of the best songs they've ever done, and I don't think I'm exaggerating. And it's a grower. I want this album so bad...

Citizen_Eraser Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I never am one to buy into "this is their best song since x" type crap this early on but this is the best Muse rock song I've heard since Absolution and its an instant top 10. It's not even because its new but this is better than Hysteria, Stockholm, nearly even CE but I like CE for different reasons than I like this. Fuck yes. This is the Muse I've been dying to hear since the early 2000s. They haven't sounded this dark or foreboding almost ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hell, I'm not complaining THAT much. I definitely like it. I actually feel his voice in this song works much more like an instrument than it does in Reapers. This reminds me of how it blended back during Origin and Absolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
