henners Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I don't think this sounds remotely like Queen beyond the backing vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 This could end up being my favourite song from the album after The Handler and The Globalist. That slow and granitic beat cadence by Dom, merged with that roaring guitar tone and Matt's triumphant vocal tone, gets me every time. And the solo, although essential in its structure, it's simply effective and quite "happily" haunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalvaBlanco Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Unlike Revolt and Mercy, this song has quickly grown on me. But it needs that JFK intro, because without the build-up the song is slightly too repetitive. Also, while The Handler and Reapers are the best songs on the album, this is the most fun one to listen to in the car. Dat riff. I think they NEED to make this the next single.

Hopix Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Listening in context to the album for the first time, and this song is fucking awesome, Queen or not. Agreed. It has so much energy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 What is Matt trying to say when he says "inciting"? 'Inci-ci-citing" Fuck knows why. I kinda like it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukester911 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 What is Matt trying to say when he says "inciting"? Sounds like in-sin-sin-citing, with where they've put the stutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M[US]E Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Kinda random but kind of got me thinking. Any thoughts that this will be part of the new stage design (4:00 into the music video?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4N5 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 It does remind a lot of the TV screen visuals they had on the pyramid, but I doubt they will do that again. Furthermore, a sphere is probably harder to make and to incorporate in the live show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manualex Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Perhaps Matt will do something like this when he sings"look into my eyes"?? Would be funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalvaBlanco Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Goddammit this song is so bouncy and hilarious. Musically it has that feel of a kid going up to the local schoolyard bully and taunting him, sticking his tongue out and going "nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh" And that slight pause in: "We'll watch it get razed... (wait for it...) BY A DEFECTOR!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Pigeon Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I think this might be my new favourite. I keep flicking to the start of JFK when I'm walking home from work. I feel ace after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased 01 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I think this might be my new favourite. Thought this was the revolt thread by accident, when I read your statement I was like "the world has literally turned inside out". But I swiftly discovered my error. Yeah Defector's good, a grower too, wasn't impressed first few times I heard it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

di5 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I wasn't too keen on 'Defector' when I first heard it. I gave it 6/10 in my album rating. But it's one of those songs that stick in your head, and after a good few more listens I'd have to increase that to 8/10. So it is a bit poppy, Queen-like, whatever..... It's definitely stuck in my head. And the lyric video, looks like the fun Matt of a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the combination of Reapers->The Handler->Defector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
