leggless Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 So to pass the time waiting for the album, I made a playlist replacing the Drones tracklisting with existing studio songs. It's based on recordings, reports and in some cases just guess work. I've tried to keep them close (whilst I recognise the futility of this exercise) , but hey... It's a bit of fun and makes for an interesting listen! Madness (=Dead Inside) Intro (=Drill sergeant) Yes Please (=Psycho) Starlight (=Mercy) Newborn (=Reapers) Showbiz (=The Handler) Prelude (=Jfk) Uprising (=Defector) Invincible (=Revolt) Endlessly (=Aftermath) Hoodoo + Citizen Erased (=The Globalist) Muscle Museum #2 [intro] (=Drones) That would have been not a bad album in it's own right... Looking forward to the proper album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiT Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The little riff at 7:49 in The Globalist actually reminds me of The Small Print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It obviously isn't on Stereogum otherwise everyone would have heard it already and been talking about it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiaMuse Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 So far... Pyscho is definitely Uprising 2.0 Dead Inside is a mashup of Undisclosed desires and the endings from Resistance/Madness Mercy is an early demo version of Starlight Reapers is the logical continuation of one of those Newton Abbot demo tracks if Muse had never become successful and were still copying RATM songs.

Oh I spot a particularly angry comment! Nah, I can see where you're coming from, but here's my thinking: Psycho: No synths. Yeah, similar tempo, tuning, key and shuffle rhythm, but everything else is different. Riff, lyrics, harmonic progression, solo. Dead Inside: I don't really like this one, but what's similar with UD? Drum beat, somewhat similar. Everything else, not so much. Mercy: Only similarities would be major key, piano-synth-bell instrument (the rhythm is very different to the Starlight one, however), and the use of distorted bass and a constant bass drum beat. Synth arpeggios as well. Heck, you can have this one - there are a lot of similarities, but I wouldn't call it an early demo of Starlight - I prefer this to Starlight probably because of a more distinct chorus, groovy bassline and splendid outro. Reapers: Ooiiii hahaha I'd say more ACDC, if anything. The solo, however, is a mix of the playings of Petrucci (Dream Theater) and Morello (RATM), so fair enough to bring up RATM there. Reapers is actually a fairly technical song in the genre of rock - just read about it on the Musewiki page, talking about chromatic movements, unstable tonal centres, using modes and the liking.

Yeah, similar tempo, tuning, key and shuffle rhythm, but everything else is different. Riff, lyrics, harmonic progression, solo. Someone did do a mashup of them very shortly after it came out and it did sound pretty cool for something put together very quickly... Dead Inside: I don't really like this one, but what's similar with UD? Drum beat, somewhat similar. Everything else, not so much. Yeah drumbeat is angry version of UD, and distorted octave bass riff/rhythm is similar to the slap bass octaves in UD Mercy: Only similarities would be major key, piano-synth-bell instrument (the rhythm is very different to the Starlight one, however), and the use of distorted bass and a constant bass drum beat. Synth arpeggios as well.

Reapers is actually a fairly technical song in the genre of rock - just read about it on the Musewiki page, talking about chromatic movements, unstable tonal centres, using modes and the liking. Yeah it is pretty technical by Muse standards, probably more so than Animals. Ok maybe it is quite a mix of classic rock and different guitarists, but I think perhaps the RATM style outro (I'm fairly sure this will be in the studio version as well, not just a live thing) is a bit excessive when there is already a Morello homage in the guitar solo.

Defector is Survival part 2, not sure how you get TaB out of it? similarly, Revolt is surely closer to Overdue than Assassin or KoC?
