Drones Album Discussion Thread

[MrPsycho]

I must confess, last night I dreamt the album leaked.

 

:facepalm:

Got really high hopes for Defector after the 'making of' video leak. Guitar sounds great and the layered vocals sounded interesting.

 

Even though half the album has been released, we still have an epic 10 minute track to come and 3 songs that are getting positive reviews.

 

Could very well be up there with BH&R or even surpass it.

I don't think I've ever heard his MoTP edit...

This album is shaping up to be better than the last two anyway...

T2l sure but TR is sill in front IMO.

 

Might change when I hear The Handler though...

better than t2l yes but I know I am not alone with the opinion that TR was a great album

[Old Man Pigeon]

It will

[CatchHellBlues]

It will

 

 

This is why I'm glad I refrained from listening. I have zero hype about it, so no expectation.

 

All I know is that it's supposedly heavy...

Most definitely. Probably will obliterate TR by the time we all hit Defector.

[MuseMarc]

It will

that was incredible. way better than the original

It will. The Handler has single-handedly outclassed both TR and T2L.

Pretty much

[Old Man Pigeon]

Controversial this, but I think this is the best production on a Muse album ever.

Matt's guitars have never sounded better! They've struggled to reproduce his live tone for a while but I think it's spot on for what we've heard of Drones so far.

[CatchHellBlues]

Most definitely. Probably will obliterate TR by the time we all hit Defector.

 

IDK man, Uprising, Resistance, USoE, US, MK, IBTY and Exo were all pretty good songs, some better than others but out of the stuff so far I'd only say that Reapers is possibly better than these.

[jonisdead]

Yeah, but T2L also had Survival, Animals, Unsus, and IS. Neither are "great" cohesive albums even though some tracks stand out. Nice sig btw.

Man, you should just listen to it right now and discuss your opinion on it while the fun crowd is still awake...

yes but TR felt like an album and t2l did not so much

actually the majority of t2l songs are amazing

it is just that the build up from supremacy to panic station did not feel like it was a build up

I would but I told my friend we'd listen to it for the first time together and I don't want to be a traitor

TR definitely held together better than T2L. Basically if you retracked both albums, you'd have a solid prog album and a solid pop album.

Think you're right here. TR had a much better flow IMO.

 

Especially USoE into Guiding Light

 

Oh and I forgot Undisclosed Desires from my list!

[MuseMarc]

I would but I told my friend we'd listen to it for the first time together and I don't want to be a traitor

 

sounds more fun actually

I live with 2 musicians and I can't get them hyped so much

although the one who is a bassplayer likes muse a lot he simply is not able to be a muser

That feel when I'll sleep through this glorious moment of restored faith in Muse :'(
