Drones Album Discussion Thread

[Alexander DeLarge]

Oh wow the Globalist riff really did end too early.

 

This. Especially that part at the end with the background vocals. It could have been way more massive than it already was.

 

I think this Globalist riff is my favorite Muse riff ever. They should have made this into its own song.

[DyingAtheist98]

Well - that's the first and last time I listen to the title track - Drones.

 

What. were. you. thinking. Matt.

 

Listen again, its quite good in my opinion

[CatchHellBlues]

Lots of this seems like something you'd hear at a stage show musical rather than a rock band.

I'm so undecided on Revolt. Probably because I was too busy laughing my head off to form an actual opinion. Though it might just end up being like IBTY - so ridiculous that I end up loving it

 

Def prefer IBTY to this, because it's musically so "out there". Revolt is pretty safe tbh.

[Wickerman]

Revolt... Oh man... Revolt. Oh. That's... terrihorrible. Worse than Big Freeze and GL COMBINED. Defector is great. Aftermath is a bit cheesy,yes,but good. Drones is... erm... weird. Globalist is not the track that was hyped,but it's not bad.

[ThomasGully]

Listen again, its quite good in my opinion

 

its good, but I'm afraid matts gone a bit loopy

[connorcinhull]

I actually live Revolt. Solid little poppy track

[frozenbanana]

The Handler's still awesome as fuck

[OriginofAbsolution]

It sounds like NME was right. The album seems like a 7-8/10. Overall nice work Muse. They are making a comeback. And let's face it people they just got back into rock the 8th album will definitely have great raw, rock songs.

[JessicaSarahS]

Whelp. Guess I'll go back to my playlist of Reapers and The Handler on repeat.

[Old Man Pigeon]

I don't think I'll ever listen to The Globalist again. The album ended at Aftermath for me

[Museic07]

Lots of this seems like something you'd hear at a stage show musical rather than a rock band.

 

Yep - very much so.

[chrsjrcj]

Bit stuck on where it'll fit on the 'best four piece' thread though. If JFK isn't counted as an individual song, would you pick Mercy or Revolt?

 

Revolt, easily.

 

Though, I like Mercy too.

[kueller]

So I like the 3rd part of The Globalist when it gets larger, but it could've cut to this later, and let the heavy part go on longer.

[DramaQueen.]

The change of style in The Globalist is so fucking weird

[matthijs]

It's great that Fabri got to miss a leak on the board again though

[Asmodius]

Dead Inside: 5/10

Psycho: 5/10

Mercy: 7/10

Reapers: 8/10

The Handler:9/10

Defector: 8/10

Revolt: 2/10

Aftermath: 4/10

Globalist: 7/10

Drones: 2/10

 

Overall: 57/100

Not very good...Better than TR and T2L but not by a big margin

[Cyndris]

I feel like a douche actually playing the whole album from the beginning. Everybody's talking about The Globalist and Defector and stuff, while I'm still listening to Psycho

[Mr Problematique]

WTF I'm going to cut the second half of The Globalist

[jtj39]

here to confirm that the end of the globalist is 99% explorers.

 

I liked explorers, but I don't need another one. It was a track I skipped often after the first month after T2L came out.

[DramaQueen.]

NO:mad:

 

 

jk

[Old Man Pigeon]

Drones the track is terrible. Oh my god

[spark_]

So I like the 3rd part of The Globalist when it gets larger, but it could've cut to this later, and let the heavy part go on longer.

 

They could have added an actual transition too, rather than just cut to it.

 

Otherwise - it's not CE2 (no real relation at all tbh) but I actually like it otherwise. It's definitely the song I want to listen to again (which is what I'm doing now).

[Miss T]

Ok, the use of "baby" in lyrics can gtfo. I was so happy that Muse was one band that didn't seem to be infected with this crap.

 

Def prefer IBTY to this, because it's musically so "out there". Revolt is pretty safe tbh.

I'll have to listen again and compare tomorrow when I'm not giddy with laughter and liqueur

How in God's name is The Globalist Citizen Erased 2?
