lets wait till 2018 for the next muse album, i think they'll really understand how to create a really good album then :p don't mean to sound harsh haha, most songs didn't click for me, I'm confident they're next record will follow up on the errors of the 2nd law, and drones

This is just not good. Totally lost it after Defector. They need to start writing more songs before they release an album, Revolt, Aftermath, Drones do not belong on an album.

 

Edit: The Handler is really fucking good. So we know they can still write a good song. But man, some of this is just not listenable. I don't think I'll ever listen to Drones (song) again. Christ.

Not sure what to think right now. I'm stunned. Have to try and wrap my head around this and then listen again at some point. First impression: they must have recorded the first 6 songs, took a long break to watch a bunch of lifetime movies and go to church a few times, then came back to record the rest.

Avoiding reading other's reactions, but here are mine so far.

 

Defector: Pretty cool, boring melody and kinda repetitive. I'm sure it'll get better with more listens

 

Revolt: Not as bad as expected but pretty forgettable.

 

Aftermath: Beautiful. Guitar and bass are on point. One of the most un-Musey songs I've ever heard but it doesn't matter. Ending climax is like I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing...

 

Globalist and Drones coming up...

Have people heard the whole thing yet? If so, where would you put it on your list of albums so far? It beats The 2nd Law, for sure. Half of Showbiz was brilliant and half was alright/kind of good. Where does Drones fit in?

 

Absolution > OoS > Drones > BHaR > Showbiz > TR > T2L

Revolt = WTF

Globalist = Last 3:30 minutes of song is Explorers pt2 :eek:

Drones = First and last time I listen to that... what ever it was... sounded like I was in church

Reapers- fucking incredible 9/10

the handler - 10/10 everything i want in a muse song

[Jfk] orchestral back ground of defector nice speech 7/10

defector - queen backing vocals nice riff classic muse 8/10

revolt- Revshit fuck off worse then endlessly on absolution 1/10

the globalist- didn't live up to the hype but luckily im a sucker for nice chords and the middle is orgasmic but doesn't last long enough.

aftermath- chill song love it not heavy but nice and chill 8/10

drones- this isn't even a thing why is this even on the album surely a piss take -10/10

JFK and Defector - 8/10 (solid rock stomper)

Revolt - 5/10 (saved by some nice guitar work)

Aftermath - 6.5/10 (could've been an 8.5 but for the last minute)

The Globalist - 3/10 (what even is it???)

Drones - 0/10 (worst Muse song ever)

 

I put this slightly above The Resistance and T2L

 

Reapers, The Handler, Defector saved it from being a complete disaster
