Drones Album Discussion Thread

[Citizen_Eraser]

Me too It shouldn't have leaked. Now we got nothing to do or feel excited for. Life's sad

 

I wish The Handler didn't come out yesterday and we all heard it first time from the leak. The impact would've been even more than it already had.

[Captain Radiator]

Completely forgot to mention Aftermath. Its still a bit strange to me, would be a lot better without the strings and the other assorted background waffle I think.

[Citizen_Eraser]

Are the videos up at all? The proshots from the dvd? We all want to see The Handler's sound check performance.

[CatchHellBlues]

So far my highlights are:

Defector

Globalist

Reapers

Mercy

Dead Inside

 

Disappointments:

Revolt

Handler

Drones

 

Neither ATM:

Psycho

Aftermath

This was posted on /mu/ and I can't really deny it. Just change OK tier to SOLID tier.

Been searching dude to no avail so far....Anyone? There was post from earlier with some guy saying he was listening to the tracks in the lossless HD codecs somehow....Yet I don't see any downloads of that yet, surely that won't be available to release day when the links are emailed out?

Upon second listen, Defector is actually pretty awesome. Revolt suffers from a pretty silly pre-chorus. I like the versus, but I love 80's music.

[Asmodius]

The Handler

Defector

Globalist

[kamikazestyle]

Gonna agree with most that after a second listen it does start to grow on you more.

[CatchHellBlues]

Just listened to The Globalist again, anyone think the kick after the countdown sounds a lot like B&H live?

The pre chorus in Revolt is inexcusable. I find it hard to believe Chris and Dom weren't at a little bit wanting to step in and go "uh Matt no that's too far."

[problemattic6492]

A lot of the second half of the album leads me to think that Matt should actually try to write some musicals... No, I'm not trying to be condescending. He should takes his talents somewhere where some gaudiness might be more appreciated. Revolt, the end of Aftermath, the end of The Globalist...

I've learnt to like you spidey

Agreed pretty much

[Archer29]

Defector is getting better with more listens, whilst Revolt is getting worse I think for the first time I rate two albums equal, heres my feelings at the moment.

 

OoS>BH&R>Abso>Drones=TR>Showbiz>T2L

 

Loving Aftermath. Muse have actually made a love song work again.

[Asmodius]

how can you not?

[k024er7]

I still can't feel anything for Defector Going to listen the full thing now...Dead Inside seems to be one of the best tracks now, never thougth I'd say this '-'

[The2ndwub]

OOS

Drones

Absolution

Showbiz

BHAR

The Resistance

T2L

 

i'm even starting to feel like, Drones might overthrow OOS soon enough.

[Archer29]

I agree. How can they step in with Soaked but not Revolt?

[Redwingsrock]

I feel like it could be in a commercial or something....ugh. It kinda ruins an otherwise decent song.

Maybe that would get it out of his system

We can always edit the song and remove it

Loving Aftermath. Muse have actually made a love song work again.

 

Agreed. On the 2nd listen, I think Aftermath is pretty fucking awesome. The guitar work and solo are top notch. Is this the first "proper" ballad Muse have done since Falling Away With You?

[kueller]

We always assume Chris and Dom are the level headed anti-theatric duo always there to reel Matt in.

[Citizen_Eraser]

They stepped in with Soaked?? That song was amazing. Better than at least 70% of the stuff that has made it to the last 3 albums.
