I just created a sig to remember me to never trust in reviews, EVER

[serpentsatellite]

i hated explorers because it was a "lullaby" thats theme was running out of room on earth. just bad.

 

A lullaby about running out of room on earth... and fearing for the future your child will have. I find it really pretty and sad.

"Creative" doesn't mean "good" though, technically...

[aleluman]

Except they rated it as the best song of the album , forgot to add that bit

[AJAW]

Whenever I listen to defector all i can picture is long haired, jesus Matt headbanging

[BTM]

Defector is impossible not to headbang to.

[defector]

it sure is sad, but when you're writing a "lullaby" you're putting your kid to sleep and saying, "yeah we're running out of room kid, you're probably a goner"

 

i wish i could find it any other way, but thats just impossible to overlook personally. and thats not my relationship with the globalist, so i dont relate to the comparisons.

[rainer219]

Does anybody find Revolt..Revolting.

I thought it was pretty neat! It was catchy, there were nice hooks, the tempo change really makes it good!

[andy24]

Finally home from work and about to listen to the album. From the things I've been reading, it doesn't look like I'll enjoy the second half. But here we go!

[Bumpypotato]

Revolt and Aftermath almost feel like fallout from T2L.

[TrebleRose689]

I like the "tier" idea, so here's mine (based on just two listens of the full album, so this could change! ):

 

Oh my God yesssssss:

The Handler

Reapers

 

¡Me gusta!:

Dead Inside

Psycho

Defector

 

Not bad:

The Globalist

Mercy

Aftermath

Drones

 

What the hell am I listening to???

Revolt

[serpentsatellite]

It really fits my mental image of Matt, though. So, so much.

[jonisdead]

Gonna go down on record as saying that the fanbase will learn to appreciate The Globalist into Drones. The hate for Drones isn't merited, as is the hate for the ending of The Globalist.

[serpentsatellite]

I'm actually surprised at the hate for TG. It was nearly universally loved even in the bad reviews.

 

I mean, yes, it was WAY overhyped... but so was TH, and everyone is still wanking over that one (not that it isn't merited.)

 

I mean, not that I've actually heard TG...

petition for muse to rerecord the globalist and double the length of the heavy part in place of the piano ending

[lurkinglurkerlurksagain]

Hold up, did it leak while I was away?

The hate for the track Drones is simply because the song is almost a gregorian chant, something rock/pop crowds are not used to.

 

Many fans will tolarate it because is Matt, others not even that, but mainstream audiences when they think about rock expect something about a girl, a party or a bottle of whiskey, not gregorian music.

 

Saying that, i'm glad they pull it on the album, fuck the people, if they thought they should put on the record i'm fine with it.

I'm up for that, because The Globalist is a stellar track for me but i feel the guitar part is too short, something like they did with Assassin would be great.

[heyjackk]

The guitar part is one of the best things they've recorded in ages to be honest, shame about the piano ending being rather terrible in comparison

it was a ballsy move that paid off.
