Drones Album Discussion Thread

[ManiaMuse]

BH&R loses at least two points for me just for Exo-Politics .

 

Genuinely among my very least favourite Muse songs.

 

Exo politics and Assassin are so weak on BH&R compared to the way they played them a couple of times at the end of the Absolution tour. And don't forget the shite that is Soldier's Poem...

 

Which is a shame because the first four songs on BH&R work great together, as do the final three songs and Invincible is not too bad in the grand scheme of things.

I've just listened to The Globalist again

 

I could listen to that riff endlessly. What a moment!

 

Great song

 

All the tracks have grown on me massively, even revolt. I found them all terrible at first listen. Fuck you muse, fuck you.

 

true fans at their best

Like the song actually titled Drones because you know like, that makes so much sense.....

 

Wow you are annoying. The title track is outside of the concept, but is an epilogue for the whole album. It just isn't a part of the protagonist's story.

[Archer29]

Yes or No, has the Drones live songs DVD leaked?

It's the end of The Globalist. The reason we never heard anything about it until the reviews, is because Matt simply referred to it as if it was actually part of TG.

I'm actually liking more of the tracks straight away than in comparison to T2L. I'll probably be listening to more than double the songs down the line in Drones in comparison.

No.

Yeah I know, the person was arguing saying that certain songs were forced in and not actually a part of the concept, and that stuff like Aftermath didn't make sense with things like The Globalist and Drones after it. I was saying that we know that The Globalist and Drones are a separate part from the main concept that runs from Dead Inside through Aftermath.

So who is listening Radio 2? soon!

Why? What's happening?

[Citizen Erased 01]

So who is listening Radio 2? soon!

 

wha?

[Archer29]

No.

 

Thank you

 

I'm gutted that the making of is only the ten minutes we've seen. I suppose the live songs and this will all run as one, so there's no extra footage of Mercy, Revolt, Aftermath and Drones

[JessicaSarahS]

Seems after the knee jerk reactions last night that the feeling is pretty positive 24 hours later. Definitely looking forward to hearing these tracks live. Some are going to be fantastic.

 

Yeah, it's pretty good listening all the way through a few times.

Matt and Dom are there after the news!

 

Everyone sunk into this thread

Only according to Matt; the protagonist after escaping ascends and falls during that track becoming the evil he was trying to avoid. The "second narrative" is necessarily linked to the first and I think there really only is one story. The segues alone should make that obvious

they don't give much warning do they

[jonisdead]

Matt just said in the lamacq interview too that The Globalist is the epilogue, so it really is just one story.

[jonisdead]

This

 

It's probably because those two tracks took them the longest to produce.

[Claudia O]

Now!

[Citizen Erased 01]

Matt just said in the lamacq interview too that The Globalist is the epilogue, so it really is just one story.

 

oh right, thought he said the opposite for a while

[ninsp]

I'd like the album a whole lot more if Revolt and Drones wasn't on it.

[jonisdead]

oh right, thought he said the opposite for a while

 

He still says its "two narratives" but referring to it as the "epilogue" tells us really what it is. Again, the segue is a really obvious tip off to it.
