Drones Album Discussion Thread

[Mr Problematique]

Musically coherent or lyrical content coherent?

[CatchHellBlues]

aha yes I can see that comparison I got confused for a second

 

Yeah, its one of those things for me that you just can't un-hear

[CatchHellBlues]

Only listened to the songs released so far, so up to Defector. Wasn't really into it at first but now I'm really liking it. The Handler is still my favorite so far. Pretty excited for the release tomorrow

 

One thing I love about the Handler is when matt is when Matt is belting out the " I must disassociate from you" line I love that part where the music stops for a brief second and it's just Matt singing that long note! Then the bass/drums/gtar kick back in

 

Totally bit that!

There's a trend on YouTube atm of uploading full albums slower to avoid detection things and I must say Psycho sounds pretty awesome slowed down.

A trend that exists for like what, 5 years?

Intriguing.

Anybody think there will be B-Sides for this album?

[ninsp]

Surprised people haven't been doing this from the start

Well, the original leak was compressed as shit and some of us have jobs.

 

Arguably one of the strongest first halves of a Muse album, ever. I also really like The Globalist, but I'm a prog fanboy.

[jangdiin]

OK, I am ready, gonna listen to the album now. From start to finish

 

So hyped

No? It was leaked in FLAC.

[jangdiin]

What songs had you heard before starting the album?

 

Dead Inside, Psycho, Mercy and Reapers!

 

I'm currently at Reapers, damn, so hyped for The Handler. Given all the positive reactions.

Oh wow you haven't heard it yet?? I'm excited for you

[ninsp]

No? It was leaked in FLAC.

 

A transcode MP3 converted into FLAC, that clipped horribly.

[jangdiin]

Gosh, I have no idea how any song could top Reapers. That fucking song

[jonisdead]

It wasn't a transcode, it was FLAC ripped from the CD. Jsyk, every song on the record "clips horribly" because of the loudness wars.

Did you listen to the Handler? Best song ever

No, it was a transcode.

[jonisdead]

No, it was a transcode.

 

you must have downloaded the shit leak then

[ninsp]

you must have downloaded the shit leak then

 

No, it was a transcode. If you run it through Audacity, you can distinctly see where it cuts off. It was a 128kbps transcode turned into FLAC.

 

Was there two leaks? The original one I downloaded sounded like ass.

 

That's why when you go from Drill Sergeant to Psycho the volume drastically gets quieter.

So, how ya like it?
