Drones Album Discussion Thread

[MusingVash]

Its simply awesome.

 

I dig it.

 

However, the outro is something I have to get used to, even though it flows very well.

 

So glad i got the delivery on friday

[Boogles.]

How are people receiving the album today??

 

 

Amazon doesn't use the postal service, they send their own courier who delivers it.

Really? Most of my Amazon orders usually show up with the normal post.

Do you buy from Amazon themselves or just a user?

[MUFC]

It depends I suppose, bit of both, guess that explains it! I've ordered Drones from actual Amazon and it says it was dispatched yesterday and that I should expect it tomorrow

Quick question guys, may be stupid, or already asked. Can't get the shop to work properly on my phone, so yeh;

 

The deluxe edition, got mines today and received the art prints #3 and #4 of 10 (Mercy and Reapers). Does this mean there are prints for each song, and they're randomly distributed with the deluxe editions?

Yup, a quick Google can find you the other artworks.

Evidently, I forgot to add whether there was any news on the prints being released separately

The album pre-order announcement said "Deluxe Package: exclusive to the Muse Official Store. Includes 12" tri-fold 180g vinyl, CD+DVD, digital download and two exclusive art prints."

Which is the same as The Resistance and The 2nd Law deluxe editions, which were the same prints for everyone.

 

Kind of disappointed there's no option to grab the others then, some of the artwork is brilliant.

Yeah, same. I wasn't aware of Amazon delivering even when it's Sunday.

[Boogles.]

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when I received an email telling me to expect it to arrive today, and very pleased when it was posted through my letterbox a few hours later, even though it's expected delivery date was for tomorrow.

Seems that's not the case for me.

[Clunge]

EDIT: from Amazon.

Nice! How do you rate Drones in comparison with the other albums?

[Clunge]

Well, I've been listening to it all week. It's solid, but it's never going to dethrone OoS or Absolution. It is an improvement on The Resistance and The 2nd Law though, so yeah - good enough.

[MancMuse]

After 1 play through it is my 4th favourite Muse album and better than the last 3.

Best concept album since The Wall.

[kopite]

Our copy of the Deluxe arrived today @6:15pm via Hermes (although the bloody courier had had it since 9:15am yesterday!!).

[jonisdead]

Best concept album since The Wall.

 

Personally I'd save this title for Frances the Mute.

[FabriPav]

Nah Drones is clearly the best concept album ever.

[Henz]

I'm just happy that this isn't the worst album so far, which is how I felt when both The Resistance and The 2nd Law dropped.

 

Not a fan of Mercy but the first half or so is solid. It does fall off heavily from Revolt onwards though.

[googoogee]

Nah Drones is clearly the best concept album ever.

 

Not ever. Just since the wall duuuude.

[CatchHellBlues]

I love those last lines of The Handler from "I won't let you control my feelings any more"

Same here. And I will add The Suburbs too, even if it's not the best Arcade Fire record.
