Drones Album Discussion Thread

[Boogles.]

I will go to one of their dates if it kills me so pumped after the Psycho tour, even their new setlists (barring Download obvs) can't bring my hopes down

 

I think the sets will improve when they headline their own shows, given that they're catering to a mostly mainstream audience at the moment. I think Matt's quite keen to keep The Groove and Assassin around, so there's a plus.

Hopefully Futurism as well. That live was a complete, utter beast

Man, that would be stellar. There's so many songs I want them to keep around, Futurism, Uno, Muscle Museum, Assassin to name a few.

[Citizen Erased 01]

There's always lots of guests watching these threads. Makes me feel slightly nervous

[Meisver]

MoTP and Bliss would make a good rotation imo. Also CE needs to be brought out more often. Beast.

 

If only ever...

saw that someone called Fabio is reading the thread, thought for a second it was Fabri. Wonder if he gets that a lot

Revolt has grown so much on me... Matt's falsetto on let's find a way to escaaaaaape! is great.

[smoledman]

By the time I get to "Revolt", I'm so revolted I have to put "Citizen Erased" on to cleanse the musical palate. I'm sure I'm not the only one. However I'm a 35+ Muser, so write it off to old-fartism.

More than on songs like USoE, I can appreciate the cheese factor on Revolt. Still not anywhere close to the strongest song on the album, but it's not mind numbingly dreadful to me now.

True. Thanks for reminding me how dreadful USoE was on first listen. I remember my shock at realizing that Muse was never going to be a serious band in the Radiohead tier after that.

[Alexander DeLarge]

I'm hoping they announce UK tour dates soon. With one of them being the Manchester Arena because I missed them at the Academy.

 

Considering they're touring here in August and we still don't have dates, I really doubt you'll be hearing anything until Christmas at the earliest

[Clunge]

Band have already said UK arena tour will be spring 2016, IIRC.

I thought it was early 2016, as in late winter?

[matthijs]

My guess is February

[Tim59]

Right after they've played in South Africa

[AdamCee]

Yeah I thought they said early 2016 for UK too

[Destroya]

Hoping for this to be during university term time, easier and cheaper to get to arenas from there and more people want to do standing.

With the exception of Psycho, it seems like Muse are trying to release all song lyric videos in order. Since they've done the first six songs, it only makes sense that they'll be doing the others too. I assume they'll do Revolt around the time they release it as a single, with the others to follow. I've loved the lyric videos so far, more so than the music videos, so I look forward to seeing the rest of them. I hope we don't have to wait too long for Revolt.

[serpentsatellite]

I really expected the Revolt video by now, followed by Aftermath, considering multiple people have said they are done already.

I wonder what gives?

Or... if they really ARE going to do Revolt as a single, and are therefore waiting with it...

Yeah, that's probably what's happening. Revolt was pretty much confirmed as a future single by that sticker that listed it with the others on the front of the album (only in certain countries though I think). I reckon we'll get a lyric video for Revolt around mid-July then an actual music video early August.

 

Not sure what they're gonna do about releasing the other songs though, if they even do.

I am adoring this album. I tentatively want to say that I love it so much that it is overwhelming all the love I have for the other albums just now Maybe that is early album fever - idk, but I never once had this feeling for TR or T2L on their release.

[serpentsatellite]

I can absolutely say my feelings for this album far outstrip what I felt for TR and T2L (probably combined) upon their release.
