Drones Album Discussion Thread

[AdamCee]

Can someone explain what've happened recently?

 

The Handler streamed on Spotify and is on YouTube

[MuseMarc]

IDK. I seem to be one of the only people on here that genuinely thinks TR was a good album

 

nope you are not

[CatchHellBlues]

nope you are not

 

Good

[diamond_writer]

lol my best friend who supposedly lost all faith in Muse since the last two albums came out has said that every song from this album is ok at best

Why are they your friend

TR was very good, I think. It shares 3-4 place in my list with Abso.

And I have a feeling that Drones will be up there with them. But I hope that it will be even higher

[Phil2211]

Was very sceptical a few months ago but seems this album may actually deliver. I'm not expecting OOS/ Abso levels of greatness but so far im the tone has been suitably dark (more in keeping with "old" muse), the guitar work and vocals are probably the best we've heard from matt in a long time but they've managed to balance it right so it's still accessible to the more casual fan. If this is Mutt's work then I hope they stick with him for a while longer. Well impressed

we bonded over The Mars Volta 7 years ago and he thought Muse was amazing back then before they "ruined their career" ): i've been trying to evangelize him since

Drones will come 5th for me I think.

[Matt]

Love Reapers and The Handler. I was just thinking the other day that whilst I have enjoyed all the muse albums I hadn't heard anything that gave me the goosebumps when hearing oos and absolution for the first time. Finally happened again with these two beauties.

With Showbiz and T2L below, right?

[MuseMarc]

Drones will come 5th for me I think.

 

for me it comes after OOS/Abso/Bh&R sometimes changing places with showbiz.

T2l is on the last place

 

now I am really looking forward for drones anyway so secretly it is the momentary number 1

[CatchHellBlues]

With Showbiz and T2L below, right?

 

Yes

[uneety]

Yes

Oh well, I have more faith in this album

[Hazzr]

think this album could be really good as long as defector, revolt, aftermath and the globalist deliver. At this point reapers and the handler are both definitely not tracks I would skip along with possibly dead inside, so if the remaining songs excluding drones (acapella sounds meh to me) this could easily have 6/7 solid songs that i would choose to listen to which would put it up there with abso,oos and bhar for me in terms of being a good album of solid lasting tracks.

[Peter.]

lol. so yeah,

 

might as well post it here too.

 

WAS IT THAT FUCKING HARD MUSE, releasing a song that's actually GOOD? didn't think so. more songs like this please. hell yes.

[CatchHellBlues]

Going to avoid listening to The Handler until release day because I don't want to spoil myself too much beforehand. This is going to be so hard.

 

Good man!

 

I've also abstained.

[topo_musero]

Okey, I'm not trying to ruin the vibe, but with the first part of the album out there (and it's very, very solid), I'm afraid of the Defector-Revolt-Aftermath part. Because this part is when the protagonist of the album defect, and I think it could be very light in tone. Not that I dislike lighter songs, only that Matt is overly-cheesy sometimes and it would be a shame, because this album is shaping out to be amazing.

[CatchHellBlues]

I'm in the mood for Tom Hardy again, going to watch Locke while this thread is a bit dead

[TheMuseSmurf]

tha what?

 

someone edited the lyrics with some Belldom.

[Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out]

Good man!

 

I've also abstained.

 

Me three! (This will be hard, but done correctly I get MuseDrones, my first (and probably last) Rush concert, and my family vacation on the same week, so I'm holding off till June 8th/9th whenever)

[k024er7]

Ok, now The Handler is out...what are the chances of the thing leaking tomorrow?

[Arcanom]

I just purchased the full album from muse store. wonder when they will deliver me the download links

This.

imo the defector-revolt-aftermath part will make or break this album, a segment of light tone and cheesy lyrics will kill the album completely, think it deffo needs to be dark/heavy to succeed

[EdBuck]

Good man!

 

I've also abstained.

 

how even!? I caved in

[Dillyracer]

Regardless of the quality of the music, this is the best flowing album since OoS so far imo.
