Jimmyneutron Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Meta critic says 84 so far. Highest for any other muse album is 75 on BH&R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyeMaze Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Wow, how many reviews? Just 4 reviews on metacritic. But if you count all from first post right now it drops 1 percent below BHAR. So who knows which album will be "better" when more reviews will be published Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 That Guardian review is absolutely spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 It'll land somewhere between 70-75 would be my bet once all reviews are in. My guess is 80. Pitchfork is gonna definitely aim to bring that down, I don't know if The Needle Drop gets counted in that aggregate but if so then that probably will too.

kueller Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Fantano will give it a 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topo_musero Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Fantano will give it a 1. Yep, he despise everything Muse has done lately... And I think that he didn't like Psycho, and he said it's one of their worst songs :LOL:. So, if that counts in the Drones metascore... We can assume that Pitchfork will rate it bad too... I don't think it will surpass BH&R, a 70 will be my bet, even if it's obviously way better than T2L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 It seems that most reviews are criticising the lack of focus in the final few tracks. No surprise there, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Fantano will give it a 1. I actually don't know. He tweeted out the Defector video so there's at least one song he likes on it. He'll rate it higher than T2L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark_ Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) My guess is 80. Pitchfork is gonna definitely aim to bring that down, I don't know if The Needle Drop gets counted in that aggregate but if so then that probably will too. Worth remembering that TR got a 5.9 from Pitchfork. In fact I thought both their TR and T2L reviews were pretty fair. The City Blog review there is very good, btw. http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/shortlist-album-reviews-muse-major-lazer-ben-salter-cosmic-psychos-immigrant-union-20150603-ghdwez.html By The Sydney Morning Herald.

topo_musero Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 tl;dr of what Kerrang says? They call it a classic, literally: "a claustrophobic classic that sharpens the focus of what is possible in the name of high-minded rock" . They said its music is pitched between high entertainment and psychological warfare. They mention Pink Floyd's The Wall saying: "not since The Wall has a stadium rock album being quite as grandly troubled", for it being pessimistic. Basically, they loved it :LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGeorge Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/67307/Muse-Drones/ 4/5 from Sputnik. No way! I was expecting lower. Sputnik is usually pretty spot on with their reviews, their Muse ones I generally agree with as well(except I think Resistance is way better than 2nd Law) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurkinglurkerlurksagain Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Looking forward to ARTV's and Spectrum Pulse's reviews. Especially the latter. He doesn't ever cop out in his reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
