Tesseract Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yeah because namechecking two models surely is enough. So people are complaining that the lyrics are too vague now, after complaining they're too direct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_of_cydonia Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 The Independent - 4/5 and 4/5 from the telegraph as well http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/11649952/Muse-Drones-review-more-than-a-little-Spinal-Tap.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattestro Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 So is this album is getting much more initial positive reviews than t2l? Reapers and hawks are pretty specific things th0 I still think Reapers and Horsemen sounds better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 So people are complaining that the lyrics are too vague now, after complaining they're too direct? Sounds about right tbf. Incidentally, Royal Blood? Glam rock? Wut? I still think Reapers and Horsemen sounds better I change lyrics when singing along all the time, and that's usually one variation.

lurkinglurkerlurksagain Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Here, the ARTV review. He give a 4.5/5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqgJlzuBz7I. But I'm not a fan of his review :LOL: Thanks! I like ARTV, but I'm really anticipating Spectrum Pulse's review. He'll do a text review that's basically the video script on his blog, then post a video on Youtube. Needledrop's okay, but he doesn't go as in depth as I'd like. Edit: Sorry, the way I worded it, it sounds like the needledrop review is out. It's not. As far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unidentifiable Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm waiting (patiently) for the Allmusic review, they tend to be spot-on about the relative quality of albums, and they're usually quite good with their "track picks" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I find Allmusic to be the most trustworthy with reviews personally as they do not cater to a specific "scene(term used loosely)". However I do tend to disagree with then when it comes to Muse most of the time although I don't really need their help to make my own personal opinion of the album.

topo_musero Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Digital Spy gave the album a 4/5, calling it the best Muse album in a decade (I agree ). http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/review/a651310/muses-drones-reviewed-easily-their-best-album-in-a-decade.html?utm_source=twt&utm_medium=snets&utm_campaign=twitter#~peSr8SqOsoCukk I'm very surprised that we don't have almost any negative reviews.

Yeah, it's hard to chose which is worse... I think Coldplay lost it after Viva la Vida, which I think it's actually a good record. But, hey, Drones is collecting great reviews.

Strangeseas Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I know Fantano retweeted Defector, but I have a feeling he's gonna rip this album to pieces It will probably a pretty fair review. He knows what Muse is and how to judge what they do. And I always felt that he has a soft spot for some Muse magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unidentifiable Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I know Fantano retweeted Defector, but I have a feeling he's gonna rip this album to pieces Regarding T2L he particularly disliked the last four tracks, where there's pretty much no Matt Bellamy vocals. I think he'll like this one more, and there's definitely more "flow". I'm guessing strong 6 to light 7? And there might be some issues with Pitchfork, but this little bit from the BH&R review: three dudes advancing a vision of rock music that operates on three fundamental assumptions: 1) distortion is always better than no distortion; 2) every measure of music should contain at least one drum fill; and 3) the future will be dominated by robots. Muse leave no room for compromise on these points. is one of the most fun things I've ever read in a music review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
