GrandOmegaBoss Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 This is a thread for general discussion about the Lyric vids from this album, cos I think they are a prominent enough element of this album that they deserve a thread. Anyways, to start things off I think these videos could have been a great opportunity to make a visual version of the narrative with a protagonist who appears in all the videos living the events of the songs. Just my opinion, anyone else got anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiem1394 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 As I've said in other threads, my favorite thing about this is the prospect of being able to make a full YouTube playlist with the entire album and then Chromecast it to my TV. Would be a cool way to listen to the album while cleaning, reading, etc and also get some cool visuals. The best one, I'd say, is Mercy. Not my favorite song, but the video is really cool. I also quite like Reapers and Defector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hopefully the rest of the videos come out soon so when I get to hear the CD I can try and sync it up with the videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think it's a great way to distribute the new album. Most casual music listeners get their music from YouTube anyhow, so this ensures that other parts of the album aren't missed. And I think they're better than most of the regular Muse videos. I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest. My order so far: The Handler > Defector (the JFK bit really makes an impact in the video) > Reapers > Mercy > Psycho >Dead Inside I still love Dead Inside's lyric video much more than the official video.

Archer29 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think they will go up to Aftermath to complete the main concept, My personal favourite video is The Handler, though my favourite song is Reapers. I prefer the lyric videos to the actual music videos. I hope we see more in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I wish DI's video was the band shots in the real video, with the lyrics, and maybe just some more drones flying around or something. Not big on the dance. At all. And I can never watch the other one anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Neither of the DI videos seemed to really capture anything profound. There's a few drones scattered in there for the album theme, but the rest is the dancing/model, and that's kinda weak overall. I guess you could interpret the dancing but it's still not my thing. I still don't get the lyric video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The Handler video is by far my favourite. I just love everything about it. The text, the band, the weird carousel thing above them, with The Handler controlling it and everything that evolves around it, and the "greater" Handler once the "lesser" one dies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolutioner Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Defector has the coolest one imo. I love the whole aesthetic, plus JFK works really well with the actual speech on screen. Matt looks really noticeably short in it though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
