Alexander DeLarge Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 So true, they keep producing just about enough great material per album to keep me hooked. Although frankly my pessimism has grown to the point where I'm no longer thinking "so psyched for the new Muse album!!!" so much as "so psyched for the 2-3 great songs on the new Muse album!!!". That's the same way I think about the albums too. Luckily even T2L/The Resistance had a couple tracks that kept me interested, TR to a lesser extent since I only really enjoyed MK Ultra and USoE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think calling any of the songs off Drones shit is a bit excessive. I'd vote for the title track lyrically to be honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn. Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Of the last two albums, the main single and the cheese was bad, aka Madness/Mercy & Big Freeze/Aftermath, other than that is ok, with some really brilliant songs. If they continue with that patern, in the next album i'm going to hate the main single and the cheese, again. But they need to attract more casuals to earn some money, so is fine.

FabriPav Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think calling any of the songs off Drones shit is a bit excessive. Yep. There's nothing bad on the album, just a bunch of songs that should've been left in the oven a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyjackk Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Ah cheers, thought so! Just trying to think of everything they've done which isn't in 4/4... Take A Bow, Falling Down, Blackout, Exogenesis and RBS in 3/4, not a particularly 'out there' signature but ah well. Animals and the outro of Agitated in 5/4. Assassin and Micro Cuts with changes to 6/4. Outro to Cave? Not listened for a while but is there a 5/4 change in there somewhere? Might have missed a few. Some experimentation with odd time signatures would be great on a future album, they've definitely got the technical ability. God I'd like to hear more stuff like Take a Bow. I love it when Muse get all theoretical with their composing - not that they've done it much granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Tbh I wouldn't rate any of the songs below 6 out of 10, and there's only one song that I'd rate that low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm not a fan of Revolt or Aftermath - especially the latter - but I like the rest on some level at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Just me that quite likes Aftermath then? I think it's better than the other songs of that type they've been doing for the last few albums anyway, and I think it fits nicely before The Globalist somehow.

Hat Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Aftermath is pretty nice up until the horrific chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picko Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Great: Dead Inside, Reapers, The Handler Good: Psycho, Mercy, Defector OK: Aftermath, The Globalist (first verse and heavy part is great, rest is meh) Crap: Revolt, Drones One thing people seem to agree on so far is the best songs on the album.

JimmyP117 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Can we also agree that it's some of Chris best bass work in a long time. Agreed. There's some fantastic bass playing across the album, Reapers, The Handler and The Globalist being the standouts. I dislike the song but the fills in Aftermath are lovely.

Robinho Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm fucking done. This was the most disappointing show I've ever seen. 12 fucking songs, barely playing over an hour... Dropping IS, The Handler, the Resistance/MotP/CE/whatever rotation, even fucking Drones was skipped after TG. Matt struggled even with stuff like the Madness falsetto's and DI's ending sounded like shit. The band looked as if they were here to grab some quick cash and get the fuck out as quick as possible. 12 songs is pathetic. But hey, at least Resistance wasn't played so that's something... So. Got that out of my system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
