Museings Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Well it is, after all, European history. If you asked the average European about the civil war in the US or the Pacific war I don't think they'd be able to say much beyond "slavery vs abolitionists" and "Pearl Harbor". American HIstory is actually fascinating, American culture has so pervaded society thats its hard not to be interested (and horrified once you open enough books). Most of us know that the North wanted to nullify the Souths industrial advantages, and abolition fitted that bill. Likewise, Pearl Harbour isnt the first thing that springs to mind at all, its the US military forcing Japan to buy their oil that precipitated Japanese OTTP retaliation that we learn about. I do think sometimes euros do know more about your country than you do, because Americans, like many countries do, prefer to paint themselves as heroes historically ...but not always obviously. Amazing country though, in history terms, thanks for giving us it. Edited December 3, 2018 by Museings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozza Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 First 5 are decent, as are Blockades and The Void Somehow it's better than Drones, T2L and The Resistance but I can't explain shy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Certainly, its above Resistance. Not sure where I place it in comparison with T2L/Drones though... maybe I'll re-assess a year from now or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen_Eraser Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 After the dust has settled The Handler is still the best song off the last 4 albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Born Lee Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I find it hard to decide between Redemption, The Handler and Break It To Me. I honestly can't much fault Reapers either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim59 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I find Reapers quite unlistenable, sadly. The verses are so boring. The production throughout is weird. The solo is annoying until the last bit. The outro is underwhelming. The Handler is great but the bridge could have more going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 After the dust has settled The Handler is still the most overrated song off the last 4 albums. Yep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) After a month, I decided that if it wasn't for GUAF and TC (and Blockades, which I find good overall, but still a "Muse-by-number" track), I'd give this album a full 9/9,5, instead it's just a sort of 8. It's better than the last three albums mainly because there are a lot of great songs that neatly balance those two (three) ones out. Yep Agree, Reapers is better for me.

Nigel_Tufnel Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 After the dust has settled The Handler is still the best song off the last 4 albums. Agreed. Not even sure what I would pick as a close second, to be honest. Certainly nothing off the new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozza Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Their best 5 songs since BHAR: Exogenesis: Overture Animals The Handler Dead Inside The Dark Side For me: Animals MK Ultra Overture The Handler Reapers Edited December 4, 2018 by Mozza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Wow y’all realy kept this Overture love quiet huh I mean, it’s good but it’s only just in my top 5 for TR, let alone the last 4 albums (feels mad to say we’re that many away from BH&R now btw ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel_Tufnel Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I'm not a big fan of ranking songs because I like different ones for different reasons but just to join in the fun... The Handler Unnatural Selection Supremacy Animals Dead Inside Honorable mention to Uprising (overplayed but I still enjoy it) The Dark Side (if my arm is twisted for a new one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odier Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Eh, is Overture better than Redemption? For now my top 5 are Reapers Break It To Me The Handler Redemption Algorithm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Best five since BH&R: Dead Inside Break It To Me MK Ultra Reapers The Handler I always forget how high the highs on Drones are for me. Dead Inside is legit top five Muse songs material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel_Tufnel Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I always forget how high the highs on Drones are for me. That's the way I feel too. The first half of Drones is mostly pretty top notch but it kinda falls off a cliff after The Handler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 From the last four albums? Let's see... In no particular order Animals The Handler Break it to Me The Dark Side Overture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozza Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Best five since BH&R: Dead Inside Break It To Me MK Ultra Reapers The Handler I always forget how high the highs on Drones are for me. Dead Inside is legit top five Muse songs material. When I first heard it I couldn't imagine that Dead Inside would be one of the songs I'd really want to stick around after the Drones tour.

jonisdead Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I predict in a few years time there's going to be more clamor for fan favorite tracks on Drones over Simulation Theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
