Like I said before, expecting all this to be officially confirmed/announced today then, with it all being leaked together. Exciting, got a good vibe about TDS.

 

Also y’all should know judging song quality by a title is a moderate bonehead move

Yeah I'm only judging the ones we have some sort of descriptions of.

Edit: Calling it now: "Get Up and Fight" will be the worst song on the album and one of Muse's worst ever. With a title like that I don't even know how it could be good.

 

? :chuckle:

I thought Mercy and Revolt were going to be the heaviest tracks on Drones.

 

The tracklist, if that is the order, makes sense to me when thinking of the videos for each song leading into the next. I'm sure Matt also said they want to make videos for every song on the album which would be cool.

Amazon.it have posted the tracklist for the Delux version of the album

 

1. Algorithm

2. The Dark Side

3. Pressure

4. Propaganda

5. Break it to Me

6. Something Human

7. Thought Contagion

8. Get Up and Fight

9. Blockades

10. Dig Down

11. The Void

12. Algorithm (Alternate Reality Version)

13. The Dark Side (Alternate Reality Version)

14. Propaganda (Acoustic Version)

15. Something Human (Acoustic Version)

16. Dig Down (Acoustic Gospel Version)

 

If true, those moaning about having to sit through the first 4/5 tracks to get to the new songs can relax.

The lyrics: Seems a bit... Plain, to me. Though I hope my opinion will change when they're presented in the song. They're much better than the 'leaked' ones.

 

As for that tracklist, the reddit user was apparently giving a warning by the sub mods. If true, that could mean he was either warned for being a genuine leaker or because he's full of so much bullshit a warn was necessary.

Also, is there any chance this is supposed to be an album with a narrative?

 

I kinda got that vibe before but looking at the art with all the different characters, a few that we've seen in the music videos, it seems more likely than not.

 

Not that I have any clue what that narrative could possibly be. Matt turns into a werewolf because of a thought contagion and Dom and Chris have to go save him? and Get Up And Fight, Dig Down, don't succumb to The Dark Side?

80s film covers didn’t look anything like that though.

 

Posters, advertisements etc of the time were similar in style.

 

Blade Runner (A film referenced by Matt as inspiration for this album) Poster - http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/05/blade-runner_poster.jpg

 

Empire Strikes Back Poster - http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/05/empire_poster.jpg

 

Star Trek II - http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/05/Star-Trek-2_wrath-of-khan-poster.jpg

 

There was an IG image a while back of Matt and Dom looking at a book of VHS video cover art so it's pretty clear imo the vibe they were going for.

I’d say it’s clear they went for the modern synthwave style rather than actual 80s movies. The colour scheme is a huge hint. But if you just mean using drawn faces for the cover, yeah I guess.

 

Also 2

 

Would this be the first time the band members have appeared on the cover of a studio album?

Well there are only seven covers to check.

Was gonna say the same; it reminds me alot of Empire Strikes Back poster. Or just any SW poster in general.
