New Born Lee Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 On my first couple of listens through I would look back at the tracklist and forget what this song sounded like. That says it all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I mean... It's a lot better than Get Up And Fight, and Thought Contagion. I'd probably rank it fifth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 You think Reapers is the best song on Drones...so....yeah. as do many others this has melodies and beats ripped off from tracks they think are too far back in their discography for fans to bother listening to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel_Tufnel Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I feel like I missed some inside joke in these last 2 posts but somehow I still found them very funny. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tocaraca Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Awesome song. Not my favorite but damn that guitar solo. Everything about this song is good IMO, especially the intro when the guitar comes in (which is the same in the first post-chorus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearAndPanic Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 especially the intro when the guitar comes in (which is the same in the first post-chorus). Similar but different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysfunco Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I personally hear some traces of MK Ultra and Uprising in Blockades. Verses have some vocal melody similarities with MK Ultra, although its perhaps a bit subtle, and the word "raze" in the chorus sounds very similar in tone to Uprisings "degrading".. Wouldn't call it very similar overall though. I wish they could've done something with the choruses though, especially the last one. Changing drum pattern or whatever. It just get slightly too repetitive and boring, you kind of wait for something to happen. I like when a song go somewhere else further down the line -- like Dead Inside or The Handler to mention two more recent examples. Simulation Theory has a few too many cases of un-imaginative song structures, with a third more or less identical chorus at the end. Algoritm has a very cool, tasteful and effectful structure though, that continues to build up and develop from the beginning to the end -- without repeating itself more than necessary. One of the better songs overall though, for sure. It has the tone I overall miss elsewhere on the album (thankfully also present in Algoritm, my absolute favourite, as well as The Dark Side and The Void).

Hopix Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I've decided this is a good track simply because of dat drum fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I like how the music video is like an AMV of their own album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen_Eraser Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 as do many others this has melodies and beats ripped off from tracks they think are too far back in their discography for fans to bother listening to Oh I noticed all of them on the first listen but it doesn't matter to me. It's the exact type of sound I got into Muse for. It's them when they're their most original. Even if they're ripping themselves off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 This song will be played every night, closing the pre-medley set with an extended Bliss outro-solo cum big rock ending, or I'm dropping this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I'm hopeful it won't be like MK Ultra, where I rate it as near the top of album favourites then it never gets played. Though I do rate its chances to at least be played once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 This song is excellent. Just realized I wasn't paying much attention to it on first listens, but I'll put it on par with City Of Delusion now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
