Clunge Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 It's basically just a mash up of Undisclosed Desires, Dead Inside and The Handler. No bad thing. They should call the album Drones 2 just to troll this place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudia O Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Yes, and on a car, instead of a Mercedes star. I saw a screenshot. Thinking about it, the Mercy video was at an organisation! you could be right, and I think the video will be continued, like the ones from ST maybe?

Come to think of it, that Drones 2 comment might not be far off regarding the music videos. I think it's safe to say the videos are going to be worth following!

Think it's a safe assumption that it'll be the album title for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering why a cult with a name would wear a jacket with a monogram that doesn't spell their cult's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 based on the wildly mixed reviews, i'm tempted not to listen to this until the album comes out. what i don't want is four singles before a probable mid-summer album release that contains only, say, 10-11 tracks...

I think he'll for sure do the screams on WSD live. Btw I've seen you around here for a while but just now caught the TMV reference in your name. Duh! One of my all time favorite songs by them. Absolute banger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DublinNeil Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Good song, not a great song, but still miles better than most of what they're released of the last 10/15 years. A nice return to proper heavy riffs, although the verses are crap imo. Just a means to an end really. I'll approach the album with caution given the last few but this is promising and will be excellent live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I'm glad my screen name reminded you of them but I'm afraid that's not the reference I was going for, lol. I've never tried TMV, what should I check out?

altbecky Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I like it. As always with Muse it is going to be better live than on recording. Looking forward to this era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlugInYorkie Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 It’s also really nice to see some old names back in here! I refused to ever go the reddit or Facebook group route. This single gives me some hope we might get what they tried and failed to do with Drones, except with a producer they enjoy working with and after doing Origin XX they are well and truly out of that Ready Player 1/Tron/Blade Runner phase.

It's the definitive Mars Volta album and by far the most succinct and spectacular. All their albums have their moments, and I'd definitely recommend giving Frances and Goliath a go, but start with De-Loused. If you don't like De-Loused – TMV at their most focused – you'll find their other albums more difficult. I'd go so far as to say De-Loused is the best full-on prog album of this century so far.

Tbh, Drones gives me more consistent enjoyment of any Muse album since Absolution. In album order context, the run through to Aftermath is great (excluding Aftermath which is where the wheels firmly come off. The Globalist is just cack). I still unashamedly love Revolt. But Dead Inside, Reapers and Handler are A++ Muse, and there are fewer moments of A++ Muse on any of their other albums since Absolution. Maybe BH&R for Take A Bow, Map and City of Delusion.

Timbo59 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The chorus is so catchy. Also agree with those who said the bridge is very Stephen Carpenter style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On further listens I quite enjoy it. now a nice run of the likes of hysteria - psycho - Uprising - WSD - SS - reapers - Assassin live pls editing to add my favourite which I can’t believe I forgot - the handler ❤️ Edited January 14, 2022 by HannahG123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howardm93 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Had a couple more listens this morning and I still think it a banger. I appreciate the outro to the song. They could have quite easily finished it after the final chorus but stretching it out for that extra 20 ish seconds of riffage gives it so much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runecarlsen@me.com Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) What do I feel about WSD? My first thought is that Im usually more excited when the first single of a new album is released. Dont get me wrong - I do like the song. But its something about the sound that is a bit noisy if you get what I mean? And Im not talking about that its heavy, not at all. But I would prefer a "cleaner" sound. They had a simular disturbing sound in the verse of the song Revolt from Drones. With that said, I believe the song will grow on me. And Im really looking forward to the full album. Let there be no doubt about that. Thoughts anyone? Edited January 15, 2022 by runecarlsen@me.com Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
