Muse

[FuzzyDunlop]

Drones must be one of the worst songs ever. Imagine somebody saying they enjoyed it. Suppose it only really serves as an outro though so I can't see it coming up much.

Listening to the album whilst the match is on.. not the best, I'll say that.

Drones isn't great, but fuck me. Revolt?! Revolt is one of the worst songs I have ever heard.

Reapers is good.

Revolt?! That is taking the piss.

I actually try to avoid finding out opinions on albums I'm excited about, however I probably wouldn't join an album discussion group then moan about spoilers. I wouldn't join a Facebook group for an album at all actually.

Do people actually consider guitar, bass and drums as the "classic sound"? There have been plenty of pianos/organs/synths on albums since day one.

More of a classic sound as in no electro elements like they've had on the past two albums was more what I meant.

Can't wait for Download! Saturday will be immense \m/

I'm raving over this album, no joke.

and me, I love it.

I must have different ears to everyone on here. Saw the new Prodigy album getting slagged on the thread on here, then absolutely loved it when I heard it.

Now loads are saying that the new Muse is shit and it's blasting away on my ipod and I'm loving it.

I suppose we've all got different tastes, no point trying to get an opinion on the new Prodigy or Muse album off someone who's looking forward to Alt J and bemoaning the fact that Taylor Swift isn't headlining.

Loved Muse's earlier work. Absolution is, in my opinion, one of the finest albums ever made by any band. However I've just not been able to stomach anything after BHAR. Heard Mercy for the first time on the radio earlier and hated it, sounded like Starlight crossed with the worst parts of the last three albums.

Check out the Muse section on reddit. There are genuinely quite a few people who do, some who even listen to it on its own!

Liked everything up to and including BHAR. Started to go downhill with The Resistance before the disaster that was 2nd Law.

Think the new album is a return to form though.

[shoptildrop]

Not hear the new album yet but been a split love in on singles released so far, I absolutely loved 2nd Law whilst so many hated it I thought it was amazing live...my fav album is Absolution by a mile although singles from origins and black holes are fab

I would love to be at DL next Saturday as the combination of Faith No More AND Muse is just fantastic but I just can't get the time to go there and too close to Glastonbury I'm totally guttered

You know what I love 2nd Law, thought songs off that album were great live

[CHRLY]

Drones is the best/worst album of all time.

Yes, but these also the same Muse fans that liked The 2nd Law and The Resistance

Anyway the best Muse album has got to be Origin of Symmetry

[Rose-Colored Boy]

It's plain to see they're having a laugh with this and it works brilliantly. Headliners in 2016 please.

[Hugh Jass]

Looking forward to the Pitchfork review - their review of T2L summed it up pretty well:

The Quietus review of The 2nd Law was brilliant too.

Just had an email from Bellerz telling me the album is out, adding “To me, 'Drones' are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behaviour with no recourse. The world is run by Drones utilizing Drones to turn us all into Drones. This album explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors."

Oh.... I thought it was about boring people. Or bees.

Going be intresting listening to Drones after reading all these comments!

I got carried away after Reapers came out and pre-ordered, this may have been a mistake.

I've not listened yet, as when I am actually getting the physical copy I like to have it before I listen and my neighbours "kindly" acepeted the package saturday morning but haven't been home since~ >_>

I'm sure I've read that description before, a while ago. Was on the album announcement on the website or something, wasn't it?

I almost did that, too. Glad I didn't now, actually. Although I kind of want to own it for completion's sake.

[Porcelina]

This is absymal, I enjoyed T2L.

I dunno. It's the first time I've seen it, so it seemed weird to see this in my inbox.

[dentalplan]

I am surprised those preordering based on Reapers aren't pleased with it. That's one of the worst ones.

This is a lol, I only listened to T2L once and don't even remember it. Edited June 8, 2015 by Zac Quinn

Unfortunately, take Mercy and The Handler out of this one and it's much the same. Had their day it seems.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Drones is hand on heart their best song since City of Delusion IMO.

[Gucci Piggy]

How can that sentence make sense when City of Delusion came out at the same time as Map of the Problematique and Take a Bow???
