Muse

[Rose-Colored Boy]

You forgot Assassin.

[FloorFiller]

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???

but it was track 9 on the album, and so therefor came later... maybe

although Knights Of Cydonia came after that and to write that off would be foolish

[rawaudioinput]

Just listened to the new album in full and it's like bad AC/DC being sung by a cartoon super-villain

[LondonTom]

I don't think its as bad its made out here, certaintly nothing better than what was already released....but I think they all work in the context of the album and listening in order/together even Dead Inside fits.

Then you get to Revolt, and I can see why people hate it. I am not entirely sure I do and I feel bad about it as , the lyrics are amongst Muse's worse and its like they thought they need to pay tribute to the Killers! Odd! Really Odd!

Aftermath was entirely forgetable I think, just a bit all around meh.

Globalist, I liked the first two parts...then that third part, it was like they had given up bothering.

Drones: Worse thing Matt has ever done, I thought people were slightly exgerating about but nope complete shite.

I'd maybe put it ahead of the Resistance overall, cause I think I liked what they was trying up to Revolt and Mercy/Pyscho/Reapers are decent songs but I can't see it growing on me like The 2nd Law did (which I have above Resistance).

It won't put me off seeing them on tour

[bennyhana22]

The Second Law is not a great album (though overall better than The Resistance) but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy some of T2L songs live when I saw them twice touring the record...Supremacy was a cracking opener...

I'll see them on tour, even though the majority of stuff they'll play will be off the last 3 albums which I don't like + Starlight.

nah they know T2L and The Resistance is shit

Animals seems to stick around and Madness has been played now and then but nothing else off T2L

Uprising is a staple and Resistance is played now and then but that's it off TR

They're playing more off the older albums, Apocalypse Please has become a staple

[RichieSpenno]

I quite like Defector now.

Revolt is still terrible, as is Drones.

The released tracks are ok in my opinion. The rest is just meh.

[cdm22]

I saw Muse perform Mercy on the Graham Norton show last week and if that is one of the best tracks on the album then the album must be terrible! It really was middle of the road dross. What has happened to them?!

[willutalk]

Muse should go to a service inwhich Barack Obama and some other US politicians are attending and sing Drones!! Just to see the reaction.

[dentalplan]

So Drones is a rebel anthem, huh?

[Matt42]

Listened to this album again

Still bad. 0/10. Probably the worst album any of my favourite band has ever produced.

I don't like a single track, this is just sooooooo bad

[willutalk]

I think its a subtle one at that.

The whole album is really against the modern suffocating US government isn't it.

Dude you're really digging into it aren't you.

I've decided half of the tracks I thoroughly enjoy!

It might be. Seems quite vague...

[Stokesy10]

I'm a big Muse fan, but haven't listened to this album yet. Massively apprehensive about doing so. Think I'll wait till the weekend when the Mrs is out and sink a few beers and listen to it. Really didn't like Psycho on radio at all but quite enjoyed Dead Inside. Got a bad feeling about it and it's had some stinking reviews from fans, not just on here!

[CHRLY]

Psycho grows on me with every listen

[Porcelina]

Gave chunks a relisten and Mercy is a solid lead single with those Queen vibes, whilst The Handler has the right balance of abrasiveness. Revolt has its moments too.

The rest is worse than my low expectations feared. A floundering mess of a record.

[The Placid Casual]

Revolt's so bad that I love it. Got it on repeat.

[Matt42]

I just hate it so much, it's awful.

I'm not just being a hater, Muse are one of the best bands i've ever seen live and this album just feels like a massive joke that i'm not getting the punchline of. Is it deliberately meant to be this cringey and bad?

[The Placid Casual]

Psycho grows on me with every listen

I like Psycho, as well as Reapers and The Handler. After that, it's all pretty meh.

After a few listens, it's not as bad as The 2nd Law.

[The Placid Casual]

Drones though, what the actual?

I really like it and I consider myself a big fan. But then I'll get told in not a real fan because I think showbiz is boring for about half the album and really don't see what origin of symmetry does to elevate it to such revered status above absolution (though the songs remind me of some very good times live on the 04-07 time period especially Wembley).

I'm also a conspiracy nut so this album resonates with me a bit! Though I have my suspicions about his Hollywood experience heavily influencing it!

I get the same but with BHAR, my least favourite album except for TR. People will probably bite my head off for Saying this but Map of the Problematique is the only song from that album that makes me want to listen To that album. The songs that everyone seems to love off that don't do much for me (Take a Bow and Assassin).
