RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Don't think I've ever heard a single note of this band. Hahaha! I love you J! Every note is the same. Kenny G going pseudo prog pop lite crap shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 They were good and now they are a sell out pop band of shit. JMO Man, truth is they were always by in large pop shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Don't think I've ever heard a single note of this band. Overrated, but enjoyable. Pretty soulless prog pop, but lots of great songs! You hit the nail on the head right here... This band is a constant struggle for me -- finding out just how much I actually like/dislike them... Holy shit! I just stumbled on the same post!!! NAILED!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shail Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The tune reapers they totally rip off the Whitesnake riff. Still Of The Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shail Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hey don't get me wrong. Great powerful riff and love it. They put their own twist on it. I like the tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Just gave a listen to "Still of the Night", I get the part you guys are talking about (it's the prechorus of both songs it looks like) and hear it but... The riffs are totally different. Rhythm, note count, the notes themselves (and I have a poor musical ear so the fact that I can notice this difference says something), and overall feel.

The K Man Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Don't think I've ever heard a single note of this band. Overrated, but enjoyable. Pretty soulless prog pop, but lots of great songs! I see... I think if I want prog pop, I can stick to Supertramp. ;) Muse are good...but they are treated like Gods in the UK, although oddly enough a lot of the more honest critics rightly give them mixed reviews. Critics suck. Muse is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Odd I never found this thread before. I'm a huge Muse fan and I got sooooooo psyched for Drones when it was announced, then stayed that way all the way till I got it a few days before its release thanks to my awesome local record store. I love this new record, and against popular opinion my favorite song seems to be a toss up between Reapers and (wait for it) Revolt (I'm a big Queen fan). This album is amazing though and will probably sit very nicely as my third favorite Muse record if it doesn't start growing on me even more in an attempt to dethrone the immortal Origin Of Symmetry and the pristinely perfect The Resistance.I am happy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I like the new album quite a bit, although it can't top the Big 3 of OoS, Absolution and Black Holes; those are three stellar records in a row. But yeah, I like Drones a lot (although I am not wild about Psycho). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 "Defector" (preferably along with the [JFK] intro) is the best song they've put out since "Plug In Baby"... IOW: Defector is their second best song. Other songs which are great to the point where I can't ignore this band despite them being in bulk lame prog pop are:Small Print, Thoughts of a Dying Atheist, Hysteria, Knights of Cydonia, Bliss, Hyper Music, Citizen Erased, Starlight, Reapers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of Muse as a prog pop band with two undeniably great albums: Absolution and Black Holes And Revelations. I also really liked The 2nd Law, which had an experimental nature that completely took be by surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanne Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I love Absolution. I plan on buying this sometime this weekend. I like 'Psycho' and the radio here is already overplaying 'Dead inside'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Haven't listened to the whole album yet, though reception hasn't been overly kind. I just doubt they'll ever recapture the glory of OoS and Black Holes. Absolution and Resistance are also good for the most part with some absolute trash (Undisclosed Desires) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furie Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I must say I'm really enjoying Drones. It's my favorite album of 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I can't say it is my favorite album of the year, but I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) So I am enjoying it. I don't think it is better than the previous 4 albums (I am not a huge Origin fan to be honest I got into them with Absolution) but it has some great Muse moments/tunes. A solid effort from 3 great musicians. Looking forward to the tour. That is where this band shines for me. Edited July 13, 2015 by Todem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturalHemisphereGarden Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I am not really a fan of Psycho, Revolt, and the title track of the new album, but I am definitely really enjoying the album overall. It's less electronic and more rock-oriented than T2L, but it still feels more like The Resistance 2 than a return to their early style. Mercy, Reapers, The Handler, and The Globalist are the highlights, and they are great. I think this is my favorite 2015 album so far.

The Analog Cub Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Been giving this album a listen, and I gotta say it's not bad. Reapers and The Handler are some of the best stuff they've written in a very long time. Need more time to let it sink in, particularly the 10 minute epic The Globalist, but at the moment I can definitely say it's better than The 2nd Law, but need a lot more time before I can say it's as good as Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, Black Holes, or even Resistance.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 My fav muse albums in order (DRONES still might move up, as I am simply adoring it as of lately) The ResistanceOrigin Of SymmetryDRONESAbsolution/Black Holes & RevelationsThe 2nd LawShowbiz So much great stuff on the new album. Revolt is actually my second favorite song off of it; it's soooooooo eighties mainstream rock in the best possible way. Reapers tops it for me though. That's one of the greatest guitar solos of the 21st century for absolute sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
