From the Muse Website: My guess is that the two in brackets are quote interludes, based on the Instagram video they shared some time ago.
So fucking excited for this. I've been loving the snippets, and the concept sounds great. I have high expectations for Drones. New song tomorrow-can't wait!
I can't say I'm impressed. It's groovy and fun but it doesn't leave a mark, doesn't really feel new or exciting. Might get better with time. Cookies for a 6 minute profanity filled song as the first promotional single. Good job.
The lyrics of this song makes me cringe(worse than most of Meteora). "Your ass belongs to me now" What the fuck happened? If this is really how they are going to tackle the concept of the record, then I am not impressed. The instrumentation isn't much to write home about either. The main riff is pretty cool but it never really evolves into something truly epic. One of the worst Muse songs I have heard honestly. If I have to say to something positive about it, then I guess it will sound good live, and it's kind of catchy.
I like Psycho, but I want to hear Matt's voice more. I don't like how drained out the vocals are in the chorus. But still, it's a fun song and I definitely like where the lyrical direction seems to be going with this album.
The instrumentals are solid. I hate the lyrics though. It's cool that they aren't afraid to use profanity and all, but it should at least make some sense or be used effectively. I feel like they're cursing just to curse. But I'm still hyped for a new album
Could this album be worse than their last one? Yes, yes it can. If the album is anything like this song, It's going down a bad path. I realize this is a concept album and that the lyrics may make more sense in the context of the album, but this is easily one of the worst Muse songs from a lyrical perspective. I can't get behind the lyrics at all. Also, it feels like they just made the song 6 minutes just to make it 6 minutes. It's not inspired, doesn't go anywhere, and just feels bland for a 6 minute song. The only positive I have is the main guitar riff sounds nice.
They took a really fucking good riff and groove, and built around it really boring verses and a mediocre chorus. Maybe it's just bias on my part for expecting another Hysteria or Stockholm Syndrome, but the song had a lot of potential that was wasted. Hopefully the rest of the album is a lot better.
This is funny. I knew people who say the totally opposite I like Psycho, but i am less than 0 into Muse.
I think the mistake you guys made was watching the lyric video whilst listening to the song for the first time. Reading the lyrics while listening to a song for the first time can completely ruin the experience. First you have to listen to the music for itself. That being said, in my opinion – this track is darn splendid.
