Muse

[Mash011]

I can't decide whether Reapers is brilliant or hilarious.

The lyrics have to up there with their worst.

It's not even silly to be funny. By Muse standards it's practically subtle.

[LondonTom]

People like Dead Inside?! (or prefer it over the other tracks, would be more accurate ). I had a Guilding Light moment with it, just didn't click with me at all. Its everything terrible they have done rolled into one horrible song.

Still hate it, but listening to the other tracks with it, I think it will work better as part of the album.

[jonodillieono]

I like all 4 (haven't heard the handler yet) but the lyrics to all of them are up there with some of the worst I've ever heard. So cringey

[Gucci Piggy]

The Handler is the best one

[Gucci Piggy]

It sounds like a Muse song that isn't a turd like Uprising

[Ipayne]

Yeah the Handlers sounding good. NME saying it sounds like Radio Gaga though? Don't know what they were listening to.

Link for anyone who's not heard. Definitely one of the better ones so far but I think I prefer Psycho

I like The Handler. It's got a bit of an Animals vibe about it - which was one of the better tracks on the last album.

[Gucci Piggy]

It was the only good track on T2L, wasn't it?

[Lubic]

It was the only good track on T2L, wasn't it?

Well, pretty much ha. I still like the two 2nd law tracks though. Bit different, and not trying to copy U2/Queen. Panic Station's a laugh too.

[Mash011]

That wasn't even funny, it was just dull. Let down.

[CHRLY]

Oi Survival is a tune.

[Gucci Piggy]

Ah shit yeah I forgot Survival, that'd be quality if it wasn't for the lyrics and intro. Still decent. Brilliant live.

[CHRLY]

One of the few times that Muse's ridiculousness is levelled out with a good song.

[The Placid Casual]

I'm a minute into the handler. It's already the best song by far.

[The Placid Casual]

It was the only good track on T2L, wasn't it?

You're obviously forgetting Panic Station Will.

[justanothername]

Yup! The Handler was great. I'm actually really excited for Drones now, still expecting a few rubbish tracks but I think overall it will be worth the wait

You're obviously forgetting Panic Station Will.

Best music video ever

[The Placid Casual]

That's the best track they've done since MK Ultra. Brilliant stuff.

[The Placid Casual]

Also, the opening riff to Reapers is gash.

I just split my webbing learning it on guitar.

Actually though I split my webbing playing cricket last year and it's fucking agony.

I just play piano so I never get that problem.

This always made me the coolest person in school.

I play piano but was probably the least cool person in school so I'm not sure your logic's 100% sound here.

The stretch isn't that bad! I've got tiny hands for a guy too!

Really? I have absolutely massive hands and it seems a huge stretch for me. I play with my thumb really high though so that makes it harder.

Ah that could be it then, mine rests about half way down. I learned the intro to Hot for Teacher a few years ago so the stretch isn't quite as bad as that, probably why it's not as bad.
