Muse’s identity

Nothing wrong with experimenting, but I believe Muse is at their best as a harder rock band, like in this album.

I’ll break this down song by song,
Dead Inside- Pretty solid song! I love the vocals and the dark riffs with just a hint of funky synth! Kinda makes me feel like I’m watching the Panic Station vid. 8/10
Psycho- Okay, so I love the song itself! It’s INCREDIBLY CATCHY, and the guitar and vocals are superb, but I’m a little bummed out about the cussing. Come on guys! You’re Muse! You don’t need to hide behind language! 6/10
Mercy- As a pianist, I love this song. The bright piano, fun vocals and decisive guitar is pretty awesome! 7/10
Reapers- NOW WE’RE TALKING! As someone who has grown up with rock, I absolutely love the dark guitar riffs, crazy solos and kick butt vocals! By far the best song in the album! 11/10
The Handler- This song is by no means my favorite, but I think that the guitar and Van Halen type feel really does add a lot to the song! 7/10
Defector- I have loved this song since I first heard it! The dark guitar and lyrics combined with the hints of funk make this such a fun song! 7/10
Revolt- Ehhhh, not really my think. Everything just sort of feels unfinished, and I think the song could have been much better. Everything just feels so mediocre, and not what I expect from Muse. 5/10
Aftermath- This was always a song that I would skip over in my Ipod, but once I got used to it I realized that it is actually really beautiful! Almost makes me cry, actually. 7/10
The Globalist- I used to be really intimidated by this song. 10 minutes!? Wow! But one day it came on and I was to lazy to change it, and by the end I was humming along! The beginning is a little slow, but it really does feel like a work of art! I love every bit of it. 10/10
Drones- Ehhh, I have mixed feelings about this song. Choir has always kinda been my thing, and I do think that the harmonies are LEGIT, but part of it feels sort of hollow. Maybe it’s just me. 5/10
My fav album

I thought “Reapers” was the COOLEST! Hooray Muse! I also like (in order) Dead inside, the handler, and mercy! Strongly recommend!
Awful!

There are very few bands that can crank out multiple great albums, but Muse is one of them. I stumbled upon this band while studying for exams and downloading music on my iPod. Starlight was in the top 100 list, so I bought it to add to my playlist. From there, I just kept listening to their songs, buying albums and never get tired of their music. There is a song for every mood, from Psycho to Invincible. I'm patiently waiting for their next album now that they have released 2 singles.
Greatest album by Muse.

A Review

In terms of lyrics and concept, does Drones fall flat? Maybe a little - their political and social commentary was not necessarily unoriginal, but within its own album, it was somewhat trite. But then again, it is a concept album - and even then, as (ignoring the concept) an album, it was amazingly done. Each of its tracks was arranged well both "plot"- and sound-wise; it was extremely cohesive, and its production (as well as, of course, Matt Bellamy's delivery of its lyrics) did that justice. As such, I personally would not listen to singular tracks on Drones - the complete experience is so much more rewarding, and rewarding it is for certain. As a long-time Muse fan, I am definitely not disappointed!
spectacular!

To all the people who rated the album because of the song "psycho", just stop listening to music in general, you don't deserve it, I wasn't a fan of psycho when I heard but when the album came out, i listened to the whole thing and it made psycho irrelevant compared to the rest of the album, but I'm actually really starting to like the single

Muse is one of my favorite bands, and this band has written some excellent music. This album is one of the best ones they have ever written. I am a huge muse fan and I give this album full stars because of the creative flow of the music and the message that goes with it.
Wow

A brilliant story painted with words. Muse has outdone themselves by painting a narrative, with words and sounds never heard before. The story begins with the protagonist feeling dead inside, and depressed as he suffers in camp to become the governments tool, which he does, in reapers. He snaps out of his trance to fight back, only to be tortured. He pleads for mercy but is shown none as he is further tormented and broken. He escapes, to eventually make his killing spree of revenge on the twisted oppressors that did him wrong. The story ends by him destroying everything, the corrupt world he called home, as it was the right thing to do. He reflects finally in the short close to the album, the mini song Drones. I was moved by this album, I hope you are (p.s this is my interpretation, and I believe he did have a lover as he always seems to be talking to someone).
Even at their worst it's still glorious

after listening to this album for many months after its full release, I feel like I have many things to say about it, and accurate things at that! let me just go song by song---
dead inside- great rock song!! love the powerful ending where the narrator has his realization!! but, after a few months I have gotten a little tired of it.
9/10
psycho- good song, but I wish they didn't include as much of the explicit language. but this song is amazing if you're looking for an interesting and demanding song. 9/10
mercy- LOVE this song!! I love the chorus!! great guitar elements! 10/10
reapers- hard rock right here!!! love the electronic elements! not much more to say!! 10/10
the handler- definitely my favorite song from the album!! hard rock and very dramatic!!! I totally recommend this!! 12/10
defector- pretty good!! it is very repetitive though. I get tired of it. 8/10
revolt- more of an upbeat, happy song. very dramatic! 10/10
aftermath- very sweet song!! love this one!! 10/10
globalist- has a great story!! not much to say. 9/10
drones- one of my favorite!!! I absolutely love this song!! it is beautiful!! 10/10
overall, I give this album a 9.5/10!!
I love it.

So, I saw them on their North American Drones tour and I’ve come to the conclusion that this album was made to b played live. The production sounds like they do live and I’m pretty sure the whole drones concept exists because Muse wanted to have flying things in their live shows (yes, there were drones flying around the arena and it was awesome). With that said, the album is awesome. It’s not as good as OOS or Absolution but it’s definitely awesome.The lyrics are a bit corny and maybe cliche sometimes but really, why should anyone care? No one should be listening to this kind of music of they prefer lyrics over the music. Theres a reason “Knights Of Cydonia” has very few lyrics. If you're a Muse fan, why don’t you already have it? If you're not a Muse fan, however, I would suggest you start somewhere else.
