The last Muse album ‘The 2nd Law’ was released in 2012.
This album explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors.” “The world is run by Drones utilizing Drones to turn us all into Drones. “To me, ‘Drones’ are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behaviour with no recourse,” Matt Bellamy said in a statement. ‘Drones’ was produced by Robert John ‘Mutt’ Lange, best known for his work with AC/DC, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams and Shania Twain. The first single ‘Dead Inside’ will be released on March 23. ‘Psycho’ will be featured on the 7th Muse album ‘Drones’ but it is not the official first single.
As it starts, the glimpses of former greatness scattered throughout ‘Drones’ are just enough to leave the listener asking themselves where it all went wrong.Muse have previewed their next album ‘Drones’ with a new song titled ‘Psycho’. Bellamy’s obsession with war and backroom soldiers will hopefully end sooner rather than later, but until then we may as well just strap in and try to digest whatever the trio deliver us. At this point, it’s hard to care.Īs time goes on, it feels like Muse are becoming that crazy old guy on the street corner who babbles conspiracy theories about there being fluoride in the water. Closing track, Drones, is a weird acapella number where the protagonist says that his family were killed by drones. As has been previously mentioned, the first eight songs of this album were more than enough. Aftermath doesn’t sound like a Muse song and The Globalist is like a chamber Bellamy retreats into to have his ego caressed for an entire ten minutes. The pairing of Aftermath and The Globalist bring back the strange rock opera vibe stronger than it was before and it is nothing short of woeful. It’s a song you’ll almost be embarrassed to like… but you’ll like it anyways. It has some Queen-esque backing lyrics and a chord progression in the chorus that belongs in a dodgy pop song. It’s literally four minutes of encouraging people to revolt and take over. It’s oddly catchy and features a belter of a chorus, but it belongs in an episode of Glee. Oh, if only they’d done the sensible thing and ended it there… Defector is where the protagonist grows a pair and frees himself from the bindings of society. Bellamy and The Handler could have been a song off ‘Origins of Symmetry’. Psycho boasts a contagious riff that will keep you entertained, Mercy features some fantastic falsetto from Mr. The first eight tracks are in many ways, more than enough. After their previous albums incorporated orchestral and electronic music, Muse aimed to return to a more straightforward rock sound. Drones is a concept album following a protagonists journey from abandonment to indoctrination as a 'human drone' and eventual defection. Drones is the seventh studio album by English rock band Muse, released on 5 June 2015 by Helium-3 and Warner Bros. It was released in Europe on 5 June 2015 and 8 June in the United Kingdom under Warner Bros. This is the heaviest Muse have sounded since the days of ‘Origin of Symmetry ‘and while it’s a nice change, it still isn’t quite enough to distract from Bellamy’s messy lyrics. Drones is the seventh studio album by the English rock band Muse. Bellamy’s guitar noodling is still top drawer while Chris Wolstenholme manages to deliver some earth shatteringly good basslines. Weird lyrical messages aside, musically ‘Drones’ is a mostly solid album. It all feels a bit too much like preachy propaganda. This kind of ideology is generally confined to teenage dystopian novels and for good reason. The protagonist undergoes a great amount of transformation across the twelve tracks of the album from a depressed and beat up human in the opening track, Dead Inside, (which is a bit like an I Want To Break Free/Eurovision hybrid) to a revolutionary being who stands up and fights back in Revolt. ‘Drones’ is another concept album, and at this stage they’re becoming a bit stale. The quality of what they deliver has slipped slightly over the past few years however, and ‘Drones’ is not up to par to reclaim the throne just yet. The earlier works of Matt Bellamy and co illustrate that they possess an immeasurable amount of musical talent. ‘Drones’ is the seventh studio release from Muse and the first since 2012’s ‘The Second Law’ (which was also a concept album…). The band have become increasingly fond of trying their artistic hands at brave new concepts, but somehow always manage to just fall short of the hurdle.
