Can't understand why some Muse fans don't like Drones. It's one of my favourite albums of theirs and has some killer tracks
i like Drones, way better than Simulation Theory. and The Handler is my fave from the album.
As someone who also loves Drones, I think the argument is that it’s far too paranoid, which is off-putting to many folks. The thing is, their musicianship is still fantastic and some of their lyrics are still awesome. It’s a damn good album, even if slightly problematic.
Me, over here! I love this song, but Drones is the album I like the least.
Same problem with most of their albums post BHaR. Lyrics so cheesy my doctor was worried about my cholesterol levels. Just read the lyrics to defector and try and convince me a 16 year old fresh off of a youtube documentary binge couldn't write that.
Usually every new album produces a gem or two, if we're lucky, 3. The Handler was definitely one of those.
@@noblesavage8964 since I made those comments , I've had time to fully digest the album and it's not great but okay. Some of the lyrics are definitely cheesy and for me Simulation Theory is a better album.
Undeniably the best song of the album ...
+Lucas Peter Arguably their best song ever.
+Lucas Peter
reapers is XD
+Lucas Peter I agree!!!
+Mega Fragger reapers could have been amazing but it doesn't flow. Seems like the forced great ideas together
+13dirty666 I agree, song is too disjointed... segments of it are awesome individually though.
This song is criminally underrated.
This and psycho go hand in hand. Two of the best in my opinion 🙌🏼
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "Criminally" underrated STEALING THIS 🤣🤣🤣 and agreed this is an amazing song!
I feel like the bassist work on this song is very underappreciated. There a lot of little parts that give me chills.
He's absolutely pivotal to Muse, and I would argue he is among the top 5 working in the industry today. Every album has absolute killer baselines that hold many of the songs together, it not all of them.
Check Hysteria
The muse bass is always👌👌👌👌. As a bassist there's so many of their songs that just makes me go MMMMM
i love this song because the chills dude, i get them and i, this is one of the few songs that causes chills its amazing
Oh dude Chris is amazing. The bassline all the way throughout hysteria is mind blowing and I have no idea how he plays it without blowing his fingers out
Muse is the best contemporary rock band, period.
I don't see them as a BAND! They are completely on a different level when it comes to extreme and insane talent that NO ONE EVER can duplicate their sound or LIVE SHOWS! 🎶
They're musical geniuses, they don't play the same 3 chord song everyone else plays, they're NOT fake, they're funnier than hell (women love men with humour), European-I just found out I'm 25.3 % Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and 23 % Scandinavian-and I always asked my parents If there was Irish in the family-they said NO! So, I took a DNA test and there was IRISH! 😳
Maybe that's WHY I was attracted to The Cure, MUSE, Florence and the machine, etc. And, I've played in a couple 3 piece bands-it's fucking hard to sound fuller with 3 people, yet MUSE-THEIR TALENT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD! 🌎
I need to move to Europe now. Americans don't even know who MUSE IS? 😳
LMAO
Lolol
tutsy bassista sorry to sink your boat but Tool technically is leagues above them. Same with Dream Theatre
Common Avionics different ballpark bud
anyone else speechless about how insane that bass tone is?
Same, Chris absolutely rips. I wonder if he's got a sub octave effect on during the second verse, sounds super heavy.
Dominic O'Korn i think he has the sub octave on for every chorus plus that second verse, gives it such a brutal tone
Totally. You a bass player?
Actually, could have just looked at your channel XD. You've got some awesome stuff!
Dominic O'Korn haha, thanks man, havent posted in ages, but i might need to change that once this albums out, these songs are great fun
I listened to this song for a whole two years and finally surged the courage to escape from my abuser. Im free now. Im finally happy and even though it hasnt been easy at all, i fucking made it. Thanks Muse. Thank you.
I'm proud of you!! And I'm sure Muse is proud of you too 💖💖💖
tf?
For some reason your comment is really powerful and music can influence us to change our lives for the better (or worse sometimes) and this is def proof. So glad you found the power to leave and good luck to you going forward!!!
same. This and Dead inside are really helpful overcoming certain situations.. or people.
@Anthrop illogical uhhhhhhhhhh rude
When Matt said "dadaEEdaahEEahEhaAhAHehaaaaaah"
I felt that
Exactly
I think this and reapers are the ones that have truly convinced me that drones is going to be an amazing album
Dragoninspace Listened to the full album today, it's okay but Handler and Reapers are the best 2
***** Aftermath is amazing too
Dragoninspace Listened to the whole album, the rest isn't good. Those 2 songs are the best.
Reapers & The Handler are the best of the album tbh, the rest is ok, The Globalist is good but it didn't blow me away like I thought it would
Dragoninspace You should listen to The Globalist ASAP
Simply... THE BEST.
***** Wow! te gusta MUSE, muy bien :)
Que peo que peo no esperaba verte por aquí :OOO
Sounds like Jake the dog from A Dogs Life, every time he gets a bone.
Simply the best~
Hablas english
Ahhh perro
respect for the victims and knowers, who see beyond this as an ordinary song, those who know the truth.
Facts
All you have to do is lift the curtain but it does take some bravery and perhaps a little foolishness to want to know. Projection can be a liar as well
Brave and powerful album.
The whole album is a wake up call.
Is targeted to the Us "shit fuckery" but in these troubles time is revelant more than ever
sometimes i wish i didn't but i'm glad that my curse is my greatest blessings . i'm awake i know the matrix is real
WON'T STAND DOWN 🤝 THE HANDLER
Quintessential Muse here ladies & gentlemen.
And oh boy how i love it
Burntoastman31 well said, now is there anybody else who still claims Muse to deviate from their genre in this album? =)
Showbiz: "Controlling my feelings for too long"
The Handler: "I won't let you control my feelings anymore"
Hysteria: "Give me your heart and your soul"
Dead Inside: "Do you have no soul? It's like it died, long ago"
United States Of Eurasia/Collateral Damage: "Must we do as we're told?"
The Handler: "And I will never do as I am told"
Unnatural Selection: "I want the truth"
Reapers: "I don't think I can handle the truth"
Franco I have the most negative hypothesis: It means the end of Muse. Every song of the last albums now have answers in this one. So why would the story go on? And with an "Amen" at the end of the album...
Mr.DOO nah. In an interview recently they said they are going on at least for another 10 years
Franco Map of the Problematique: When will this loneliness be over?
Aftermath: "Now and forever, the loneliness has gone"
OptimisticDeath I forgot to say ; I didn't mean it. If I did, I would have to kill you all (wait, what?).
OptimisticDeath Oh fucking hell! I love your name!
This song gave me the strength and determination to escape my captor no matter what it took. He held me captive (physically) for 3.5 years. The first time I heard this was right after he had attacked me once again and I heard the lyrics and burst out in tears. This song literally saved my life.
I'm happy you made it out
You're a strong person. It took me just over 30 years to escape.
i just knew ive been gangstalked and ganghacked my entire life. im still processing and not sure what to do now. even now, i believe they are watching me
@@sarahm2023 I believe in you Sarah, take care ❤
@@margaretcummings2833 whats your story? i just knew ive been gangstalked last year. but i suspected they have been doing this since forever. im 36 now, so its 30+ years also. I am still not able to escape them, i believe.
anyways this is one of Muse's best songs
Hey you're the Hysteria bass comment chick
@@grimripper1415 ah yes, my legacy
@@sujatara The legends were true
Aren't they all
Love this track... and exopolitics
Sounds almost like all of Absolution merged into 1 song with the dark feel and heavy riffs, can't wait for the rest of the album now
Second half isn't as good as the first. Defector's perfect, rest disappointed me.
Aeterna Umbra How have people listened to the whole album already?
Leaked.
mattbellamymate yeah, its been leaked. and Aeterna Umbra's mostly right about the rest of the album. There's a good heavy section in the globalist that doesn't pay off unfortunately.
mattbellamymate leakage
Drones certainly isn't my favorite Muse album, but Reapers and The Handler are both in my top 10 favorite songs by these guys.
+PsychicHorse Not their best in my opinion, but still amazing! I can't pick a favorite, though. All of them qualify.
+PsychicHorse I feel exactly the same, Im not crazy about this album as much as the others but Reapers and The Handler (and for me also Dead Inside) saves this album
+PsychicHorse After 2nd Law came out, I thought I was done with Muse. But this album taught me I was wrong to forget them.
+nitrogen76 indeed.. i almost completely forgotten my reason for loving them after 2nd law era
but this song saved me
+mer I dunno Survive was pretty good.
This song is one of their best
Love this song. Could be my favourite Muse track.
the best part is that AaaAaaAAaaA
I had this stuck in my head the other day but only that part so it took me ages to find it
Yea it is, it's fun to play when your playing the drums to it
+colin zeal, As heard at 2:12?
***** yes !
I beg to differ. For me it's: YOU WILL NEVER!!! OWN ME AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYAAAYAAAAYa EUEUE eueueueauuuaaa
The tutorial starts at 2:20 if you were curious
lol
AHahahh
Hahaha
XD
This part sounds like the beginning of thunderstruck by ACDC I think
It was not long ago when I went to my kitchen to make some coffee, and sang to myself:
"YOU!
are my ESPRESSO!
AND I!
have become your COFFEE MACHINE!"
Wait, that’s -illegal- funny! 😂
You made my day😂😂😂
ahahaha good one
Hahahhaha 🤣
_ciao_
here from 6 underground...damn they had such a nice soundtrack
Haha same here...
Lit
Same here not listened to these guys for years!
Me too😂
Wasn t expecting the likes haha thx guys... And yea ikr... Since i found "the handler" i m again in my rock phase hahahaha xD
Matt's musical skills are incredible.
i know rite man
the instrumentals in this song aren't very impressive( except solo), but most other songs are
+iwanttosmell His voice and the guitar playing at the same time.. are very astounding, in my opinion. And I'm not only talking about technique, but the melodies he can create. I heard he listens to a lot of classical and orchestral music, which is a great inspiration to get cool ideas.
His sounds like a guitar.
+davidtheguitarman I thought that this song is high pitched but some others are simply like communication with Orcas. Listen to Micro Cuts, Showbiz and Survival. Especially Micro Cuts.
"The Handler"
You (you, you)
Were my oppressor
And I (I, I)
I have been programmed to obey
And now (now, now)
You are my handler
And I (I, I)
I will execute your demands
Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you
Behold (hold, hold)
My trance formation
And you (you, you)
Are empowered to do as you please
My mind (mind, mind)
Was lost in translation
And my heart (heart, heart)
Has become a cold and impassive machine
Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you
I won't let you control my feelings anymore
And I will no longer do as I am told
And I am no longer afraid to walk alone
Let me go
Let me be
I'm escaping from your grip
You will never own me again
Juste Lilly I love you ❤
This song is clearly antisemitic :(
So, what is this about? MK Ultra mind control like what's depicted in Stranger Things?
Evelyndra K That’s exactly what it’s about - nearly every Hollywood star, people in the music industry have a handler and have undergone MK Ultra....
Theeere goeees myyyy herooo... hahaha tranks bro
Really appreciate the string noise at 4:08 ... feels dirty, desperate, and heavy. I cannot stop playing this track actually, it’s just so damn good all the way around.
Most satisfying part of the song for me
Those drum lines are hot af, props to Dominic
Reapers and this song are the best of Drones album!!!
Daniela Bannino - I agree with you!, will you buy the album on monday?!
Yep. But you can't forget dead inside. That's beast
Keith Heggarty i ' ve already booked!!!;)
nice! you getting the cd/dvd edition?
Keith Heggarty yes of course...The limited edition!!!
Kill me with that bass
Kill me with the guitar solo
Shove my head into the drums
Omg omg omg
Diabolo Ling never thought I could make it to 301 club of Muse
Diabolo Ling i got here when it had less the 1000 like jajaa
Diabolo Ling Don't forget those fucking vocals, Jesus mother fucking Christ
Carlo Vera Soliz yea the fucking vocals draws my soul from me!!!!!
Diabolo Ling
*diabololing.exe stops responding*
Wont stand down + The Handler ♥
The bass line during the chorus is so good that it should be illegal. ^^
The first few times I listened to this song it didn’t really click with me but when I noticed that bass line I was totally addicted. It’s a top 10 muse song for me pretty much just based on that.
yeah but it would not be sweater
Congrats to Muse for winning a Grammy for rock album of the year. Well deserved.
[Verse 1: Matt Bellamy]
You were my oppressor
And I, I have been programmed to obey
But now you are my handler
And I, I will execute your demands
[Chorus]
Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you
[Verse 2]
Behold my transformation
And you are empowered to do as you please
My mind was lost in translation
And my heart has become a cold and impassive machine
[Chorus]
Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you
[Outro]
I won't let you control my feelings anymore
And I will no longer do as I am told
And I am no longer afraid to walk alone
Let me go
Let me be
I am escaping
From your grip
You will never own me again
Yeah
The lyrics are on the video!?* Wtf?
@@damiendarlington no they aren't. did you even watch it?
@@damiendarlington A lot of artists do use lyrics on their videos (like Christina Perri). Here, MUSE uses some words to "stick out." But, even Matt has lyrics in his glasses LIVE-but, I have ALL their lyrics cuz it came with the CD!
Nice that you posted the lyrics. One correction: He specifically spells the word *tranceformation* (not transformation) because he was in a trance before and under the handler's control.
@@ZD90SK That is even MORE appropriate with this song. It believe it happens, even today.
Monarch Mind Control... 🦋☠🦋
100%
The bass.....the bass makes me adore this song even more 🤌
These releases just keep getting better and better.
No longer. Defector's great. After that is a bit meh.
Aeterna Umbra defectors out?
Triton Seibert Not officially.
www.dailymotion.com/video/x2sgjpd_muse-defector_music
thats sick!
how do these get leaked?
The guitar solo gave me life
the guitar solo made me give life
+SmellsLike GreenSpirit are you serious ?
or daft punk - aerodynamic
+SmellsLike GreenSpirit damn, chill.
+SmellsLike GreenSpirit it is real music and actually takes effort to play.
MUSE IS TALKING ABOUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
This gives such heavy "Wont Stand Down" vibes
|Break In case you don't like the song| (Breaks it)
First: Repeat the song 14 times
Second: you fucking love it
YEAAAAH I MEAN IS MUSE DAMN
THIS SONG IS SO GOOD HOLY
saulo martinez It only took me 3 listenings. :D
My dad thinks its boring
Owen Radcliffe Give the song time! It will grow on you! Just wait! :D
saulo martinez I love it since the very first time. I won't believe if any muser complaints because this song is clearly what some fans have been asking for, the Old Muse.
This song and Reapers are very good tracks. I wasn't too crazy about Dead Inside and Mercy, and Psycho is okay but the sampling shit annoys me, but these two songs leave no room for complaint. Great tracks.
Telecaster Magician Well put. I actually enjoyed Mercy more than Psycho and Dead Inside. Psycho just plain sucks in my opinion but meh, can't win 'em all.
Telecaster Magician Dead Inside is a brilliant song. Absolutely amazing. This one is awesome too. I didn't like Psycho or Mercy that much. Reapers I have to listen to again.
awarlock82 reapers has been my favorite so far
I agree :P
Telecaster Magician See, Mercy has been on repeat for me the past few days, I've definitely grown to love it since it first came out! I agree about the sampling on Psycho, although I do love the rest of the song aside from the sampling! I would say that this song and Reapers are my two favoruites so far though!
"Official lyric video"
contains 5% of the lyrics
Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws
Man is this one of the best Muse songs created, this is amazing!!!
Every new release is better and better...
This isn't a single. But after this there's Defector, which is great, but then everything's a bit meh.
Aeterna Umbra I have to agree, with the 'meh' part. I'm disappointed with the second half of the album.
Muse should release a death metal album ✌🏽
Delmazsozso Me as well. It wasn't bad by any means, but after this and Reaper, my hopes kinda skyrocketed for this album.
The 2nd half just kinda sounds a lot like my dad might listen to, which is fine, just not amazing like this.
Absolutely the best song of the album!
ikr
yes!!!
Oh man you have to see it live, with those crazy visuals..wah!!
Hope i can offord it one day!
+Charlene Joan Sant I saw them live last month, the best concert I've ever seen!
Won't stand down part. 1
Facts.
For anyone who has ever been seriously abused by spouse or parents, listening to this song gives chills. Its message gives you power to overcome. "you will never own me again". It’s emotional to release decades of innocence, vulnerability, stress, depression, anger, loss, resentment and sadness. and lastly, releasing the infinite neediness and unfathomable love for the abuser from your heart. End of codependency and victimhood, seeing the real truth, let the idea of self shatters and rebuilds. Handler’s messge is spot on for victims of emotional abuse. I always enjoyed it in my healing process. So much respect for muse for the vicseral lyrics and weight put into each words
Won't stand down is also very powerful in that meaning :)
@@davidcalado6917 yes!!! Thanks :)
@@davidcalado6917 - Just listened to Won't Stand Down ! Sounds like my relationship I just left after 20 years , a week ago ! I feel free .... Finally ,but I trust no one !!! 👍😘💃🏻
Have been in a marriage that not was happy. Divorced in 2010. Tried to stay on good terms with my ex, because we have children. When this track was released... I knew what was "wrong" with me. It's very emotional and liberating at the same time. Love this. Thanks for your story Isabelle, still helps me a lot.
@@kayceea.saunders2340 In Muse you can trust. Feel for you, hope there will be peace in your heart again. Take care.
2:20 to 4:04 ... that´s the old Muse I missed the most, they´re really back!
+Ivan González hincha a muerte de tu canal lol
+Ivan González I orgasmed when i first heard that part
Believe the hype 😉 the drones album is awesome, as you say, Muse are back!!
Believe the hype 😉 the drones album is awesome, as you say, Muse are back!!
+Ivan González Agreed, well said.
I would probably die if I heard this live
its INCREDIBLE
I saw them live on the drones tour and i am not exaggerating when i say it changed my life. I go to LOTS of concerts, but had never seen such a visual experience and I've seen rammstein, manson, and rob zombie. The handler had giant hands with strings controlling the band members. Every time i hear this song, EVERY TIME, I picture those giant hands flailing around. I will never forget that concert
It was INSANE live. The handler was manipulating them on stage, pulling their strings. Search for a youtube cam of it, it was incredibly done
@Morgan Brandy I first saw them on the Drones tour which was where they played Handler with the giant marionette strings. I saw them a second about a year later for just a more Muse non tour specific show, and finally a third time last spring for Simulation Theory, which was incredible. The choreography alone was stunning, let alone the giant robot they had come with all the lasers, lights, and pyrotechnics. Muse will forever be one of the greatest performers.
My all time favourite track!
Never will understand, why some songs of Muse have so few views. They all are true masterpieces
so real
bruh it’s a non single lyric video chilling at 26m
The Handler is one of their higher tier songs for sure.
@@redpillnibbler4423 agree, it has amazing riffs
The beginning gives me chills
+Skanthunt42 😂😂 this is not my actual face
Alisa Beck Even better when the previous song was Unintended ;)
Alisa Beck its called a "nose"
This man's voice and talents for songwriting and guitar and piano, damn he's so brilliant
+Kitsune Misuto (Kit) "and your belly is all yellow" Defector's lyrics is made out of symbolisms. Yellow belly means coward. Search up for blue blood and green minds
+Daniel Aucallanchi Yes I've seen a cowboy movie before. What I'm saying is the word belly sounds rather silly.
God.. those riffs are just fucking _Legendary_
I have begun to appreciate just how freaking dark this album is.
Even I didn't give it the fairest of chances when it came out and now it has really really grown on me.
Lmao same. I remember when it first came out, went and listened to it and none of the tracks really spoke to me at the time but then YEARS later, i hear those songs and I'm like "wow, I'm blown away WTF" Funny how certain albums and songs can do that to ya like, years later...
same, the theme of this album is heavy and I could not listen for 2nd round lol. but there are good songs in this album if you listen to it alone, it's definitely better. like the handler, dead inside, aftermath
The bass gives me fucking goosebumps. And then Matt‘s voice kicking in... absolute perfection
This is the best one yet and I did NOT expect to be saying that after Reapers
Best one on the entire album.
***** Mr. Bond i expect you to choose Muse
Chris playing the bass like the guitar ❤
So happy that I found Muse and this song. They were very brave to make this..
Super fucking powerful MUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Impossible not to love these guys!
Genius lyrics for genius messages, genius musicians for genius music. Genius Bass/Drums/Guitar and Genius Matthew Chopininoff Bellamy. Genius style for genius concerts. Genius from the beginning with Showbiz and genius to the way they had to adapt their music to the difficulties of the business, without loosing their own style.
Impossible to be compared.
The Best.
João Vasconcelos GENIUS!!!
João Vasconcelos I share the same feelings !
Banda genial mesmo hahahaha
Wow. They're so bold they tell you they're real and what they're doing. I see the symbolism.
Director: Okay, so how much black you want in the video?
Muse: Yes.
lol best comment
Thank you!!!
Editor : I got you fam!
no black guy...
Forex_Broker_Timeless I knew there would be a racist comment in here lol. Btw I'm a black goth guy and a metalhead to. So yeuh..
everyone's talking about the bass
can we just take a moment and Appreciate How amazing the drumbeats are
Every single new song literally take my breath away! I'm in love , good job Muse !!!
Callie B. - hi, iIve only listened up till reapers, waiting for the album release before I listen to any more!
Woot! Yup 😍
Callie B. Literally? LITERALLY?! Well, dang. RIP Callie B.
"I won't let you control my feelings anymore
And I will no longer do as I am told
And I am no longer afraid to walk alone"
Let me go!
Let me be!
I'm escaping from your grip
You will never... own me AGAIN!
Hey! Where's MY line?
I actually made this verse my senior quote from High School. Best choice I ever made
Reaper
This song makes me feel like a badass
Why am I only just hearing this?!
Been a fan of Muse for years, but this masterpiece just slipped me by.
Very powerful.
Agree. It slipped by me until today as I look deeper into the rabbit hole
Algorithm
I just heard it for the first time yesterday and it will be on repeat for at least a couple of months all day! I have done that with every song I have fallen in love with my whole life and my kids are astonished how I know the lyrics to so many 60's, 70's, 80, 90's and into the 21st century hard rock songs. I am a pretty awesome mom! My kids grew up hearing it all! My eldest son became an incredible musician because of hearing everything I grew up on. Then my boys hooked me up with a lot of 90's and 2000 to current bands. We all love Muse! I shared this with them and they had never heard this either and love it. Only 7 years late! 😂
@@journeygirl4ever You did a great thing by bringing them up to good music.
Just be careful - not all bands have a *positive* message in their songs, but really dark ones.
Music wokrs on the subconsciousness like nothing else can and one should really be careful of what he or she listens to.
Cheers!
I think we all need to take a moment to appreciate Chris' amazing bass work here. That little run of notes he does in the pre-chorus is fantastic.
Pretty much every song on this album has amazing baselines. The bluesy riffs in Psycho, the verses in Reapers, of course this song, Defector. Chris is one of the greatest bassists ever.
guitarandbass1995
The greatest rock bassist perhaps, there are some seriously good bassists out there.
Does anyone else also try to hit those high notes of Matty while listening to this?
Brandon Cummings right at "never own me again"
Every single time.
believe it or not but I can.. took me a while though haha! forever a muser!
Brandon Cummings Puberty to strunk halp pls, my voice is falling.
Brandon Cummings It's much easier when you can be really loud.
Absolutely amazing song
The symbolism in this one...
THE LIVE VERSION OMG
THERE IS LIKE A DRONE AND IT'S USING MATT AS A PUPPET IT'S JUST AMAZING
Agreed!!! Def a highlight of the show!!!
Most amazing show I've ever seen
+Inaworld Ten I have video of it because people don't believe me about the visuals!
+Inaworld Ten Know anywhere I can watch a recording?
Sebastián Ortiz Cardozo There is a lot of them on youtube. Just look for a black and blue color with puppet hands.
Wasn't a big fan of this song until I saw it live with those crazy puppet visuals. Now it's one of my faves!
+Simon Rivas Me too! Where did you see them?
+Margar K. Dallas, Tx last month. There is even video I recorded on my channel
+Simon Rivas I've always dug this song, but when I saw them live (Philadelphia, Wells Fargo), I lost my fucking mind, and have been re-listening to all of their albums.
They're seriously amazing, I saw them in Boston on the 25th and I was totally blown away. By far my favorite band
No doubt, I want to go back to Sunday so bad, but, I'll have to wait to see em' :c
The connection from this song to Showbiz just makes it better.
Don't forget music Inc.
Respect?
DEFINITELY!
This song made being alive today worth while........
Stephen Mc Grath yes
Viva Matt Bellamy
Opinó lo mismo lmñ
+Irena R sabeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
+Irena R Matt Bellamy un dios ? o es el univeso entero
+Patricio Arenas no sabe ni cantat bien por favor
+FDO BMJ De hecho canta mucho mejor que muuuuuuuuuchos artistas actuales y no tiene que depender de ningún auto-tune ni software de retoque de voz o playback para sonar bien en vivo
The bass line in this song was so great like in Hysteria
2:18 - 4:04 fuckin eargasm, especially the drums 🤤👌🏻
huh... where did all the "New Muse" haters go?...
Edit: Wow. I did not expect this comment to be so controversial. I was honestly just poking fun. I suppose i'll weigh in a little.
My humble opinion: Muse has done different styles throughout the years. What I like so much about them is that they don't just make songs to please people; they make what they want to make and they do it well. Their newer styles probably don't please the older fans who only liked it for the 90's style alt rock. I'll admit I didn't like the last couple of albums as much as the older ones, but I still enjoyed the hell out of them because I like Muse and what they stand for. I *am* glad to see Muse return to their roots a little, but they will never be the same band they were in the 90's (which is a very good thing, i.e. Nickelback). Stagnant bands are the worst, and Muse is anything but stagnant. THAT is why I say they are still one of the best bands of our time.
HalfAlive when the 301 view go out they'll be here. wait until tomorrow for: ''i want the real muse! they said it would be like the old songs!
especially showbiz elmaga791 This sounds exactly like old songs they can't complain anymore
Listen to the rest of the album and you'll understand. It peaks here.
Lol right?
HalfAlive Not so much to complain about. This one actually sounds like their old stuff.
My god! the lyrics... They tell us exactly what' s happening and nobody (or not much) understand...
Yes
Muse has pretty deep lyrics son.
They saw past the matrix
They’ve been telling us for years. Don’t know wtf happened with the newest album but I’m going to guess it’s about trans humanism and that’s why I don’t like it.
My favourite song from this album ❤❤❤❤
just love how ruff the bass is "handled" here...
just one hour long guitar lesson from matt bellamy would change my life
Oh my that guitar riff, omg the chills!
singing about it soo early, now its all confirmed true
I'm metal fan, so want to say MUSE is one of grate prog metal bands. who else agrres?
✋🏻
Also want to point out to ANY Muse fans here that didn't KNOW what that piece @2:20 was based on. It's ACTUALLY in fact MB's own take on Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. 😌
I agree
They are not exactly metal, more like alternative/hard rock. But yeah, they diversify a lot and touch on many sub-genres or element of rock/metal.
I'm big fan of them by the way. 🤟
The lyrics and images in this are the clearest representation of the MK Ultra/Mind Control I've ever seen or heard in music. There are hints of it everywhere, almost ubiquitous in fact, but this is so overt. It's unusual. I wonder if Muse are speaking from their own experiences or referring to others in this industry that have suffered under this kind of controller/handler and subject relationship.
+Christopher Johnson They've talked about the narrative of the album, which is about a person being controlled by the military/government, but you can draw comparisons into any part of your life. I prefer to think of it as being about mental illness
It's not quite MK Uktra mate, the level of control is the relationship between a soldier and his government. This song is midway into the album where the soldier cuts ties with military. The song that follows this one is where he is AWOL and rejects the governments legitimacy completely.
Packercat17 ProjectVRD MKUltra mind control techniques and practices are derived from the CIA (and military) which has been heavily infiltrated by the occult over the years with an emphasis on luciferian doctrine. Occult practices luciferian doctrine often feature themes and messages that are duality-based. There is a light "accessible" meaning which most of the public perceives, but there is also a dark esoteric meaning. Just google Michael Aquino. This light/dark theme permeates most modern music, almost all songs seem accessible and "poppy" but there is almost always something hidden behind it, a "message for the masses" so to speak, but perceived by few. Another one I can think of off the top of my head is Chandelier by Sia (and her videos even feature sexualized children, another hallmark of the occult).
+Christopher Johnson I agree, I've heard Muse since 2005 but this is the first time I ever heard this song and listened to the lyrics. Right away I thought about MK Ultra. Not only that, but the symbols they show in the video (Alice in Wonderland, the cage, etc).
Could it be possible that, with all his reading into this kind of thing, that Matt wrote this song based on what he's read? Rather than writing about his or other people's experiences, he may well simply have the same knowledge of these things as you do or any other online conspiracy theorist and used that to write the song. I'm sure he saw a lot of strange stuff when introduced to the Hollywood elite, but I still personally think he hasn't directly experienced it.
first time i heard this song i didnt realize the part in the middle was all done on guitar
shay campbell he's tapping
Amos Yong looks more like legato than tapping
It's an Ebow, which when put up against a string sort of emulates the bow on a violin. Add the tapping, and you get the super clean notes. I can see where you didn't thing it was a guitar. To be honest I thought it was a bass part lol XD
really, musicians use that all the time, especially bands like muse
shay campbell it's tapping with a slight wah wah pedal or high resonance filter opening slowly to give those "harmonic overtones". still a great piece of Muse finally ;D
Watching Chris n Matt play the guitar strings like that was so hypnotic💗💗
Well, that is what the song is about 😂
Muse is the sound of the truth!
This song really does something to me. I love it.
Kara W
maybe you are being hypnotized?
Now imagine that happening to me with every song Muse have ever released.
This is the best album they've done since Absolution in my personal opinion.
Couldn't agree with you more
Agreed :) They are going for the throne on this one
no way
Agreed.
It's my favourite album by them, and they're my favourite band of all time.
Who listen to this before 6years? It's a classic!
The guitar in this song...... It's amazing
.......
I saw them live last night at the O2, they're THE BEST live band i have ever seen
Saw them at the o2 with my brother yesterday, phenomenal stuff! Even better than their Download set last year!
Oh my god, it's so good live, saw them yesterday in Manchester and there was like a translucent screen and there was a hand controlling Chris, and another controlling Matt I think (where I was sitting I could only see Chris) using strings like a puppet, it was amazing.
Hi again! I read you comments and you remember me the two dates that I went :') I can feel your emotion in every comment haha
Yeah, the visuals in this song are awesome, I loved the Isolated System intro and then the humanoid controlling Matt and Chris and then the band defeats the Handler, it was one of the best things in the concert :D
Enrique Shrinking Yeah, it was absolutely phenomenal ^-^
You are so bloody lucky!! I sadly am broke & even if I wasn't broke, I have no way of getting to one of their concerts, that is if they were to ever come to North Carolina that is, lol One day though, I am going to go to one ( or more xD ) of their concerts!! & *maybe* even meet them one day!! :D :D
ThatOneAwkwardGirl I hope you get to go to one of their concerts one day, the experience is amazing and I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. I'd also love to meet them one day but I know I'll probably end up fangirling too much and stuttering and whatnot ahaha
Chloe Boulter Awe, thank you!! Hopefully we get to meet them one day :D :D I already stutter a lot, so I will probably do it even more if I were to meet them, lmao
This album is a MASTERPIECE
Powerful
