So fucked up that obimaul is a rarepair. What do you mean not everyone is obsessed with enemies to lovers with a Force connection, where one side is completely obsessed with the other who barely acknowledges him (but is just as affected)

poldark + taylor swift lyrics

dress — reputation

gold rush — evermore

treacherous — red

labyrinth — midnights

tolerate it — evermore

say don't go — 1989 tv

afterglow — lover

the great war — midnights 3 a.m. edition

peace — folklore

this love — 1989

(Oh, I’ll give you a conspiracy. What Makes You Beautiful, Best Song Ever, Kiss You and No Control are all the same guys. My theory? They’re a Boy Band in the Danceverses and every song is like their “era”. I have diagrams for this!)

I'm a Believer

I'm preaching to the converted on this website, but Drones was a really fucking good album. Just because people don't really like Revolt doesn't take away from the fact that it's a solid album. There's long been this belief in the Muse fan community in particular that just because an album has one (1) song that's a bit different, or god forbid, poppy, the whole album is trash, or no OOS, the holy grail.

The singles on Drones: Psycho, Dead Inside, Mercy, Reapers, The Handler, Defector, Aftermath, are all fantastic (I think officially Matt was all, "do singles exist anymore?" but I'm counting anything that was released with a music or lyric video as a "single". 2015 was a strange time! Looking back, it makes so much sense that Muse, who had declared the album "dead" in 2014, would end up coming out with their first proper concept album in 2015, which Matt thought was the only real reason to be doing a traditional album format at all!)

The heavier stuff on Drones is flawless. The "poppier" stuff like Dead Inside, its last verse is gut wrenching ugh. So good. Aftermath as a whole just makes me sob sob sob. And I love Muse trying out new sounds. The sound on Defector and the Handler were a new type of heavy for Muse back in 2015: slow, chugging and heavy rather the faster stuff like on say, New Born or Stockholm Syndrome. It was great to hear them keep exploring and expanding their sound. Matt talked about how the bluesy stuff on Aftermath was completely new to him. I love them for giving it a try, and it works. Everything doesn't have to have a riff or a banger chorus to work as a good song.

The Globalist: epic! Clever! A 10 minute saga! That countdown riff! The whistling! The last piano section, ooh. So good. So classically inspired. And don't even get me started on the song Drones. Four Matts singing in 4-part voice harmony? Incredible. Wonderful. Love it.

Anyway this has been quite a throwaway post, I'll properly review Drones sometime but hey. It's a really fucking good album, and even if you really dislike Revolt, it's still an incredible album. Besides, what's not to like about Revolt. Let Muse have their summer guitar pop song. Let it be ;)

It's a shame owl city hasn't put out anything new in like ten years. But ending on the ultraviolet ep means he at least went out on a good note. Too bad nothing came of that ep

Blitzø would listen to Mother Mother in the 2015 depressed tumblrina way, ykwim?

Like he'd blast Burning Pile at 2 am while fighting the naughtiest fucking demons, he'd listen to Body on loop for 5 hours after the nastiest breakdown, he's pining for Stolas and coping by singing Calm Me Down and Carve a Name, he cries himself to sleep on his van while Happy is playing, my man would not be normal about it.

Matt describing Revolt as "leading a revolution, but in the style of a Broadway musical" makes everything make sense. That explains the slight sheen on the song, vocals and guitars: there's just a bit of campness in this revolution. Of fucking course. Because it's scripted and led by Muse!
