Drones is indeed a concept album, but until the song Aftermath, it's told from the perspective of a girl who is forced to become a "drone" and eventually rebels. The last two tracks are instead told from the perspective of a crazy dictator who wants to rule the world and ends up destroying it. The track is, according to Matt, Citizen Erased 2 but with the opposite theme, where in CE you had a person losing themselves inwards, The Globalist is about megalomaniac ambitions exploding outwards uncontrollably. According to them, it was the hardest track to record, that slide section took them 31 takes! Also, this is the longest single track they've made (i say single because, if you're in the vein for another long journey, i recommend the Exogenesis Symphony (part.1 Overture, part.2 Cross-Pollination and part.3 Redemption which combined clock in at around 13 minutes). Anyways, love your input as always. It's insane that for how good a musician you are you'd never properly listened to Muse.
The third part on the piano is heavily drawn from Elgar’s Nimrod from the Enigma Variations which is played at the annual Remembrance Parade in London and is reflective of the narrative of the song that it is played after the Apocalyptic element following the countdown. When played live it was complemented by scenes of devastation and resurrection from the ashes.
It's so cool to listen to you. Talking about all You know and your experience. You are a very nice guy. I realy like You and your contents lml. Thanks a lot Gabriel!
They have a few longer tracks relatively. Exogenesis: Symphony Pt. 1, 2 and 3 together clocks in at 12:11min. That piece of work off of The Resistance album is more a "meal" than a song though. Hopefully we get there down the line. 🤘
Agree completely with the comment below, love listening to you, such a calm voice and then your excitement! I think I've mentioned before...when you have time, lay back with headphones and listen to album in one sitting. It's so beautifully made. Thanks for enjoying MUSE so much! My all time favourite band, they have gotten me through 20 years of ups and downs and everything in between 😊
Fantastic breakdown of this as per usual. At this rate you’re going to go through their entire lineup, so I’m looking forward to seeing what you think of all the crazy different songs Matt and co. comes up with. Edit: Although don’t feel pressured you have to listen to _everything_ of Muse, though many of us wouldn’t object. I loved to listen along with your Sahara reaction as Satriani is also one of my favourite artists.
Awesome! I'm just going through the recs right now, probably will end up covering the catalogue. I'll also be doing more of Satriani when he releases new stuff.
Been loving your Muse reactions, especially how quickly you pick up what key the song's in when the low guitar's introduced! Would love to hear what you think about Biffy Clyro songs like That Golden Rule - great combination of hardcore, rock and pop influences in some of their songs :)
Dude, youve got perfect pitch. I have it too and like to point out when my friends start humming songs in the wrong key lol. The Globalist’s nice but I have to be in the mood for it. Not an everyday song.
Is perfect pitch only knowing what key a song is exactly or also being able to sing or play at the exact notes, regardless of one's musical theory knowledge?
It’s knowing the note or key played without hearing a reference first. There are different levels to peferct pitch, but you cant learn it with music theory if you dont have it in the first place.
You haven't tried the songs from the album The Resistance, give it a try, the songs on this album are huge, Uprising, Resistance, United States of Eurasia, Unnatural Selection, and Trilogy Exogenesis Symphony.
Woow, thats very impressive, I Guess it would be realy awesome to Discover a band like Muse. That hapened to me when i discover Queen or Pink Floyd (here in Mexico they don't sound to much in the radio). My mind blowed up.
Thank you! Definitely heard them before, but the only two tracks I heard were Uprising and Madness which never piqued my interest enough to dive into their catalogue. At the moment I'm not in writing mode too much so not much I guess is inspiring me in that sense. I also haven't been listening to them much outside of the videos because I like listening to records top to bottom, so after I get through more of their catalogue I'm sure Ill be listening to them and getting inspired.
You've definitely heard the three best songs on this album now imo. I think this song works best if you include the final track as an outro. Really ties the whole thing together.
Check out Up the Junction by Squeeze. Very charming song, it's basically a story, made into a song. Pretty unique structure too, doesn't have a chorus. It's fun to listen to. There's a great unplugged version here ruclips.net/video/udomZM40vTI/видео.html
Because it’s not a pop song or a commercial song. It’s a piece of music and I think the long heavy part is justified, it literally reflects a period of destructive war. Without context I understand the comment but I think Matt had other things in mind when writing this story (Drones album) from start to finish.
This could be three songs, I just don't like the transitions. But people think the song is good because is long and because Matt said it could be Citizen Erased 2. I don't think so.
Because it’s not just a song. It tells a story, the long build up maybe unnecessary in many many pieces of music but is perfect for this song. Matt Bellamy thinks very carefully about why every part of his song is how it is, the song is about war and the outcome of a dictator going insane causing such destruction. Almost the dictator having a moment of sanity at the end realising what he’s created.
I get many requests some might not necessarily be the most requested just ones that I got first. I'll more than likely get through the entire catalogue at some point, that's just going to take me a while.

The lyrics at the end always get me, feels like Matt looking at the world and having no hope left
It's a very bleak song.
Yeah, the “there’s no culture left” always gets me.

Thank you! and wow! Fascinating, I love concept records. Kind of makes me wish I listened to this one sequentially.
@@gmetzgermusic probably it'd be faster if you reacted to entire albums instead of each song individually then
Yeah Exo-Genesis is one that needs to be done.
@@SkarrGaming It's on my list to do!
@@gmetzgermusic yeah.. exogenesis all 3 parts in one sitting please

That’s awesome! I’ll have to checkout a live version of the song.

I appreciate that! Thank you!

Definitely will do that one! (or three haha)

Definitely will listen to these front to back once I finish the reactions.

Man.... never missed your muse reaction... it keeps pop up in my recommendation... even i didnt sub you.
The final part of the song is based on the Nimrod piece by Elgar, always knew I recognized the music first time I heard this song😁
That's awesome!

I will try to squeeze that into check it out! No promises though.
Another incite-full breakdown Gabriel, enjoyed your take on this one.
Thank you!

The Globalist’s nice but I have to be in the mood for it. Not an everyday song.
Definitely do not have perfect pitch. I just listen to probably too much music. 😂
@@gmetzgermusic Ok haha. I assumed so since youve got the key of the song correct in every Muse video so far.
Is perfect pitch only knowing what key a song is exactly or also being able to sing or play at the exact notes, regardless of one's musical theory knowledge?
It’s knowing the note or key played without hearing a reference first. There are different levels to peferct pitch, but you cant learn it with music theory if you dont have it in the first place.
I love watching your reactions my man, you are really knowledgeable thanks for being a decent lad 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words.
A few other MUSE songs to check out from different times of their career - Muscle Museum, Glorius and Thought Contagion.
I just did Muscle Museum!: ruclips.net/video/rKEIHPmWr5Y/видео.html
You haven't tried the songs from the album The Resistance, give it a try, the songs on this album are huge, Uprising, Resistance, United States of Eurasia, Unnatural Selection, and Trilogy Exogenesis Symphony.
Mk Ultra is also a banger
I'll be doing one off of Resistance soon.
I think this is Muse's finest song. An absolute masterpiece.
Definitely one of my favorites!
Once again live is amazing.
Yep! I watched a live video of this song. Incredible!
Although the countdown is counting down the drop still murders.
Absolutely!
this song has three parts..it's muse's bohemian rhapsody
Awesome!
I like your comments on tracks of Muse. Can't believe you had never ever heard of them before, but do you get inspired by their music?
Woow, thats very impressive, I Guess it would be realy awesome to Discover a band like Muse. That hapened to me when i discover Queen or Pink Floyd (here in Mexico they don't sound to much in the radio). My mind blowed up.

Is the final track just an outro piece?
Turn on the bright lights please!!
I don’t have much control over lighting in my room since it’s a dorm.
Anyone else get Kill bill vol 2 vibes from the intro?
Another Muse recommendation, Con-science.
I will add it to the list.
This is Muse does Bohemian rhapsody, though much more derivative.
🤟
Muse - Uno live astoria 2000 pls
Uno studio version is on my list of ones to do.
Dude, the heavy part of this song not in drop A, it is played in standart tuning, both the bass and guitar.I can play this part on bass.
Oh wow. Really sounded like guitar to me. Awesome bass tone!
@@gmetzgermusicIt is played on a 7 string guitar tho
Please do The Jesus and mary Chain - Here Comes Alice

Always pissed me off they cut the heavy part of the song waaaaay too early. Don't really know what they were thinking with that one tbh
Always could use more heavy, but still a great song nonetheless!
Because it’s not a pop song or a commercial song. It’s a piece of music and I think the long heavy part is justified, it literally reflects a period of destructive war. Without context I understand the comment but I think Matt had other things in mind when writing this story (Drones album) from start to finish.
This could be three songs, I just don't like the transitions. But people think the song is good because is long and because Matt said it could be Citizen Erased 2. I don't think so.
Ah really, I didn’t mind the transitions.
I don't like Globalist as much tbh. People give it a lot of praise, but to me it is an unsatisfying buildup
I agree the build might be a little too long, but the rest of the song I really like!
Because it’s not just a song. It tells a story, the long build up maybe unnecessary in many many pieces of music but is perfect for this song. Matt Bellamy thinks very carefully about why every part of his song is how it is, the song is about war and the outcome of a dictator going insane causing such destruction. Almost the dictator having a moment of sanity at the end realising what he’s created.
Who is recommending these songs there are so many better than those
I get many requests some might not necessarily be the most requested just ones that I got first. I'll more than likely get through the entire catalogue at some point, that's just going to take me a while.
@@gmetzgermusic Thank you. Regardless I enjoy your reaction especially Muse reaction. Keep up the good work ✌️
@@ahabbellamy8098 thank you! Will do.
