Kerrang!Jun 3, 2015The result is a claustrophobic classic that sharpens the focus of what is possible in the name of high-minded rock. [6 Jun 2015, p.50]
-
Jun 8, 2015Muse’s seventh album is--happily--anything but diminished.
-
Jun 8, 2015Unsurprisingly, they double down on Drones to satisfying effect. That means broad strokes, big beats, and expertly placed electronic filips and vocal processing as the band explores its big themes in ways both satisfyingly corrosive, such as the speedy metal riffage of “Reapers,” and oddly saccharine, as on the somewhat corny and generic uplift of “Revolt.” Muse fares better when churning out inspiring head bangers where nuance isn’t a major factor.

Jun 4, 2015Great in parts, but flat and clumsy in others, Bellamy’s bid to become more serious appears to have stunted what he does best, which is operatic excess fuelled by volcanic emotion.
-
Jun 9, 2015For now, Drones can be chalked up as one step forward, one step back for this British trio.
-
Jun 8, 2015There are snatches of salvation, but every time Drones aims for dystopian profundity, it hits Styx-level goofiness. [12 Jun 2015, p.74]
-
Jun 30, 2015Aside from a few crunching riffs and a smattering of neat melodies, there’s very little to recommend within Drones.
