That song on The 2nd Law with the distorted robot voice that sounded like someone was shredding a washing machine is still one of the more ridiculous songs I've ever listened to.
I can't believe there are critics saying this isn't total garbage.
Examples? Their churches need to be called

Muse have never been known for quality lyricism, but this is so appallingly bad that I really don't know how anybody on earth can ignore it. I can look past it on Origin of Symmetry or Absolution because half the time the garbage lyrics are completely incoherent and unintelligible anyway. This garbage is all too coherent - and all too monotonous, which makes it worse than the last couple of albums where the overly coherent garbage at least addressed more than one topic. This is just DRONES DRONES DRONES droooone drone I AM A DRONE MAKING YOU A DRONE SO YOU CAN DRONE AT DRONES WHILE DRONING DRONE-DRONE DROOOOONE.
Muse do the metallic pop filler for me. In a way, they are what Queen would be had they still been playing today. Unashamed, over the top, operatic rock theatrics. Queen had some great lyrics, but like Muse here, they're mostly cheesy. So, I'm not in it for the lyrics with these types of bands. Let me in the sound instead.
I really like this album. The drill sarge bits and the JFK stuff can make me cringe. I'll end up skipping Psycho and Defector a lot because of this. This is all that I have against this album. The overall heavier sound is most welcoming. Reapers and the Handler are ones I most look forward to on the tour.
I can't believe anybody bought this album.
Muse should have paid 84,000 people for suffering through this album.
I think there's cause for a class action compensation lawsuit.
I just heard on XM a bit ago that Drones was the first #1 debut for Muse here in the USA, only 84k sold though, can't believe that's enough for the top spot but these are the times we live in i suppose.
you're obviously dead inside
Would you say I'm a fuckin' psycho?
Not really, i might consider you to be more of a Drone.
