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

[customcuber]

*listens to Phyco* "This is the best song in the album!"

*listens to Dead Inside* "This is the best song in the album!"

*listens to Mercy* "This is the best song in the album!"

*listens to Reapers* "This is the best song in the album!"

*listens to The Handler* "This is the best song in the album!"

See the trend?

I feel like the bassist work on this song is very underappreciated. There a lot of little parts that give me chills.

[nd_Law]

anyone else speechless about how insane that bass tone is?

[rachenar]

Muse is the best contemporary rock band, period.

[lucas]

Undeniably the best song of the album ...

[laylette]

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.

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"

I THINK THIS SONG IS ONE OF MY TOPS... Along with Showbiz and Futurism... And shrinking universe... And sunburn... And every other muse song...

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.

[deathwitheponine]

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.

[davidtheguitarman]

Matt's musical skills are incredible.

[shitney]

We must thank Chris for this amazing bass!

[humanbiying]

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 <3

Drones certainly isn't my favorite Muse album, but Reapers and The Handler are both in my top 10 favorite songs by these guys.

"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

[Sacredriver]

respect for the victims and knowers, who see beyond this as an ordinary song, those who know the truth.

[duperrec]

[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

[tukychannel]

Absolutely the best song of the album!
