Best Songs On Muse's Drones

The Top Ten
1 Reapers

Easily the best. Handler 2nd probably, and I'm kinda glad Dead Inside is so low on the list, good song but overplayed to death and weak compared to the others.

This song is just awesome! I just heard it and I am now hooked!

One of the hardest solos (in my opinion) out of all muse songs.

Sweet and juicy guitar riff!

2 The Handler

This song is epic. The verses are powerful and the chorus is beautiful. But, the one bad part is the solo. It is very boring and long. But, the greatness of everything else makes up for the solo and forces me to vote this up. This is the best on the album.

It's one of those songs I had to listen to a lot to like. I like it but my favorite is dead inside.

Best Muse song so far! Its perfect!

One of the most interesting, heavy, memorable and overall fun tracks off of this record

3 The Globalist

Honestly this track is so beautifully crafted. Not too heavy, not too soft and was really a compilation of all that made Muse so great throughout the years.

What? Number 5?
I understand that many people don't like progressive rock song. definitely my favourite Muse song along with Citizen Erased and Bliss (though isn't progressive).

Reapers and The Handler are amazing too

I was excited to finally see a ten minute Muse song - until it didn't get as heavy as I hoped it would.

Why is this song only 3rd not 1st and why is revolt below aftermath?

4 Defector

The only truly great song on Drones that is up to Muse standards before they went all Abba on us. What a solo, and that intro guitar riff is so powerful, goosebumps with the JFK epic intro right before it.

If only the entire album was up to the quality of Defector...

5 Psycho

This song sucks, the lyrics are dumb and juvenile and the music is generic and crap, this was the worst song on the album, Drones is in my opinion Muses 2nd best album how is this number 1?

My favorite song from this album! Music is awesome!

Best muse song even

Pure raw energy!

6 Dead Inside

Drones is a bad album. Muse must certainly work more on their lyrics, they seem poor. Dead Inside is the only song that I find listenable. I also like the music video.

7 Mercy

Why is Mercy so far down? This was the BEST song of the album. People rave about Reapers and The Handler, but this song outclasses them by years. And what's wrong with it having traces of Starlight? Starlight was amazing!

Drones is a very odd album. It's half hard rock and half soft rock. This however is the track that seems to blend these two genres together best. It's also easily the best written and most original song on the album.

Never though about it bearing similarity to Starlight but to me it's just a few steps away from Revolt with the chorus vocals.

Isn't that just a Starlight knock-off?

8 Aftermath

Sporting a U2 "One" sound-alike riff, Aftermath most clearly defines the album. While the other songs in Drones are about revolution and loss, Aftermath defines what Matthew Bellamy himself proclaimed the meaning of Drones - the need for human empathy.

Aftermath is the best track on this album, the guitar riff sounds so good!

The bass line makes me think of early Coldplay.

I think this is a fabulous song.

9 Revolt

This was probably my favorite song! Don't understand why it gets so much hate! Defector was brutal! That song is over rated!

Quite different from most muse songs but this song is good.What a bright and hopeful song. This is NOT a easy song.

By far the most forgettable song of the album.

10 Drones

This song isn't good alone, but if you link it with the story, it's pretty powerful especially after The Globalist.

Childish and immature song. Grow up.

Worst song of muse

The Contenders
11 JFK

What? This isn't a song. It's a speech with music in the background. But, this is a good intro to Defector.

It just has so much meaning packed into a one minute song, certainly one of Muse's best.

12 Drill Sergeant

This isn't a song! It's the intro to psycho!

Hey this is the best song!
