That train goes all the way to Citizen Erased. I like 'Drones' just fine, but comparing it to their older records makes me a bit sad. The older lyrical style (OoS - Black Holes) was just less ... silly. The Resistance onwards just seems to be very literal and direct. It's one thing to write about lofty, 'high minded' global issues and interpersonal trauma, but stuff like "I'll be your commander-in-chief" is just so blunt it feels comedic. It feels like all the poetry has leaked out.

AlexF posted:Mercy is so cheesy that it comes back around being awesome, especially live. You can just pump your fist into air to the "Show me MEEEEEERCY" and that's all you really need. I hope it pushes Starlight out of the setlist forever. That is one dull song. I figure as it used to be a show closer, it'll probably be sticking around for a long time. It apparently edges out Knights Of Cydonia for live performances. Unless LP8 has more hits than say, BH&R or Absolution, we'll be hearing Starlight for a lot, lot longer. Speak of setlists, it really sucks that stuff like MK Ultra or Space Dementia is left by the wayside. It's exciting that they crop up now & again for shows, but I think it's a little sad that we all probably have old personal classics that won't show up very often. That being said, Black Holes & Revelations is 10 years old in July. I really hope that they record whatever they do, if they do anything at all.
