1. I'm settled in my 7 rating. Not gonna go any higher I'm afraid. It's still better than the 2 previous albums.
  2. WAY better!! They haven't really gone back to "their original sound" as they said in early interviews. They still have that "rock opera" feel about them which may deter some of their old school fans
  3. Album came out today in Aus (thought it wasnt out till next week) giving it a 1st play through now.

    It's a bit weird having already heard the studio versions of the 1st 5 songs before the album is even released.
  4. Did you guys pre-ordered Drones?
  5. Not yet!
  6. CD I think. I don't have a turntable at the moment (it's at my parents') and the artwork (main reason to buy vinyl albums) is not really attractive for me tbh
  7. I like it quite a lot and only gets better with each listen. Aftermath does have some familiar sounds (Pink Floyd, U2's One).
