Hey guys, so I've been studying this album artwork pretty closely since this album dropped back in 2015, and I think I might've just happened upon something that could be a game-changer.
I'm sure we all noticed the guy in the middle, who appears to be in control of the drones on the screen. There has been some speculation that this could perhaps be a subtle dig at our capitalist society, and the "drones" represent the general populace - that is, you and me.
However, take a closer look and the picture reveals something that would make even the most jaded individual lean back in awe and tip their hats to this inspired band. You see, I believe the head of this 'controller' figure is actually meant to be... another lever. I'll just give you some time to think about that for a second. Imagine, a society not only consisting of drones, but run by drones too. Really examine that head, and you will see - I know, it sounds crazy but hear me out - YES. Another hand.
Not only that, but this larger hand-lever combo appears to be identical in nature to the original hand-lever combo that we all noticed straight away. And it disappears off-screen into an unknown void. The implication being that this cycle of drones is potentially limitless - an endless vortex of drones controlling drones controlling drones controlling drones.
Anyway, those were just some of my thoughts. I'm sure the naysayers will come flocking, but the proof is right there in the picture. Truly, this band is infinitely more multifacted and complex than we could have even begun to imagine.
Still better than Radiohead
holy shit! i never noticed, but i'm not that into complex music like muse... i have few of there vinyls though, and their grate!

damn.......
>>64156529
was there ever any doubt about this? radiohead put out meaningless drivel unlike muse who put out truly Deep music with a strong message.
>>64156514
That is fucking amazing...OP do you think the "drones" you reference are perhaps why the album is also titled "drones"? My mind is fucking blown.

>2015
holy shit. i remember seeing this album cover posted a few months ago and legitimately assumed it was like 15 years old. that's embarrassing.

>OP do you think the "drones" you reference are perhaps why the album is also titled "drones"?
I don't want to say anything this early in the game, but I was thinking along those lines.
>>64156514
What if... the listener was the drone the entire time?
I bet op giggled really hard the entire time he took to type this and then sat back with a satisfied grin after he posted it.
>>64156763
yup x)
:)
>>64156763
I wouldn't say giggled - the heady euphoria of being the one to discover this deeper meaning wasn't quite that intoxicating - but the satisfied grin is certainly accurate. This could be our generation's DSOTM/ Wizard of Oz

Please, once you get a chance to thoroughly research this, let us know.

Even if the concept is simple it has a really great impact, and it's an amazing album (one of their best). Not sure if they are better than Radiohead, but i like them
>>64156514
The guy in the black sut represents the jews. Muse know.
>To me, "Drones" are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behaviour with no recourse. The world is run by Drones utilizing Drones to turn us all into Drones. This album explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors.
What did he mean by this?
I don't see it. Can you draw a diagram?
i thought the album cover was very sexual

Here you go. Remember, this is just my interpretation, other people may view it differently (please contribute if you do!)
>>64159483
HOLY SHIT
I SEE THE LIGHT

Also I've included a side-by-side comparison of the 'hands'. To the left is the controller's head, the right is an enlarged version of his hand. There is some loss of quality due to the pixels but notice the similarities.
>>64159483
guys i'm scared
Did it take you this long to notice this?
>>64159670
There's always one claiming to be ahead of the curve.
I'm not sure how you could have the gall to claim to have noticed this before when no-one else did and there's no mention of it online. Please don't try and appropriate my innovative approach to critical thinking and deductive reasoning.

I dunno what you're smoking mate but I think you're looking way to closely at this. It's just a guy playing an arcade game.

this, take it to /x/ you tinfoil hat wearer
>Really examine that head, and you will see - I know, it sounds crazy but hear me out - YES. Another hand.
Is true. The head was hand.
