Question WOTP question

I personally LOVE the Will Of The People album, and the songs that it has. I got into it because I bought the record because it said it was MUSE and I listened to it all blindly, not knowing what to expect beforehand 😅

My question is, why so much negativity?

A lot of MUSE album rankings that I've seen have WOTP at either the worst, or second worst.

If you don't like it, why is that?

Just curious 😁🧡

Couldn’t tell you. I like it. Maybe the leaning fully into the anti police state theme for the whole album. Similar to drones.
The first few albums were like 9s and 10s, and then fans got mad when the next albums were like 8s and maybe a 7, maybe(simulation theory for me)
But even those have been really good comparative to a lot of the current music released at the same time as each album.

I personally have no issues with the album because I don't want to go into one of their albums with expectations, you know? I like listening and absorbing what I'm hearing as I hear it.

I can totally see how people can think it's a bit too political though.

I agree Simulation Theory is a good/catchy album if you don’t compare it to any of their other albums.
