Muse - Drones

Drones is the seventh studio album by the English rock band Muse, released on 5 June 2015 in Europe and 8 June in the United Kingdom under Warner Bros. Records and Helium-3. It was recorded between October 2014 and April 2015 at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, co-produced by the band and Robert John "Mutt" Lange.

Drones is a concept album following the protagonist's journey from abandonment to indoctrination as a "human drone" and eventual defection. After their previous albums had incorporated orchestral and electronic music, Muse aimed to return to a more straightforward rock sound.

Drones received mixed reviews; many critics praised the instrumentation but criticised the concept and lyrics. It won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. Drones debuted at number one in the UK Albums Chart (where it became Muse's fifth consecutive number-one album), the US Billboard 200 chart, and several other countries. It sold over a million copies worldwide in 2015, making it the 19th best-selling album of the year.
