Black Holes And Revelations

[Shortcut To Moncton]

Anyone else get the chance to listen to the new Muse album? I'll tell you one thing is that it's pretty different--apparently, the band did a lot of "clubbin'" over the past few years (I kid you not) and they decided to add "club techno" into their style. I would say that overall, I was pretty impressed but I'm not sure if it's better than Origin Of Symmetry or Absolution.

 

It's nice to see bands take risks, that's for sure. I would rather have a band alienate their audience by trying something radically different than to recreate an album already made in their discography, *cough* Tool.

Yeah, I havent' heard it yet but I think I'll check it out. Even though their first single sounded like they borrowed from Britney Spears.

[borntohula]

i didnt even know they were done yet. when's it out?

[Jarrod]

I loved Absolution (I'm just tired of it now)

 

I shall listen to this sometime in the future!

[Shortcut To Moncton]

i didnt even know they were done yet. when's it out?

July 11th, 2006 for the US

and

July 3rd in the UK.

 

Judging by how the latest albums from Silverchair and Idlewild were released, this cd will come out in Canada on the 4th.

What's the first single called?

[trufflepig]

supermassive black hole (!)

Well, now that it's out.. I've been listening to it over and over at work and I'm not too sure what to think yet, its certainly not the Muse I'm used to.

 

Some people are calling it a masterpiece "Muse's OK Computer" and others think that it's total crap. Right now I fall in the middle somewhere. Its just ok. Maybe it will grow on me..

 

Best songs? I'd say Starlight, Supermassive black hole, Map of the problematique, Invinsible

Such a good album!!

[thewickernightmare]

okay, not enough people are talking about this album, this is such a phenomenal album, it is so epic in sound...i would say 'bombastic' is a good word to describe it

 

seriously people, album of the year...now scram and go buy this thing..........

[burl]

I love this album and I think it will be awsome live, can't wait for detroit(sarcastic), but I do like the state theatre.

[primetime_deliverance]

I take it all back, this album ruuuuuuules.

[deadstar]

still trying to get into it. I'm seeing them next week (1st time this tour, 5th time overall, squeeee) and the tracks are only starting to hit me now. I'll probably love it as soon as I hear 'em live.

[Audio of Being]

this has been one of the best cds i have heard in quite sometime, i really do like muse, and by far this may end up being one of my favorite albums by them. it is so radically different from the others, which are also some of my fav cds as well.

[Gibby]

Just picked it up. Im impressed, the production on the album is amazing. Digging the different vibes on the album. Very cool, it'll be in my car for quite a while.

[primetime_deliverance]

Saw them live last night in Toronto. Rough crowd, but easily the best band I've ever seen live. They ROCKED. New Born and Plug in Baby back to back was orgasmic. Knights of Cydonia to finish of the encore was amazing (we galloped, lol) Their lighting and stage setup was mindblowing.. what a spectacular performance.

[Shiri]

I'm jealous. So jealous.
