After three previous fine albums this trio from Teignmouth finally seem to have shaken the Radiohead comparisons with their dynamic new album 'Absolution'. Perhaps best described as a "state-of-the-art" rock band - main dude Matt Bellamy has a real thing for all manner of state-of-the-art gizmos, particularly those relating to his art - Muse deliver epic contemporary rock that employs the same kind of grandeur that has been responsible for defining works such as U2's 'The Joshua Tree' and Radiohead's 'OK Computer'.
Features the excellent singles "Time Is Running Out" and "Sing For Absolution", the soaring and demanding "Stockholm Syndrome", while both "Butterflies And Hurricanes" and "Endlessly" indicate a more melodic and balladic side to this excllent band. |
