My friend GB recommended this band’s newest release last night and to be honest with you I had never really paid attention to this band.
Then it turns out they were on the MTV Video Music Awards the other night but darn, I stopped watching that show years ago.
Found their music online and took a listen. I’m digging what I’m hearing.
Muse are a twist of Queen and Radiohead and U2 and Classical Music. Somehow the combination is good progressive rock meat pie.
This sound is definitely fresh and welcomed right about now. Most new music is bland in my opinion.
Their first single is Uprising. Lyrics that speak of liberty but not in a preachy way are core to the success of this song. Bouncy and slightly poppy, this song should be a hit.
My fave song on the album is United States of Eurasia. This is the song with a strong Queen homage. I look forward to seeing them (fingers crossed) live when they open for U2 next month.
So if I had to rate this album, after only two listens, I would give them 3.5 stars out of five. Every song is familiar yet fresh and I was left wanting more.
Give them a listen why don’t ya???
