Synthesizers boom in a low register while Bellamy’s voice floats above in falsetto. Its inspiring of opposite reactions is likely due to the atypical sound. “Supermassive Black Hole,” has been both praised and criticized. At any rate, Muse has become a worldwide phenomenon, selling out three consecutive nights of shows at Wembley Stadium, and they are utilizing their popularity to inspire their fans to do something. As harsh as this message might sound, it pales in comparison to the call to arms in “Assassin,” where “the time has come for you to shoot your leaders down.” Ouch. He tells our current leaders that they will “burn in hell for their sins.” The question is whether he is speaking to Bush or Blair. In “Butterflies and Hurricanes,” on the Absolution album, Matt Bellamy sings, “Best… you’ve got to be the best… you’ve got to change the world and you use this chance to be heard.” He certainly heeds his own advice, as is evidenced in the politically charged lyrics of “Take a Bow,” opening song on the new Black Holes and Revelations album. The lead singer, Mathew Bellamy, makes love with his voice and it makes you feel and dream. "SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE" needs to be a dance hit. Hypnotic like good wine and a great kiss. The space between song #2 "STARLIGHT" and song #3 "SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE" is one of the most perfect choices in the history of music. MUSE has a staggering stamina of switching up tempo, sensuality, the driving percussion, passionate guitars and the beautiful harmonies. MUSE = Dominic Howard, Mathew Bellamy & Chris Wolstenholme.īlack Holes and Revelations is like good Tantra. Winners of the 2006 Q Award for the Best Live Band and UK's Festival Awards - Best Rock Act & Best Headline Act, MUSE is superb both live and recorded. Whispers and visions of QUEEN, TRAVIS, JEFF BUCKLEY and DEPECHE MODE came to ear while listening to MUSE's latest album Black Holes and Revelations. MUSE hits Hypnotic High with Black Holes & Revelations If you don't like it, then it's just not for you. You might look up the lyrics on the net to see if that appeals and some sites allow sound bytes so you can try out a track before buying. There's no "sameness" to it, all of the tunes are distinctly different or unique. Some of the tunes have hints of a Spanish rhythm here or there.
For those who like lyrics with political or social messages about the state of the world, Muse has that in here too, but with music this good if you don't care for the message, you might just enjoy the craftsmanship on the music. I liked the slower tunes on Muse's CD too. Generally I don't listen to music with a 'slow' beat, rhythm, or tempo, since I use the music to hortate my work day at the art table and for writing projects to aid the fast-forward pacing of my mental 'metronome.' But I can say that the few slower tempo songs tossed in now and then help the listener to catch their breath, even if they're not into the dance. I love it and would buy Muse again just on the basis of this one album. Most of the songs have some sort of spacey feel to them, aside from the abovementioned, and satisfying to me since the theme appeals to those like me who enjoy thinking of futuristic 'stuff,' space and UFOs. "Hoodoo" is one of the slow tunes and has a dreamlike quality that is sad in tone, but would make a great slow dance tune if you don't listen too closely to the lyrics. If you're the type to pay attention to the lyrics, those 'romantic' tunes ma y not be so romantic as melodic, because there's a sort of political message to some of the songs, like in "Soldier's Poem." "Invincible" has a patriotic tone to it, music and lyrics included. But then the tempo slows to a pseudo-romantic mode that reminds me of old slow dance tunes of 60's or 50's, and am sure that's deliberate.
I'm into *spacey* themes and this was definitely loaded with *spacey stuff.* The music on some tracks has dynamic fast-forward rhythms that (like another reviewer said) would make great modern dance tunes and you'll want those at high listening levels if you can get away with it. This was my first intro to Muse, and I was lured to buy when I heard the Knights of Cydonia track, which starts out with the sound of running horses like a cavalry charge (or knights charging into battle on their destriers, if you want to look at it that way.).
