[Updated] Muse - Black Holes And Revelations (Mp3 Download) [Updated] Muse
- Black Holes And Revelations (Mp3 Download)



Review by MacKenzie Wilson @ allmusic.com
Naysayers listen up. Teignmouth, England's Muse refuse to be your "next"
Radiohead. Since forming in 1997, this alternative rock trio has continuously
battled comparisons to the famed Oxford group while ambitiously creating a sound
of their own. U.K. fans have praised the group since the albums "Sunburn" and
"Hyper Music" despite it taking Americans until Absolution to discover Muse and
give them their props. Whether or not you championed the grand dramatics of
Absolution, Muse is a solid band and Black Holes and Revelations has totally
come into his own here. He, drummer defines that with a passion. Rich Costey
joins Muse in the co-production of this 11-song set; together they've created
the band's most realized and meticulous album to date. "Take A Bow" sets the
scene immediately; a mesmerizing, full orchestrated rock sound, layered in waves
of synthesizers and percussion, build up to vocalist/guitarist Matthew Bellamy's
aching performance of a world torn apart by it's
own instability. Frequently compared to Queen's Freddie Mercury and Thom Yorke,
BellamyDominic Howard and bassist Chris Wolstenholme appear completely in sync
for the first time, really. Sure, their previous work has shown promise, but
they sound like a complete band on Black Holes and Revelations. Songs such as
the sultry swagger of "Supermassive Black Hole" and the razor-edged paranoia of
"Assassin" are good examples of how adamant Muse is in delivering the biggest
rock & roll package they possibly can. Bellamy howls "You and I must fight for
our rights/You and I must fight to survive" on the riotous Rush-like megalomania
of "Knights of Cydonia," They've totally fought for their craft with this one.
It might have taken four albums for Americans to get it, but with Black Holes
and Revelations, the whole world should be watching.
