I really liked this album. Previously they’ve done a single genre really well but here they are pulling for so many influences and it’s a lot of fun.
I’m a bit meh on this one tbh, I feel like the songs are either overly heavy verging on nu-metal or a straight up pop ballad. I wish there was a little more cohesion. Favorite song is either won’t stand down for being a heavy but still muse-like operatic song, or liberation for being a queen rip-off. Favorite music video is the Halloween one because it’s basically a series of Easter eggs

I tend to prefer nu-metal Muse over ballad Muse.

Definitely agree with you there, but the muse I fell in love with is prog rock/prog metal/melodic metal muse.
But I do have a soft spot for madness, which is arguably poppy…in fact I think the version of that song I like most is a mashup, so obviously my opinions are trash
Edit: it’s this mashup DJ Y alias JY - Teardrop Madness (Muse / Massive Attack) - YouTube
The songs that have been out are much more appealing now than initial listens. Definitely all over the place musically but surprisingly not a bad thing in my opinion. Other than Liberation I’m digging the rest of the album
Other than the “Halloween” Rockwell ripoff the rest of this album has grown on me, even the slower theatrical ballads.
This is a good watch

Amazing how much “Break it to Me” sounds like a Korn song from the early 00’s.

US tour announced. Not one Bay Area date. WTF. First time I’ve seen a band skip the Bay for a massive new album tour.
Might have to hit the Philly date. I’ve yet to see them.

After looking at the dates there’s a big break April 13-15 which includes an entire weekend. And that’s right between Anaheim and Portland. Guessing the Bay Area date just hasn’t been announced yet.

Bought our tickets for Columbus this morning and booked a hotel.

And there’s the Bay Area date. April 14. Probably delayed the announcement due to Coachella happening at that same time. Safe to assume Muse will be at Coachella.

A full third of our group of 6 seeing them in Columbus is more excited about seeing Evanescence…lol
That’s insane. I actually like the Evanescence hits and listened to that one album a little in high school but it was pretty forgettable. Muse is a rock juggernaut.
