Muse-resistance

Muse-the resistance (2009) This album is 7 years old that is actually very frightening in terms of time as it seems like it did not come out that long ago. With Muse this album is where their classical side of their sound really comes to the fore. In a way its like a concept album and is quite progressive in nature. I also think its one of those albums that people will look back on in many years time and realize its one of those albums where everything a band works for comes together. The album starts with 'Uprising ' and 'Resistance', these versions are really good on the Glastonbury 2010 concert. The album then follows with an almost kind of Depeche mode feel track called 'Undisclosed desires'. The album then goes into 'united states of Eurasia' which is quite political and very classical but also in a rock sense, it brings to mind at certain points the flam bouncy of Queen(the band). The tracks 'Unnatural selection' and ' MK Ultra' are Muse at their powerful best, on a clip shown at time at the making of the album the latter track had a clip of Steve Vai, maybe that track was influenced by that artists. After all these tracks it goes into Exogenesis Sythmphony which in three parts is very orchestral and is the prefect ended to the album. I think the album works as a complete whole which goes up and down in terms of tempo and power. It is the sound of Muse embracing their influences. I still have visions of Muse being like Rush in about 20 years time. Where there will be this rich body of work from many different styles. By then they will be touring band. I could be wrong but they have probably took what Rush done and are moving it on still further. Their new album 'Drones' does have some good tracks, so their sound is still evolving.
