Description
2021 repress, 12″ LP, Warner Brothers.
It was recently Elon Musk who told us that there’s a “one in billions” chance that we’re not living in a computer simulation right now, and to popularise that theory even more Warner presents Muse at arguably their biggest. It’s the mega-band’s follow-up to their 2015 Drones LP and Nostradamus-like themes are once again at play in the subtle neo-anarchist tendencies of Muse’s end of the world sound, although this time around electronic, EDM and Tron influences are at the forefront of their production. A distinctly colourful, vibrant and hyperactive listen compared to their last full length, and seemingly light years on from their seminal 2001 album, Origin Of Symmetry, Muse send us streaming into a new void that’s as exhilarating and it is terrifying. – Juno
