The Resistance – Muse

Posted by Brendan Clarke on September 22nd, 2009

Electronic meets symphony in an eclectic, energetic, vibrant and stimulating album. Muse finally brings us The Resistance, which I have been listening to extensively.

Heavy beats, gritty riffs, curdling synthesisers and dramatic orchestral pieces help shapes this truly original album, which seem to be laid out into a modern rock opera. From classic elements to even parts of what could have easily be something from Queen.

Not all of the songs are quite as strong as they could have been. I’d say this album is a defining moment of their career, up there with Absolution and Origin of Symmetry.
