CD - Muse: The 2nd Law


They penned the official single for the London Olympics, Survival, but other than that, the music world has been missing Muse since 2009’s, The Resistance, their most popular album to date and praised for its classical influences and melodic melancholy, but the Devonshire trio are back and have taken a new direction with their sixth album, The 2nd Law.

They’ve moved forward, experimented and dabbled in new genres, including dubstep, house and electronica, but their new sound comes off a little radio-friendly which won’t please their original alternative-rock fan-base who liked Plug In Baby turned up so loud that their ears bled.

Muse can always be relied on to put on a good show and The 2nd Law is certainly an album made to be toured, with some of the more eclectic arrangements definitely sounding as though they ought only to be heard live.
