Muse
A Day At The Opera - The Listening-Session

muse are back. their new album "black holes and revelations" arrives in july - and it's their fourth, if you don't count the live-retrospective "hullaballoo".
in mid april matthew bellamy, chris wolstenholme and dominic howard invited numerous reporter to a listening session into the fancy castle bensberg near cologne. a worthy ambient, because since recently muse aren't the boarding pupil version of radiohead anymore, now they sing bohemian rhapsodies. intro recorded it for you.

it starts with the familiar big gesture: synthie-bombast starts the new album, a dramatic in highest hights swelling crescendo(which means swell), only bellamy's voice brings us back to the ground.
or rather getting us involved: he promises "you'll burn in hell", and then "take a bow" bows out with queen-choirs. you already get an idea what's going to come. the first real surprise follows immediately: "starlight" is a loose dance-track, with a bit electronic underneath and could have been on an A-ha-album. "our hopes and expectations / black holes and revelations" - the lyrics ruin the party: muse have always been esoterically transfigured. strong track, absolutely untypical and probably the second single.

if there's a second single, there has to be a first single and this song finally affirms that muse are serious: "supermassive black hole" is a heavy-funk-monster and tramps on big paws over the dancefloor. matthew bellamy imitates prince and sings "uh yeah" and "baby". you wouldn't have expected such a song from muse, despite the long discussions in the net, we can be anxious to see if it works as single.atleast if your name isn't prince. "map of the problematique" continues there, though not as obvious and without the crowbar. again careful arranged, but more discreet choirs and space-synthies, which let depeche mode gleam between the lines, surprise.

and the colourful round dance(german saying) goes on: "a soldier's poem" doesn't only open new areas with it's jazz-broom and the barbershop-singing, it's the first explicit political song from matthew bellamy too, in which he describes the everyday life of a soldier in the (iraq-)war. a short song, probably because the following "invincible" delivers the second part in it's early phase, which stands on it's on though. you notice it in the content, because it gets induced by a marchrhythm, in that way it connects both and it swells till the end. "tonight we can truly say: together we're invincible". a lovesong, probably.

as if that all wasn't enough, a true speed metal-riff with system of a down-seal raids us. "assassin" sounds as brutal as the title implies, the short keyboard-intro reminds on blissful videogame days, on a NES-boss, and is similiar dramatic. as cherry on the cake follows the best queen interpretations since years: the vocal performance is almost a bit impudent.

"exo politics" describes the interaction between politics and extraterrestrial(or alien) intelligence and delivers room for all sorts of conspiracy-theories.
a kind of hobby of bellamy, which rides on a class-a franz ferdinand-riff(a pun in german). probably heard it in a disco in new york.

"city of delusion" rides too, but into the sunset. a flamenco-guitar, violins and not only I take down "morricone!" in my notebook. while you ask yourself, where it all is going to end, already the certainty: that was just the beginning again, the next track "hoodoo" combines texmex-influences somehow with rachmaninow, I still don't understand how, but that's how it goes nowadays with muse. I don't want to be misunderstood: that was for the most part phantastic already. the last song "knights of cydonia" can't change anything on that, which comes back to queen again. wide-scale "ahhs" in the refrain, a doubled and tripled matthew bellamy. my swiss colleague writes down Iron maiden", because of the rider-guitars in the beginning, but that's a bit too much. you can exaggerate it too.(relating to the swiss colleague)

"city of delusion"(...) a flamenco-guitar (...)"



Este sabado la prueba de fuego, primer concierto de la gira y retrasmitido en directo por la BBC.

[Dross]

A mí la canción más que a Prince me recuerda a Depeche Mode.

[Marq]

Lo que es la musiquita si tiene un aire poperro depechero pero la voz es muy soul-falsete princera... "El artista antes conocido como Muse" XDDDD

[Raham]

Weno weno, escuché ayer el tema (gracias bokeron ) y bueno, no es un mal tema... pero desde luego si fuera el primer tema que escuchase de Muse, no me engancharía con ellos como lo hice con el OOS.

De hecho dudo que me engancharía con un tema como este xD pero falta ver el disco. Vamos, que sin ser malo (y yo personalmente valoro sus intenciones de cambio y experimentación) está muy por debajo de sus posibilidades desde mi punto de vista.

[Adzero]

Pues va a ser que no, acabo de comprobarlo y lo que pillo es la BBCWorld, que es solo de noticias. Acabo de mirar la programacion del sabado y nada, todo news y reportajes sobre Da Vinci...

[molul]

Está chula la canción. Imaginad que no son Muse, que son un grupo nuevo que no conocéis de nada. A mí me ha molao cómo suena. No es la polla aún, pero crece. Además, me mola Prince
