Sunday Telegraph 'Seven' 02/07/06
by Ben Thompson
4/5*

With their heroically over-heated fourth album, this Devonian trio - formerly thought of as a kind of Mini-me Radiohead - have made a bold bid to become the new Queen. The latter's 'News of the World' is the obvious template for this unexpectedly amusing blend of eco-angst, pomp-rock and pseudo-disco (the deranged triumphalism of 'Invincible' even makes its claim to be regarded as Muse's 'We Are the Champions'), while the opening track, 'Take a Bow', somehow makes just the kind of grand political statement Radiohead are always promising to but never quite deliver.


"Radiohead mini-yo". xd

Muse go disco. Nation swoons.
by John Earls

Their last two albums have shown Muse as a trio without parallel for sheer ambition. Aware that writing a great pop song is as skilled as creating grandeur, they've matched their sublime musicianship to writing upbeat dance.

It's a sensational move. Their craft is needed for songs as epic in scope as Starlight, but can be easily ignored when you're dancing like a gibbon.
If Supermassive Black Hole is the startling Britney-esque pop song, the Starlight is even poppier.

Built around an addictive Neptunes-ish piano hook, it mutates into Fernando-era ABBA on an intergalactic scale as Matt Bellamy pines for a stranded loved one. So great, it's hard to eulogise about it without sounding like a twonk.

Exo-Politics revisits Bellamy's alien conspiracies, this time to a song as funky as Price at his most sexed-up.

Fans gnashing their teeth at how poppy Supermassive is can rest easy, as Take a Bow is so angry and explosive, it makes Absolution look meek.

Soldier's Poem is the devastating ballad Muse have come to excel at. Matt Bellamy rarely plays the Jeff Buckley card; when he does, it's beautiful.

After the last two glorious albums, Muse have made another quantum leap. No wonder they're so obsessed by aliens. Earth is longer big enough for them.

9/10





La crítica de Msn Entertainment; se centra mucho en el tema Radiohead (por mi madre que pensaba que ya naaaadie hablaría de eso; la crítica es muy buena, eso sí):

Have I Got Muse For You

Rising to prominence in the late '90s, Muse's prog leanings and angsty lyrics won them many fans but little respect from the music press who seemed all too keen to write them off as a poor man's Radiohead. Even Thom Yorke had a pop.

Their new album ought to render the comparison redundant once and for all. For one thing, Radiohead have never produced anything as downright funky as first single 'Supermassive Black Hole'.
--
While the Beck-imitating-Prince electro-rock of first single 'Supermassive Black Hole' is a glorious departure from Muse's previous output, it isn't representative of the new album as a whole. What is does indicate, however, is a band prepared to rip up its own rule book and step out of the comfort zone.

Lyrically, where Muse have always been preoccupied with conspiracy theories and the like, here they are more specific and definitely more angry. Tracks like opener 'Take A Bow' and 'Assassin' leave no doubt as to the object of their fury or the extent to which they advocate going (sample lyric: "Shoot your leaders down and join forces underground").

Elsewhere, the beautiful 'Soldier's Poem' combines orchestration and harmonies Brian Wilson would be proud of (yes, it really is that good) with an explicit anti-war sentiment. Mixing anger and beauty is difficult but they do it throughout.

The conceptual and lyrical raising of the bar is matched by the music. Yes, Matt Bellamy does sound a bit like Thom Yorke but, frankly, so what? Jim Morrison sounded like Frank Sinatra at times but nobody had a go about that. And their musical ambition is finally realised on this album. Queen, Black Sabbath, Prince, The Beach Boys, and, yes, Radiohead, are all mixed up in there but this time in a way that belongs uniquely to Muse. 'Black Holes and Revelations' is the sound of a band fulfilling its potential and it sounds fantastic. 9/10

Por fin alguien hace una referencia ABBA, me daba miedo decir algo al respecto por aquí por temor a los palos XDDD

xd Con el "Absolution" ellos mismos decían mientras grababan el disco que su principal influencia estaba siendo ABBA. ^^ Al final no tiró la cosa por ahí.

Pero sí, con "Starlight" lo veo, aunque me sigo quedando con la comparación a los Smiths (a U2 no los veo ni jarto vino). En fin, pop de alto standing. xd

[Marq]

Cada dia estoy mas enamorado de este disco...

[hygeon]

Yo me quedo más con una mezcla estratosférica!

[Glass]

Yo sigo flipandolo con los directos que habeis puesto estos dias, y con el friki-video de KoC xDD.

[Zwanling]

Acabo de ver el video de KoC, que puta locura, tendre que vermelo mas veces, pero a la primera me ha encantado.
