I love this album, most specifically the lyrics -
@fredriley what about United States Of Eurasia? and thank you for your post
If you like music that relates back to Orwell's 1984, check out the EBM band VNV Nation. Specifically the album Futureperfect (although pretty much all of their songs/lyrics touch on the theme). They even use samples from the film 1984. |

What I'd not realised until looking at the lyrics is that much of it is based on Orwell's 1984, hence the songs about resistance and uprising. A really big sound. Award-winning album cover too, I read. 9 from the Nottingham jury.

I was just gonna say "bombastic" too—-like Queen. Could be a good thing, sometimes, but didn't hit me right this time. I wouldn't mind hearing them a little less. |

I really think they're just having fun with sounds that influenced them. It reminded me that most importantly music should be fun, that it need not be taken so seriously all the time. I think Resistance is a fun record and in that I think Muse hit their mark.
Good insight but without it the song comes off sounding pretentious and contrived. Have to admit that the musicianship and studio work is quite good. |

When will this band be *over*? I could enjoy hearing them once a month. More than that is making me twitch.

I've always thought Muse was the lovechild of Radio Head and Queen :D This song just confirms the idea. I enjoy it!

LOL! It is a pretty big sound, right enough, with distinct echoes of Queen, and quite anthemic. Nice, though, and maybe it's time for rock opera to come back (every other musical form seems to have re-had its day of late). 7 from the Nottingham jury. |

This is the first time I'm hearing this, and before reading previously posted comments, I definitely heard Queen in there, big time. Nobody can duplicate Queen, but this sounds pretty good.
