Product Description: Sounding like the confident, ambitious superstars they already are in their native UK, Muse follows up their breakthrough Absolution with an album that tempers the trio's unabashed grandiosity and apocalyptic obsessions with a smart pop groove. The minimalist angst of the opening "Take A Bow" may bridge the goth-pop conceits of the collection's successful predecessor, but those expectations are quickly kicked aside by "Starlight"'s synth-pop bliss, the falsettoed, space-disco thump of "Supermassive Black Hole" and the chilly, New Wave redux sheen of "Map of the Problematic"; so much for being held hostage to those early Radiohead comparisons. Indeed, on the lilting "Soldier's Poem" vocalist Matthew Bellamy cannily channels Freddie Mercury while "Assassin" pulses with the familiar metallic nerve and lyrical dread of Muse past. But by the time "Knights of Cydonia" erupts in a wrenching, melodramatic climax that somehow fuses ELP, Davie Allan, Procul Harum and Chris Isaak with enough giddy abandon to suspend disbelief, Muse have long since proved their case as genre-be-damned rock world-beaters. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews
Guitar Hero 3 introduced me to Muse
After playing Guitar Hero 3 and Knights of Cydonia, I fell in love with Muse. This album is great.

Buy this CD now.
This is a great album. I was very suprised at the variety of different sounds/songs this artist put out. Many artists today have a singular sound, not this group. Very well developed album, not just 1 good single w/ a bunch of drivel to sell some records which seems to be the norm these days. Do youself a favor and buy this album and throw it in your car CD player, you wont take it out for months.

Wonderful
Muse is awesome, and this album just reinforces that assertion. My favorite is 'Starlight' - I could listen to that all day, and frequently do.

Muse at their best.
Go ahead and buy/download/order/purchase any way you can.

Album of the decade?
In a sea of mediocrity, Muse has come to show us that rock is alive and well. While previous Muse releases were also excellent- namely, Absolution and Origin of Symmetry- they both suffered from some weak tracks pockmarked in between the great ones.
Black Holes and Revelations, however, is almost perfect; it's brash, witty, and gloriously over-the-top. The band flawlessly imbues pop, classical, metal, disco, salsa, electronic, and opera into one grand, sensational album.
Musically, this is easily the band's best album, and one that puts most other bands to shame. Thanks to Matt Bellamy's virtuoso musicianship and incredible operatic vocals, Muse's ingenuity outshines many of today's hardest-rocking bands.
Get it.
