Muse - "The Resistance" (album)

  1. Uprising
    still as good as ever
  2. Resistance
    Good, same mood.
  3. Undisclosed Desires
    boyband-beatish, though the low base-notes at the beginning are very Muse-ish. Not a favourite.
  4. United States of Eurasia
    "ha! ha! ha!"
    In the latest Q, Matthew Bellamy tells they want an "over the top" part on every album. A bit that cracks them up when they hear it back. Guess this is the one.
  5. Guiding Light
    Okay.
  6. Unnatural Selection
    oh! organ! love the uptempo "ocean...ocean..." with the multivocals. Bit System-Of-A-Down-ish at times
  7. MK Ultra
    uptempo (that's relative, I admit). good
  8. I Belong To You
    wondered by the title whether this'd be a kind of "Unintended". It _is_ definitely more slowpaced with a hint of the "chinese harmonics" that featured in United Status of Eurasia. The slow piano and drawling voice make a good second "over the top" candidate. Crazy tempo-changes! Invites a near boogy at the end.
  9. Exogenesis: Symphony Part 1 (overture)
    Violins, orchestra... piano, soft voice. Bellamy in NME: "I think on the next album I’d like to do at least one 15-minute space-rock solo."
