Muse not releasing album online
Muse will not be following Radiohead’s footsteps in releasing their new album online, although they have expressed an interest in moving away from the traditional CD format.
“We won't be doing the same thing as Radiohead, no,” drummer Dom Howard said. "Everyone is plucking ideas out of the sky and any band can decide how they release an album. It's all good, I'm all for it.”
"The traditional format of releasing an album on CD is not the most common thing a new music buyer or listener would typically go and get from a shop these days,’ he added. "Not that we're against the concept of releasing an album in the traditional format at all. It's just the way the world and technology is evolving, it's presenting a canvas to do whatever you want and just release music as and when it is ready to release. It can happen much more organically.”
