Just found this on Tumblr. Google-Translated from Swiss:

 

Muse and "The 2nd Law" - The Will to megalomania

 

The name is from the beginning of the band Muse for epic guitar music and pathos in high doses. Consistently the three Englishmen screws with every album in the escalation screw towards pop rock royalty. This is also in "The 2nd Law" of the case, the sixth studio album.

 

A trend that has been in "The Resistance" set up in 2009, will be continued on "The 2nd Law": The Queenisierung of Muse. Matthew Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard play a modern interpretation of glam rock, as you have never heard in the seventies and early eighties of Queen, one of the few rock bands that were really glamorous.

 

Sometimes steals singer Bellamy even blatantly individual harmony runs the unforgettable Queen frontman Freddie Mercury (specifically from "Do not stop me now"). But another trend can hear on "The 2nd Law": the tendency to be more spherical pop à la U2. Once even a flash of true-Edge guitar. Bellamy & Co. master the perfect imitation. Talent borrows, genius steals.

 

Otherwise, the album is solid, but certainly not a new milestone in rock music. The track "us" carries unique members of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" and somewhere has still a bit of James Bond hidden. Perhaps the title track to "Skyfall", the new movie about the British super agent? It would be conceivable.

 

Here and there, the songs have lengths, but Muse are far away from the 3:30 format. Also noteworthy: Even they can not seem to deny the trend Dubstep elements incorporate into their songs. And bassist Wolstenholme sings on two songs "Save Me" and "Liquid State" - the second a little more convincing than the first.

 

Muse - "The 2nd Law" appears at 28.09. in Switzerland via Warner Music.

Muse voted most exciting live act of all time by NME.COM users

 

http://www.nme.com/news/muse/65720

 

NME.COM users have named Muse as their choice for the most exciting live act of all time.

 

The Teignmouth trio, who have become famous for their incendiary live performances, arena-filling anthems and wacky props including a flying saucer, took top spot in the poll despite stiff competition from contemporary acts and legendary bands alike.

 

Muse pipped The Strokes to take first place in the list, while The Killers were in third spot, meaning that Queen and Bruce Springsteen had to settle for fourth and fifth respectively.

 

The rest of the Top 10 was filled out by Nirvana, Arctic Monkeys, The White Stripes, Led Zeppelin and Rage Against The Machine, while other acts to make the final list of 20 included AC/DC, Radiohead, David Bowie and The Rolling Stones. More than half a million votes were cast in the poll, which ran on NME.COM in August.

 

The full list is as follows…

 

1. Muse

2. The Strokes

3. The Killers

4. Queen

5. Bruce Springsteen

6. Nirvana

7. Arctic Monkeys

8. The White Stripes

9. Led Zeppelin

10. Rage Against The Machine

11. Radiohead

12. Jimi Hendrix

13. AC/DC

14. David Bowie

15. The Cure

16. Foo Fighters

17. Pink Floyd

18. Blur

19. The Clash

20. The Rolling Stones

 

Muse released their latest single, 'Madness', earlier this week (August 20). The track, which is taken from their forthcoming new album 'The Second Law', was subsequently described by Coldplay's as the band's "best song ever".
