I really, really love this.

 

I know people want it to build up into a huge explosion or something, but the subdued nature of it works. From one of the write-ups, it seemed like this piece is supposed to be humanity failing and the earth dying.

 

The quietness makes me think of that one quote:

 

This is how the world ends

This is how the world ends

This is how the world ends

Not with a bang but a whimper

The key change at about 2:10 is wonderful. Recharacterises the track completely.

 

And it doesn't need a bigger climax. The climax it has is perfect for the track. This is probably the purest musical track Muse has ever done - relying entirely on little changes of key and harmony to evoke mood. Really, really impressed.
