My all time favorite band, Muse, has certainly kicked it into high gear with the latest album. They admit the last album was ‘weird’, took AC/DC’s producer and well, we get this.

I am so disappointed in this album. Maybe if this was released in 2002 it would be interesting.
It’s just so polemic, dated, and uninspired compared to anything before The 2nd Law. At least The 2nd Law wasn’t boring .
I really like Muse but I feel like I’m watching them die a slow, quiet death.

I could turn this into a typical fanboy-level argument but I’ll happily say to each his own; I do admit I miss the more meaningful stuff like Megalomaniac.
And aye, 2nd law was weird, but in a good way. I was honestly hoping something that would top Panic Station in the level of ‘what even’, just because it’s one of those songs that just gets me smiling haha.

It’s mostly that it seems like they’re regressing in progressiveness and musical ability in favor of inflammatory messages and stadium performances. It’s like they’re middle school students who just discovered Karl Marx, Michael Moore, and An Inconvenient Truth.
Origin of Symmetry sounds like fresh enough that it would sound good even if released today, and it seems like a work of art. The 2nd Law was good, but had a lot of painful cracks of “Muse, what are you doing this sounds terrible, why are you just badly copying other people’s dubstep”, in a sort of cool dad “Hey look we’re cutting edge too” way.
As for panic station: I can’t unhear it.
But it is probably the best song on the album.
