Black Holes And Revelations (studio album)
by Muse

I think this is the perfect album to discover Muse. It has everything: big hits, rock, pop, some more progressive tracks, spaghetti western vibes, and even a bit of electro. All wrapped up in great production, it makes for a really nice album that I listen to regularly.

The Temu version of Radiohead pulls off another lame album. Supermassive Black Hole has potential to be different but the music sounds like country rap trying to be disco, and it sucks.

An album of spectacular grandeur without over lengthy songs. Fantastic track sequencing. Upon listening to it again after about a decade gap, I'd forgotten how good this actually is. Way better than I'd remembered it to be. I'd put it as equal best along side 'Absolution'

I’m glad Muse exists, even if they’re not my favorite band. Kind of like Queen, but better read and with better chops. None of the songs go half-assed on this album but neither will they be something you can emotionally connect to.

Muses music is not my music. It is too noisy, bombastic, and genre-wise too difficult to place. Hard rock, metal, industrial, alternative, shoegazing, operatic, what ?. Choosing one genre is usually sufficient

Not the biggest Muse fan, but you can't not get a kick out of Starlight (although overplayed), Supermassive Black Hole, Invincible and Knights of Cydonia. The rest is mostly filler though, it's much less consistent than The Resistance which is my favourite Muse album.

This was my entry level to Muse in about 2017 having missed them entirely. It was energetic and big sound - I loved it, got into their back catalogue and regard them as one of my favourite bands.

This is quite a different record to their previous work and there is definitely a few more risks taken. One highlight of this is that the vocal performance is a lot more varied and it is stretched really well making for more unique sounding songs like Supermassive Black Hole. The instrumentation is also very good on most tracks with the guitar work being the standout. However, the record is a lot less consistent with there being several filler tracks which is rare to find on a muse album. Also, I found myself losing interest after about the mid way point as most of the standout tracks come in the first half except for the closing song which is brilliant. On the whole, this is not their best work but it is very interesting to explore and there are some great cuts to find on here.

Bom álbum, bem dramático!

Je trouve la première face du Vinyl un peu en dessous des deux albums précédents, par conter la deuxième face est juste énorme !
