The Resistance: Muse give forthcoming album a name
- Artists:
- Muse »
Big news: the eternal wait for the new album from the biggest British band of our generation (two supermassive Wembley Stadium shows), Muse, is coming to an end.
Details are still fairly thin on the ground but this morning the bands @musewire Twitter had this to say:
Drum roll please... The new Muse album title is... The Resistance.
There's not much else we know about The Resistance apart from the fact it features a track entitled 'The United States of Eurasia'.
We'd guess (and don't quote us on this as we're just filling the page here with ruddy obviousness) it has some epic War of the Worlds apocalyptic theme at the heart of the albums concept. It looks from their Twitpics that it will feature lots of strings but we imagine it will probably sound somewhere between Daft Punk and Mars Volta - but we're only speculating. We'd also guess it will probably be released about a millisecond after it's finished in some revolutionary manner that everyone will wonder why they've never thought of it before.

Share on FacebookI'll overlook the borderline pretentious title
and I can only hope Bellamy doesn't delve into more conspiratorial nonsense lyrically. BH&R made me chuckle in places when I re-listened to it for the first time in two years the other week.
However, I still can't fault Muse. For all their bombast and silliness in places, they are fucking tremendous both live and on record. I still remember listening to BH&R stream on MTV's website back when I was 14: I was sitting in my school's computer room after school one night (catching up on coursework I believe) with my best friend, and we listened to it start to finish, so loud it was rattling the corridor next to us, and our jaws were on the floor. We saw them at Reading that summer, and at Wembley the following summer to celebrate the end of GCSEs. Magic days. Plus I still rate New Born as my favourite song of the 00s.
They've yet to let up in my opinion, I'll be gutted if they do. As it stands, despite their record sales not quite totaling that of other truly massive bands, they're going down in the history books and I do sincerely hope this isn't the ink blot on their certificate of fucking awesomeness.
Don't repel.
I still think their best album is yet to come. Origin.. was the closest they've come to a masterpiece. But i'm looking forward to this.
My sentiments exactly, Mr Scrotum
...well almost. I can't, ahem, say I was 14 when I heard BH&R.
I loved the first 3 muse albums but the last one was patchy at best.
I have my fingers crossed but man oh man is that a shit title.
it's telling when Q give the album a 5 star rating that it's probably going to end up shite
and Black Holes and Revolutions was pretty weak in parts. Assasian and Map of the Problematique were pretty good... but i worry that this shitty title there might be a stinker coming our way. the populist backlash can only be in the post tbf
