Muse

Sing For Absolution

Label: East West Release Date: 24/05/2004

afuture1 by Andrew Future May 26th, 2004

The whipping inferno of Muse's monstrous, operock tail is tickling god's arse and setting cathedrals across the land on fire. 'Sing For Absolution' is the sound of church bells crying and a thousand ambulances falling from the sky. Each one contains the wretched carcass of a different band Muse have devoured amid their feverish creative lust: Queen, Rachmaninov, System Of A Down and of course InMe. It's a hypnotising piece of psalm metal from Britain's rock monarchy.
