The Resistance

So as i mentioned in my earlier post i bought the new Muse album this weekend and now i have finally had time to listen to it! And let me tell you it did not disappoint! They took on a bit of a different sound than on many of their previous albums, it still had the kind of electronica feel that is the trade mark of many of their singles but they incorporated many other genre's. Matthew Bellamy used a bit of a different vocal range too in my opinion. Usually he sings in a pretty high octave and all the notes are very smooth and flow together, but on this album he used some some lower vocal ranges, and broke up the notes more, which was a really cool change. I found that a few of the songs really took on a very Queen-like feel. Especially United States of Eurasia and Resistance. They would start off slower and softer and then get really loud and have classic rock sounding guitar riffs and it reminded me a lot of Queen really. Then the last three songs of the album, Exogenesis symphonies parts 1, 2, and 3...wow! There are some really beautiful piano solo's and you'll just have to listen to the songs to really be able to appreciate just how hugely talented they are and their amazing ability to incorporate classic rock and electronica and classical music and other genre's to make an extraordinary album. I Belong To You was by far probably my favorite song, it has a very jazzy feel, believe it or not and then Matthew Bellamy sings in french and it is veryyyy sexy! Oh and there's a really cool clarinet solo, which is awesome because that's what i play! I really don't have the time to talk about this album because i probably could all night, its just that good (and Muse just happens to be my favorite band) so you'll just have to go out and BUY (not download) the CD and see for yourself!
