Over the course of their first three studio albums Muse slowly gained ground as one of the more progressive and accomplished rock bands of the 2000s. By the time of 2006`s BLACK HOLES AND REVELATIONS, the process was complete. While still steeped in moody Britpop, wall-of-guitar rock, and space-synth soundscapes, BLACK HOLES finds Muse diversifying their already broad palette and creating one of their most ambitious efforts.
The tune "Supermassive Black Hole" is a case in point. A club-ready funk groove underpins the crunching guitars, proving Muse as capable of moving the body as expanding the mind. Elsewhere, the band experiments with flamenco-flavored guitars and mariachi horns amid their dense waves of guitars and electronics, while lead singer Matt Bellamy sings of apocalyptic themes, environmental degradation, and revolution. The effect, sonically and otherwise, is expansive and powerful, and the successful conflation of dance-rock, prog-rock, and hard rock underscore Muse`s knack for fearlessly pushing several buttons at once.

MUSE has done it again!!!
Nearly three years since their US breakthrough album ?Absolution?, Muse will be releasing their fourth-coming installment called ?Black Holes & Revelations?. While taking most of 2005 off to recoup from their lengthy tour, one of UK?s favorite bands have gotten more in touch with the experimentation of other genre?s including Funk, R&B, and Electronica while also keeping up to date with their signature aggressive guitar riffs and falsetto vocals. The first single ?Supermassive Black Hole? takes you on a dance type beat ride mixed with alternative guitar that will keep you aching for more. On other tracks including ?Assassin?, it shows you more melodic guitar combined with harmonizing tales of futurism, science, and the supernatural that we loved with their previous work. Newest single, ?Knights of Cydonia? combines actual trumpet playing and vocals from Bellamy?s higher and lower ranges that have been compared to the great Freddie Mercury of Queen. This CD will definitely not disappoint as it has a little something for everyone to enjoy.
