Muse - The Resistance (Major)

“The Resistance” by Muse is an absolutely, need I say “epic,” brilliance of electronic and rock music. This album features eleven tracks of rock balled styled songs which often reminds me of a hybrid between The Killers and Queen especially in the song United States of Eurasia. The vocals on this album are absolutely breath taking. Matthew Bellamy’s lead vocals are particularly spotlighted with his use of falsetto and vibrato. This album is full of synthesizer and piano sounds which create a very full and different sound which Muse fans keep coming back for. The most interesting part of this album is how the songs journey you trough two different styles. The first half of the CD is what you would expect from any new rock band. However, the last half of the CD is coated with orchestras and grand pianos featuring a very solemn and powerful ending.

The Resistance - Preview Song:


The Resistance is an album that any rock music fan should defiantly check out, and be sure to listen to the whole CD through, because it will surprise you, I know I was.

I give this album a rating of 4.5/5 stars.

  2. In no way does pirating diminish the greatness of this album. Muse is a very successful band and at this point in there career I doubt money is an issue. So pirate away! unless your paranoid the RIAA will getcha. Which is why i purchase all my music legally. *cough*

  5. I love Muse! I wasn't so into them at first, but I saw them live a week or so back when they opened for U2. The drummer got my attention pretty quickly, and then I fell in love with their Starlight song. This one is great, and I think I'm off to buy their album . . .
