The formula is undeniably moving, particularly when stripped of the heavily produced thud of drum and bass. Similarly, "Soldiers Poem" breaks up the album's rhythm-heavy middle section with a delicate acoustic number, spiced with a brief passage of Freddie Mercury harmony. The choice to follow the proggiest song with the poppiest was a carefully considered one, I'm sure. Such a dynamic musical discharge only highlights other tracks' comparatively standard pop/rock sensibilities. It builds around a tense verse of what I'm assuming is anti-Bush sentiment, and releases with enough genuine bombast to last the entire album. Muse seems content attempting to craft their perfect record, and within an established formula, they are certainly getting there.īlack Holes flows seamlessly, starting strong with "Take a Bow," my favorite track on the album.
Black Holes and Revelations is probably the least restrained album of 2006, which for some is a blessing, for others a pretentious annoyance. He likes to combine major and minor chords in pleasing ways, and he likes to rock out. Matthew Bellamy is a British man with an extremely flexible vocal range. So, right off the bat, the whole Radiohead comparison thing? It's redundant. At this point in their career, Muse are making exactly the kind of music they want to make.
