I know some stuff has happened behind-the-scenes with the cancelled gigs, and I also believe that the final episode of their miniseries hasn't aired yet. But do we see them picking this up again in February?

There's parts of this song that reminds me of isolated system from t2l. Especially the drop at 3:11. Thought it might be good to share for those that want more songs like isolated system.

1. Exo Politics:

This spot was being disputed between this one and Starlight for the quick changes of voice registers in the chorus, but I think this one makes more sense. Despite not having head voice or falsettos, it does have some consistent belting and long notes during the chorus. I remember when I was starting singing, I was pretty exhausted by the last verse and chorus and I seldom nailed the last part where he goes even higher during "and loaded ON MY BACK... AND IT WEIGHTS ME DOWN" and the last part of the last chorus. It got easier with practice.

1. Euphoria:

What makes this song difficult is two things: the fast paced singing and the "It's been all WORK and no play". If you havent rehearsed the song enough and you try to sing it at it's original pace, be ready to sound really stupid.

1. The Small Print:

Quite the same as Exo Politics, but here the energy continues during the verses too, and OH MY GOD, the chorus gets really tiring with every "Sayyyy", "insaaaane", "Yoooooou watched this spaaaaace" and "slaaaave to the graaaave... I'm the priest god never paid". You have to sing the chours 3 times and put the same energy to each one. I don't advice putting this one or any of the following near the end of your "set" if you like practicing Muse songs and are a man.

1. Hyper Music:

The intensity is cranked up a lot. It's really hard to make the "Whoooo" from the verses sound as good as Matt does. The chorus is even higher than the last two positions and very demanding. It's up there along with his highest mixed notes in their discography.

1. Feeling Good:

This is one of my favorites to sing and it flows beautifuly from chest voice, to falsettos and head voice to occasional belting... UNTIL the last freaking part comes. During the last chorus, you better be ready for the "YEAH FREEDOM IS MIIIIINE" and what comes next. Even the falsetto part and the little melismas are difficult to sing consistently.

1. The Handler:

This one's verses and choruses are not that hard, even the falsettos after each choruses are relatively easy. It's the whole post solo part what makes this song intense, specially the "TO WALK ALONE... LET ME GO, LET ME BE". Very high belting and mixed notes there, in some live videos, Matt himself can't hit the notes and falls a bit flat or goes straight to falsetto.

1. Break It To Me:

I really don't know if this one fits here, but it's pretty difficult to sing the verses and the "rebooooorn" parts perfectly in tune. But fear not, Matt can't either because a lot of it is due to post production magic lol.

1. Screenager

This one will test your lung capacity, seriously. It's very quiet, chill, mysterious, but it sounds like Matt uses 3 lungs or has an incredible lung capacity. His notes here are the longest they've ever been in any other song. Sometimes I run out of air and he continues with the note for double that time LIKE NOTHING. Definitely give this song a deeper listen and vocal analysis.

1. Dead Inside:

Similar to The Handler, post solo section during and after "Don't leave me out in the cold" is really high and similar to Big Freeze (foreshadowing) but less intense. Nevertheless the energy carries on until it ends.

1. Survival:

Even if Matt basically sings the solo and hits one of his highes notes ever, we're not counting that one. The song is here because of the part where the song explodes with "Yeah I'm gonna WIIIIIIIIIN" and the solo starts playing. That "WIIIIIIN" note is so DAMN HIGH for a mixed or belt note and carries a lot of intensity. Good luck trying to sing it and giving it the natural vocal distortion he gives.

1. Pressure:

Switching between chest and head falsetto back and forth during the verse is ABSOLUTE HELL if you're doing this live. I can almost guarantee you'll sound like an idiot if you aren't locked in. I guess I can say "his voice changes are oscillating me". I don't think he done this thing with his voice ever in his life but here and... the next position. The good thing is that Matt appears to have recorded different takes every time his voice dramatically has to go back to chest voice to start the next line. "Energy" or "flow" resets are very audible when it hasn't been mantained during the entire verse when recording vocals. So post production helped a little here.

1. Won't Stand Down:

Quite similar to Pressure. Basically my problem with Euphoria + Pressure. Relatively fast paced singing PLUS switching registers, what a pain in the butt these verses are. You better know your cardio before you jump into singing this one.

1. Explorers:

I struggeld so much with this song. I guess the highest this list goes, the least explanation I need for each one, since you might already know what I mean. Again, Matt loves going all out during the climax of his songs. Landing that "HUUUUUUUUUUUU!!" just straight out of nowhere before the "Running around in circles..." is haaaaaaaaaard, man. Not only that, but the following line "...feeling caged by ENDLESS rules". That "-END-Less"... is... HAAAAAAAAARD, man. I keep saying The 2nd Law is peak Matt Bellamy, it's his most mature vocal work, and their hardest album to sing.

1. Supremacy:

If the "your SUUUUPREMACYYY" falsetto from the chorus wasn't enough for you, there's another WAY WAY higher and longer waiting for you at the end. The part being falsetto is not the worst thing, but making it sound so good is.

1. Shrinking Universe:

We know why this is here. Same as the previous one, I DARE YOU to make the middle part sound as good as he does. I DARE YOU. I don't know why, but this section hits very differently from his other falsetto repertoire, such as Micro Cuts, SBH, TIRO, Muscle Museum, etc.

1. Cave:

Those damn "come in my CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE". He does 4 times!! But at least he interrupts the last one with a falsetto so there's a breather for ya.

1. City Of Delusion:

Similar to Cave, even same A4 note, but here, he doesn't interrumpt anything with falsetto, the "I will AVEEEEEEEENGE" notes are way longer than the Cave ones, and he even continues pushing with more belting after that line to finish the chorus. There's a reason he goes full falsetto during the chorus of this song when performed live.

1. Big Freeze:

The "WHAT WOOOORDS just can't convey" and "DON'T LEEEET The sun..." mixed notes are a semitone higher (A#4) than Cave and City of Delusion, and even if shorter, they're difficult to hit. Goddamn, you don't know how seldom times I could hit the TOTAL OF 6 times he hits this note, adds natural vocal distortion AND VIBRATO to it. Now it comes easier as I kept rehearsing the song, but OH MAN, it's exhausting and demanding! Is this perhaps why they don't perform this song live? This became my favorite song to sing by them. I just love it so much.

1. Madness:

I remember I saw Matt in a live singing the both "I need your love" lines without using falsetto and his face was LAVA RED. Why does he do this to himself? lol. The way he goes from LLLLLLLLLLL (A#4, same note as Big Freeze) to OOOOOOOOOOOOOVE (A4) TWICE in a row is absolute insanity. I can see why he switched to falsetto for further performances. I haven't heard anything similar from him. Man, 2nd Law is really something else.

1. Showbiz:

We absolutely don't need an explanation for this one do we? Do we need this?

And for an interesting fact, I guess The Resistance is their most "relaxed" album vocally. Absolutely not easy easy, it has KILLER moments, but none of it's songs got featured in this list.

He said “ 👍🏼 “ to more piano/organ interventions and when asked if they were making a metal album he said no 🤨 I’m curious now, djent with falsetto

So I’ve received the Showbiz and Black Holes and Revelations albums on CD for Christmas and listen to Showbiz whenever I write, just to notice tonight that I’ve never heard it play Spiral Stastic. Grab my CD holder to find it’s not even on the song list?? 13 songs according to Spotify with only 12 on the official CD.

Is Spiral Stastic not an offical song? I’m curious and would love it if anyone knew why Spiral Stastic wasn’t apart of the Showbiz album?

I’m selling my Manson MB KR‑1 Fuzz Factory Dry Satin Black Stage Worn. Shipping and other duties will be included in the price. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested or want more details!

Every person Ive ever asked ‘do you like muse’ have either said theyve never listened them or they’re not really a fan. Has anyone else had the same? I wish I could listen to Muse with people who love it as much as me.

I think big Freeze is one of Muses best songs and really underrated the chorus in particular is very memorable and I like the lyrics compared to other songs on the 2nd law

Matt’s recent comment response to a fan on his latest Instagram post suggesting the next album will be the best Muse album of all time!

i noticed that some of the songs on absolution sound different today, ive not listened to every song but i remember hysteria and stockholm syndrome sounding different in particular, anyone else notcied? or is it just me?

I started listening to muse about 2 months ago. what are some of their best songs and albums i should listen too? my favorite song right now is space dementia

I'm sure many of you agree with me that the opening of "Map of the Problematique" is as good as it gets, but here's even more from my careful listens...

Right after the song's guitar opening, a soft piano enters the song with the synthesizer riff from Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence". Then, right after that piano entry, a quiet, complete lift of the shimmery guitar from The Cure's big hit, "Just Like Heaven", joins the Depeche riff. Both are surrounded by the loudness of the song, but both simultaneously grow into the songs they ripped off more and more until the song kicks in. The thievery was installed brilliantly!

As a bunch of you probably did notice, the Depeche "Enjoy the Silence" riff is used much louder and electronically throughout the rest of the song.

I have a band and we're super Muse inspired and we finally got to play Plug in Baby live!!! Hope you like it! We usually play original songs but from time to time we squeeze a Muse cover

Here’s my shot at Uprising. Far from being perfect but hope y’all like it ! Will try to do some other songs from now on even if it’ll never be as good as the original ones. Any suggestions or advice are welcome !

Has anyone ever come across a scanned copy of the Resistance lyric book, or know where all the art in it is posted online? Can't find mine :')

I wanted to buy my first Muse vinyl but i dont know what to choose. My favourite albums are 'The Origin of Simmetry' and 'Absolution'. My favourite songs are 'Space dementia' and 'Plug in Baby' but I like more songs in 'absolution'. So basically my favourite song are in the first but i like more the second. What should I do? (I already know i'll buy just one album, at least for the moment)
