Short description

Black Holes & Revelations is the fourth studio album by English rock band Muse, released on 3 July 2006. Recording was split between France and New York, and it was the first time Muse had taken a more active role in the album's production. The album was a change in style from Muse's previous albums, and the band cited influences that included Queen, Millionaire, Sly and the Family Stone, Depeche Mode, Franz Ferdinand and music from southern Italy.

Long description

Super Massive rock giants Muse return with their fourth studio album "Black Holes And Revelations". The band left clues as to the tone and content of the album by saying - "Some new songs deal with awol soldiers, zeta reticulans, the sound of Joe Meek's tape machine being thrown down the stairs, the private thoughts of general Zhu Chenghu, feeling strangely comfortable collecting firewood whilst wielding an axe and of course, how to store pasta for 12 years using nitrogen flushing."

The first single, future funk via Lovesexy-era Prince, 'Supermassive Black Hole' sees the band's sound take a further illuminating detour, whilst remaining nevertheless resolutely, distinctively, effortlessly Muse. The new Muse order is here.

This christmas it was a toss up between Muse and The Lost Prophets as to which CD would make it home with me and I am so glad it was Muse!!! What an awesome CD, well worth its price and the best band in my opinion since U2!!! Their sound is infectious and the CD hasn't left the player since it was bought!! Here's hoping Muse last as long as U2 and keep giving us such brilliant music. If I could say one thing to them it would be 'thanks for Starlight' it has become a special song in my life and Matthew Bellamy knows how to write, sing and play guitar/piano!! Rock on Muse!!

Black Holes And Revelations is put simply, a masterpiece, and easily the album of the year. Muse seem able to take any genre and create songs that stand miles above all the competition. While it doesn't have quite the same energy of Origin Of Symmetry, and the album doesn't flow quite aswell as Absolution, Black Holes And Revelations has possibly the most ambitious and best collection of songs to date. Overall it is brilliant in basically every way, and it should truly join Radiohead's Ok Computer, REM's Automatic... and U2's Joshua Tree as one of the greatest albums of all time.
