Muse are back. Or at least they will be in September. Until then they’ve left us a snippet of their new album which is causing controversy as ever.
Personally, I’m quite enjoying this album trailer. Dramatic news woman aside, the music is interesting and exciting. Yes it sounds like something to accompany a film trailer and the dubstep section at the end was initially unexpected but if you forget who you’re listening to and pay more attention to what you’re listening too it’s actually quite good. Plus it has strings in it, strings (nearly) always win me over.
I actually used to be a huge fan of Muse. Like many Muse fans I didn’t like the last album and wasn’t really a fan of the one before that either. You can’t deny that whatever they’re playing they are an excellent live band though. Thinking about it that’s where the dubstep initially creeped in, so it’s not such an unexpected move after all.
It’s impossible to guess the outcome of the album from such a short snippet but it has certinally made me look forward to it.
Anyway, here’s the trailer so you can make your own mind up.
