heard them talking about this on Triple J Monday or so and theysaid that they were going for a more orchestral/symphonic feel to it.
trying something new and moving away from the Euro-pop of the last album.

Muse are a good band and am interested to here what it will be like.

 

[Winmar]

It's about time they released a new album. I look forward to hearing it.

 

[chrisvp]

agreed , looking forward to this

 

[Blitzkrieg]

From what I have heard on triple J, it sounds very Queen which is only a good thing! Will likely pick it up tomorrow.

 

[Mark]

Never heard much of Muse before, but was listening to this on Spotify yesterday and it's real nice.

 

[Spiff]

They're playing at the O2 when I'm in London but sold out pretty much straight away.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

After first listen I really enjoy it. As I said, some moments of very Queen influenced stuff, much less guitar than previous albums and more symphonic. First impression is that it isn't as amazing as the previous 2 albums, but really, if it was any better, I would probably shit bricks. I look forward to further listening!

 

[Spruce Goose]

I really like it.
I think it is their coolest album yet.
Probably not as good as BH&R or Absolution as Blitz said but still great.
I only really hear the Queen thing on United States of Eurasia.... I hear a bit of System of a Down in there though.
Matt Bellamy is pretty good at this music thing....

 

[Spruce Goose]

Check out their 'performance' on Italian tv

 

[Winmar]

I'm onto my second listen. Surely United States of Eurasia is a Queen tribute song!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Muse are rumoured for the Big Day Out, with the first announcement on Tuesday.

Placebo are another name being thrown around, which would also be awesome. Saw them in July and they were fantastic.

 

[Winmar]

Hope they do a sideshow if they come out. BDO is lame these days.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Their performance at the BDO a couple of years ago was fucking incredible, and the sound was great. That said, I would opt for a sideshow as well, having seen them at a couple of festivals and never their own gig.

 

[Winmar]

They were pretty cool when I saw them late last year, I think it was, at Rod Laver. Quite a few tools in pink t-shirts in attendance though.

 

[Shadow298]

Muse were officially announced for the BDO today, so let us hope that they get some side shows in too.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

As always with BDO time of year, Rod Laver is booked out for the tennis, so I wonder where they would play? Far too big for festival hall, maybe Myer Music Bowl? Is Vodafone arena available, or also used for the tennis? Hmm..

 

[Spiff]

What'a bout Etihad? Or is that too small?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

It might be too big. Muse could probably successfully play there with a couple of good support acts on a normal tour, but why bother putting on a massive spectacle of a gig when they are already playing the BDO? I think The Myer Music Bowl is more likely.

Side show for me anyways. The BDO announcement didn't deliver on the big names that were rumoured (Bowie, Placebo and Massive Attack), so Muse and Grinspoon sideshows will do me!

 

[Winmar]

Muse, The Mars Volta and Mastodon are pretty handy inclusions. Looks like a better lineup than usual.
