Last night, the band, along with some friends, made a trip all the way in Hollywood, to go to the Amoeba records store on Sunset Blvd. Our most favorite band Muse, at least for Christopher and I, came out with their new album that day, "The Resistance" and we figured we should all get our own copy.
This is Muse's fifth album. Muse had created their own style in their four previous albums. Composed of Matthew Bellamy [guitar, piano and vocals], Dominic Howard [drums] and Chris Wolstenholme [bass], the trio had moved the music scene in Europe. Their songs "Time Is Running Out," "Hysteria," "Butterflies And Hurricanes," "Starlight," "Invicible," and "Newborn" are few of their most popular.
For the first time, they produced the album themselves. They wrote the songs, recorded them, mixed them, editing them, created the sounds, wrote parts for orchestra, etc... They did what we're trying to accomplish, except they have more, much more money, much more experience, much more people behind them, with excellent engineers and assistance.
I'm not too sure how the general public, or Muse fans as a matter of fact, reacted to the new album. There's a point where a band, even like Muse, needs to grow musically. And they did. Matthew's classical background led him to compose orchestral parts and a three piece symphony; pure musical genius.
