After that epic song comes “Hoodoo”, definitely a different song, but a good one.įinally, we have reached the last two songs of the album and they both are incredible. Matt belts out “Destroy this city of delusion/Break these walls down/I will avenge” and that melts into a beautiful mesh of strings which complement Bellamy’s vocals perfectly. Later in the album comes “City of Delusion”, another heavier sounding song.
This album features Dom’s skills best, as his drumming is top-notch throughout the album. “Assassin” is a heavier sounding song and does not disappoint. “Assassin”, my personal favorite, is a song which features excellent drum work from Dom. However, “Invincible” still sticks out as a weak song on the album.Īfter “Invincible”, the listener may be having some doubts as to where the album is heading, but luckily, Muse comes back strong and ends with the strongest songs on the album. After that point in the song, the tone suddenly shifts and seemingly out of nowhere, he whips out the greatest guitar solo in any Muse song that I’ve heard. Bellamy’s guitar is nearly enough to save the extremely dull first 3 minutes and 30 seconds of “Invincible”. Though “Take a Bow” is not a song I would just pull up on my iPod and listen to at a random time, it is a good opening for the album. In the first song, “Take a Bow”, Bellamy does a great job building up the song until it reaches the climax where he belts out “YOU’LL BURN IN HELL”. Matt Bellamy’s vocals and guitar work on the album are quite perfect in some places. This song has great synthesizer work and is beautiful to listen to during the chorus. “Map of the Problematique” can kind of also fall under the pop music category. Though it received A LOT of hate for being in the Twilight soundtrack, it is a solid song and is good to listen to just because it is so different. This song, “Supermassive Black Hole”, was quite different than anything I’d heard from Muse before. After “Starlight” the listener hears a beat reminiscent of something you would hear on Top 40 radio. Despite that, it is still worth a listen. However, “Starlight” can be quite cheesy in some places. I love the bass line in this song that rolls through the verses. “Starlight”, probably the most popular song off the album, shows off this new pop sound. In this album the listener can hear Muse experimenting with some sounds that are found in pop music, especially near the beginning of the album. Although Black Holes and Revelations isn’t at the level of Origin of Symmetry or Absolution, it is still a solid album that deserves praise.
Black Holes and Revelations was released in 2006 and was immediately met with immense popularity.
After that, hits such as “Hysteria” and the extremely popular “Time is Running Out” left us wondering what Muse would do next. “Plug in Baby” was a song that put Muse on the map in the music world. had experienced a meteoric rise after Origin of Symmetry and Absolution. Review Summary: Black Holes and Revelations, though weak in some spots, is a great overall album and features some incredible Muse songs.
