Review
by: Matt Browne
Britannic Rock that isn't quite prog, but not quite standard either.
Muse is obviously good at their instruments, they shred, they
solo, they synth and they make sense. Absolution steps it up musically
from their last album, and the lyrics are a little less spacey,
and much more grandiose. The songs are highly textured and intensely
moody. The feeling of each song is palpable and different, and
as an album Absolution moves from moody to rocking to solemn to
loud. Muse are a rock band that isn't afraid to go beyond the
call, and unlike most bands that try to cram too much into their
songs, they pull off complicated compositions with a smart rock
and roll sensibility.
