    It sounds like nothing they've done before... but give it a listen.

    The video is on http://www.nme.com through the media player link, but I think you might need to register to see it.

    It's called Supermassive Black Hole.

    read this on a dutch-forum:

    Van DIY http://www.thisisfakediy.co.uk

    First Listen: Muse - Black Holes And Revelations

    It's seven o'clock on a Tuesday evening and DIY is stood facing the end of a world. With Muse. Again.

    The fact we're wearing some ludicrously expensive headphones in an overly posh London restaurant means little. It's 'Black Holes And Revelations' unveiling, and you could cut the tension with a knife (or at least a few of the numerous cocktails and bottles of wine littering the place - slightly sozzled Ed). First listen time? You bet.

    'Take A Bow'
    Muse aren't starting things with a bang, or even a steady march. Instead they've plugged into an old Spectrum ZX and have gone retro computer-pop. Things all go a bit Queen, the entire universe seems to explode, and the lyrics get broody. "You'll burn in hell for your sins", apparently. Bloody hell!

    'Starlight'
    Funked up with handclaps, you'd be forgiven for choking on your digestive when we tell you that 'Starlight's hook line reminds us a bit of Coldplay. It's certainly not MOR, however; guitars come in, the wiggly beeps of 'Origin Of Symmetry' make a welcome return. It's bleedin' massive.

    'Supermassive Black Hole'
    Is this Millionaire? Muse turn space funk in their lead single. Already tearing up the airwaves, it sounds even more like the pure pop genius it undoubtedly is within the confines of the album. Hardcore fans scared off by the single take note: it'll all make sense when you hear it in context.

    'Map Of The Problematique'
    DIY is at war. Half of us think 'Map Of The Problematique' should be the new theme music to The Bill, the other half thinks it's The Clothes Show. Electro bass mixes with piano, layered harmonies and something close to Eurotrance to make something that, on first listen, is either madness or genius. The last ten seconds, however, could well be the best thing Muse have ever done. Honestly.

    'Soldier's Poem'
    The first quiet one proper, Matt goes crooner. Stripped down to some Twenties/Thirties style vibe, complete with ultrasonic, unnerving backing vocals, 'Soldier's Poem' probably wears a smoking jacket and scares small children at night. Genuinely haunting.

    'Invincible'
    If we said Bellamy had written a song based upon the last ten minutes of Robin Hood, Prince Of Thieves, you'd tell us we've gone mad. Our first thought? Will there be bagpipes. Seriously. There aren't, but we wouldn't have been surprised. An ethereal march and the odd floaty harmony sound like the myst clearing at the end of the battle that ends the world. We're talking epic here. There's chunky bits, lyrics that could be a paranoid Westlife if we didn't know better ("Together we're invincible"), and a bass line that sounds like 'Time Is Running Out' on a sugar rush at times. The fact it actually works is more remarkable than the lot.

    'Assassin'
    Knight Rider. It sounds like bloody Knight Rider, or at least for the first ten seconds. Then it all goes metal; massive riffs, harmonies that sound like Queen and a whole chorus of vocals combine to sound like Metallica going to the opera.

    'Exo-Politics'
    Remember the Franz Ferdinand comments? We'd assume this is what they're on about. Funked up, fuzzed out guitars pull out one of those arch art-rock riffs that have Kapranos all over them, albeit if he was covering 'On A Rope'. If it wasn't for the rubbish title, we'd say this was a nailed on single, but then it's not like that will stop Muse.

    'City Of Delusion'
    Spanish guitars make their first appearence, turn electric, are joined by an orchestra of strings and go post apocalyptic. The last flamenco at the end of time? Quite possibly.

    'Hoodoo'
    Certainly this album's 'Unintended', genetically spliced into a Mexican western, it's Zorro without any of the doughnuts. Crashing down by the end, it's understated, but really bloody good.

    'Knights Of Cydonia'
    At one point, Knights Of Cydonia reminds DIY of Erasure. Not for long mind, as monk like chanting and a falsetto that could deafen a dog at the other end of the earth kick in. Backed by a brass section and what sounds like a whole choir of battery operated Clangers, it's the first ever space western. A shootout at high noon between R2D2 and the Milkybar Kid, before the end it all cuts out and Muse go more Queen than ever before. An AC/DC sized riff arrives and the world promptly ends. Blimey!

    'Black Holes And Revelations' is certainly an album, rather than a collection of songs. On the first listen it sounds impressive, but it'll take more than one to work out exactly how good it is. The biggest thing Muse have done to date, they're hiding from nobody. The signs look more than promising.

    Prince .. with a touch of Jack White and Queen thrown in.

    I really like it .. not what I was expecting, but that's better than being predictable.

    Can't wait for the new album! :cool:

    LOVE the new song, it has a great groove to it, it sounds totally different, I'm suitably impressed.

    So now I've listened to about 10 times and I'm just not feeling it. It lacks that Muse edge. Where's the deep rythm background? Where does it start to rock and stop being........pop?
    I wish this is just the black sheep of the new record. If it isn't, here's one Muse fan that wont buy the new album!

    Good god people, give it a chance in the context of the album. I guarantee it makes sense with the album whole. Even if it doesn't, I think it's brilliant. Complete curveball from Muse, nobody saw that coming. Reminds me of the first time I heard Big Bang Baby, and couldn't believe it was STP. I Fuckin' love sleaze pop.
  • brhf9brhf9 Posts: 1,475
    agreed...sounds like a pop dance track..

    as a friend of mine told me, listen to britney spears' 'do something'...

    not a rip-off, not at all, far from it, hehehe, but, well, just listen...

    Actually, go back and listen to the lyrics...you know why it sounds like a dance pop track...b/c it's a spoof of the genre, or a statement against commercialized pop. Think about it, A Supermassive Black Hole. What is a black hole? An area with a complete lack of matter, ie substance. He's calling the music industry a black hole of talent...not just a black hole, but a supermassive one.

    I had misheard a couple of lines, so now i don't think it's specifically targeting the music biz, but the more general consumeristic, superficial lifestyle that is encompassed by the 'britney spears" sound.
  • brhf9brhf9 Posts: 1,475
    well, i'm a sucker for rock music that can make me dance so well, i am diggin' it...

    Matthew Bellamy speaks to a French journalist about the new single on 3rd March 2006:

    'It’s the most different to anything we’ve ever done. We’ve had some Belgian influences: Millionaire, dEUS, Evil Superstars, Soulwax… These groups were the first to mix R&B rhythms with alternative guitar. We’ve added a bit of Prince and Kanye West. The drumbeat isn’t rocky, with Rage Against The Machine riffs underneath. We’ve mixed a lot of things in this track, with a bit of electronica; it’s different, slow, quite funky.'

  • Song sucks ass, but if that review is any indication we shoud wait to judge it until we hear it in the context of the album.

    Talk about a mashup!! I get the Prince, Kanye West and non rocky drumbeat. But where the hell is Rage against the machine and dEUS??!!
