The MB GEO Mask is based on Matt's [[Manson Mask]], which made its first live appearances during the [[Will of the People World Tour]] in 2023, with its main design inspirations being the [[Will of the People (album)|Will of the People]] mask design and geometrical shapes of radar-deflecting aeroplane technology. Twenty GEO Mask guitars were released in two limited batches of ten, in February of 2024, with the only difference between the batches being the back plate not being signed by the Manson Team in batch one.<br />
<br />
The guitar shares the exact same specifications as Bellamy's original touring [[Manson Mask]], with the only difference being the fretboard wood.<br />
<br />
The GEO Mask comes in a package with a custom GEO Mask logo flight case, GEO Mask strap, a series of Mask pictures, a hand-signed picture of Bellamy, aswell as a numbered replica of the mask made by the same team who made the masks for the WOTP tour.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/C3aezoit9mr/</ref><br />

This Manson guitar, built by Tim Stark and the Mansons team, features a different body shape, with angles reproducing the WOTP masks style. Stark said that he wanted to do a "modern looking angular ‘carved top’ for a while, along the lines of a stealth bomber like the F-117" for a long time, making this the perfect opportunity for him to build a guitar like that.<ref>https://www.guitarworld.com/features/muse-matt-bellamy-manson-mask-guitar</ref> The guitar was also built with the help of CAD engineer James Yarde and luthier Emily Gardner, who shaped the planes on top of the guitar. In terms of electronics, it is perhaps one of the simplest guitars, with just one volume control and a faux tone load, plus a Sustainiac system.<br />
<br />
The guitar has been nicknamed the 'Willtar' by Manson's Guitar Works on Instagram.<br />
<br />
A limited series of twenty Mask replica guitars, named [[Manson MB GEO Mask|GEO Mask]], were released by Manson in February of 2024, bearing exact same specs as the Mask.<br />
<br />
== Touring ==<br />
<br />
The guitar made its first appearance in [[Wiener Neustadt Stadion Wiener Neustadt 2023 (gig)|Wiener Neustadt in June 2023]] during the [[Will of the People World Tour]].<br />

This guitar is an "improved and tweaked" continuation of the [[Cort MBC-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitar|Cort MBC-1]] and the [[Manson MBM-1 Meta Series Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitar | Manson MBM-1]] and is produced in association with Cort, but under the Manson trademark. In terms of pricing and specifications, it is almost identical to the Cort MBC-1 and the Manson MBM-1, with the only noticeable difference being the pickups, which have been slightly updated and now feature a P90 / Manson Humbucker (bridge pickup) combination instead of a humbucker-single coil combination (also bearing similarities to the [[Manson Matt Black 3.0]]) and the electronics cavity in the back, which was routed larger as standard for easier modification purposes and the Manson Logo on the Headstock.<br />
<br />
The guitar was announced on June 2022, with social media posts by Manson Guitars and Matt Bellamy. <br />
<br />
It is available in both Satin (Matte) Black, Starlight Silver (Matte-like Silver) and Meta blue (Bluebell version of blue)<br />
<br />
== Upgrade options ==<br />
<br />
Manson Guitar Works offer the additional Sustainer install (except for the bluebell). As with the Cort MBC-1, more modification options are presumably going to be available in the future.<br />

It is available in both Satin (Matte) Black, Starlight Silver (Matte-like Silver) and Meta blue (Bluebell version of blue)<br />
<br />
== Upgrade options ==<br />
<br />
Manson Guitar Works offer the additional Sustainer install (except for the bluebell). As with the Cort MBC-1, more modification options are presumably going to be available in the future.<br />

The MB-1 Nebula models is a batch of 13 guitars, [[Manson Nebula|one of them]] was customized differently and sent to Bellamy in january 2023 while the other 12 were sold on Manson Guitar Works'shop on January 27th.<br />
<br />
According to Mansons<ref>https://www.mansonguitarworks.com/limited-edition-mb-1-nebula-black-hardware-1</ref> "these guitars started life as potential touring backups for any damaged guitars on the [[Drones World Tour]] but none ever got sent into action. Eventually the guitars and parts were disassembled leaving spare solid alder bodies to begin a new life at Manson Guitar Works. (...) The result is an MB model equipped with our latest Sustainiac Sustainer system, custom order 510 hardware, in house MB signature PF-1 pickup with etched Manson logo and a choice of either [https://www.mansonguitarworks.com/limited-edition-mb-1-nebula-black-hardware-1 X-Nickel] or [https://www.mansonguitarworks.com/limited-edition-mb-1-nebula-black-hardware black hardware]. Further custom specs include the fitting of our solid aluminium bridge pickup surround, anodised in black and the fitment of our standard spec custom neck. Featuring a smooth, playable 12-inch radius, dark rosewood fingerboard and rock solid maple construction, it’s soft-V shape is designed to be happy with sustained soloing or solid power chord riffing."<br />
<br />
The guitars were teased on Manson Guitars instagram account<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4UwVwo0jL/</ref> a few days before release.<br />

The MB GEO Mask is based on Matt's [[Manson Mask]], which made its first live appearances during the [[Will of the People World Tour]] in 2023, with its main design inspirations being the [[Will of the People (album)|Will of the People]] mask design and geometrical shapes of radar-deflecting aeroplane technology. Twenty GEO Mask guitars were released in two limited batches of ten, in February of 2024, with the only difference between the batches being the back plate not being signed by the Manson Team in batch one.<br />
<br />
The guitar ships with a custom GEO Mask logo flight case, GEO Mask strap, a series of Mask pictures, a hand-signed picture of Bellamy, aswell as a numbered replica of the mask made by the same team who made the masks for the WOTP tour.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/C3aezoit9mr/</ref><br />

<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy]] owns more than 50 Manson guitars, of which all were built by [[Hugh Manson]] (before 2009) except the [[Manson Mirror Kaoss | Mirror Kaoss]], [[Manson Doubleneck | Doubleneck]], [[Manson Keytar | Keytar]] and [[Manson Matt Black II | Matt Black II]] and many more, which were built by Tim Stark. Hugh still makes guitars for Matt, but nowadays, most of the work is done by head luthier at Manson Guitar Works, Tim Stark. All of the guitars built for Bellamy, aside from the 7 String E Guitar, have a shape that he designed alongside Hugh Manson in 2001, dubbed Mattocaster or MB shape. The Mattocaster shape resulted from Bellamy wanting a guitar with "the body of a Fender Telecaster and the sound of a Gibson Les Paul".{{cite/none}} Ron Joyce, Hugh's friend and electronic designer/engineer, also plays a big role in achieving the sound, as he designs, engineers and builds all the tech found in Matt's custom guitars. <br />
<br />
As of June of 2019, Bellamy became the majority shareholder of Manson Guitar Works.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/mansonguitarworks/posts/972191466321877?__tn__=-R</ref>He mentioned that in the following months and years, he and the team at Manson will actively investigate new products for heavier music genres (incl. 7 string guitars) and explore enchanced electronic features to evolve the guitar into the modern era of sound. He also mentioned the release of lower cost Manson guitars, the then named "M-Series" and now named MBM-1 Meta Series <small>''(see below)''</small>.<ref>https://www.musicradar.com/news/matt-bellamy-on-mansons-future-well-be-exploring-enhanced-electronic-features-to-further-evolve-the-guitar</ref><br />

[[Matthew Bellamy]] owns more than 50 Manson guitars, of which all were built by [[Hugh Manson]] (before 2009) except the [[Manson Mirror Kaoss | Mirror Kaoss]], [[Manson Doubleneck | Doubleneck]], [[Manson Keytar | Keytar]] and [[Manson Matt Black II | Matt Black II]] and many more, which were built by Tim Stark. Hugh still makes guitars for Matt, but nowadays, most of the work is done by head luthier at Manson Guitar Works, Tim Stark. All of the guitars built for Bellamy, aside from the 7 String E Guitar, have a shape that he designed alongside Hugh Manson in 2001, dubbed Mattocaster or MB shape. The Mattocaster shape resulted from Bellamy wanting a guitar with "the body of a Fender Telecaster and the sound of a Gibson Les Paul".{{cite/none}} Ron Joyce, Hugh's friend and electronic designer/engineer, also plays a big role in achieving the sound, as he designs, engineers and builds all the tech found in Matt's custom guitars. <br />
<br />
As of June of 2019, Bellamy became the majority shareholder of Manson Guitar Works.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/mansonguitarworks/posts/972191466321877?__tn__=-R</ref>He mentioned that in the following months and years, he and the team at Manson will actively investigate new products for heavier music genres (incl. 7 string guitars) and explore enchanced electronic features to evolve the guitar into the modern era of sound. He also mentioned the release of lower cost Manson guitars, the then named "M-Series" and now named MBM-1 Meta Series <small>''(see below)''</small>.<ref>https://www.musicradar.com/news/matt-bellamy-on-mansons-future-well-be-exploring-enhanced-electronic-features-to-further-evolve-the-guitar</ref><br />

<div>[[File:AbbeyRoad.png|thumb|right|The infamous Abbey Road entrance door]]<br />
[[File:BeatlesAbbeyRoad.jpg|thumb|right|The Beatles walking on the zebra crossing outside Abbey Road Studios]]<br />
'''Abbey Road Studios''' is one of the most iconic studios, if not the most iconic studio, named after the street it sits on, "3 Abbey Road", based in the City of Westminster, in London, England. Established in 1931 by the Gramophone Company (presently known as EMI), it's most known for its client, The Beatles, who used the studios to record most of their albums in the 1960s, using inovative and then-new approaches to recording music, together with producer George Martin. The Beatles also took a their infamous zebra crossing photo just outside the studios, appearing on the cover of their album titled "Abbey Road". EMI owned the studios up until 2013, when Universal Music Group took control of part of it. In 2010, Abbey Road Studios became a Grade II listed building over outcry to selling the infamous studios.<ref name="AbbeyRoadSaleTele"/>.<br />
<br />
Apart from The Beatles, there have been numerous acts from many decades whom have recorded albums/singles/EPs in these studios, including Glenn Miller, [[Pink Floyd]], Massive Attack, Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones, Oasis, Adele, The Holies, and many more. The studios have also been used for a variety of orchestral sessions for multimedia soundtracks, including movies like the Harry Potter movie franchise, the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogies, several works off of the Marvel Cinematic Umiverse, the Star Wars franchise and games like Call of Duty, Halo 5 and Final Fantasy.<br />
<br />
== Studios ==<br />
<br />
Inside the studio complex are three original studios, which are also the biggest recording spaces, all of which were in the building since the 1930s. Recently, Abbey Road added three smaller studios to the list of studio spaces. Abbey Road also has several mastering rooms.<br />
<br />
=== Studio One ===<br />
<br />
Studio One is the world's largest purpose-built studio, and can accomodate a large symphony orchestra. As such, it's known to have been the main studio for orchestral recordings and for soundtracks. Over the years, the studio payed host to famous classical composers like Edward Elgar and Sergei Prokofiev. As a session studio, it's been used by artists such as Stevie Wonder, [[U2]] and Harry Styles, amongst others.<br />
<br />
=== Studio Two ===<br />
<br />
Studio Two is Abbey Road's most famous studio. It is the studio used by The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Oasis and is the second largest studio in the building. The studio was designed for popular music recordings in the 1930s, example being swing bands. The studio's control room has a 60-channel AMS NEVE 88RS board with a surround monitor section. The studio still houses an EMI TG12345 desk and an EMI REDD desk from the 1960s. Both desks are still used. The studio also still keeps all the keyboards which were used by The Beatles.<br />
<br />
This studio is also where Muse recorded Origin of Symmetry.<br />
<br />
=== Studio Three ===<br />
<br />
Alike studio two, studio three was also used by The Beatles for the album Revolver, and Pink Floyd for the album The Dark Side of the Moon. It is also the studio at which Amy Winehouse recorded some of her final songs. The centerpiece of the studio is an SSL G-Series console. Out of all the three original rooms, this room served as the blueprint for what the modern recording studio is.<br />
<br />
This is the studio in which Muse recorded Will of the People.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/C2kmazlo7aL/</ref><br />
<br />
=== The Gatehouse ===<br />
<br />
The Gatehouse is a small and modern tracking studio, featuring an AMS Neve BCM10/2 16-fader analog console, and is built for small bands or vocal acts. Alongside The Front Room and The Penthouse, it is one of the recently built studios with the aim of attracting new clients.<br />
<br />
=== The Front Room ===<br />
<br />
The Front Room is the second of the three small contemporary studios. It's been designed for small-scale recordings and writing sessions and is built around a 24-fader SSL Duality digital mixing console. It's paid host to artists like Nile Rodgers & Chic, Rudimental, George Ezra, and more.<br />
<br />
=== The Penthouse ===<br />
<br />
The Penthouse was primarily designed for both film and music mixing sessions, being outfitted with a Dolby ATMOS sound system. The studio can also be used for small-scale recording sessions. It is based on a Pro Tools Avid S6 console and has been used to mix artists such as Ariana Grande and Nick Cave and movies like A Star Wars Story, 1917 and Rocketman.<br />
<br />
=== Custom 75 ===<br />
<br />
The studio belongs to the Abbey Road Institute, a music production school established by the studio. It is named after the audio console of the same name, which belongs to the institute. It has a post-production room for film aswell as five mastering rooms.<br />

<div>[[File:AbbeyRoad.png|thumb|right|The infamous Abbey Road entrance door]]<br />
[[File:BeatlesAbbeyRoad.jpg|thumb|right|The Beatles walking on the zebra crossing outside Abbey Road Studios]]<br />
'''Abbey Road Studios''' is one of the most iconic studios, if not the most iconic studio, named after the street it sits on, "3 Abbey Road", based in the City of Westminster, in London, England. Established in 1931 by the Gramophone Company (presently known as EMI), it's most known for its client, The Beatles, who used the studios to record most of their albums in the 1960s, using inovative and then-new approaches to recording music, together with producer George Martin. The Beatles also took a their infamous zebra crossing photo just outside the studios, appearing on the cover of their album titled "Abbey Road". EMI owned the studios up until 2013, when Universal Music Group took control of part of it. In 2010, Abbey Road Studios became a Grade II listed building over outcry to selling the infamous studios.<ref name="AbbeyRoadSaleTele"/>.<br />
<br />
Apart from The Beatles, there have been numerous acts from many decades whom have recorded albums/singles/EPs in these studios, including Glenn Miller, [[Pink Floyd]], Massive Attack, Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones, Oasis, Adele, The Holies, and many more. The studios have also been used for a variety of orchestral sessions for multimedia soundtracks, including movies like the Harry Potter movie franchise, the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogies, several works off of the Marvel Cinematic Umiverse, the Star Wars franchise and games like Call of Duty, Halo 5 and Final Fantasy.<br />
<br />
== Studios ==<br />
<br />
Inside the studio complex are three original studios, which are also the biggest recording spaces, all of which were in the building since the 1930s. Recently, Abbey Road added three smaller studios to the list of studio spaces. Abbey Road also has several mastering rooms.<br />
<br />
=== Studio One ===<br />
<br />
Studio One is the world's largest purpose-built studio, and can accomodate a large symphony orchestra. As such, it's known to have been the main studio for orchestral recordings and for soundtracks. Over the years, the studio payed host to famous classical composers like Edward Elgar and Sergei Prokofiev. As a session studio, it's been used by artists such as Stevie Wonder, [[U2]] and Harry Styles, amongst others.<br />
<br />
=== Studio Two ===<br />
<br />
Studio Two is Abbey Road's most famous studio. It is the studio used by The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Oasis and is the second largest studio in the building. The studio was designed for popular music recordings in the 1930s, example being swing bands. The studio's control room has a 60-channel AMS NEVE 88RS board with a surround monitor section. The studio still houses an EMI TG12345 desk and an EMI REDD desk from the 1960s. Both desks are still used. The studio also still keeps all the keyboards which were used by The Beatles.<br />
<br />
This studio is also where Muse recorded Origin of Symmetry.<br />
<br />
=== Studio Three ===<br />
<br />
Alike studio two, studio three was also used by The Beatles for the album Revolver, and Pink Floyd for the album The Dark Side of the Moon. It is also the studio at which Amy Winehouse recorded some of her final songs. The centerpiece of the studio is an SSL G-Series console. Out of all the three original rooms, this room served as the blueprint for what the modern recording studio is.<br />

== Information ==<br />
<br />
The goal of the album, ever since ideas for it arose in late 2019, was that it would explore current events in the world. Since a lot has happened during these years, it, thematically, explores everything from Black Lives Matter protests, to the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdowns, to the 2021 Capitol riots, and much more. <br />
<br />
According to Muse, "''Will of the People was created in Los Angeles and London and is influenced by increasing uncertainty and instability in the world. A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests & riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilisation of the global order all informed Will of the People. It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which we have cradled us for so long are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.''"<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLgvvBqtzI/</ref><br />
<br />
In an interview with Zane Lowe, upon announcing the album, on March 17th, 2022, Bellamy said about it, that the label originally planned them to release a best-of compilation of existing songs (later elaborating on that, saying that a "Best-Of Album" possibility is in their contract<ref>https://youtu.be/yniTwqdNX3A</ref>). They instead decided to make a new album, which, musically, encapsulates and recaps the Muse's best work from past albums. As Bellamy said in an interview with a French radio station "RTL 2" in June of 2022, with the release of [[Origin of Muse (box set)|Origin of Muse]] and [[Origin of Symmetry|Origin of Symmetry's 20th Anniversary Remix]], the band listened to a lot of their old music during the writing and recording process, and were thinking about certain things and ideas that they tried to do in the past, but they didn't work out. As an example, he mentioned [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]]; Saying that "''2 to 3 times in our career, we've tried to create something that kind of...resembled metal or something, but we couldn't quite go there''".<ref>https://youtu.be/yniTwqdNX3A</ref> As such, as mentioned by Bellamy on the Zane Lowe interview, the album goes "''all the way, from metal, to pop, to my first version of an Adele piano-like song, to electronica''", featuring songs like [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]], which is ''"the best prog metal song they've ever done that could've been on [[Drones (album)|Drones]]"'', becoming a fan-favourite after just a few live performances, and [[We Are Fucking Fucked (song)|We Are Fucking Fucked]], which he sees as "''the weirdest, darkest lost B-side of Muse's life''", while also including songs like [[Liberation (song)|Liberation]], which is, according to NME, a Queen-like ballad song and [[Verona (song)|Verona]], bringing "purity to the nostalgic electronic textures", as described by Warner themselves .<ref>https://www.nme.com/big-reads/muse-cover-interview-2022-will-of-the-people-3243209</ref><br />
<br />
In the same interview, he mentioned that he let Dom Howard take the lead in terms of decisions on this album, jokingly saying that this is why the album, from start to finish, took so long, saying that Howard took time with the process. On top of that, he added that the album was self-produced by the band themselves,<ref>https://youtu.be/BiD9f59oo1w</ref> however it was made with help and assistance from [[Aleks Von Korff]].<br />
<br />
Taking in account previous mention of Bellamy's idea of 'era blending' and 'best-of' album, Will of The People presents songs that are reminiscent of their previous albums, Will Of The People harks back to songs like Psycho and Uprising; Compliance seemingly a new feature, presents influences from the 90s with a texture from Simulation Theory; Liberation is a song that could have been released on The Resistance; Won't Stand Down, presents patterns and verses that could have been present on Origin of Symmetry with its metal influence with the strings; Ghosts (How Can I Move On), a song that could be the one that Matt described as an 'Adele type of song'; You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween, a song that could be released Simulation Theory with its 80's inspired sound ala Rockwell's Somebody's Watching Me; Kill or Be Killed, is intriguing due the mix of influences, ranging from Absolution, and Black Holes and Revelations to Drones with its metal riffs; Verona presents sounds similar the ones from The 2nd Law, like Follow Me and Madness, with its synths and U2 esque patterns and riffs; Euphoria, similar to the songs from Simulation Theory, presents synths straight out of the 70s and 80s, similar to the works of Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder; Finally, the closer, 'We Are Fucking Fucked', presents sounds harking back to Showbiz, Origin of Symmetry and The 2nd Law with a riff similar to Knights of Cydonia.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
After the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]] ended in 2019, Bellamy came up with the idea for the album, which, according to his interview with NME, was that they'd "''make it a bit more about what’s actually happening in the world right now''", adding "''what I didn’t know was what was about to happen.''" <ref>https://www.nme.com/big-reads/muse-cover-interview-2022-will-of-the-people-3243209?utm_source=hootsuite&utm_medium=&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=</ref> Later, in January of 2020, Matt first publicly hinted at working on new Muse material in an interview with ALT 98.7 FM, backstage at the ALTerEGO Festival. He said that the goal for 2020 was to work on new Muse material. The plans were brought to halt due to the coronavirus pandemic, as the three were unable to get together due to the lockdowns. Bellamy instead focused on releasing his solo material. Later that year, in May, Matt further hinted on working on Muse material in an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, saying that he has a few pieces written that are suited for Muse.<ref>https://youtu.be/wGHqxU-63HM?t=292</ref> In an interview with Rolling Stone, also in May, he said that that the idea would be to record the album in 2021 and go on a tour in 2022.<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/muse-matt-bellamy-interview-coronavirus-quarantine-999208/</ref><br />
<br />
Later, in 2021, Bellamy further confirmed that work on the new Muse album has begun, in an interview with [[The Jaded Hearts Club|The Jaded Hearts Club Band]] for The Sun.<ref>https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12884819/matt-bellamy-thought-jaded-hearts-club-were-the-beatles/</ref> Bellamy said the following: ''"I started writing when all the protests and all the chaos were kicking off. It’s a weird thing to say but it suits the music I write. It keeps you a little bit on edge."'' Additionally, Bellamy jokingly said, in an Instagram comment reply on [https://www.instagram.com/p/COBjSGLhFzP/ Dom Howard's Instagram post], that the album would include "emotional gasps and many usages of the word ‘soul’.". <br />
<br />
Bellamy also had once got imbued with the recent label's request to release the greatest hits album of Muse's iconic songs from each eighth album they recorded, but they turned down the request and instead, they decide to produce a new album that combined with all various sounds and influences from each of their previous album into a new and fresh package with an additional comment by him as "a greatest hits album - of a new songs - essentially" <ref>https://www.nme.com/news/music/matt-bellamy-says-muses-will-of-the-people-is-a-greatest-hits-album-of-new-songs-3226398</ref> during Matt's interview with NME and the band interview with French radio talk show. <br />
<br />
The album, and its release date (August 26th, 2022) was finally announced on March 17th, 2022, together with the release of [[Compliance (single)|Compliance]]. The announcement, being six months apart from the release date, was met with mixed feelings from fans, however, since then, one more song has been released, another one performed live, and the fourth song still planned to be released before the album drops. Ordering the album from the official muse.mu website gives the buyer an exclusive chance to access the ticket pre-sale code for future gigs.<br />

In a 2019 interview with NME, Bellamy said that he'd like the idea of the band "totally resetting" and going back to their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon to rehearse and record the album. This was, however, not the case, as the first studio pictures that started to emerge were from Bellamy's own studio, named the [[Red Room Studio|Red Room]], located in downtown Santa Monica, California, where, in March of 2021, the first proof of Muse being in the studio came from<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CMT4hOxjpeI/</ref> The album was both written and part-recorded in the studio. With Chris in the UK and the rest of the band in the USA, and with all the lockdowns, this was mostly done remotely. Producer [[Aleks Von Korff]], who previously worked with Muse as an engineer on [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]], and produced Bellamy's solo material - songs like [[Tomorrow's World (Matthew Bellamy song)|Tomorrow's World]] - also posted a picture from Red Room during that time, with the wooden Kawai piano. <br />
<br />
Between April and June 2021, the band took a break from recording, to work on a remix of [[Origin_of_Symmetry_(album)#Origin_of_Symmetry:_XX_Anniversary_RemiXX|Origin of Symmetry]]. In early June, Matt and Dom joined Chris in the UK, continuing work on the album.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6Xo7IjPs1/</ref> With the entire band back together in person, recording continued at [[Abbey Road Studios]] in London, in the summer of 2021. The band were also joined by Muse's long-time engineer, [[Adrian Bushby]], who posted a picture of him and Howard at [[Abbey Road Studios]] tracking drums.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBaoDFtHHk/?utm_medium=copy_link</ref> This makes the upcoming album the second LP to be partially recorded at Abbey Road, after 20 years, when [[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]] was recorded at the facility. The album appears to have also been partially recorded at [[RAK Studios]] at the end of 2021, with Tre Cool from [[Green Day]] mentioned meeting up with Muse during their stay at the studio whilst recording their album, ''Saviors''.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/19bdc8s/tre_from_green_day_mentions_muse_recording/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button</ref><br />
<br />
On December 1st, 2021, Chris Gehringer, mastering engineer at [[Sterling Sound Studios]] posted a picture of Bellamy and Howard sitting on a couch, with the entire album at the mastering stage during that time. <ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CW9SHCXPtJy/</ref><br />

== Release ==<br />
[[File:MUSE 2022 2000-696x442.jpg|thumb|right|First WOTP promo pic for Won't Stand Down<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CYb-0PFL5xU/</ref>]]<br />
On December 25th, 2021, Bellamy made up for the lack of a muse.mu Christmas present with a short livestream from his Tesla, on Muse's Instagram profile, showcasing part of [[Won't Stand Down (single)|Won't Stand Down]]. The 60 second stream was then screen-recorded by a few people, with copyright bots deleting the posts, hinting at the song being near its release. Matt's minute-long stream can be listened to [https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/romrcw/full_60_second_preview_of_new_song_wont_stand/ here]. The then-approaching release of the song was teased once again on Muse's New Years Eve Instagram post, when they wrote a caption saying "Looking forward to WSD. We'll see you on the other side!", before quickly replacing "WSD" with "2022". [[Won't Stand Down (single)|Won't Stand Down]] was subsequently announced a week later, on January 7th, 2022, on Muse's social media<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CYbuFCOKPfv/</ref>, with [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/ wontstanddown.muse.mu] spotted being online a day earlier. Together with it also came the single artwork and a new promo image of the band. The song was released on January 13th, 2022, on digital platforms. <br />
<br />
Almost two months later, on March 2nd, 2022, Bellamy posted an Instagram story in which he went over the guitar tuning for Won't Stand Down, while mentioning that a second heavy song will appear on the album.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/t5fv8w/from_matts_instagram_story/</ref><br />
<br />
On March 9th, 2022, Muse posted a short, half-minute album teaser video on their YouTube, simply titled "MUSE", which depicts statues of the band's heads being torn down by a group of rioters in the middle of a desert, while wearing mirror masks from the Won't Stand Down music video, with a choir of Matts chanting the line "The Will of the People", name of the album and title track, with album artwork displayed at the very end of the video.<ref>https://youtu.be/nzHnwHzp9o4</ref> <br />
<br />
Two days later, on March 11th, 2022, it was discovered by Muse fans that the index code from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], contains basic album info, including the tracklist and anagrams for each song which will appear on the album. The same day, Muse announced a new song/single, [[Compliance (single)|Compliance]]. The song, and its music video, leaked on March 15th through Vimeo, before being deleted from the platform on the same day. A day later, anagrams from the wontstanddown index code were also resolved, leaking song titles and the tracklist. Compliance's music video was announced together with the album name on March 16th<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLgvvBqtzI/</ref>.<br />
<br />
The album's release date has finally been announced, together with the release of [[Compliance (single)|Compliance]], on March 17th, 2022. It is available for pre-ordering via [https://willofthepeople.muse.mu/ willofthepeople.muse.mu] and is set to be released on August 26th, 2022.<br />
<br />
Matt reportedly said, to one of the fans after one of the [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 9th (gig)|London Apollo charity gigs]], in May of 2022, that they intend to release two more songs before the album drops. A day after the second gig, on May 11th, Apple Music began to show the track duration for the title song, while a few days later, on May 13th, a release date for the song was set up for it on Amazon.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/uo8gxb/will_of_the_people_released_as_a_single_on_june/</ref> This led fans to speculate, that [[Will of the People (single)|Will of the People]] would be the next single from the album. The song was later leaked on May 26th, 2022, while the official release date of June 1st was announced a day later, on May 27th.<br />
<br />
After being played on every gig of the [[Will of the People Summer Festivals Tour]] in June & July of 2022, it was announced by Muse on July 13th, 2022, that [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]] would be the next song to be released from the album. It was released on July 21st, 2022, at 3PM BST.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf9Hw7SqHJD/</ref> This is also the last single before the album drop.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact that some people were able to get hold of the album earlier, on August 22nd, short snippets (phone recordings) of the unreleased songs from the album were leaked on Twitter, exception being [[We Are Fucking Fucked (song)|We Are Fucking Fucked]].<ref>https://twitter.com/WOT_Musers</ref> A day later, on August 23rd, the fifth single was announced by Muse, being [[You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween (single)|You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween]]. The single, and it's music video, are due to be released on August 26th, together with the album.<br />
<br />
On August 1st, 2022, it was announced, that Will of the People would also be releasing as an NFT, available on the platform called "Serenade".<ref>https://serenade.co/@muse/will-of-the-people</ref> Limited to 1000 copies, it is the first new music format to be charted in the UK since 2015, when music streaming data started counting in the charts, alongside CD, LP and download sales. The NFT cover art is slightly different to the standard one, featuring a purple/blue colour scheme, instead of the orange/blue one, and also featuring Muse's signatures on the digital cover itself.<br />
<br />
On November 24th, 2022, it was announced by Muse that a new single, [[Ghosts (How Can I Move On) (feat. Elisa) (single)|Ghosts (How Can I Move On)]], featuring Italian singer, [[Elisa Toffoli]] would be released the next day. <br />
<br />
On December 9th, 2022, [[Ghosts (How Can I Move On) (feat. Mylène Farmer) (single)|Ghosts (How Can I Move On)]] was announced to have a second single, featuring French singer, [[Mylène Farmer]] and was released simultaneously.<br />
<br />
== Critical Reception ==<br />
<br />
After the release, Metacritic scored the album in 71 out of 100, indicating the generally positive and favourable reviews. It was also commercially successful to become the Muse's seventh UK No.1 album. NME described the ninth album as their "best music in these years" and more respectable than their previous awkward trend-chasing album "Simulation Theory"<ref>https://www.nme.com/en_asia/reviews/album/muse-will-of-the-people-review-3297994</ref>. Won't Stand Down and Kill or Be Killed have been appointed as the greatest sounds of all Muse's track by some mainstream critics, praising the styles and bringing the best composition into this album, implying those two tracks is going to be the new Stockholm Syndrome<br />
<br />
Critic also spotted the last track, We Are Fucking Fucked, as a perfect closer to highlighting the straightforward lyrics that deliver the powerful chorus, which is giving a throwback to Showbiz and Black Holes and Revelations era. <br />
<br />
The album was well-received amongst critics, with Kerrang rating it 4/5<ref>https://www.kerrang.com/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref>, and Riff Magazine rating it 9/10<ref>https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/muse-will-of-the-people/</ref>. Mark Beaumont of Classic Rock Magazine also rated the album 9/10,<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/826344566147645450/1009139460396564511/20220816_101141.jpg</ref> while Record Collector rated Will of the People with four stars and Gigwise gave the album a score of 8/10.<ref>https://www.gigwise.com/reviews/3425930/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref><br />
<br />
== Artwork & Design ==<br />
<br />
With [[Jesse Lee Stout]] back as their creative director, all the design and creative elements from the live shows, the music videos, and the rest of the art, are again intertwined with each other, like during [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulaiton Theory]]. The first design element of the album was the monogram (shown in the picture), consisting of letters "W", "O", "T" and "P". It first appeared on the single artwork for [[Won't Stand Down (single)|Won't Stand Down]].and was already speculated at that time, that the monogram might be linked to the album name. The monogram makes appearances throughout the entirety of the album era.<br />
<br />
The artwork, made by Portuguese digital artist Tiago Marinho, is set somewhere in a post-apocalyptic city, located in the middle of some desert (the design is very similar to the post-apocalyptic London, shown on the [[Sing for Absolution (single)|Sing for Absolution]] single artwork), and shows large demolished statues of the band's heads, with a group of rioters, later revealed to be the "masked hackers", standing next to them. The character of this "masked hacker", also dubbed as "Will" (hailing from the album's name), wears a reflective mask, which, like the monogram, also appears throughout the entire album cycle.<br />
<br />
On the cover, each of the three demolished heads has graffiti sprayed all over them. These include the WOTP monograms scattered on each of the heads, aswel as names of songs. Other words written as graffiti include "''Die''" and "''Fuck off''" on Matt's head, both lines from the songs. Dom's head also includes "''IX''" written on it in Roman numerals, standing for the album being their ninth one. This is the first artwork since [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]] to not feature the Muse logo, or the album name on the art itself. It is also the second album artwork in a row / second main album artwork alltogether, to feature the bands' faces.<br />
<br />
The story behind the album artwork is represented in the music video for the single, [[Will of the People (video)|Will of the People]].<br />
<br />
== Touring ==<br />
<br />
On March 20th, 2022, several fans have spotted graffiti and stickers with the, then unknown monogram, in and around the [[London Shepherd's Bush Empire|Shepherd's Bush Empire]] area in the Shepherd's Bush district of London, UK. It was unknown what exactly this meant at the time. Some have suggested that it was just a marketing campaign, while others have suggested a surprise show was going to take place soon.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/thw71x/outside_shepherds_bush_empire/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/ti83hq/loads_more_stickersgraffiti_near_shepherds_bush/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/ti1kmm/another_one_in_soho_london_near_cinema_house/</ref> Two fundraising concerts, in support of the album, were announced a week after the graffiti started to appear, on March 28th, which took place on [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 9th (gig)|May 9th]] and [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 10th (gig)|May 10th]], at London's Eventim Apollo. Muse supported War Child & Médecins Sans Frontières on night one, and The Big Issue on night two.<ref>https://www.eventimapollo.com/events/detail/muse</ref> Prior to the two shows, a very small gig, kept in complete secrecy, was performed on [[Exeter Cavern Club 2022 (gig)|April 7th, 2022, at Exeter's Cavern Club]]. The gig was recorded for "''Jim Beam's Welcome Sessions''". <br />
<br />
The [[Will of the People Festivals Tour]] was the first largest tour of the album era. It took place between summer and winter of 2022. The band headlined festivals across Europe, with an additional few gigs on U.S. festivals. The show itself, at times, loosely resembled that of [[Simulation Theory World Tour]]'s, having a large [[Murph the Robot|Murph]]-inspired inflatable figure on stage, overlooking the band and the crowd, and "The Power Glove" returning. During the festivals tour, a smaller tour, called the [[Will of the People Theatre Tour|Will Of The People Theatre Tour]], was announced in June of 2022. On it, Muse were performing in smaller venues across Europe and the USA. Some of them haven't seen Muse perform live in almost 20 years. The tour took place during the main legs of the festivals tour, in October 2022.<br />
<br />
A [[Will of the People World Tour|bigger headlining tour]] is currently taking place, including both indoor, outdoor and festival shows. The tour began in Mexico in January of 2023, headed to North America in the spring and Europe in the summer, before finishing off in Kuala Lumpur in August of 2023.<br />

== Information ==<br />
<br />
The goal of the album, ever since ideas for it arose in late 2019, was that it would explore current events in the world. Since a lot has happened during these years, it, thematically, explores everything from Black Lives Matter protests, to the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdowns, to the 2021 Capitol riots, and much more. <br />
<br />
According to Muse, "''Will of the People was created in Los Angeles and London and is influenced by increasing uncertainty and instability in the world. A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests & riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilisation of the global order all informed Will of the People. It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which we have cradled us for so long are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.''"<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLgvvBqtzI/</ref><br />
<br />
In an interview with Zane Lowe, upon announcing the album, on March 17th, 2022, Bellamy said about it, that the label originally planned them to release a best-of compilation of existing songs (later elaborating on that, saying that a "Best-Of Album" possibility is in their contract<ref>https://youtu.be/yniTwqdNX3A</ref>). They instead decided to make a new album, which, musically, encapsulates and recaps the Muse's best work from past albums. As Bellamy said in an interview with a French radio station "RTL 2" in June of 2022, with the release of [[Origin of Muse (box set)|Origin of Muse]] and [[Origin of Symmetry|Origin of Symmetry's 20th Anniversary Remix]], the band listened to a lot of their old music during the writing and recording process, and were thinking about certain things and ideas that they tried to do in the past, but they didn't work out. As an example, he mentioned [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]]; Saying that "''2 to 3 times in our career, we've tried to create something that kind of...resembled metal or something, but we couldn't quite go there''".<ref>https://youtu.be/yniTwqdNX3A</ref> As such, as mentioned by Bellamy on the Zane Lowe interview, the album goes "''all the way, from metal, to pop, to my first version of an Adele piano-like song, to electronica''", featuring songs like [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]], which is ''"the best prog metal song they've ever done that could've been on [[Drones (album)|Drones]]"'', becoming a fan-favourite after just a few live performances, and [[We Are Fucking Fucked (song)|We Are Fucking Fucked]], which he sees as "''the weirdest, darkest lost B-side of Muse's life''", while also including songs like [[Liberation (song)|Liberation]], which is, according to NME, a Queen-like ballad song and [[Verona (song)|Verona]], bringing "purity to the nostalgic electronic textures", as described by Warner themselves .<ref>https://www.nme.com/big-reads/muse-cover-interview-2022-will-of-the-people-3243209</ref><br />
<br />
In the same interview, he mentioned that he let Dom Howard take the lead in terms of decisions on this album, jokingly saying that this is why the album, from start to finish, took so long, saying that Howard took time with the process. On top of that, he added that the album was self-produced by the band themselves,<ref>https://youtu.be/BiD9f59oo1w</ref> however it was made with help and assistance from [[Aleks Von Korff]].<br />
<br />
Taking in account previous mention of Bellamy's idea of 'era blending' and 'best-of' album, Will of The People presents songs that are reminiscent of their previous albums, Will Of The People harks back to songs like Psycho and Uprising; Compliance seemingly a new feature, presents influences from the 90s with a texture from Simulation Theory; Liberation is a song that could have been released on The Resistance; Won't Stand Down, presents patterns and verses that could have been present on Origin of Symmetry with its metal influence with the strings; Ghosts (How Can I Move On), a song that could be the one that Matt described as an 'Adele type of song'; You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween, a song that could be released Simulation Theory with its 80's inspired sound ala Rockwell's Somebody's Watching Me; Kill or Be Killed, is intriguing due the mix of influences, ranging from Absolution, and Black Holes and Revelations to Drones with its metal riffs; Verona presents sounds similar the ones from The 2nd Law, like Follow Me and Madness, with its synths and U2 esque patterns and riffs; Euphoria, similar to the songs from Simulation Theory, presents synths straight out of the 70s and 80s, similar to the works of Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder; Finally, the closer, 'We Are Fucking Fucked', presents sounds harking back to Showbiz, Origin of Symmetry and The 2nd Law with a riff similar to Knights of Cydonia.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
After the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]] ended in 2019, Bellamy came up with the idea for the album, which, according to his interview with NME, was that they'd "''make it a bit more about what’s actually happening in the world right now''", adding "''what I didn’t know was what was about to happen.''" <ref>https://www.nme.com/big-reads/muse-cover-interview-2022-will-of-the-people-3243209?utm_source=hootsuite&utm_medium=&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=</ref> Later, in January of 2020, Matt first publicly hinted at working on new Muse material in an interview with ALT 98.7 FM, backstage at the ALTerEGO Festival. He said that the goal for 2020 was to work on new Muse material. The plans were brought to halt due to the coronavirus pandemic, as the three were unable to get together due to the lockdowns. Bellamy instead focused on releasing his solo material. Later that year, in May, Matt further hinted on working on Muse material in an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, saying that he has a few pieces written that are suited for Muse.<ref>https://youtu.be/wGHqxU-63HM?t=292</ref> In an interview with Rolling Stone, also in May, he said that that the idea would be to record the album in 2021 and go on a tour in 2022.<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/muse-matt-bellamy-interview-coronavirus-quarantine-999208/</ref><br />
<br />
Later, in 2021, Bellamy further confirmed that work on the new Muse album has begun, in an interview with [[The Jaded Hearts Club|The Jaded Hearts Club Band]] for The Sun.<ref>https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12884819/matt-bellamy-thought-jaded-hearts-club-were-the-beatles/</ref> Bellamy said the following: ''"I started writing when all the protests and all the chaos were kicking off. It’s a weird thing to say but it suits the music I write. It keeps you a little bit on edge."'' Additionally, Bellamy jokingly said, in an Instagram comment reply on [https://www.instagram.com/p/COBjSGLhFzP/ Dom Howard's Instagram post], that the album would include "emotional gasps and many usages of the word ‘soul’.". <br />
<br />
Bellamy also had once got imbued with the recent label's request to release the greatest hits album of Muse's iconic songs from each eighth album they recorded, but they turned down the request and instead, they decide to produce a new album that combined with all various sounds and influences from each of their previous album into a new and fresh package with an additional comment by him as "a greatest hits album - of a new songs - essentially" <ref>https://www.nme.com/news/music/matt-bellamy-says-muses-will-of-the-people-is-a-greatest-hits-album-of-new-songs-3226398</ref> during Matt's interview with NME and the band interview with French radio talk show. <br />
<br />
The album, and its release date (August 26th, 2022) was finally announced on March 17th, 2022, together with the release of [[Compliance (single)|Compliance]]. The announcement, being six months apart from the release date, was met with mixed feelings from fans, however, since then, one more song has been released, another one performed live, and the fourth song still planned to be released before the album drops. Ordering the album from the official muse.mu website gives the buyer an exclusive chance to access the ticket pre-sale code for future gigs.<br />
<br />
== Recording ==<br />
<br />
In a 2019 interview with NME, Bellamy said that he'd like the idea of the band "totally resetting" and going back to their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon to rehearse and record the album. This was, however, not the case, as the first studio pictures that started to emerge were from Bellamy's own studio, named the [[Red Room Studio|Red Room]], located in downtown Santa Monica, California, where, in March of 2021, the first proof of Muse being in the studio came from<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CMT4hOxjpeI/</ref> The album was both written and part-recorded in the studio. With Chris in the UK and the rest of the band in the USA, and with all the lockdowns, this was mostly done remotely. Producer [[Aleks Von Korff]], who previously worked with Muse as an engineer on [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]], and produced Bellamy's solo material - songs like [[Tomorrow's World (Matthew Bellamy song)|Tomorrow's World]] - also posted a picture from Red Room during that time, with the wooden Kawai piano. <br />
<br />
Between April and June 2021, the band took a break from recording, to work on a remix of [[Origin_of_Symmetry_(album)#Origin_of_Symmetry:_XX_Anniversary_RemiXX|Origin of Symmetry]]. In early June, Matt and Dom joined Chris in the UK, continuing work on the album.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6Xo7IjPs1/</ref> With the entire band back together in person, recording continued at [[Abbey Road Studios]] in London, in the summer of 2021. The band were also joined by Muse's long-time engineer, [[Adrian Bushby]], who posted a picture of him and Howard at [[Abbey Road Studios]] tracking drums.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBaoDFtHHk/?utm_medium=copy_link</ref> This makes the upcoming album the second LP to be partially recorded at Abbey Road, after 20 years, when [[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]] was recorded at the facility. The album appears to have also been partially recorded at [[RAK Studios]] at the end of 2021, with Tre Cool from [[Green Day]] mentioned meeting up with Muse during their stay at the studio whilst recording their album, ''Saviors''.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/19bdc8s/tre_from_green_day_mentions_muse_recording/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button</ref><br />
<br />
On December 1st, 2021, Chris Gehringer, mastering engineer at [[Sterling Sound Studios]] posted a picture of Bellamy and Howard sitting on a couch, with the entire album at the mastering stage during that time. <ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CW9SHCXPtJy/</ref><br />
<br />
== Release ==<br />
[[File:MUSE 2022 2000-696x442.jpg|thumb|right|First WOTP promo pic for Won't Stand Down<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CYb-0PFL5xU/</ref>]]<br />
On December 25th, 2021, Bellamy made up for the lack of a muse.mu Christmas present with a short livestream from his Tesla, on Muse's Instagram profile, showcasing part of [[Won't Stand Down (single)|Won't Stand Down]]. The 60 second stream was then screen-recorded by a few people, with copyright bots deleting the posts, hinting at the song being near its release. Matt's minute-long stream can be listened to [https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/romrcw/full_60_second_preview_of_new_song_wont_stand/ here]. The then-approaching release of the song was teased once again on Muse's New Years Eve Instagram post, when they wrote a caption saying "Looking forward to WSD. We'll see you on the other side!", before quickly replacing "WSD" with "2022". [[Won't Stand Down (single)|Won't Stand Down]] was subsequently announced a week later, on January 7th, 2022, on Muse's social media<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CYbuFCOKPfv/</ref>, with [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/ wontstanddown.muse.mu] spotted being online a day earlier. Together with it also came the single artwork and a new promo image of the band. The song was released on January 13th, 2022, on digital platforms. <br />
<br />
Almost two months later, on March 2nd, 2022, Bellamy posted an Instagram story in which he went over the guitar tuning for Won't Stand Down, while mentioning that a second heavy song will appear on the album.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/t5fv8w/from_matts_instagram_story/</ref><br />
<br />
On March 9th, 2022, Muse posted a short, half-minute album teaser video on their YouTube, simply titled "MUSE", which depicts statues of the band's heads being torn down by a group of rioters in the middle of a desert, while wearing mirror masks from the Won't Stand Down music video, with a choir of Matts chanting the line "The Will of the People", name of the album and title track, with album artwork displayed at the very end of the video.<ref>https://youtu.be/nzHnwHzp9o4</ref> <br />
<br />
Two days later, on March 11th, 2022, it was discovered by Muse fans that the index code from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], contains basic album info, including the tracklist and anagrams for each song which will appear on the album. The same day, Muse announced a new song/single, [[Compliance (single)|Compliance]]. The song, and its music video, leaked on March 15th through Vimeo, before being deleted from the platform on the same day. A day later, anagrams from the wontstanddown index code were also resolved, leaking song titles and the tracklist. Compliance's music video was announced together with the album name on March 16th<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLgvvBqtzI/</ref>.<br />
<br />
The album's release date has finally been announced, together with the release of [[Compliance (single)|Compliance]], on March 17th, 2022. It is available for pre-ordering via [https://willofthepeople.muse.mu/ willofthepeople.muse.mu] and is set to be released on August 26th, 2022.<br />
<br />
Matt reportedly said, to one of the fans after one of the [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 9th (gig)|London Apollo charity gigs]], in May of 2022, that they intend to release two more songs before the album drops. A day after the second gig, on May 11th, Apple Music began to show the track duration for the title song, while a few days later, on May 13th, a release date for the song was set up for it on Amazon.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/uo8gxb/will_of_the_people_released_as_a_single_on_june/</ref> This led fans to speculate, that [[Will of the People (single)|Will of the People]] would be the next single from the album. The song was later leaked on May 26th, 2022, while the official release date of June 1st was announced a day later, on May 27th.<br />
<br />
After being played on every gig of the [[Will of the People Summer Festivals Tour]] in June & July of 2022, it was announced by Muse on July 13th, 2022, that [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]] would be the next song to be released from the album. It was released on July 21st, 2022, at 3PM BST.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf9Hw7SqHJD/</ref> This is also the last single before the album drop.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact that some people were able to get hold of the album earlier, on August 22nd, short snippets (phone recordings) of the unreleased songs from the album were leaked on Twitter, exception being [[We Are Fucking Fucked (song)|We Are Fucking Fucked]].<ref>https://twitter.com/WOT_Musers</ref> A day later, on August 23rd, the fifth single was announced by Muse, being [[You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween (single)|You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween]]. The single, and it's music video, are due to be released on August 26th, together with the album.<br />
<br />
On August 1st, 2022, it was announced, that Will of the People would also be releasing as an NFT, available on the platform called "Serenade".<ref>https://serenade.co/@muse/will-of-the-people</ref> Limited to 1000 copies, it is the first new music format to be charted in the UK since 2015, when music streaming data started counting in the charts, alongside CD, LP and download sales. The NFT cover art is slightly different to the standard one, featuring a purple/blue colour scheme, instead of the orange/blue one, and also featuring Muse's signatures on the digital cover itself.<br />
<br />
On November 24th, 2022, it was announced by Muse that a new single, [[Ghosts (How Can I Move On) (feat. Elisa) (single)|Ghosts (How Can I Move On)]], featuring Italian singer, [[Elisa Toffoli]] would be released the next day. <br />
<br />
On December 9th, 2022, [[Ghosts (How Can I Move On) (feat. Mylène Farmer) (single)|Ghosts (How Can I Move On)]] was announced to have a second single, featuring French singer, [[Mylène Farmer]] and was released simultaneously.<br />
<br />
== Critical Reception ==<br />
<br />
After the release, Metacritic scored the album in 71 out of 100, indicating the generally positive and favourable reviews. It was also commercially successful to become the Muse's seventh UK No.1 album. NME described the ninth album as their "best music in these years" and more respectable than their previous awkward trend-chasing album "Simulation Theory"<ref>https://www.nme.com/en_asia/reviews/album/muse-will-of-the-people-review-3297994</ref>. Won't Stand Down and Kill or Be Killed have been appointed as the greatest sounds of all Muse's track by some mainstream critics, praising the styles and bringing the best composition into this album, implying those two tracks is going to be the new Stockholm Syndrome<br />
<br />
Critic also spotted the last track, We Are Fucking Fucked, as a perfect closer to highlighting the straightforward lyrics that deliver the powerful chorus, which is giving a throwback to Showbiz and Black Holes and Revelations era. <br />
<br />
The album was well-received amongst critics, with Kerrang rating it 4/5<ref>https://www.kerrang.com/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref>, and Riff Magazine rating it 9/10<ref>https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/muse-will-of-the-people/</ref>. Mark Beaumont of Classic Rock Magazine also rated the album 9/10,<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/826344566147645450/1009139460396564511/20220816_101141.jpg</ref> while Record Collector rated Will of the People with four stars and Gigwise gave the album a score of 8/10.<ref>https://www.gigwise.com/reviews/3425930/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref><br />
<br />
== Artwork & Design ==<br />
<br />
With [[Jesse Lee Stout]] back as their creative director, all the design and creative elements from the live shows, the music videos, and the rest of the art, are again intertwined with each other, like during [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulaiton Theory]]. The first design element of the album was the monogram (shown in the picture), consisting of letters "W", "O", "T" and "P". It first appeared on the single artwork for [[Won't Stand Down (single)|Won't Stand Down]].and was already speculated at that time, that the monogram might be linked to the album name. The monogram makes appearances throughout the entirety of the album era.<br />
<br />
The artwork, made by Portuguese digital artist Tiago Marinho, is set somewhere in a post-apocalyptic city, located in the middle of some desert (the design is very similar to the post-apocalyptic London, shown on the [[Sing for Absolution (single)|Sing for Absolution]] single artwork), and shows large demolished statues of the band's heads, with a group of rioters, later revealed to be the "masked hackers", standing next to them. The character of this "masked hacker", also dubbed as "Will" (hailing from the album's name), wears a reflective mask, which, like the monogram, also appears throughout the entire album cycle.<br />
<br />
On the cover, each of the three demolished heads has graffiti sprayed all over them. These include the WOTP monograms scattered on each of the heads, aswel as names of songs. Other words written as graffiti include "''Die''" and "''Fuck off''" on Matt's head, both lines from the songs. Dom's head also includes "''IX''" written on it in Roman numerals, standing for the album being their ninth one. This is the first artwork since [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]] to not feature the Muse logo, or the album name on the art itself. It is also the second album artwork in a row / second main album artwork alltogether, to feature the bands' faces.<br />
<br />
The story behind the album artwork is represented in the music video for the single, [[Will of the People (video)|Will of the People]].<br />

On March 20th, 2022, several fans have spotted graffiti and stickers with the, then unknown monogram, in and around the [[London Shepherd's Bush Empire|Shepherd's Bush Empire]] area in the Shepherd's Bush district of London, UK. It was unknown what exactly this meant at the time. Some have suggested that it was just a marketing campaign, while others have suggested a surprise show was going to take place soon.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/thw71x/outside_shepherds_bush_empire/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/ti83hq/loads_more_stickersgraffiti_near_shepherds_bush/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/ti1kmm/another_one_in_soho_london_near_cinema_house/</ref> Two fundraising concerts, in support of the album, were announced a week after the graffiti started to appear, on March 28th, which took place on [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 9th (gig)|May 9th]] and [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 10th (gig)|May 10th]], at London's Eventim Apollo. Muse supported War Child & Médecins Sans Frontières on night one, and The Big Issue on night two.<ref>https://www.eventimapollo.com/events/detail/muse</ref> Prior to the two shows, a very small gig, kept in complete secrecy, was performed on [[Exeter Cavern Club 2022 (gig)|April 7th, 2022, at Exeter's Cavern Club]]. The gig was recorded for "''Jim Beam's Welcome Sessions''". <br />
<br />
The [[Will of the People Festivals Tour]] was the first largest tour of the album era. It took place between summer and winter of 2022. The band headlined festivals across Europe, with an additional few gigs on U.S. festivals. The show itself, at times, loosely resembled that of [[Simulation Theory World Tour]]'s, having a large [[Murph the Robot|Murph]]-inspired inflatable figure on stage, overlooking the band and the crowd, and "The Power Glove" returning. During the festivals tour, a smaller tour, called the [[Will of the People Theatre Tour|Will Of The People Theatre Tour]], was announced in June of 2022. On it, Muse were performing in smaller venues across Europe and the USA. Some of them haven't seen Muse perform live in almost 20 years. The tour took place during the main legs of the festivals tour, in October 2022.<br />
<br />
A [[Will of the People World Tour|bigger headlining tour]] is currently taking place, including both indoor, outdoor and festival shows. The tour began in Mexico in January of 2023, headed to North America in the spring and Europe in the summer, before finishing off in Kuala Lumpur in August of 2023.<br />

== Information ==<br />
<br />
The goal of the album, ever since ideas for it arose in late 2019, was that it would explore current events in the world. Since a lot has happened during these years, it, thematically, explores everything from Black Lives Matter protests, to the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdowns, to the 2021 Capitol riots, and much more. <br />
<br />
According to Muse, "''Will of the People was created in Los Angeles and London and is influenced by increasing uncertainty and instability in the world. A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests & riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilisation of the global order all informed Will of the People. It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which we have cradled us for so long are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.''"<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLgvvBqtzI/</ref><br />
<br />
In an interview with Zane Lowe, upon announcing the album, on March 17th, 2022, Bellamy said about it, that the label originally planned them to release a best-of compilation of existing songs (later elaborating on that, saying that a "Best-Of Album" possibility is in their contract<ref>https://youtu.be/yniTwqdNX3A</ref>). They instead decided to make a new album, which, musically, encapsulates and recaps the Muse's best work from past albums. As Bellamy said in an interview with a French radio station "RTL 2" in June of 2022, with the release of [[Origin of Muse (box set)|Origin of Muse]] and [[Origin of Symmetry|Origin of Symmetry's 20th Anniversary Remix]], the band listened to a lot of their old music during the writing and recording process, and were thinking about certain things and ideas that they tried to do in the past, but they didn't work out. As an example, he mentioned [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]]; Saying that "''2 to 3 times in our career, we've tried to create something that kind of...resembled metal or something, but we couldn't quite go there''".<ref>https://youtu.be/yniTwqdNX3A</ref> As such, as mentioned by Bellamy on the Zane Lowe interview, the album goes "''all the way, from metal, to pop, to my first version of an Adele piano-like song, to electronica''", featuring songs like [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]], which is ''"the best prog metal song they've ever done that could've been on [[Drones (album)|Drones]]"'', becoming a fan-favourite after just a few live performances, and [[We Are Fucking Fucked (song)|We Are Fucking Fucked]], which he sees as "''the weirdest, darkest lost B-side of Muse's life''", while also including songs like [[Liberation (song)|Liberation]], which is, according to NME, a Queen-like ballad song and [[Verona (song)|Verona]], bringing "purity to the nostalgic electronic textures", as described by Warner themselves .<ref>https://www.nme.com/big-reads/muse-cover-interview-2022-will-of-the-people-3243209</ref><br />
<br />
In the same interview, he mentioned that he let Dom Howard take the lead in terms of decisions on this album, jokingly saying that this is why the album, from start to finish, took so long, saying that Howard took time with the process. On top of that, he added that the album was self-produced by the band themselves,<ref>https://youtu.be/BiD9f59oo1w</ref> however it was made with help and assistance from [[Aleks Von Korff]].<br />
<br />
Taking in account previous mention of Bellamy's idea of 'era blending' and 'best-of' album, Will of The People presents songs that are reminiscent of their previous albums, Will Of The People harks back to songs like Psycho and Uprising; Compliance seemingly a new feature, presents influences from the 90s with a texture from Simulation Theory; Liberation is a song that could have been released on The Resistance; Won't Stand Down, presents patterns and verses that could have been present on Origin of Symmetry with its metal influence with the strings; Ghosts (How Can I Move On), a song that could be the one that Matt described as an 'Adele type of song'; You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween, a song that could be released Simulation Theory with its 80's inspired sound ala Rockwell's Somebody's Watching Me; Kill or Be Killed, is intriguing due the mix of influences, ranging from Absolution, and Black Holes and Revelations to Drones with its metal riffs; Verona presents sounds similar the ones from The 2nd Law, like Follow Me and Madness, with its synths and U2 esque patterns and riffs; Euphoria, similar to the songs from Simulation Theory, presents synths straight out of the 70s and 80s, similar to the works of Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder; Finally, the closer, 'We Are Fucking Fucked', presents sounds harking back to Showbiz, Origin of Symmetry and The 2nd Law with a riff similar to Knights of Cydonia.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
After the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]] ended in 2019, Bellamy came up with the idea for the album, which, according to his interview with NME, was that they'd "''make it a bit more about what’s actually happening in the world right now''", adding "''what I didn’t know was what was about to happen.''" <ref>https://www.nme.com/big-reads/muse-cover-interview-2022-will-of-the-people-3243209?utm_source=hootsuite&utm_medium=&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=</ref> Later, in January of 2020, Matt first publicly hinted at working on new Muse material in an interview with ALT 98.7 FM, backstage at the ALTerEGO Festival. He said that the goal for 2020 was to work on new Muse material. The plans were brought to halt due to the coronavirus pandemic, as the three were unable to get together due to the lockdowns. Bellamy instead focused on releasing his solo material. Later that year, in May, Matt further hinted on working on Muse material in an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, saying that he has a few pieces written that are suited for Muse.<ref>https://youtu.be/wGHqxU-63HM?t=292</ref> In an interview with Rolling Stone, also in May, he said that that the idea would be to record the album in 2021 and go on a tour in 2022.<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/muse-matt-bellamy-interview-coronavirus-quarantine-999208/</ref><br />
<br />
Later, in 2021, Bellamy further confirmed that work on the new Muse album has begun, in an interview with [[The Jaded Hearts Club|The Jaded Hearts Club Band]] for The Sun.<ref>https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12884819/matt-bellamy-thought-jaded-hearts-club-were-the-beatles/</ref> Bellamy said the following: ''"I started writing when all the protests and all the chaos were kicking off. It’s a weird thing to say but it suits the music I write. It keeps you a little bit on edge."'' Additionally, Bellamy jokingly said, in an Instagram comment reply on [https://www.instagram.com/p/COBjSGLhFzP/ Dom Howard's Instagram post], that the album would include "emotional gasps and many usages of the word ‘soul’.". <br />
<br />
Bellamy also had once got imbued with the recent label's request to release the greatest hits album of Muse's iconic songs from each eighth album they recorded, but they turned down the request and instead, they decide to produce a new album that combined with all various sounds and influences from each of their previous album into a new and fresh package with an additional comment by him as "a greatest hits album - of a new songs - essentially" <ref>https://www.nme.com/news/music/matt-bellamy-says-muses-will-of-the-people-is-a-greatest-hits-album-of-new-songs-3226398</ref> during Matt's interview with NME and the band interview with French radio talk show. <br />
<br />
The album, and its release date (August 26th, 2022) was finally announced on March 17th, 2022, together with the release of [[Compliance (single)|Compliance]]. The announcement, being six months apart from the release date, was met with mixed feelings from fans, however, since then, one more song has been released, another one performed live, and the fourth song still planned to be released before the album drops. Ordering the album from the official muse.mu website gives the buyer an exclusive chance to access the ticket pre-sale code for future gigs.<br />
<br />
== Recording ==<br />
<br />
In a 2019 interview with NME, Bellamy said that he'd like the idea of the band "totally resetting" and going back to their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon to rehearse and record the album. This was, however, not the case, as the first studio pictures that started to emerge were from Bellamy's own studio, named the [[Red Room Studio|Red Room]], located in downtown Santa Monica, California, where, in March of 2021, the first proof of Muse being in the studio came from<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CMT4hOxjpeI/</ref> The album was both written and part-recorded in the studio. With Chris in the UK and the rest of the band in the USA, and with all the lockdowns, this was mostly done remotely. Producer [[Aleks Von Korff]], who previously worked with Muse as an engineer on [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]], and produced Bellamy's solo material - songs like [[Tomorrow's World (Matthew Bellamy song)|Tomorrow's World]] - also posted a picture from Red Room during that time, with the wooden Kawai piano. <br />
<br />
Between April and June 2021, the band took a break from recording, to work on a remix of [[Origin_of_Symmetry_(album)#Origin_of_Symmetry:_XX_Anniversary_RemiXX|Origin of Symmetry]]. In early June, Matt and Dom joined Chris in the UK, continuing work on the album.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6Xo7IjPs1/</ref> With the entire band back together in person, recording continued at [[Abbey Road Studios]] in London, in the summer of 2021. The band were also joined by Muse's long-time engineer, [[Adrian Bushby]], who posted a picture of him and Howard at [[Abbey Road Studios]] tracking drums.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBaoDFtHHk/?utm_medium=copy_link</ref> This makes the upcoming album the second LP to be partially recorded at Abbey Road, after 20 years, when [[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]] was recorded at the facility. The album appears to have also been partially recorded at [[RAK Studios]] at the end of 2021, with Tre Cool from [[Green Day]] mentioned meeting up with Muse during their stay at the studio whilst recording their album, ''Saviors''.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/19bdc8s/tre_from_green_day_mentions_muse_recording/</ref><br />
<br />
On December 1st, 2021, Chris Gehringer, mastering engineer at [[Sterling Sound Studios]] posted a picture of Bellamy and Howard sitting on a couch, with the entire album at the mastering stage during that time. <ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CW9SHCXPtJy/</ref><br />
<br />
== Release ==<br />
[[File:MUSE 2022 2000-696x442.jpg|thumb|right|First WOTP promo pic for Won't Stand Down<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CYb-0PFL5xU/</ref>]]<br />
On December 25th, 2021, Bellamy made up for the lack of a muse.mu Christmas present with a short livestream from his Tesla, on Muse's Instagram profile, showcasing part of [[Won't Stand Down (single)|Won't Stand Down]]. The 60 second stream was then screen-recorded by a few people, with copyright bots deleting the posts, hinting at the song being near its release. Matt's minute-long stream can be listened to [https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/romrcw/full_60_second_preview_of_new_song_wont_stand/ here]. The then-approaching release of the song was teased once again on Muse's New Years Eve Instagram post, when they wrote a caption saying "Looking forward to WSD. We'll see you on the other side!", before quickly replacing "WSD" with "2022". [[Won't Stand Down (single)|Won't Stand Down]] was subsequently announced a week later, on January 7th, 2022, on Muse's social media<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CYbuFCOKPfv/</ref>, with [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/ wontstanddown.muse.mu] spotted being online a day earlier. Together with it also came the single artwork and a new promo image of the band. The song was released on January 13th, 2022, on digital platforms. <br />
<br />
Almost two months later, on March 2nd, 2022, Bellamy posted an Instagram story in which he went over the guitar tuning for Won't Stand Down, while mentioning that a second heavy song will appear on the album.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/t5fv8w/from_matts_instagram_story/</ref><br />
<br />
On March 9th, 2022, Muse posted a short, half-minute album teaser video on their YouTube, simply titled "MUSE", which depicts statues of the band's heads being torn down by a group of rioters in the middle of a desert, while wearing mirror masks from the Won't Stand Down music video, with a choir of Matts chanting the line "The Will of the People", name of the album and title track, with album artwork displayed at the very end of the video.<ref>https://youtu.be/nzHnwHzp9o4</ref> <br />
<br />
Two days later, on March 11th, 2022, it was discovered by Muse fans that the index code from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], contains basic album info, including the tracklist and anagrams for each song which will appear on the album. The same day, Muse announced a new song/single, [[Compliance (single)|Compliance]]. The song, and its music video, leaked on March 15th through Vimeo, before being deleted from the platform on the same day. A day later, anagrams from the wontstanddown index code were also resolved, leaking song titles and the tracklist. Compliance's music video was announced together with the album name on March 16th<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLgvvBqtzI/</ref>.<br />
<br />
The album's release date has finally been announced, together with the release of [[Compliance (single)|Compliance]], on March 17th, 2022. It is available for pre-ordering via [https://willofthepeople.muse.mu/ willofthepeople.muse.mu] and is set to be released on August 26th, 2022.<br />
<br />
Matt reportedly said, to one of the fans after one of the [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 9th (gig)|London Apollo charity gigs]], in May of 2022, that they intend to release two more songs before the album drops. A day after the second gig, on May 11th, Apple Music began to show the track duration for the title song, while a few days later, on May 13th, a release date for the song was set up for it on Amazon.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/uo8gxb/will_of_the_people_released_as_a_single_on_june/</ref> This led fans to speculate, that [[Will of the People (single)|Will of the People]] would be the next single from the album. The song was later leaked on May 26th, 2022, while the official release date of June 1st was announced a day later, on May 27th.<br />
<br />
After being played on every gig of the [[Will of the People Summer Festivals Tour]] in June & July of 2022, it was announced by Muse on July 13th, 2022, that [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]] would be the next song to be released from the album. It was released on July 21st, 2022, at 3PM BST.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf9Hw7SqHJD/</ref> This is also the last single before the album drop.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact that some people were able to get hold of the album earlier, on August 22nd, short snippets (phone recordings) of the unreleased songs from the album were leaked on Twitter, exception being [[We Are Fucking Fucked (song)|We Are Fucking Fucked]].<ref>https://twitter.com/WOT_Musers</ref> A day later, on August 23rd, the fifth single was announced by Muse, being [[You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween (single)|You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween]]. The single, and it's music video, are due to be released on August 26th, together with the album.<br />
<br />
On August 1st, 2022, it was announced, that Will of the People would also be releasing as an NFT, available on the platform called "Serenade".<ref>https://serenade.co/@muse/will-of-the-people</ref> Limited to 1000 copies, it is the first new music format to be charted in the UK since 2015, when music streaming data started counting in the charts, alongside CD, LP and download sales. The NFT cover art is slightly different to the standard one, featuring a purple/blue colour scheme, instead of the orange/blue one, and also featuring Muse's signatures on the digital cover itself.<br />
<br />
On November 24th, 2022, it was announced by Muse that a new single, [[Ghosts (How Can I Move On) (feat. Elisa) (single)|Ghosts (How Can I Move On)]], featuring Italian singer, [[Elisa Toffoli]] would be released the next day. <br />
<br />
On December 9th, 2022, [[Ghosts (How Can I Move On) (feat. Mylène Farmer) (single)|Ghosts (How Can I Move On)]] was announced to have a second single, featuring French singer, [[Mylène Farmer]] and was released simultaneously.<br />
<br />
== Critical Reception ==<br />
<br />
After the release, Metacritic scored the album in 71 out of 100, indicating the generally positive and favourable reviews. It was also commercially successful to become the Muse's seventh UK No.1 album. NME described the ninth album as their "best music in these years" and more respectable than their previous awkward trend-chasing album "Simulation Theory"<ref>https://www.nme.com/en_asia/reviews/album/muse-will-of-the-people-review-3297994</ref>. Won't Stand Down and Kill or Be Killed have been appointed as the greatest sounds of all Muse's track by some mainstream critics, praising the styles and bringing the best composition into this album, implying those two tracks is going to be the new Stockholm Syndrome<br />
<br />
Critic also spotted the last track, We Are Fucking Fucked, as a perfect closer to highlighting the straightforward lyrics that deliver the powerful chorus, which is giving a throwback to Showbiz and Black Holes and Revelations era. <br />
<br />
The album was well-received amongst critics, with Kerrang rating it 4/5<ref>https://www.kerrang.com/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref>, and Riff Magazine rating it 9/10<ref>https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/muse-will-of-the-people/</ref>. Mark Beaumont of Classic Rock Magazine also rated the album 9/10,<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/826344566147645450/1009139460396564511/20220816_101141.jpg</ref> while Record Collector rated Will of the People with four stars and Gigwise gave the album a score of 8/10.<ref>https://www.gigwise.com/reviews/3425930/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref><br />
<br />
== Artwork & Design ==<br />
<br />
With [[Jesse Lee Stout]] back as their creative director, all the design and creative elements from the live shows, the music videos, and the rest of the art, are again intertwined with each other, like during [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulaiton Theory]]. The first design element of the album was the monogram (shown in the picture), consisting of letters "W", "O", "T" and "P". It first appeared on the single artwork for [[Won't Stand Down (single)|Won't Stand Down]].and was already speculated at that time, that the monogram might be linked to the album name. The monogram makes appearances throughout the entirety of the album era.<br />
<br />
The artwork, made by Portuguese digital artist Tiago Marinho, is set somewhere in a post-apocalyptic city, located in the middle of some desert (the design is very similar to the post-apocalyptic London, shown on the [[Sing for Absolution (single)|Sing for Absolution]] single artwork), and shows large demolished statues of the band's heads, with a group of rioters, later revealed to be the "masked hackers", standing next to them. The character of this "masked hacker", also dubbed as "Will" (hailing from the album's name), wears a reflective mask, which, like the monogram, also appears throughout the entire album cycle.<br />
<br />
On the cover, each of the three demolished heads has graffiti sprayed all over them. These include the WOTP monograms scattered on each of the heads, aswel as names of songs. Other words written as graffiti include "''Die''" and "''Fuck off''" on Matt's head, both lines from the songs. Dom's head also includes "''IX''" written on it in Roman numerals, standing for the album being their ninth one. This is the first artwork since [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]] to not feature the Muse logo, or the album name on the art itself. It is also the second album artwork in a row / second main album artwork alltogether, to feature the bands' faces.<br />
<br />
The story behind the album artwork is represented in the music video for the single, [[Will of the People (video)|Will of the People]].<br />
<br />
== Touring ==<br />
<br />
On March 20th, 2022, several fans have spotted graffiti and stickers with the, then unknown monogram, in and around the [[London Shepherd's Bush Empire|Shepherd's Bush Empire]] area in the Shepherd's Bush district of London, UK. It was unknown what exactly this meant at the time. Some have suggested that it was just a marketing campaign, while others have suggested a surprise show was going to take place soon.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/thw71x/outside_shepherds_bush_empire/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/ti83hq/loads_more_stickersgraffiti_near_shepherds_bush/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/ti1kmm/another_one_in_soho_london_near_cinema_house/</ref> Two fundraising concerts, in support of the album, were announced a week after the graffiti started to appear, on March 28th, which took place on [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 9th (gig)|May 9th]] and [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 10th (gig)|May 10th]], at London's Eventim Apollo. Muse supported War Child & Médecins Sans Frontières on night one, and The Big Issue on night two.<ref>https://www.eventimapollo.com/events/detail/muse</ref> Prior to the two shows, a very small gig, kept in complete secrecy, was performed on [[Exeter Cavern Club 2022 (gig)|April 7th, 2022, at Exeter's Cavern Club]]. The gig was recorded for "''Jim Beam's Welcome Sessions''". <br />
<br />
The [[Will of the People Festivals Tour]] was the first largest tour of the album era. It took place between summer and winter of 2022. The band headlined festivals across Europe, with an additional few gigs on U.S. festivals. The show itself, at times, loosely resembled that of [[Simulation Theory World Tour]]'s, having a large [[Murph the Robot|Murph]]-inspired inflatable figure on stage, overlooking the band and the crowd, and "The Power Glove" returning. During the festivals tour, a smaller tour, called the [[Will of the People Theatre Tour|Will Of The People Theatre Tour]], was announced in June of 2022. On it, Muse were performing in smaller venues across Europe and the USA. Some of them haven't seen Muse perform live in almost 20 years. The tour took place during the main legs of the festivals tour, in October 2022.<br />
<br />
A [[Will of the People World Tour|bigger headlining tour]] is currently taking place, including both indoor, outdoor and festival shows. The tour began in Mexico in January of 2023, headed to North America in the spring and Europe in the summer, before finishing off in Kuala Lumpur in August of 2023.<br />

<br />
== Description ==<br />
According to Dom and Matt initially, the song was going to be a quiet song and sweet with a gradual rise due Rich Costey ideas and that "There was something truly epic present when it was really quiet at the beginning" and then "It was changed just before recording, originally it was just a strange and quiet riff" but then it was reworked with a huge and monstrous chorus riff and end that gives it a really heavy effect.<ref name="RockMagSeptember2003"><br />

<br />
=== Live ===<br />
<br />
:''Main article: [[Stockholm Syndrome (live)]]''<br />
<br />
Standard set closer throughout the Absolution tour and sometimes during the Black Holes and Revelations tour. Usually multiple riffs are played after the song. An example of this is the L.A Staples Centre Gig in which more than eight riffs were played after Stockholm Syndrome.<br />
<br />
Since 2018, it has been played as part of the live [[metal medley]].<br />
<br />
=== Etymology ===<br />
The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage from August 23 to August 28, 1973. In this case, the victims became emotionally attached to, and even defended, their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal. The term was coined by the criminologist and psychologist Nils Bejerot, who assisted the police during the robbery, and referred to the syndrome in a news broadcast. The majority of the hostages were okay, but one of them committed suicide and another changed his name to that of one of his captors and disappeared.<br />
<br />
[[Dominic Howard|Dom]] explains that: 'Stockholm Syndrome', concerns a medical complaint whereby someone falls in love with the person that has kidnapped them; "In 1973 some bank robbers went to rob a bank and ended up taking six people hostage and it went on Tv, But the hostages ended up defending the captives in cout and one of the hostages got married to one of the captors"<ref name="NME20130913"><br />

<br />
=== Composition ===<br />
While this song was written on piano by [[Matthew Bellamy]], it was recorded on both guitar and synths. Matt then mixed both of the sounds together. The main riff was inspired by [[System of a Down]].<ref>Total Guitar - Matt Bellamy tells us the amazing story behind Absolution. September/2003]</ref><br />
<br />
Moving at a tempo of 128 beats per minute, the song is driven by a distorted guitar riff based on the D [[Phrygian dominant]] scale. The verses settle into a D minor riff, while the chorus marks a lighter turn, driven by piano, arpeggiated synth and harmonised vocals. It ends with a series of power chords, again in D Phrygian dominant.<br />
<br />
The song uses an opera sample ([https://www.spectrasonics.net/products/legacy/symphonyofvoices.php ‘Sopranos’, track 2 from Disc 2 of ‘Symphony of Voices’]) through a Kyma system before entering the final riff.<br />
<br />
== In popular culture ==<br />
The song was added to [[Guitar Hero 3]] on 8th May 2008 along with [[Supermassive Black Hole (song) | Supermassive Black Hole]] and [[Exo-Politics (song) | Exo-Politics]] as part of a Muse track pack.<br />
<br />
A cover of this song is featured on [[the String Quartet Tribute]] to Muse.<br />
<br />
Mike Portnoy of [[Dream Theater]] covered the intro on his drumming focused ‘‘In Constant Motion‘‘ DVD {{YT |XccQ7AYFRWM}}<br />
<br />
The song is amongst the secret songs available on Universal Studios Orlando's "Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit" under the code 123. <ref>https://www.bestoforlando.com/articles/secret-songs-on-universal-orlandos-hollywood-rip-ride-rockit%20/</ref><br />
<br />
=== Played backwards ===<br />
<br />
[http://www.musewiki.org/images/Inverted_Stockholm_Syndrome_Refrain.mp3 Listen]<br />
<br />
When the chorus is played backwards, it it said that these lyrics can be heard:<br />
<br />
"You can't see me, we sneak off. I lost to love. Please ... save the night wind and high above, I lost to love. Sing, save."<br />
<br />
== Lyrics ==<br />
{{lyrics<br />
|I won't stand in your way<br />
Let your hatred grow<br />
And she'll scream and she'll shout and she'll pray<br />
And she had a name, yeah she had a name<br />
<br />
I won't hold you back<br />
Let your anger rise<br />
And we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn<br />
No one will recall, no one will recall <br />
<br />
This is the last time I'll abandon you<br />
And this is<br />
The last time I'll forget you<br />
I wish I could<br />
<br />
Look to the stars<br />
Let hope burn in your eyes<br />
And we'll love and we'll hate and we'll die<br />
All to no avail, all to no avail <br />
<br />
This is the last time I'll abandon you <br />
And this is<br />
The last time I'll forget you <br />
I wish I could <br />
<br />
This is the last time I'll abandon you <br />
And this is<br />
The last time I'll forget you <br />
I wish I could <br />
I wish I could<br />

<div>[[File:DanLancasterMuseApollo22.jpg|thumb|right|Dan Lancaster playing with Muse at [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 9th (gig)|Eventim Apollo]] in London]]<br />
'''Dan Lancaster''' is a London-based producer, songwriter, artist and mixing engineer. A former lead singer and guitarist of British post-hardcore band Proceed (which broke up in 2012), he is mostly self-taught and active in music production since the late 2000s. According to Lancaster, the band gave him inspiration to start working as a producer and audio engineer. He is notable for working in metal, rock and pop genres.<br />
<br />
Lancaster has worked with artists which include Don Broco (producing and mixing most of their albums), [[Bring Me the Horizon]] (mixing songs on ''That's The Spirit'' & ''Amo'' and ''Post Human: Survival Horror'' & ''Music To Listen To...'' EPs), One OK Rock (producing and mixing their single ''Broken Heart Of Gold''), Blink 182 (mixing songs ''California'' & ''Left Alone''), [[Enter Shikari]] (mixing songs on ''Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible'') and Polyphia (mixing ''The Most Hated'' EP), amongst others. He also mixed [[Ed Sheeran]]'s song, made in collaboration with Bring Me The Horizon, ''Bad Habits''. Lancaster has also worked with [[One Ok Rock]], who went on to support Muse during the [[Will of the People World Tour]] in 2023, co-writing, producing and mixing the title track on the album "Eye of the Storm" and the single "Broken Heart of Gold". Recently, Lancaster has also gotten to collaborate and work with the likes of RØRY, [[The Warning]] and Måneskin.<br />
<br />
Lancaster has mixed Muse's [[Won't Stand Down (song)|Won't Stand Down]] off of the album [[Will of the People (album)|Will of the People]].<br />
<br />
== Touring with Muse ==<br />
<br />
In 2022, [[Morgan Nicholls]] announced on his Twitter that he would not be part of the [[Will of the People (album)|Will Of The People]] tour, wishing the band, the crew and the fans all the best.<ref>https://twitter.com/CaptMorganized/status/1523703554564796418</ref> As a result, Lancaster was utilised as Morgan's replacement on keys and synth, with his first show being on [[London Eventim Apollo 2022 - 9th (gig)|May 9th, 2022]] at London's Eventim Apollo.<br />
<br />
Like Morgan, Lancaster takes care over certain keyboard and vocoder parts, as well as percussion. He sings additional backing vocals, like the line "We can save you", audible on [[Compliance (song)|Compliance]]'s live version, the "M-M-M-M-Mad-Mad-Mad" part of [[Madness (live)|Madness]], backing vocals on [[Undisclosed Desires (live)|Undisclosed Desires]], additional backing vocals on [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]], as well as backing vocals on [[Assassin (song)|Assassin]]'s Grand Omega Bosses Edit version, which were formerly sung by Wolstenholme. He also plays lead guitar on songs such as Resistance, Starlight, Thought Contagion, Uprising, as well as the second guitar part on [[Will of the People (song)|Will of the People]]. Additionally, he also plays two electronic drum pads on [[Map of the Problematique (song)|Map of the Problematique]], [[Will of the People (song)|Will of the People]] and Uprising, and does the beatboxing during the solo on Compliance. Lancaster also puts more emphasis on triggering samples live, having a sample pad in his live setup.<br />
<br />
Lancaster seems to be handling more of the high range vocal parts for most songs, compared to Wolstenholme, but mostly sings in the mid range when Wolstenholme is singing in the higher ranges. For example in [[Time is Running Out (song)|Time is Running Out]], Lancaster sings the lows when Wolstenholme is singing mid range. He seems to have a higher vocal range than Morgan thus being more flexible. An example of this can be heard during [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]] during the Chorus.<br />
