<div>I think it's time this when from went from being a running commentary on the album to being a proper article now that official announcements are being made. [[User:۞|۞]] 15:19, 22 May 2009 (BST)<br />
:how about splitting it into 2 articles like [[Fourth album theory]] and [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)]]? --[[User:Wilfio|Wilfio]] 18:53, 22 May 2009 (BST)<br />
::Not sure about that since fourth album theory was basically a seperate entity, and this page was meant to transform into the final one...there's a few bits of irrelevent info that no one will want to read in a year's time, but a lot can be rearranged into a description of the recording and writing process. Like, ever single instance the 15-minute song was mentioned, it won't matter a year after the album was released...a lot of this can be reduced to single sentences with multiple references, or maybe just moved to the talk page or hidden in-article...like if someone really wanted to know when the third time a band member mentioned "electronic songs" on the album there's the history, it doesn't really warrant its own article [[User:۞|۞]] 18:58, 22 May 2009 (BST)<br />
:::Personally i find the way that information is slowly leaked and speculation as to possible inclusions to be really interesting and really enjoyed reading [[Fourth album theory]] after BHaR came out as i didnt follow muse as closely then as i do now. Then again there were more clues last time such as the setlist anagrams and cryptic forum posts. Anyone else got an opinion on this? --[[User:Wilfio|Wilfio]] 19:58, 22 May 2009 (BST)<br />
*I agree that it should be now condensed. Some of the running commentary info isn't needed anymore Such as speculation that the album won't be an album, we no know that it will be. I say we have a 'History' or 'Production' Section which includes this info, with less specificity & detail --[[User:Musername|Musername]] 20:44, 22 May 2009 (GMT)<br />

== Leaks ==<br />
<br />
Information obtained to leaks is not be added to Musewiki, lyrics for new songs for example. These can be added on the day of the first release date of The Resistance, or once the album is debuted in some other form. [[User:۞|Niall]] 19:27, 17 June 2009 (BST)<br />
:Even information which would in no way whatsoever point to said leaks? Such as lyrics, descriptions etc...? Seems a tad unnecessary. --[[User:Tene|Tene]] 20:39, 17 June 2009 (BST)<br />

What does it mean by USB?<br />
i dont get it =/<br />
<br />
whats USB?<br />
:What is meant by USB is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive USB Flash Drive]. Basically so people can put the songs on their computer without having to rip them from a CD. {{WilfSig}} 23:41, 5 August 2009 (BST)<br />
::Presumably. I've read of it being done before, mp3s on a re-writable USB stick. --[[User:Tene|Tene]] 00:11, 6 August 2009 (BST)<br />
:::so does the band get paid for that, or do you just have the songs on a USB and just give it too whoever wants it? cuz thats cheating isnt it?<br />
::::Well it's no different from a CD which you could also just give away. The USB will come with the box set which will also include the CD, Vinyl, Making of DVD and a poster and will cost considerably more than the standard CD. I assume the USB will be the same as the ones given away during Project Eurasia and will be Muse branded. {{WilfSig}} 11:35, 6 August 2009 (BST)<br />
<br />
*oh ok, i get it. i thought it was just a random USB some guy created of the album. but how do you know of this USB?<br />
**No, it is an official release by the band. They are putting a copy of the album on a USB stick, just like putting it on a CD....only on a USB drive. --Musername 20:07, 14 August 2009 (GMT)<br />
<br />
==Artwork==<br />
The front cover artwork could also be a reference to the [http://wpcontent.answers.com/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Paradiso_Canto_31.jpg/250px-Paradiso_Canto_31.jpg celestial spheres of heaven] from Dante's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy#Paradiso ''Divine Comedy'']. Should this be added or is it too far of a stretch? --[[User:Dyingatheist|Dyingatheist]] 18:19, 8 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Also, about the previous description on the page, I meant to indicate that it appeared to be the projection of a 4-sphere into 3-space, or possibly just a 3-sphere. Obviously it wouldn't be a 4-dimensional object, but rather the projection of it. Is that clearer? --[[User:Dyingatheist|Dyingatheist]] 15:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Plagiarized art ==<br />
<br />
I think it's worth to mention that the cover artist likely plagiarized from work by Jon Lomberg.<br />
<br />
https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/93quer/muses_resistance_album_cover_looks_a_lot_like_jon/ --[[User:LaserMoai|LaserMoai]] ([[User talk:LaserMoai|talk]]) 15:02, 10 March 2024 (GMT)<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh Yeah, we made a reference ''about it'' in the artwork section of the album. Honestly, we don't know if there was some kind of hidden arrangement or it was free of use, or maybe Lomberg just doesn't care... but the reference is there, we mentioned it, it appears in the wiki, in the The Resistance album's page, we don't deny anything... but we prefer to just mention things instead of giving explanations without a good reason... specially since, if we don't have evidence or the complete story by the artist, it might be gossiping and stuff, which might lead to legal stuff... ain't an interesting world, isn't it? – Greetings from Rei Meyer, the muser formerly known as Nepomuse [[User:Nepomuse|Nepomuse]] ([[User talk:Nepomuse|talk]]) 22:50, 10 March 2024 (GMT)</div>Nepomusehttp://musewiki.org/index.php?title=Assassin_(song)&diff=217976Assassin (song)2023-10-25T04:35:08Z<p>Nepomuse: /* Additional information */ "Debase mason's Grog" can be re-arranged as "Dom's Arse Goes Bang "</p>

<br />
==Description==<br />
Perhaps the Muse song that most reminds of [[System Of A Down|Daron Malakian's Armenian-tinged metal]] guitar playing. Bellamy's stabby guitar riffs are accompanied by a heavy bass line and thrashing drums. There are portions of the song where the drumming is the most audible, as in "[[Map of the Problematique (song)|Map of the Problematique]]". The vocals were overdubbed by [[Matthew Bellamy|Matt]] multiple times to create a barbershop quartet effect, complete with staccato "You-ou-ou-ou-ou"'s and harmonized 7th chords. The bridge section of the "Grand Omega Bosses edit" resembles [[Muse|the band's]] rendition of "[[Sergei Rachmaninov|Prelude In G Minor]]".<ref>{{cite<br />

Several major changes were made to the song compared to earlier live versions from 2005. Previously, it had a longer, more distorted intro, more varied percussion, most prominently contained a slow bridge between the first and second chorus, and was generally more progressive. The original drumming was used in "[[Map of the Problematique (song)|Map of the Problematique]]".<br />
<br />
The song is featured in the 2008 game Guitar Hero: World Tour as a playable track,<ref>{{cite<br />

==Recording==<br />
During recording, the bass drum had a "few" extra microphones, to record the "most definition possible". These microphones for the bass drum included one inside the drum and two outside. Capacitor microphones were used for the snare drums.<ref name="eq200703">{{cite/eq200703}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
An extended version of the song was reintroduced during the 2006 tour. This version includes a modified version of the omitted interlude, with different percussion and no vocals. While there are reports both of the interlude being placed in its original position and of extensions comprising of parts of the original version, these claims cannot be substantiated and some of these claims contradict the recordings.<ref>[http://muselive.com/forums.php?m=posts&p=510202#510202 muselive.com 20060924]</ref> Wolstenholme screams the line "Aim, shoot, kill your leaders" during the solo that's on the album.<ref>[[Denvore Hyundai Pavilion 2006 (gig)|Hyundai Pavilion 20060923]]</ref><br />
<br />
After several years of the song being dropped from the setlists (the last time being played at the [[Rīga Arēna 2007 (gig) | the 2nd of July 2007]] gig), it was attempted at the [[Belfast Ulster Hall 2015 (gig)|15{{supo|th}} March 2015]] gig in Belfast. It would have been played and the intro was started, but Matt apparently forgot how to play the song, so it was scrapped. However, it was played in it's extended form a few days later on [[Wales_Newport_Centre_2015_(gig) | 19{{supo|th}} March]] in Newport and continued to make occasional appearances throughout 2015/16.<br />
<br />
It once again returned in 2022 at the [[ Exeter Cavern Club 2022 (gig) | Exeter Cavern Club ]] gig in April which marked the first time the song had been played in it's original Grand Omega Bosses Edit form (which included the whammy lead guitar during the intro along with the breakdown being played during the middle of the song with the additional vocals) since its early performances in 2005. It was subsequently played at both London gigs in May 2022 and throughout the 2022 Theatre Tour towards the end of the year.<br />
<br />
[[Assassin (live) | More here]]<br />
<br />
==Alternate versions==<br />
It was reported that an extended version of "Assassin" was to be the B-Side for the [[Knights of Cydonia (single)|"Knights of Cydonia" single]] on the offical Muse site.<ref>[http://muse.mu muse.mu News 20061017]</ref> This was later clarified to be for B-Side to the vinyl and non-preordered digital formats, and that the name of it is "Grand Omega Bosses edit".<ref>[http://muse.mu muse.mu News 20061107]</ref> Grand Omega Bosses is an anagram for 'Debase Masons Grog', or 'Message Board Song', a former title during the 2005 [[cryptography]] game,<ref name="sl20050415"/> used to signify the then-untitled, extended version of "Assassin" on a set list. This version reinserts the interlude and lyrics featured in the 2005 live version, as well as adding a piano part during said interlude.<br />
<br />
The "Grand Omega Bosses edit" adds some depth to the interpretation of the song. Instead of one resisting alongside others (as in "join forces underground"), the importance of taking action before the isolation of resistance can be overcome is strengthened in the lyrics of the bridge (see "You're not alone / But you must actualise / The first attack"). Whilst at 3:11 Bellamy can be heard saying 'Go!' in the album version, this was removed on the "Grand Omega Bosses edit".<br />
<br />
The piano part within the 'Debase' interlude was added prior to the shortening of the song, rather than afterwards. Costey revealed that the band had been planning to release the "Grand Omega Bosses edit" for some time prior to its release.<ref name="eq200703"/><br />

== Information ==<br />
{{disco-info |<br />
''Absolution'' is Muse's third album and was released worldwide during September 2003. The songs featured on Absolution were written whilst Muse toured in support of ''[[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]]'' and ''[[Hullabaloo Soundtrack (live)|Hullabaloo]]'', with some songs such as "[[Fury (song) | Fury]]" originating as early as [[Bristol Fleece and Firkin 2000 (gig)|early 2000]]. Like the previous Muse album, ''Origin of Symmetry'', ''Absolution'' is influenced by classical composers such as [[Sergei Rachmaninov]] and [[Interlude (song) | Samuel Barber]], whilst "Endlessly" introduces a more electronic sound with songs such as "[[The Small Print (song) | The Small Print]]" and "[[Thoughts of a Dying Atheist (song) | Thoughts of a Dying Atheist]]" being guitar-led.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the album Matt started to writing songs about mundane home matters, according to Matt: "Showbiz was a bit of teenage angst, "Origin of Symmetry" was about going on tour all the time and losing connection with our family and friends so we don't really know anyone apart from ourselves and even ourselves we didn't know anymore and "Absolution" is more about us being personable, about us being normal people at home"<ref name="NME20130913"><br />

<br />
Matt said that he started to experience violent mood swings in the studio as the band was under a lot of pressure with self-doubts of which direction to take the album, to the point in which Matt even had dreams of being hung upside down by his ankles and getting the soles of his feet beaten.<ref name="mc20130920"><br />

}}</ref>: "The album goes from being the most amazing music I've heard in my life to the most laughable piece of shit I've ever heard within the space of a couple o minutes; I was moving between the extremes of doubt and absolute ridiculous confidence. There are moments when you, the rest of the band, the producer and the assistant producer all look at each other and think 'what the fuck are we doing? we've completely lost the plot'<ref name="NME20130913"/><br />
<br />
Matt explained that the songs are more "uplifting", mostly because he has fallen in love as he said: "I'm not married yet! But I've been drawn into this Italian world. I met this [[Gaia Polloni|girl]] from over there so I'm into all that" Also in the same interview he said: "I think there'll be some songs that are straightforward rock, some of my favourite new songs are like ABBA!"<ref>NME - Muse plug in again. September/2002</ref><br />
<br />
===Concept===<br />
<br />
Absolution is an album that talks about "the end of all things", being "Apocalypse Please" a literal metaphor of ending of things, Dom mentioned that "The end of the world is quite a terrifying and alarming thing. There are plenty of songs on the album talking about possible things going to an end. Be it the end of the world, of a relationship to somebody or of your job."<ref>{{cite/laut20031002}}</ref> With songs like 'Butterflies and Hurricanes' as an opposite to all since that song is about "finding hope and fighting things to make the best out of such situations".<br />
<br />
===Title===<br />
In an Interview about the name of the album Matt said: "I think the absolution is not necessarily a religious word; It has meanings of purity, but it's not necessarily talking from a Christian or any particular religious point of view. I think it's just suggesting that the act of making music is a way of understanding things." <ref>Hall or Nothing - Muse - Album Review: Absolution (9/10) September/2003</ref><br />
<br />
During 2002, Chris was quoted saying that the third album would be called "Universal Melodies". This would later be changed sometime into development.<ref>[https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/instantMUSEnger/conversations/topics/14813]</ref><br />
<br />
=== Recording ===<br />
The album was recorded at [[Grouse Lodge Residential Recording Studios|Grouse Lodge Studios]] in Ireland and [[Air Studios|AIR Studios]] in London during 2003.<ref name="soundonsound200312">{{cite/soundonsound200312}}</ref>, the songs "[[Fury (song) | Fury]]"<ref name="tk20050302">{{cite/muselive20050302}}</ref> and "[[Soldier's Poem (song) | Soldier's Poem]]"<ref name="ml20060601"><br />

}}</ref> were originally intended to appear on ''Absolution''. Whilst Matt wanted to keep "Fury" on the album, it was dropped in favour of "[[The Small Print (song) | The Small Print]]" as per Dom and Chris's preference,<ref name="tk20050302"/> and it became the Japanese bonus track and B-side to "[[Sing for Absolution (single)|Sing for Absolution]]". Matt suggested in 2008 that this was because the band did not like "Fury" as much after playing it live before the album's release.<ref name="nme20080813">{{cite/NME 2008-08-13}}</ref> "Soldier's Poem" was ultimately reworked for the follow-up to ''Absolution'', [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]].<ref name="ml20060601"/> Rich Costey began producing ''Absolution'' after a the tracks "[[Blackout (song) | Blackout]]" and "[[Butterflies & Hurricanes (song) | Butterflies & Hurricanes]]" were recorded with Paul Reeve, who co-produced ''[[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]]'' and John Cornfield, who engineered ''Showbiz'' and ''Orgin of Symmetry''.<ref name="soundonsound200312"/><br />

=== Pre-release ===<br />
The promo CD-R is encrypted so that the tracks cannot be ripped, and instead contains software through which the tracks can be played.<br />
<br />
=== Release ===<br />
There was a limited edition of ''Absolution'' released that featured a bonus DVD. The DVD had 40 minutes of 'The making of ''Absolution''' footage, as well as pictures to view. Some editions of ''Absolution'', including the limited editions, had inlay errors when it was released in September; the positions of "Interlude" and "Hysteria" were switched on the track list.<ref>''Absolution'' back inlay</ref> These could be returned and replaced with corrected inlays, although many were kept for collectors value.<br />
<br />
The first single, "[[Stockholm Syndrome (single)|Stockholm Syndrome]]", was released on the 14<sup>th</sup> July 2003.<br />
<br />
The Australian re-release contained an extra disc, featuring 6 tracks from the [[Sydney Showground 2004 - 23rd (gig)|Big Day Out 2004 (23<sup>rd</sup> Jan 2004)]] in Sydney.<br />
<br />

''Absolution'' was reissued in double 12" vinyl on the 18th of August, 2009 to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the debut album, ''Showbiz''.<br />
<br />
===Artwork===<br />
The artwork was designed by [[Storm Thorgerson]]. [[Dominic Howard]]: "The artwork can either been seen as people coming down to Earth or leaving the Earth, it's open to interpretation".<ref>Absolution EPK</ref><br />
<br />
(Excerpt from 'Taken by Storm - The Album Art by Storm Thorgerson')<br />
"Commissions come in many different ways and this one arrived via the very wonderful Internet, insomuch as Dom, the intrepid drummer of Muse, discovered a rough on our website which he thought might work for them.<br />
<br />
We met with Dom and agreed that we should try and render our pencil sketch as a real event: shadows of flying people spread across the ground as if cast by a squadron of flying craft, magical beings swooping over the Earth to the amazement of the viewer on the ground looking up. it is a though he is witnessing some mystical event, a visitation of strange beings, which can only be inferred by us, the viewers of the picture, because all we see are shadows, whereas the viewer of the picture seems them for real, gliding serenely overhead. He is deeply moved and experiences a kind of absolution as one might in the presence of a such a miraculous sight.<br />
<br />
The other thing I hoped the band liked as much as I did is the pattern made by the shadows which has, I feel, the appeal of all patterns, namely the symmetry, but not the meaningless repetition of wallpaper. I had imagined that these flying beings were like the strange creatures of our a children's story by Maurice Sendak, whose illustrious I much admired. It seemed important to maintain a texture in the ground, holes, pebbles, striations, etc, to provide a 3-D backcloth upon which the shadows could fall. A chalkpit was deemed appropriate since Muse had spent much of their teenage years hanging out in the chalkpits near their Devon homes. Doing what? I’d like to know.<br />
<br />
In pursuit again of the avowed philosophy of ‘doing it for real’, we made cut-out shapes from hardboard and fixed them on top of tall poles, took them to a chalkpit near London and photographed them in strong sunlight, thus to cast definite shadows. All very well you might think, except for the typical, crappy English weather, unpredictable yet grey, which meant we had to shoot this three times.<br />
<br />
I felt ‘absolved’ through the endeavour."<br />

=== Retrospective ===<br />
The band has played more songs live on Absolution than any other album, including two which have yet to be played ("Intro", "Falling Away With You"). Three songs ("Time is Running Out", "Stockholm Syndrome", and "Hysteria") have been played at every major tour since the Absolution Tour. In addition, of the songs that have been played live, all except for "Endlessly", "The Small Print" and "Thoughts of a Dying Atheist" have been played since the Absolution Tour.<br />
<br />
Matt expressed on separate occasions in 2015 that [[The Groove (song)|The Groove]] and [[Fury (song)|Fury]] should have been released on the album.<br />

An unreleased song, which, according to Matt & Dom, includes a "weird drum loop" and a long sample of Lord Buckley (U.S. stand-up comedian and recording artist) scatting. <ref>https://youtu.be/BeQ7ag-eXls?t=818</ref><br />
<br />
The song ended up not being released because Buckley's family wouldn't allow it.<br />

==Description==<br />
A romantic melody built around a military marching beat. Influenced by [[David Bowie]]'s 'Heroes'.<ref name="nocite">{{nocite}}</ref> Bowie himself was present during the recording of the song and mentioned that he liked the song; Matt at some point thought also of inviting Bowie to collaborate on the song but Matt bottled out. Thus being Invincible the song which could have featured Bowie of which chance was now missing forever.<ref>{{cite/thecouriermail20060824}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Bellamy believes that this is a very optimistic song.<ref name="rm200705"/> He believes that Invincible is the "heart" of [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]].<ref><br />

Matthew said that: "Invincible" is about an almost unrealistic optimism, a bit like: We can do anything, we have the power".<ref name="INTROMagazine2007"><br />
{{cite |<br />
title=INTRO Magazine online article| desc=Interview| date=2007 | auth=INTRO Magazin| url=http://www.intro.de/popmusik/muse-13) | dom=INTRO | fetch=2015-01-16 | type=ext <br />
}}</ref> Matt also said that the song it's about change: "It’s a song that you can apply to a few different things. Really, I’m just singing about change and how if you want it, it has to be done together. I feel that change needs to take place."<ref name="nme20070309">{{cite/nme20070309}}</ref><br />
<br />
Matt: "Songs like 'Invincible' explore the more optimistic side, in that if people just knew how much power we really had, we could change anything. Like the Iraq war, for example. A million people protesting is not really enough but maybe five million people, with a few bricks being thrown at Parliament, that probably would change things. I think the optimistic side is coming through, I suppose, through the idea that if people could see what's happening without being led all the time, then change would be easy to take place."<ref>{{cite/State 2008-04-03}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Additional information==<br />
<br />
The intro to Invincible was originally composed whilst in a motel at a little town that looked like "Twin Peaks".<ref name="eq200703">{{cite/eq200703}}</ref> Bellamy has described himself as having been bored at the time of the intro's conception, due to the band being ill, and the weather consisting of snowfall.<ref name="eq200703"/> The track starts with the faint sounds of footsteps on a wooden floor towards some sort of tap which is opened with a screeching sound (just like the sound noticeable in [[Eternally Missed (song)|Eternally Missed]] after the 'winding-up sound').<br />
<br />
The song originally was about politics but Matt felt that the lyrics didn't fit the music, so he changed the lyrics to talk about love: "When I wrote ‘Invincible’ the lyrics moved around on that song quite a bit. Originally it wasn’t a love song at all. There were lines in it that were more politically orientated. It was like a socialist call, like, ‘Come, let’s all get together, let’s go and burn down the Houses Of Parliament.’ It was a little bit like something from V For Vendetta or something. Then for some reason I switched it over completely to being a love song. I wasn’t comfortable with that either, so it ended up somewhere between the two."<ref name="nme20070309"/><br />
<br />
When Muse began to record, this song and [[Soldier's Poem (song)|Soldier's Poem]] were originally almost one continuous song. After Matt noticed that the falsetto in Invincible sounded weird, because it was too high for him, he changed the Key from D Major to C Major and also split Soldier's Poem and Invincible into two different tracks.<ref name="INTROMagazine2007"><br />

}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Recording==<br />
The song was initially played entirely on the guitar, without any keyboard part - Bellamy altered the introduction to its present keyboard form whilst rehearsing in the live room of Miraval Studio, and the lyrics came sometime after this.<ref name="eq200703"/> The band recorded Invincible in "a fit of rage" due to not having been able to record Take a Bow.<ref name="rm200705"/> It was originally thought of as a track that would not make the final album, however, this changed after the recording came together quickly in the studio.<ref name="riu200801">[http://www.microcuts.net/gallery/data/tmp_media/Muse_rip_it_up_article_part_1.JPG Rip It Up article 200801]</ref> The recording presented on the album is mostly a live one,<ref name="rm200705"/> with only a "couple" of overdubbed tracks.<ref name="eq200703"/> When recording the marching drums, the band set up microphone by a window and marched towards it drumming, to build up the impression of an approaching army.<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
The intro is usually played using a slide. Since [[Buenos Aires Teatro Gran Rex 2008 - 24th (gig)|July 24th 2008]], Invincible has been played in the key of B instead of C (half step down).<br />
<br />

<br />
==Alternative versions==<br />
To promote the single release, a 4:10 radio edit was circulated in promotional media. The radio edit includes an shortened intro, and at 0.03 of the radio edit, Bellamy can be heard saying "1, 2, 3, 4".<br />

== Information ==<br />
<br />
''Black Holes and Revelations'' is Muse's fourth studio album, released three years after previous album ''[[Absolution (album)|Absolution]]'', in July 2006. The album is less classically orientated than ''[[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]]'' and ''Absolution'', while introducing new influences including jazz, soul and R&B. The album contains elements of these genres. The varied influences on the album can be traced to the intial demos and recording made in the Château Miraval studio<ref name="eq200703">{{cite/eq200703}}</ref> and the later recordings in New York City,<ref><br />

}}</ref> where Matt DJed in a club and the band recorded the remaining songs in the [[Electric Lady Studios]].<ref name="eq200703"/><br />
<br />
The general theme of the album centres on dystopian-orientated/kleptocratic politics, along with accompanying war and about cycles and big things happening: "There is a theme on the album, it's that kind of connection to the cycles of history where the tension builds up and then it's released, whether it's catastrophic like a nuclear war, or aliens come down and it's brilliant. But there's definitely a sense of something big is about to happen." and that "Some of the songs are directly informed by things that are going on at the moment"<ref>{{cite/nme20060315}}</ref> Matt also said in another interview: " It [The 50's] was an era of worldwide tension, of nuclear fear and of war. Today, we’ve come back to this feeling, like at the end of a cycle. There’s even been a rise in the interest in space. This theme, the connection between current tensions and those from long ago, can really be heard on the album"<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rm200605}}</ref><br />
<br />
Matt said that the songs in the album are told from different person's Point Of View: "This time, it is a bit about struggling with various contrarities of life, but from a different person's view, not from mine. It is about the fear of who or what is ruling the world. It is about trust and about not losing track in this tangle. Maybe it is about a person struggling his way through this chaos."<ref name=INTROMagazine2007"><br />

}}</ref><br />
<br />
Matt described the album as: "About the album, some new songs deal with awol soldiers, Zeta Reticulans, the sound of Joe Meek's tape machine being thrown down the stairs, the private thoughts of General Zhu Chenghu, feeling strangely comfortable collecting fire wood whilst wielding an axe and of course, how to store Pasta for 12 years using nitrogen flushing. We have also obtained a Buchla. Our very own Marvin sat in the corner depressed too complex to be fun and too unreliable to be a friend. It may have been close to getting blood from a stone but in the end we did get some earnest synth dreams out of him. The 6/8 cycling monster has turned out truly gargantuan, it will have to end the album (a few beserkers may recognize the chordal structure from piano doodlings on previous tours). Also, a sinister presence at the center of our Galaxy has inspired what could be described as a surprisingly casual manage-a-trois involving Prince, R2-D2 and the Queen when she was hot"<ref><br />

<br />
The album is dedicated to the memory of [[Helen Kirk]].<ref name="albn"/><br />
<br />
== Prior to recording ==<br />
Many songs from this album and its singles were already written before 2005. The earliest two, Take a Bow and Soldier's Poem, were ones that were attempted during the Absolution sessions; Take a Bow was played as an instrumental interlude at many 2003 and 2004 gigs. Both Glorious and Crying Shame, which would not make the final cut on the album, were played live in 2004. Knights of Cydonia was said to be written on the tour bus while in Arizona, a destination only toured in late 2004. Starlight was also stated to be written during the 2004 tour, although neither Starlight nor Knights of Cydonia would be performed during the Absolution tour. Additionally, City of Delusion was cited as the oldest song on the album by Rich Costey, indicating bits and pieces may have even been written on the Origin of Symmetry tour or sessions.<br />
<br />
Playing of the tracks started mid-2004 with "[[Glorious (song)|Glorious]]". "[[Crying Shame (song)|Crying Shame]]" made its debut in [[London Earls Court Exhibition Centre 2004 - 19th (gig)|19 December 2004]], while "[[Assassin (song)|Assassin]]" and "[[Exo-Politics (song)|Exo-Politics]]" in their early forms made their debut during the 2005 MTV Campus Invasion Tour ([[Boca Raton Auditorium Field 2005 (gig)|8 April 2005]]).<ref name="eq200703"/><br />
<br />
Matt Bellamy wrote five songs after he travelled to Kingdom of Bhutan and the Himalayas earlier in 2005: "I was in Bhutan, I wanted to get away from everything - no phone, no tv, nothing. I went checking out the monks, hiking up mountains...It was really good for clearing my mind of any distractions, I got five new songs written while I was out there, though that isn't why I went."<ref name=MicroCutsNet20050224"><br />

}}</ref><ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rockmag200605}}</ref> It isn't known what surfaced from this session, although it is likely the songs from this session were among the many that were scrapped.<br />
<br />
Bellamy approached Costey in regards to producing their next album during the ''Absolution'' tour. Costey followed this up by contacting Bellamy a few months prior to starting the album.<ref name="eq200703">{{cite/eq200703}}</ref> The playing of ''Black Holes and Revelations'' tracks and its b-sides live in effect started in 2003 with "[[Take a Bow (song)|Take a Bow]]" being played as a piano interlude after "[[Citizen Erased (song)|Citizen Erased]]".<br />
<br />
== Recording ==<br />
The album was written partly before the ''Absolution'' Tour, partly during said tour and finished during their time at [[Studio Miraval|Miraval Studio]], Avatar and [[Electric Lady Studios]]. As with ''Absolution'', the time frame was not as large a concern as on the former two albums, hence Muse took their time over recording the album. The freedom also extended into the style of the music they wrote, delving into areas that Muse considered might be risky for other bands,<ref name="ml20060315">{{cite<br />

[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] also said in the same interview: "We've got to a point where we're pretty much free to do whatever we like. It was difficult because we wanted every song to be different to what we've done before. I think we've managed to do that. With the range we've shown on previous albums, I think we've got the freedom to go into areas other bands would consider risky. Previously, we consciously thought about which songs would work live but this time we just went for it. We'll worry about how to play them live later". Muse previously had written songs with their ability to play them live in mind, the band did not concern themselves with this ability whilst recording ''Black Holes and Revelations''.<ref name="ml20060315"/><br />
<br />
In September 2005, during the band's time at Miraval, the album was hindered by the band's fear of bats and ghosts, as well as the owner who purportedly didn't want Muse there, Matt: "The studio was set next to a vineyard and was full of ghosts. The owner was this moody old geezer who didn't seem to want us there and kept interrupting us when we were writing the album" and Chris added: "There were so many bats flying around the rehearsal room while we were trying to work" <ref name="ml20060315"/> Only two songs were recorded during Muse's time at Miraval, namely "Take a Bow" and "[[Invincible (song)|Invincible]]".<br />
<br />
In total, around 20 songs were recorded for the album <ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rm200605}}</ref>. Eleven of these made it to the final product, while three others became B-sides, with the others left unfinished or as demos.<ref name"answers">{{cite/museboard20081128}}</ref> One final leftover song, "[[Soaked (song)|Soaked]]", was completed during the end of the recording process, later emerged in the form of a leaked promo CD. This leaves around five unheard songs remaining, which roughly aligns with Chris’ supposition that they had enough songs left to potentially release an EP the following year, if they chose to. <ref name="ml20060601"><br />

<br />
Matthew Bellamy claimed that had the entire recording process been carried out at Miraval, it would have turned out akin to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.{{cite/none}} He described some of the material that they put aside from their time at Miraval as "a little too progressive and symphonic" for the type of album they wanted ''Black Holes and Revelations'' to be,<ref name="jatd20070802">{{cite/The Breakfast Show 2007-08-02}}</ref> and "waffling on the piano, a lot of orchestration".<ref name="jatd20070802"/> The band had become frustrated during their time at Miraval at the "lack of rock" in their music.<ref name="jatd20070802"/>.<br />
<br />
In the Autumn 2005, Muse moved to New York, recording at Avatar and Electric Lady Studios. As well as recording in New York, Muse partook in the lifestyle of the city, which [[Dominic Howard]] claims influenced the style and direction of the album, particularly "[[Supermassive Black Hole (song)|Supermassive Black Hole]]".<ref name="mtvn">MTV News<!--Link or transcription needed!--></ref> The album's recording finished at Christmas 2005, after which the band moved to London and finished mixing at Sanctuary Townhouse Studios.{{cite/none}} <!--"When we moved into this crazy, claustrophobic, fast-paced way of living, we absorbed some of that energy and that affected the recording," [[Dominic Howard|Howard]] told MTV News-->Whilst recording the band worked on one song at a time, keeping those they liked and scrapping those they disliked.<ref>Chris Wolstenholme interview (needed)</ref> New instrumentation not used on previous recordings include a buchla synthesiser and a trumpet.<br />
<br />
David Bowie was present at the recording of both Take a Bow<ref>{{cite/eq200703}}</ref> and Invincible<ref>{{cite/thecouriermail20060824}}</ref>, the later, being of the like of Bowie and offered them to do a collaboration with him, however Matt felt he "wasn't ready" and thought of working both on Invincible, however Matt in the end "bottled out". The track list of ''Black Holes and Revelations'' was finalised by April 2006,<ref><br />

<br />
== Inspiration and style ==<br />
<br />
Inspiration for the album was taken from a wide variety of other artists, from contemporary acts such as [[Lightning Bolt]]<ref name="eq200703"/> and [[Rage Against The Machine]],<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rockmag200605}}</ref> to composer [[Ennio Morricone]]<ref>{{cite/undertheradar20060720}}</ref> and jazz singer [[Nina Simone]]. Muse also listened to music in the style of Joe Meek, Kill Bill and [[Nancy Sinatra]]. They had also been inspired by Belgian bands such as [[Millionaire]] and [[Evil Superstars]]. <br />
<br />
Bellamy also listened to the style of his father's band, [[The Tornadoes]]: "My dad’s music which I'd never listened to before last year – before then, I'd found it uncool – really influenced me."<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rockmag200605}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] had been living in North Italy for a while and had discovered some old Italian traditional folk songs, Matt explained: "The reason why the trumpets and some of the other stranger instrumentations came in is we didn't hold back in terms of taking a fringe idea to its full extent," describing the resulting sound as 'filmlike'. From living in northern Italy, I became interested in southern Italian music and music from the South of Spain, like flamenco guitar," says Bellamy. "When you hear it, it sounds like the music from the [spaghetti] western films."<ref>Epic U.K. Rockers Muse Return With Cinematic New Album (20060525 Rolling Stone article)</ref><br />
<br />
Chris commented that the band listened to Islamic radio stations whilst writing the album and the progressive elements of that music influenced songs such as "[[Assassin (song)|Assassin]]".<ref>{{cite |<br />

<br />
== Album art ==<br />
The album art was created by [[Storm Thorgerson]], it features a more contemporary interpretation of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. The four horses of different colours, are on the table. The rider of the white horse represents the Anti-Christ, the red one war, the black famine and the pale one represents death and decay. The horses are small to signify the ills of the riders had outgrown those of their horses.<ref>[[Interview with Dominic Howard (20070724 Couleur 3 feature)|Couleur 3 2007-07-24]]</ref> <br />
<br />
According to Matt, Storm Thorgerson was inspired by Knights of Cydonia to make the Artwork: "Storm has this thing about Knights Of Cydonia," Bellamy says. "He had this vision of the four horsemen of the apocalypse but they've outgrown their horses. Each is supposed to represent a different ailment of humanity: vanity or greed or paranoia."<ref>{{cite/thecouriermail20060824}}</ref><br />
<br />
Our contemporary apocalyptic horsemen are depicted in suits representing more current ailments of humanity:<br />
<br />
'''Vanity/ Narcissism''' - a mirrored suit (many mirrors, to see themselves as much as possible), <br />
<br />
'''Greed''' - a gold suit, <br />
<br />
'''Paranoia/Surveillance''' - a suit of eyes, <br />
<br />
'''Intolerance/Ignorance'''- a suit adorned in religious symbols and hierograms. <br />
<br />
The fourth horseman also looks like he is wearing blinders on his head, as a horse would, implying narrow vision and refusal to look outwith your own beliefs or at the bigger picture. The horsemen are also implied to be on Mars, both with the Cydonian region inspiring the closing track, and the band wanted the artwork to be more other-worldly than the original Thorgerson photo, you can also see Earth in the background sky. Black Holes & Revelations’ artwork is arguably the most thought-provoking album cover to date, with a lot of deeper meanings an subtleties woven in.<br />
<br />
<br />
The images inside the album booklet include the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAARP HAARP] installation, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_Galaxy_M87 M87], papers from Project [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mkultra MKULTRA], and a blue contrail, in reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_aircraft Aurora] aircraft.<br />
<br />
HAARP is a scientific research project, the goal of which is to study ionosphere. Muse later entitled the live album [[H.A.A.R.P. (live)|H.A.A.R.P.]] after the project. M87 is an elliptical galaxy in Virgo that emits a jet of matter, probably from a supermassive black hole within it, while the blue contrail is a reference to the Aurora aircraft, which some believe is a top-secret hypersonic aircraft that leaves a blue contrail behind it. Project MKULTRA was a CIA project that sought to use chemicals for mind control and interogation, after which Muse entitled the song "[[MK ULTRA (song)|MK ULTRA]]".<br />

== Release and post-release ==<br />
To promote the album in the UK, a set of MP3 player headphones loaded with the album was distributed for press use, including a short biography and track list. No promotional CD was produced for use in the UK. The US promo CD-R and the KROQ Weenie Roast CD-R are watermarked and encrypted so that they cannot be played on a computer. Each was printed with name of the intended recipient on the disc. In Germany a CD-R promo featuring an interview with the band was circulated to promote the album.<br />
<br />
The album was leaked on the 7th of June, 2006, in monaural form,<ref><br />

<br />
''Black Holes and Revelations'' was re-released early in 2007 as a Tour Edition with a bonus DVD. A few online stores and listings on eBay have claimed that there exists a different Japanese CD/DVD set with additional DVD features including 'Live performances from Summer Sonic 2006 and Reading/Leeds Festival 2006, and Behind-the-scenes studio footage'. However, this is not the case, the DVD itself is identical to the original, which includes the videos and live performances of the first 3 singles from the album. The release of the album was completed when made available in Ukraine, in August 2007.<ref name="uaclub"/> A version of the album featuring the "Grand Omega Bosses" version of "Assassin" was made available on 7digital.com from during 2007, but this was later amended to the album version of "Assassin" at a later date.<!--uncitable as it's no longer there, and the below reference has become invalid--> <br />
<br />
The vinyl edition became available on [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Holes-Revelations-VINYL-Muse/dp/B000G03S94 Amazon UK] during early March, 2007,<ref><br />

}}</ref> but all orders where subsequently cancelled and the item remained seemingly unreleased. The double LP was finally rescheduled for released on 18{{supo|th}} August 2009 along with the US vinyl reissues of ''Showbiz'', ''Origin of Symmetry'' and ''Absolution'', over three years after the original release date. The album was the first to have no French singles box-set released.<br />
<br />
The Australian release includes a copy prevention rootkit (virus). To ensure your computer does not get infected, disable autorun before inserting the CD into your computer. This only affects Windows systems.<br />
<br />
== Awards ==<br />
The album was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize in 2007.<br />
In addition, [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]] was voted the "Hottest Song of 2007" on the Australian radio station Triple J.<br />

== Information ==<br />
<br />
''Black Holes and Revelations'' is Muse's fourth studio album, released three years after previous album ''[[Absolution (album)|Absolution]]'', in July 2006. The album is less classically orientated than ''[[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]]'' and ''Absolution'', while introducing new influences including jazz, soul and R&B. The album contains elements of these genres. The varied influences on the album can be traced to the intial demos and recording made in the Château Miraval studio<ref name="eq200703">{{cite/eq200703}}</ref> and the later recordings in New York City,<ref><br />

}}</ref> where Matt DJed in a club and the band recorded the remaining songs in the [[Electric Lady Studios]].<ref name="eq200703"/><br />
<br />
The general theme of the album centres on dystopian-orientated/kleptocratic politics, along with accompanying war and about cycles and big things happening: "There is a theme on the album, it's that kind of connection to the cycles of history where the tension builds up and then it's released, whether it's catastrophic like a nuclear war, or aliens come down and it's brilliant. But there's definitely a sense of something big is about to happen." and that "Some of the songs are directly informed by things that are going on at the moment"<ref>{{cite/nme20060315}}</ref> Matt also said in another interview: " It [The 50's] was an era of worldwide tension, of nuclear fear and of war. Today, we’ve come back to this feeling, like at the end of a cycle. There’s even been a rise in the interest in space. This theme, the connection between current tensions and those from long ago, can really be heard on the album"<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rm200605}}</ref><br />
<br />
Matt said that the songs in the album are told from different person's Point Of View: "This time, it is a bit about struggling with various contrarities of life, but from a different person's view, not from mine. It is about the fear of who or what is ruling the world. It is about trust and about not losing track in this tangle. Maybe it is about a person struggling his way through this chaos."<ref name=INTROMagazine2007"><br />

}}</ref><br />
<br />
Matt described the album as: "About the album, some new songs deal with awol soldiers, Zeta Reticulans, the sound of Joe Meek's tape machine being thrown down the stairs, the private thoughts of General Zhu Chenghu, feeling strangely comfortable collecting fire wood whilst wielding an axe and of course, how to store Pasta for 12 years using nitrogen flushing. We have also obtained a Buchla. Our very own Marvin sat in the corner depressed too complex to be fun and too unreliable to be a friend. It may have been close to getting blood from a stone but in the end we did get some earnest synth dreams out of him. The 6/8 cycling monster has turned out truly gargantuan, it will have to end the album (a few beserkers may recognize the chordal structure from piano doodlings on previous tours). Also, a sinister presence at the center of our Galaxy has inspired what could be described as a surprisingly casual manage-a-trois involving Prince, R2-D2 and the Queen when she was hot"<ref><br />

<br />
The album is dedicated to the memory of [[Helen Kirk]].<ref name="albn"/><br />
<br />
== Prior to recording ==<br />
Many songs from this album and its singles were already written before 2005. The earliest two, Take a Bow and Soldier's Poem, were ones that were attempted during the Absolution sessions; Take a Bow was played as an instrumental interlude at many 2003 and 2004 gigs. Both Glorious and Crying Shame, which would not make the final cut on the album, were played live in 2004. Knights of Cydonia was said to be written on the tour bus while in Arizona, a destination only toured in late 2004. Starlight was also stated to be written during the 2004 tour, although neither Starlight nor Knights of Cydonia would be performed during the Absolution tour. Additionally, City of Delusion was cited as the oldest song on the album by Rich Costey, indicating bits and pieces may have even been written on the Origin of Symmetry tour or sessions.<br />
<br />
Playing of the tracks started mid-2004 with "[[Glorious (song)|Glorious]]". "[[Crying Shame (song)|Crying Shame]]" made its debut in [[London Earls Court Exhibition Centre 2004 - 19th (gig)|19 December 2004]], while "[[Assassin (song)|Assassin]]" and "[[Exo-Politics (song)|Exo-Politics]]" in their early forms made their debut during the 2005 MTV Campus Invasion Tour ([[Boca Raton Auditorium Field 2005 (gig)|8 April 2005]]).<ref name="eq200703"/><br />
<br />
Matt Bellamy wrote five songs after he travelled to Kingdom of Bhutan and the Himalayas earlier in 2005: "I was in Bhutan, I wanted to get away from everything - no phone, no tv, nothing. I went checking out the monks, hiking up mountains...It was really good for clearing my mind of any distractions, I got five new songs written while I was out there, though that isn't why I went."<ref name=MicroCutsNet20050224"><br />

}}</ref><ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rockmag200605}}</ref> It isn't known what surfaced from this session, although it is likely the songs from this session were among the many that were scrapped.<br />
<br />
Bellamy approached Costey in regards to producing their next album during the ''Absolution'' tour. Costey followed this up by contacting Bellamy a few months prior to starting the album.<ref name="eq200703">{{cite/eq200703}}</ref> The playing of ''Black Holes and Revelations'' tracks and its b-sides live in effect started in 2003 with "[[Take a Bow (song)|Take a Bow]]" being played as a piano interlude after "[[Citizen Erased (song)|Citizen Erased]]".<br />
<br />
== Recording ==<br />
The album was written partly before the ''Absolution'' Tour, partly during said tour and finished during their time at [[Studio Miraval|Miraval Studio]], Avatar and [[Electric Lady Studios]]. As with ''Absolution'', the time frame was not as large a concern as on the former two albums, hence Muse took their time over recording the album. The freedom also extended into the style of the music they wrote, delving into areas that Muse considered might be risky for other bands,<ref name="ml20060315">{{cite<br />

[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] also said in the same interview: "We've got to a point where we're pretty much free to do whatever we like. It was difficult because we wanted every song to be different to what we've done before. I think we've managed to do that. With the range we've shown on previous albums, I think we've got the freedom to go into areas other bands would consider risky. Previously, we consciously thought about which songs would work live but this time we just went for it. We'll worry about how to play them live later". Muse previously had written songs with their ability to play them live in mind, the band did not concern themselves with this ability whilst recording ''Black Holes and Revelations''.<ref name="ml20060315"/><br />
<br />
In September 2005, during the band's time at Miraval, the album was hindered by the band's fear of bats and ghosts, as well as the owner who purportedly didn't want Muse there, Matt: "The studio was set next to a vineyard and was full of ghosts. The owner was this moody old geezer who didn't seem to want us there and kept interrupting us when we were writing the album" and Chris added: "There were so many bats flying around the rehearsal room while we were trying to work" <ref name="ml20060315"/> Only two songs were recorded during Muse's time at Miraval, namely "Take a Bow" and "[[Invincible (song)|Invincible]]".<br />
<br />
In total, around 20 songs were recorded for the album <ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rm200605}}</ref>. Eleven of these made it to the final product, while three others became B-sides, with the others left unfinished or as demos.<ref name"answers">{{cite/museboard20081128}}</ref> One final leftover song, "[[Soaked (song)|Soaked]]", was completed during the end of the recording process, later emerged in the form of a leaked promo CD. This leaves around five unheard songs remaining, which roughly aligns with Chris’ supposition that they had enough songs left to potentially release an EP the following year, if they chose to. <ref name="ml20060601"><br />

}}</ref><br />
<br />
Matthew Bellamy claimed that had the entire recording process been carried out at Miraval, it would have turned out akin to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.{{cite/none}} He described some of the material that they put aside from their time at Miraval as "a little too progressive and symphonic" for the type of album they wanted ''Black Holes and Revelations'' to be,<ref name="jatd20070802">{{cite/The Breakfast Show 2007-08-02}}</ref> and "waffling on the piano, a lot of orchestration".<ref name="jatd20070802"/> The band had become frustrated during their time at Miraval at the "lack of rock" in their music.<ref name="jatd20070802"/><br />
<br />
In the Autumn 2005, Muse moved to New York, recording at Avatar and Electric Lady Studios. As well as recording in New York, Muse partook in the lifestyle of the city, which [[Dominic Howard]] claims influenced the style and direction of the album, particularly "[[Supermassive Black Hole (song)|Supermassive Black Hole]]".<ref name="mtvn">MTV News<!--Link or transcription needed!--></ref> The album's recording finished at Christmas 2005, after which the band moved to London and finished mixing at Sanctuary Townhouse Studios.{{cite/none}} <!--"When we moved into this crazy, claustrophobic, fast-paced way of living, we absorbed some of that energy and that affected the recording," [[Dominic Howard|Howard]] told MTV News-->Whilst recording the band worked on one song at a time, keeping those they liked and scrapping those they disliked.<ref>Chris Wolstenholme interview (needed)</ref> New instrumentation not used on previous recordings include a buchla synthesiser and a trumpet.<br />
<br />
The track list of ''Black Holes and Revelations'' was finalised by April 2006,<ref><br />

<br />
== Inspiration and style ==<br />
<br />
Inspiration for the album was taken from a wide variety of other artists, from contemporary acts such as [[Lightning Bolt]]<ref name="eq200703"/> and [[Rage Against The Machine]],<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rockmag200605}}</ref> to composer [[Ennio Morricone]]<ref>{{cite/undertheradar20060720}}</ref> and jazz singer [[Nina Simone]]. Muse also listened to music in the style of Joe Meek, Kill Bill and [[Nancy Sinatra]]. They had also been inspired by Belgian bands such as [[Millionaire]] and [[Evil Superstars]]. <br />
<br />
Bellamy also listened to the style of his father's band, [[The Tornadoes]]: "My dad’s music which I'd never listened to before last year – before then, I'd found it uncool – really influenced me."<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rockmag200605}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] had been living in North Italy for a while and had discovered some old Italian traditional folk songs, Matt explained: "The reason why the trumpets and some of the other stranger instrumentations came in is we didn't hold back in terms of taking a fringe idea to its full extent," describing the resulting sound as 'filmlike'. From living in northern Italy, I became interested in southern Italian music and music from the South of Spain, like flamenco guitar," says Bellamy. "When you hear it, it sounds like the music from the [spaghetti] western films."<ref>Epic U.K. Rockers Muse Return With Cinematic New Album (20060525 Rolling Stone article)</ref><br />
<br />
Chris commented that the band listened to Islamic radio stations whilst writing the album and the progressive elements of that music influenced songs such as "[[Assassin (song)|Assassin]]".<ref>{{cite |<br />

<br />
== Album art ==<br />
The album art was created by [[Storm Thorgerson]], it features a more contemporary interpretation of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. The four horses of different colours, are on the table. The rider of the white horse represents the Anti-Christ, the red one war, the black famine and the pale one represents death and decay. The horses are small to signify the ills of the riders had outgrown those of their horses.<ref>[[Interview with Dominic Howard (20070724 Couleur 3 feature)|Couleur 3 2007-07-24]]</ref> <br />
<br />
According to Matt, Storm Thorgerson was inspired by Knights of Cydonia to make the Artwork: "Storm has this thing about Knights Of Cydonia," Bellamy says. "He had this vision of the four horsemen of the apocalypse but they've outgrown their horses. Each is supposed to represent a different ailment of humanity: vanity or greed or paranoia."<ref>{{cite/thecouriermail20060824}}</ref><br />
<br />
Our contemporary apocalyptic horsemen are depicted in suits representing more current ailments of humanity:<br />
<br />
'''Vanity/ Narcissism''' - a mirrored suit (many mirrors, to see themselves as much as possible), <br />
<br />
'''Greed''' - a gold suit, <br />
<br />
'''Paranoia/Surveillance''' - a suit of eyes, <br />
<br />
'''Intolerance/Ignorance'''- a suit adorned in religious symbols and hierograms. <br />
<br />
The fourth horseman also looks like he is wearing blinders on his head, as a horse would, implying narrow vision and refusal to look outwith your own beliefs or at the bigger picture. The horsemen are also implied to be on Mars, both with the Cydonian region inspiring the closing track, and the band wanted the artwork to be more other-worldly than the original Thorgerson photo, you can also see Earth in the background sky. Black Holes & Revelations’ artwork is arguably the most thought-provoking album cover to date, with a lot of deeper meanings an subtleties woven in.<br />
<br />
<br />
The images inside the album booklet include the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAARP HAARP] installation, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_Galaxy_M87 M87], papers from Project [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mkultra MKULTRA], and a blue contrail, in reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_aircraft Aurora] aircraft.<br />
<br />
HAARP is a scientific research project, the goal of which is to study ionosphere. Muse later entitled the live album [[H.A.A.R.P. (live)|H.A.A.R.P.]] after the project. M87 is an elliptical galaxy in Virgo that emits a jet of matter, probably from a supermassive black hole within it, while the blue contrail is a reference to the Aurora aircraft, which some believe is a top-secret hypersonic aircraft that leaves a blue contrail behind it. Project MKULTRA was a CIA project that sought to use chemicals for mind control and interogation, after which Muse entitled the song "[[MK ULTRA (song)|MK ULTRA]]".<br />

== Release and post-release ==<br />
To promote the album in the UK, a set of MP3 player headphones loaded with the album was distributed for press use, including a short biography and track list. No promotional CD was produced for use in the UK. The US promo CD-R and the KROQ Weenie Roast CD-R are watermarked and encrypted so that they cannot be played on a computer. Each was printed with name of the intended recipient on the disc. In Germany a CD-R promo featuring an interview with the band was circulated to promote the album.<br />
<br />
The album was leaked on the 7th of June, 2006, in monaural form,<ref><br />

<br />
''Black Holes and Revelations'' was re-released early in 2007 as a Tour Edition with a bonus DVD. A few online stores and listings on eBay have claimed that there exists a different Japanese CD/DVD set with additional DVD features including 'Live performances from Summer Sonic 2006 and Reading/Leeds Festival 2006, and Behind-the-scenes studio footage'. However, this is not the case, the DVD itself is identical to the original, which includes the videos and live performances of the first 3 singles from the album. The release of the album was completed when made available in Ukraine, in August 2007.<ref name="uaclub"/> A version of the album featuring the "Grand Omega Bosses" version of "Assassin" was made available on 7digital.com from during 2007, but this was later amended to the album version of "Assassin" at a later date.<!--uncitable as it's no longer there, and the below reference has become invalid--> <br />
<br />
The vinyl edition became available on [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Holes-Revelations-VINYL-Muse/dp/B000G03S94 Amazon UK] during early March, 2007,<ref><br />

The double LP was finally rescheduled for released on 18{{supo|th}} August 2009 along with the US vinyl reissues of ''Showbiz'', ''Origin of Symmetry'' and ''Absolution'', over three years after the original release date. The album was the first to have no French singles box-set released.<br />
<br />
The Australian release includes a copy prevention rootkit (virus). To ensure your computer does not get infected, disable autorun before inserting the CD into your computer. This only affects Windows systems.<br />
<br />
== Awards ==<br />
The album was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize in 2007.<br />
In addition, [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]] was voted the "Hottest Song of 2007" on the Australian radio station Triple J.<br />

==Description==<br />
Take a Bow calls on world leaders to take responsibility for their actions. Muse move through three musical stages: starting off as a classical piece before moving into a techno mid-section and a heavy "apocalyptic rock" ending. Initially described "a looping epic which morphs into a gothic fairytale".<ref name="nme20060315"><br />

<br />
[[Christopher Wolstenholme|Wolstenholme]]: We wrote it at the end of the Absolution sessions, and it sounds similar [to Absolution tracks]. It has evolved a lot since then, but it’s principle remains the same: a change of periodic agreements which are at the brink of exploding. Its structure is mathematical, the main idea being a formula with neither chorus nor verse. Dom’s never played like that, with very jazzy rhythms, slow ones, followed by more chaotic bits integrated into the whole.<ref name="rm200605"/> <br />
<br />
Based on this account, we can assume the song was written sometime around 2003. It was was often played as a piano interlude between Citizen Erased and Space Dementia on the Absolution tour throughout 2003 and 2004, as well as an intro to Feeling Good on The Resistance Tour. Take a Bow, as well as Soldier's Poem, are the earliest Black Holes and Revelations songs to be written from what is known about today.<br />
<br />
According to Rich Costey, David Bowie was present when Muse were recording the song and that the originally was going to "carry though several different epochs of music", the first part being classical, the second electronic and the last one rock. However due the complex nature of it and because the band disliked the sound, they went "straight up Philip Glass"; the string players who performed were from Italy and then, put a "sort of" a Moog synthesizer over it, becoming then a "Moog symphony" with an orchestra behind it. <ref>{{cite/eq200703}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Composition===<br />
Take a Bow is written in 3/4 time and moves at a tempo of 130 bpm. Bellamy's vocal range in the song spans from C3 to G4 in the modal register, and up to G5 in falsetto; one of the widest vocal ranges in a Muse song.<br />
<br />
The chord structure moves in fourths upwards, by using the augmented fifth in between to move.<ref><br />

<br />
The key of the song changes a total of 13 times, each time moving to the nearest key in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths circle of fifths]. It begins in D major before following the circle counter-clockwise to E♭. After the lyric "Our freedom's consuming itself," the song goes clockwise back to F. After the techno mid-section, the song again begins moving counter-clockwise around the circle, changing key 6 times before finishing in B.<br />

==Description==<br />
First described as "a souped-up cousin of the Strokes' '12:51'",<ref>{{cite/nme20060315}}</ref> according to [[Christopher Wolstenholme|Wolstenholme]], "Starlight" is "kind of a love song about missing someone, friends, family, someone you love".<ref>{{cite<br />

}}</ref> It is in the key of B major. <br />
<br />
Matt said: “Starlight” is a more personal song about what it’s like to be on the road for a long period of time – you feel like you’re losing touch with who you are, and that kind of vibe.<ref>{{cite/undertheradar20060720}}</ref> also, Matt said: "It's a pretty simple love song really. You know, well - love song - sort of missing your girlfriend type of song, you know when you've been on the road for a while and you start to feel a bit like "Cor blimey, where am I going?" It's real cheesy really, kind of like... it's from the heart. It's honest, heart-on-sleeve vibe."<ref>BBC 2006-08-31 – Radio 1's Entertainment News</ref><br />
<br />
== Composition == <br />
<br />
According to Costey, the piano used a sampling of dropping forks on the piano strings, plucking the strings with guitar picks, putting putty on them, among other tricks to give the song its characteristic sound.<ref>{{cite/eq200703}}</ref><br />
<br />
A very subtle synth can be heard throughout the entire song, but it's hard to hear it since it's buried in the final mix. You can heard the synth clearly [https://musewiki.org/images/Starlight_Sample.mp3 here].<br />
<br />
The clapping at the beginning of "Starlight" can be written as "— ·· — ···" in Morse code, which spells out "TITS". However, this is probably a coincidence. <br />
<br />
The lyric "of the people who care if I live or die" carries a strong similarity to a lyric in The Smiths song "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now". Morrissey sings "...why do I give valuable time/to people who don't care if I live or die? As Muse has covered the band previously this lyric appears to be an homage to [[The Smiths]].<br />
<br />
==Additional information==<br />
As with several other the songs on ''[[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]]'', Starlight was written before the [[Gigs, 2003-2005#2005|2005 tour]] in the USA:{{quote|text=Starlight was written in the practice studio at the end of 2004. It was a simple idea, stemming from a piano impro. We wanted to keep it as simple as possible, and that was very difficult to do. Starlight had to be spontaneous, unleashing an energy that was difficult to capture. It’s influenced by [[The Strokes]], on a drumbeat and basic bass lines. Its structure is simple, and its melodies are catchy. There’s a pop element in each of our albums, a simple bit, very melodic, like "[[Time is Running Out (song)|Time Is Running Out]]" on ''[[Absolution (album)|Absolution]]''. Today, Starlight is that one.|name=Christopher Wolstenholme|name2=Wolstenholme|ref=<ref>{{cite/rm200605}}</ref>}}<br />
Muse mentioning the influence of The Strokes, it is noteworthy that it has a little resemblance with the chorus of 'On The Other Side' from their album 'First Impressions of Earth' released in 2005 and by '12:51'.<br />

Starlight is played for Edmontonians of Alberta, Canada on Sonic 102.9, as well as being the opening music for the Euro 2008 Football Qualifiers coverage on Sky Sports in the UK. In Scandinavia, the song is used in the commercial of the television channel Viasat.<br />
<br />
Matt has stated in an interview that Starlight is his son's favourite Muse song.<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
<br />
On the first performances of the song Matt played the piano notes with the guitar, however, not much later the piano part was done by Morgan Nicholls, Matt only playing the guitar on the choruses. <br />
<br />
"Starlight" is played in B flat major live, instead of the recorded B. Starting sometime during the latter half of 2006, Bellamy started a routine of asking the people in a certain area, usually the back or top, how they are doing and dedicating "Starlight" to them. During the Resistance tour, Matt usually played a short Spanish guitar riff before the song. From the Unsustainable Tour onwards, Matt didn't play guitar for the song and instead left the duty to touring member Morgan Nicholls. Then during the Psycho UK Tour and Drones Festival Tour Matt returned to playing guitar before once again not from the start of the arena tour.<br />

During the intimate gig at Shepherd's Bush, London 2013, Bellamy changed the line: ''"I don't know if it's worth it anymore"'' into: ''"And now I know it's not worth it anymore"''<br />

One of the first songs Muse ever recorded, first appearing on the [[Muse (EP)|Muse EP]]. Cave was written sometime around 1996, although it possibly originated earlier than that. It was subsequently re-recorded and released as [[Cave (single)|a single]] before featuring on [[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]]. The versions on the Muse EP and Showbiz differ.<br />
<br />
"Cave" was known as Nova Scotia before the release of the [[Muse EP]].<ref name="nocite">{{nocite}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy]]: "The idea for Cave came from that rubbish American book, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. There's this bit about how men go into a cave when they get stressed and I think that's probably true, although, personally, I tend to let it out. I did have a bit of a tantrum in my hotel bathroom last night - but I managed to repair the toilet, so that's OK."<ref name="MuseMelodyMakerdec1999"><br />

On a performance of the song at Melbourne ABC Studios in 2000, Matt says at the beginning of the performance that the song is "About an old friend of mine...he's not a friend anymore". The remix of Cave was not made by Muse themselves, it was done by Mushroom when they were out of the country. Matt apologized for the remix's poor quality.<ref>[https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/instantMUSEnger/conversations/topics/394]</ref><br />
<br />
"Cave" is featured in the [[Little Nicky (compilation)|soundtrack]] for the film [[wikipedia:Little Nicky (film)|Little Nicky]].<br />
<br />
==Composition==<br />
"Cave" is notable for its multiple modulations. The verses are written in D minor, as is the main riff which liberally uses the blues note (diminished fifth) and minor second for a flavor of the D locrian scale. The chorus modulates to G minor, evidenced by the Dm-D-Gm progression. Finally, the outro is in D major and resolves on that chord. These demonstrate Matt's early grasp on classical techniques and his ability to use them effectively.<br />

Cave appears in both known full setlists from 1997 and 1998. Based on this, as well as its frequency during 1999 and 2000, it can be assumed to have been played at nearly every gig during this time period. By the end of 2001, however, Matt had become tired of the song. Bellamy disliked playing the song live<ref name="kerrang200412">{{cite/kerrang200412}}</ref> due, firstly, to it being an old song<ref name="kerrang200412"/> and, secondly, to the chorus being difficult to sing.<ref name="kerrang200412"/> The band cited in an interview with a fan circa 2004 that Cave was a song they were sick of playing live. <br />
<br />
Despite this, it was played for the first time in 8 years at [[Teignmouth Den 2009 - 4th (gig)|Teignmouth]] and following gigs a half step down on piano instead of guitar. It continued to make rare appearances during 2009 and two performances in 2010 before being dropped again. The reason why it made a comeback, was a response from Muse to the Major of Teignmouth, who in an newspaper article put Muse's Cave single cd in a trash-bin because Muse's music was "too loud, too rock for the area", so now they made their comeback, they decided to play it<ref> <br />

Matt apologized for the remix's poor quality.<ref>[https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/instantMUSEnger/conversations/topics/394]</ref><br />
<br />
"Cave" is featured in the [[Little Nicky (compilation)|soundtrack]] for the film [[wikipedia:Little Nicky (film)|Little Nicky]].<br />
<br />
==Composition==<br />
"Cave" is notable for its multiple modulations. The verses are written in D minor, as is the main riff which liberally uses the blues note (diminished fifth) and minor second for a flavor of the D locrian scale. The chorus modulates to G minor, evidenced by the Dm-D-Gm progression. Finally, the outro is in D major and resolves on that chord. These demonstrate Matt's early grasp on classical techniques and his ability to use them effectively.<br />

<br />
Cave appears in both known full setlists from 1997 and 1998. Based on this, as well as its frequency during 1999 and 2000, it can be assumed to have been played at nearly every gig during this time period. By the end of 2001, however, Matt had become tired of the song. Bellamy disliked playing the song live<ref name="kerrang200412">{{cite/kerrang200412}}</ref> due, firstly, to it being an old song<ref name="kerrang200412"/> and, secondly, to the chorus being difficult to sing.<ref name="kerrang200412"/> The band cited in an interview with a fan circa 2004 that Cave was a song they were sick of playing live. <br />
<br />
Despite this, it was played for the first time in 8 years at [[Teignmouth Den 2009 - 4th (gig)|Teignmouth]] and following gigs a half step down on piano instead of guitar. It continued to make rare appearances during 2009 and two performances in 2010 before being dropped again. The reason why it made a comeback, was a response from Muse to the Major of Teignmouth, who in an newspaper article put Muse's Cave single cd in a trash-bin because Muse's music was "too loud, too rock for the area", so now they made their comeback, they decided to play it<ref> <br />

==Information==<br />
One of the first songs Muse ever recorded, first appearing on the [[Muse (EP)|Muse EP]]. Cave was written sometime around 1996, although it possibly originated earlier than that. It was subsequently re-recorded and released as [[Cave (single)|a single]] before featuring on [[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]]. The versions on the Muse EP and Showbiz differ.<br />
<br />
"Cave" was known as Nova Scotia before the release of the [[Muse EP]].<ref name="nocite">{{nocite}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy]]: "The idea for Cave came from that rubbish American book, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. There's this bit about how men go into a cave when they get stressed and I think that's probably true, although, personally, I tend to let it out. I did have a bit of a tantrum in my hotel bathroom last night - but I managed to repair the toilet, so that's OK."<ref name="MuseMelodyMakerdec1999"><br />

==Description==<br />
A song influenced by contemporary R&B such as Timbaland<ref name="mojo200907">{{cite/mojo200907}}</ref>, using a drum machine and vocoder-laden vocals.<ref name="le200907"/> [[Matthew Bellamy|Matt]] plays neither guitar nor piano on "Undisclosed Desires",<ref name="mojo200907"/> whilst [[Christopher Wolstenholme|Chris]] plays slap bass.<ref>{{cite/nme20090707}}</ref> The result is apparently very reminiscent of Depeche Mode.<ref name="le200907"/> According to [[Matthew Bellamy|Matt]] the song is very personal in nature, relating to his relationship with his [[Gaia Polloni|then-girlfriend]].<ref name="q200907">{{cite/Q 2009-07}}</ref><br />
Matt said, "This is something totally new for the band. It is influenced by contemporary R'n'B and a little of the David Bowie album 'Ashes to Ashes'. It is a song about love and the dark secrets that lovers share."<br />
<br />
==Information==<br />
Undisclosed Desires was originally a guitar based rock track, an acoustic one but it ended being an electronic song with a dance and a R&B style.<ref><br />
{{cite/web |<br />
title=Muse Interview with Radio 104.5 (2009) | date=2009| fetch=2015-05-01 | desc=Muse Interview| auth=Radio 104.5 | pub=Youtube | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMQ7p7ZwPeI | dom=youtube.com | type=ext<br />
}}</ref> We can hear how it used to sound with the acoustic guitar replacing the strings on the 'Making of' of the album, while Matt and Dom are discussing the process of recording the song.<br />
<br />
Matt said he thought Muse fans would absolutely hate the song but is pleasantly surprised with the reaction. He believes this is his favourite song off the album because it's completely different than anything they've ever done before and this is the type of sound they would like to explore in future albums.<ref>iTunes LP - The Resistance</ref><br />
<br />
For live performances, during The Resistance Matt used his [[Manson Keytar]], but from The 2nd Law Tour onward he plays no instrument and just sings and usually goes and shakes hands with audience members (exception being the [[North American Summer Amphitheatre Tour 2017|NA Summer Amphitheatres Tour]] where he filled in certain parts with his then brand new custom Manson acoustic guitar, probably just to get used to it/test it's sound live) <br />
<br />
During all dates of The Resistance Tour, Matt usually played a synth introduction with his keytar, which sounds similar to Depeche Mode's live synth intro of "Enjoy the Silence".<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncvx8OVWaqg</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9FMOTvNB5s</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
For live performances, some of the orchestral notes are sometimes replaced with electronic notes.<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
<br />
Though not the hit the band hoped it would be, Undisclosed Desires still managed to chart very high in many countries, leading to its reputation as a recognizable, catchy pop song. With that description, though, it manages to attract criticism from some diehard fans when it is performed live. This is why it is common to hear poor reception regarding Undisclosed Desires when performed live. Regardless, with the exception of the 2015 Drones Festival Tour and the 2014 trio of gigs, Undisclosed Desires has appeared on every tour since The Resistance Tour. <br />

According to Matt: "This song is completely different from the rest, there is something oppressive inside of it, with a gothic sound"<ref name="RockMagSeptember2003"><br />

<br />
According to Matt: "The verses speak somewhat of a dead relationship or something like that.There was a great part of improvisation. Making music or sing is for me an act of seeking absolution. In fact, this is my personal way to find a manner to understand myself, understand all these elements confusing on me, those things that scare me and that arise in this song <ref name="RockMagSeptember2003"/><br />
<br />
According to [[Dominic Howard]], this song is about writing music,<ref name="laut20031002">{{cite/laut20031002}}</ref> singing<ref name="unt2003">{{cite/3VOOR12 2003-09-24}}</ref> and the finding of non-religious absolution through both.<ref name="laut20031002"/><ref name="unt2003"/> He described the process of song writing as taking inspiration on things one does not understand or which makes you have confused feelings and as result, feeling better about them because by doing so, its a form of "deciphering" the things you don't really understand.<ref name="unt2003"/><br />
<br />
An acoustic version was released on the [[Butterflies & Hurricanes (single) | Butterflies & Hurricanes single]]. Live, the song was played from 2003 through 2005 and occasionally in 2007.<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
<br />
Sing For Absolution was commonly played during the Absolution Tour in 2003 and 2004, appearing at more than half of the shows. The song was put to rest for 2 years before reappearing during the Black Holes & Revelations Tour in March 2007. It was played at the Japanese concerts throughout March and a few US concerts in April. The song wouldn't be played until a one-off performance at the second night at Wembley Stadium. The song would return for another few performances in September and October of that year in the US, Europe and Russia.<br />

I only dream of you<br />

Sing for absolution<br />
I will be singing<br />
And falling from your grace<br />

There's no where left to hide<br />
In no one to confide<br />
The truth burns deep inside<br />
And will never die<br />

Lips are turning blue<br />
A kiss that can't renew<br />

== Information ==<br />
{{disco-info |<br />
''Absolution'' is Muse's third album and was released worldwide during September 2003. The songs featured on Absolution were written whilst Muse toured in support of ''[[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]]'' and ''[[Hullabaloo Soundtrack (live)|Hullabaloo]]'', with some songs such as "[[Fury (song) | Fury]]" originating as early as [[Bristol Fleece and Firkin 2000 (gig)|early 2000]]. Like the previous Muse album, ''Origin of Symmetry'', ''Absolution'' is influenced by classical composers such as [[Sergei Rachmaninov]] and [[Interlude (song) | Samuel Barber]], whilst "Endlessly" introduces a more electronic sound with songs such as "[[The Small Print (song) | The Small Print]]" and "[[Thoughts of a Dying Atheist (song) | Thoughts of a Dying Atheist]]" being guitar-led.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the album Matt started to writing songs about mundane home matters, according to Matt: "Showbiz was a bit of teenage angst, "Origin of Symmetry" was about going on tour all the time and losing connection with our family and friends so we don't really know anyone apart from ourselves and even ourselves we didn't know anymore and "Absolution" is more about us being personable, about us being normal people at home"<ref name="NME20130913"><br />

}}</ref><br />
<br />
Matt said that he started to experience violent mood swings in the studio: "The album goes from being the most amazing music I've heard in my life to the most laughable piece of shit I've ever heard within the space of a couple o minutes; I was moving between the extremes of doubt and absolute ridiculous confidence. There are moments when you, the rest of the band, the producer and the assistant producer all look at each other and think 'what the fuck are we doing? we've completely lost the plot'<ref name="NME20130913"/><br />
<br />
Matt explained that the songs are more "uplifting", mostly because he has fallen in love as he said: "I'm not married yet! But I've been drawn into this Italian world. I met this [[Gaia Polloni|girl]] from over there so I'm into all that" Also in the same interview he said: "I think there'll be some songs that are straightforward rock, some of my favourite new songs are like ABBA!"<ref>NME - Muse plug in again. September/2002</ref><br />
<br />
===Concept===<br />
<br />
Absolution is an album that talks about "the end of all things", being "Apocalypse Please" a literal metaphor of ending of things, Dom mentioned that "The end of the world is quite a terrifying and alarming thing. There are plenty of songs on the album talking about possible things going to an end. Be it the end of the world, of a relationship to somebody or of your job."<ref>{{cite/laut20031002}}</ref> With songs like 'Butterflies and Hurricanes' as an opposite to all since that song is about "finding hope and fighting things to make the best out of such situations".<br />
<br />
===Title===<br />
In an Interview about the name of the album Matt said: "I think the absolution is not necessarily a religious word; It has meanings of purity, but it's not necessarily talking from a Christian or any particular religious point of view. I think it's just suggesting that the act of making music is a way of understanding things." <ref>Hall or Nothing - Muse - Album Review: Absolution (9/10) September/2003</ref><br />
<br />
During 2002, Chris was quoted saying that the third album would be called "Universal Melodies". This would later be changed sometime into development.<ref>[https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/instantMUSEnger/conversations/topics/14813]</ref><br />
<br />
=== Recording ===<br />
The album was recorded at [[Grouse Lodge Residential Recording Studios|Grouse Lodge Studios]] in Ireland and [[Air Studios|AIR Studios]] in London during 2003.<ref name="soundonsound200312">{{cite/soundonsound200312}}</ref>, the songs "[[Fury (song) | Fury]]"<ref name="tk20050302">{{cite/muselive20050302}}</ref> and "[[Soldier's Poem (song) | Soldier's Poem]]"<ref name="ml20060601"><br />

}}</ref> were originally intended to appear on ''Absolution''. Whilst Matt wanted to keep "Fury" on the album, it was dropped in favour of "[[The Small Print (song) | The Small Print]]" as per Dom and Chris's preference,<ref name="tk20050302"/> and it became the Japanese bonus track and B-side to "[[Sing for Absolution (single)|Sing for Absolution]]". Matt suggested in 2008 that this was because the band did not like "Fury" as much after playing it live before the album's release.<ref name="nme20080813">{{cite/NME 2008-08-13}}</ref> "Soldier's Poem" was ultimately reworked for the follow-up to ''Absolution'', [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]].<ref name="ml20060601"/> Rich Costey began producing ''Absolution'' after a the tracks "[[Blackout (song) | Blackout]]" and "[[Butterflies & Hurricanes (song) | Butterflies & Hurricanes]]" were recorded with Paul Reeve, who co-produced ''[[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]]'' and John Cornfield, who engineered ''Showbiz'' and ''Orgin of Symmetry''.<ref name="soundonsound200312"/><br />
<br />
=== Pre-release ===<br />
The promo CD-R is encrypted so that the tracks cannot be ripped, and instead contains software through which the tracks can be played.<br />
<br />
=== Release ===<br />
There was a limited edition of ''Absolution'' released that featured a bonus DVD. The DVD had 40 minutes of 'The making of ''Absolution''' footage, as well as pictures to view. Some editions of ''Absolution'', including the limited editions, had inlay errors when it was released in September; the positions of "Interlude" and "Hysteria" were switched on the track list.<ref>''Absolution'' back inlay</ref> These could be returned and replaced with corrected inlays, although many were kept for collectors value.<br />
<br />
The first single, "[[Stockholm Syndrome (single)|Stockholm Syndrome]]", was released on the 14<sup>th</sup> July 2003.<br />
<br />
The Australian re-release contained an extra disc, featuring 6 tracks from the [[Sydney Showground 2004 - 23rd (gig)|Big Day Out 2004 (23<sup>rd</sup> Jan 2004)]] in Sydney.<br />
<br />
The album has gone double platinum in the UK since its release<ref name="mc20051204"><br />

<br />
''Absolution'' was reissued in double 12" vinyl on the 18th of August, 2009 to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the debut album, ''Showbiz''.<br />
<br />
===Artwork===<br />
The artwork was designed by [[Storm Thorgerson]]. [[Dominic Howard]]: "The artwork can either been seen as people coming down to Earth or leaving the Earth, it's open to interpretation".<ref>Absolution EPK</ref><br />
<br />
(Excerpt from 'Taken by Storm - The Album Art by Storm Thorgerson')<br />
"Commissions come in many different ways and this one arrived via the very wonderful Internet, insomuch as Dom, the intrepid drummer of Muse, discovered a rough on our website which he thought might work for them.<br />
<br />
We met with Dom and agreed that we should try and render our pencil sketch as a real event: shadows of flying people spread across the ground as if cast by a squadron of flying craft, magical beings swooping over the Earth to the amazement of the viewer on the ground looking up. it is a though he is witnessing some mystical event, a visitation of strange beings, which can only be inferred by us, the viewers of the picture, because all we see are shadows, whereas the viewer of the picture seems them for real, gliding serenely overhead. He is deeply moved and experiences a kind of absolution as one might in the presence of a such a miraculous sight.<br />
<br />
The other thing I hoped the band liked as much as I did is the pattern made by the shadows which has, I feel, the appeal of all patterns, namely the symmetry, but not the meaningless repetition of wallpaper. I had imagined that these flying beings were like the strange creatures of our a children's story by Maurice Sendak, whose illustrious I much admired. It seemed important to maintain a texture in the ground, holes, pebbles, striations, etc, to provide a 3-D backcloth upon which the shadows could fall. A chalkpit was deemed appropriate since Muse had spent much of their teenage years hanging out in the chalkpits near their Devon homes. Doing what? I’d like to know.<br />
<br />
In pursuit again of the avowed philosophy of ‘doing it for real’, we made cut-out shapes from hardboard and fixed them on top of tall poles, took them to a chalkpit near London and photographed them in strong sunlight, thus to cast definite shadows. All very well you might think, except for the typical, crappy English weather, unpredictable yet grey, which meant we had to shoot this three times.<br />
<br />
I felt ‘absolved’ through the endeavour."<br />

=== Retrospective ===<br />
The band has played more songs live on Absolution than any other album, including two which have yet to be played ("Intro", "Falling Away With You"). Three songs ("Time is Running Out", "Stockholm Syndrome", and "Hysteria") have been played at every major tour since the Absolution Tour. In addition, of the songs that have been played live, all except for "Endlessly", "The Small Print" and "Thoughts of a Dying Atheist" have been played since the Absolution Tour.<br />
<br />
Matt expressed on separate occasions in 2015 that [[The Groove (song)|The Groove]] and [[Fury (song)|Fury]] should have been released on the album.<br />

<br />
==Description==<br />
Live song that was played towards the end of each set. Standard set closer between the releases of [[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]] and [[Absolution (album)|Absolution]]. During some live performances, the band played an Extended version in which the main riff is repeated and mixed with some improvisation. This can be seen in the Hullabaloo DVD. The song made made occasional appearances during the Black Holes and Revelations Tour and The Resistance Tour but was played regularly during the The 2nd Law and Drones Tours. Bellamy occasionally goes up an octave for the first half of the final chorus, an example being at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xq1Ay5_qHs Live 8 2005] and at Reading 2011<br />
<br />
==Matthew Bellamy's definition of Bliss==<br />
<br />
"This is probably the most positive track, the most truly embracing song. It's almost in awe of the situation I've been given, because it's a state of mind were you give out everything you have without any need for return. It's also a song aimed towards some-one's youth, someone who hasn't been exposed to stuff yet"<ref>Rock Sound - 2001</ref><br />
<br />
==Composition==<br />
Bliss is an electronic rock song that moves at a fast tempo of 129 bpm. The song begins and ends with piano arpeggios, but the majority of the song is synth-driven. Bellamy's vocal range spans from F3 to E5, except for live performances, where he sometimes hits G5 in the last chorus. The song is mostly written in the key of C minor, shifting to C major for the chorus.<br />
<br />
Matt mentioned that "The Crystal Lake" by Grandaddy was one of the best things he heard back in 2000<ref name="melodymaker200006"><br />

</ref>, the synths being very similar in songs like Shine; it seems that Matt decided to use an arpeggio synth inspired by the song in the same way, resulting in an unique sounding piece.<br />
<br />
==Additional information==<br />
Bliss is the song that represents the best state of mind you can have. It’s a state of mind where you give out everything you have without any need for return. It's also a song aimed towards someone’s youth, someone who hasn’t been exposed to stuff yet. However it should be a positive song, the lyrics give the impression that you're envy on a person and you want to be just like him/her because s/he looks perfect to you and you're not.<br />
<br />
[[Matt Bellamy]] has stated that Bliss is his favorite song "because it's got all these 80s arpeggios and keyboards on it which remind me of some music I heard on some children’s music programme when I was five. I think I ripped it off that. And that reminds me of when I was a bit simpler, a bit more of a pleasant state."<ref>NME - Muse Interview - 06/16/2001</ref><br />
<br />
Received its first airing at the Bizarre Festival in Germany in 2000, without guitars, mostly bass led and featuring reversed lyrics and a somewhat erratic keyboard, sounding similar to the music of an old arcade game. A second version featuring guitars debuted early 2001, though the riff is different to the album version.<br />
<br />
The album version was recorded in the shroomed-up Dave Bottrill sessions.<br />
<br />
Sometimes when the song is sung live, Bellamy begins the final chorus with a wailing falsetto and continues it into the first line, before singing the final two lines in the chorus in his normal register.<br />
<br />
===Alternate versions===<br />
The [[Origin of Symmetry (album)#Unmastered press preview, unmastered UK CD-R|Origin of Symmetry Unmastered Promos]] contain an unmastered, extended version of Bliss which has a longer outro. A mastered extended version can be found on each of the Bliss singles, including the CD in the Japanese [[Hyper Music (box set)|Hyper Music Box Set]].<br />
<br />
The unmastered version is actually only 4:36 long (just like the version on the singles). The length of 4:54 on the unmastered version is due to a long pause after the longer arpeggios are completely faded out.<br />
<br />
===Remixes===<br />
One Bliss remix, the "Spaced Out mix", was created by a user on the official boards with an alias of "Chocolate Muse". This differs a lot to the original version, featuring spaced out vocals, a robotic voice, and is generally very electronic.<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
<br />
Bliss was originally played live in 2000 in the form of a very early keyboard-based song. Bliss would rotate between being played on keyboards and guitar until the end of the year. Though only performed live for less than a month in 2000, Bliss would continue to be worked on over the course of every performance. Acting as the outro to almost every concert of the entire Origin of Symmetry tour, Bliss was never skipped unless it was a promotional gig. It remained a part of nearly every setlist throughout 2003 before finally being skipped at a few dates in 2004. Bliss on the Origin of Symmetry tour could sometimes last up to seven minutes at certain concerts. Between 2004 and 2006 Bliss would remain at most setlists, though the band would sometimes skip the song for extended periods of time such as the 2004 Curiosa tour. 2006 would be the last year Bliss was routinely performed live at most concerts. <br />

<br />
==Description==<br />
Live song that was played towards the end of each set. Standard set closer between the releases of [[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]] and [[Absolution (album)|Absolution]]. During some live performances, the band played an Extended version in which the main riff is repeated and mixed with some improvisation. This can be seen in the Hullabaloo DVD. The song made made occasional appearances during the Black Holes and Revelations Tour and The Resistance Tour but was played regularly during the The 2nd Law and Drones Tours. Bellamy occasionally goes up an octave for the first half of the final chorus, an example being at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xq1Ay5_qHs Live 8 2005] and at Reading 2011<br />
<br />
==Matthew Bellamy's definition of Bliss==<br />
<br />
"This is probably the most positive track, the most truly embracing song. It's almost in awe of the situation I've been given, because it's a state of mind were you give out everything you have without any need for return. It's also a song aimed towards some-one's youth, someone who hasn't been exposed to stuff yet"<ref>Rock Sound - 2001</ref><br />
<br />
==Composition==<br />
Bliss is an electronic rock song that moves at a fast tempo of 129 bpm. The song begins and ends with piano arpeggios, but the majority of the song is synth-driven. Bellamy's vocal range spans from F3 to E5, except for live performances, where he sometimes hits G5 in the last chorus. The song is mostly written in the key of C minor, shifting to C major for the chorus.<br />
<br />
Matt mentioned that "The Crystal Lake" by Grandaddy was one of the best things he heard back in 2000, the synths being very similar in songs like Shine; it seems that Matt decided to use an arpeggio synth inspired by the song in the same way, resulting in an unique sounding piece.<br />
<br />
==Additional information==<br />
Bliss is the song that represents the best state of mind you can have. It’s a state of mind where you give out everything you have without any need for return. It's also a song aimed towards someone’s youth, someone who hasn’t been exposed to stuff yet. However it should be a positive song, the lyrics give the impression that you're envy on a person and you want to be just like him/her because s/he looks perfect to you and you're not.<br />
<br />
[[Matt Bellamy]] has stated that Bliss is his favorite song "because it's got all these 80s arpeggios and keyboards on it which remind me of some music I heard on some children’s music programme when I was five. I think I ripped it off that. And that reminds me of when I was a bit simpler, a bit more of a pleasant state."<ref>NME - Muse Interview - 06/16/2001</ref><br />
<br />
Received its first airing at the Bizarre Festival in Germany in 2000, without guitars, mostly bass led and featuring reversed lyrics and a somewhat erratic keyboard, sounding similar to the music of an old arcade game. A second version featuring guitars debuted early 2001, though the riff is different to the album version.<br />
<br />
The album version was recorded in the shroomed-up Dave Bottrill sessions.<br />
<br />
Sometimes when the song is sung live, Bellamy begins the final chorus with a wailing falsetto and continues it into the first line, before singing the final two lines in the chorus in his normal register.<br />
<br />
===Alternate versions===<br />
The [[Origin of Symmetry (album)#Unmastered press preview, unmastered UK CD-R|Origin of Symmetry Unmastered Promos]] contain an unmastered, extended version of Bliss which has a longer outro. A mastered extended version can be found on each of the Bliss singles, including the CD in the Japanese [[Hyper Music (box set)|Hyper Music Box Set]].<br />
<br />
The unmastered version is actually only 4:36 long (just like the version on the singles). The length of 4:54 on the unmastered version is due to a long pause after the longer arpeggios are completely faded out.<br />
<br />
===Remixes===<br />
One Bliss remix, the "Spaced Out mix", was created by a user on the official boards with an alias of "Chocolate Muse". This differs a lot to the original version, featuring spaced out vocals, a robotic voice, and is generally very electronic.<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
<br />
Bliss was originally played live in 2000 in the form of a very early keyboard-based song. Bliss would rotate between being played on keyboards and guitar until the end of the year. Though only performed live for less than a month in 2000, Bliss would continue to be worked on over the course of every performance. Acting as the outro to almost every concert of the entire Origin of Symmetry tour, Bliss was never skipped unless it was a promotional gig. It remained a part of nearly every setlist throughout 2003 before finally being skipped at a few dates in 2004. Bliss on the Origin of Symmetry tour could sometimes last up to seven minutes at certain concerts. Between 2004 and 2006 Bliss would remain at most setlists, though the band would sometimes skip the song for extended periods of time such as the 2004 Curiosa tour. 2006 would be the last year Bliss was routinely performed live at most concerts. <br />

==Description==<br />
A "misleading" [[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]]-era style intro of tinkly piano, which then proceeds into Origin of Symmetry era sound, riffs and distortion.<br />
<br />
==Matthew Bellamy's definition of New Born==<br />
<br />
"A feeling of not being connected to each other, but we are, and it's a feeling of the mind evolving from the body, but when that happens you just get this yearn to do something physical and feel something sensational, physical-ness-ness".<br />
<br />
"It's about a semi-fear of the evolution of technology,<br />
and how in reality it's destroying all humanity. <br />
My fear is that we can't control it because it's moving faster than we are,<br />
so the songs setting myself in a location in the future where the body is no longer important<br />
and everyone's plugged into a network. The opening line is 'link it to the world', <br />
so it's connecting yourself on a worldwide scale and being born into another reality,<br />
in a way it's on the same lines as the film The Matrix,<br />
but we weren't intending on copying their idea on technology and how it has evolved."<ref>Rock Sound - 2001</ref><br />
<br />
==Composition==<br />
New Born is an electronic/alternative rock song written in the key of E minor. It opens with broken piano chords (arpeggios), until a sustained chord is played, followed by fuzzy guitar which leads into the main part of the song. The song moves at a fairly fast tempo, with the intro playing at 147 bpm, before increasing to 153 bpm. Interestingly, the intro is played a lot faster live, while the rest of the song is generally played slower. Even more interestingly, both parts of the song have decreased in speed over time.<br />
<br />
Bellamy's vocal range spans from F♯3 to E5. The outro features sampled vocals.<br />
<br />
==Additional information==<br />
New Born began life as a piece played in sound check on the 2000 tour, while supporting the Foo Fighters, and the piano intro was written afterwards.<ref name="xfm20071007">{{cite/xfm20071007}}</ref> Matt didn't originally like the name "New Born", instead wanting to call the song either "Strangle" or "Strangulation".<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20040611052116fw_/http://216.58.174.210/plush-plushnet/muse/newone/extra/index.htm]</ref> During the recording of the album in the [[David Bottrill]] sessions, the band experimented with using Bellamy's voice for the intro in place of a piano, but decided that this was too abstract and removed it post-recording.<ref name="xfm20071007"/> Bellamy attributed this to things sounding better when experiencing the effect of magic mushrooms, which Muse were using during said recording sessions.<ref name="xfm20071007"/> However, said vocals can be heard at the end of the songs.<br />
<br />
On the single the ending (using sampled vocals) fades out gently, unlike the version found on the album [[Origin of Symmetry]].<br />
<br />
The song was played very commonly throughout the Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, Black Holes and Revelations and Resistance Tours. It was also played regulary during The 2nd Law Tour in rotation with Stockholm Syndrome. However, it made very rare appearances during the Drones Tour. This makes it the 4th most played Muse song live.<br />

<br />
== Description ==<br />
According to Matt Bellamy: "It speaks of the difficulty of remembering the good and bad times, Your memory selects certain moments of your life and zap. What makes you having a hard time remembering things done then, because it is in a corner of your brain .... it's probably a good thing to forget certain moments"<ref name="RockMagSeptember2003"><br />
{{cite |<br />
title="Apocalypse Now" September 2003 | desc=French interview about Absolution | date=2003-09 | auth=Rock Mag | pub=Rock Mag| doc="Apocalypse Now"| type=int<br />
}}</ref><br />
<br />
In the POV of Dominic Howard: "A song like 'Falling Away' certainly is about lost memories and how memory sneaks off and you just forget certain things. However, this can be a good thing, too, because it helps to develop and to change if you have to"<ref>{{cite/laut20031002}}</ref><br />
<br />
Matt also said: "I don't know why this song is soft with the harmony that gives the guitar."<ref name="RockMagSeptember2003"/><br />
<br />
About past relationships.{{cite/none}} [[Matthew Bellamy]] has said that this has stemmed from feelings that he has had.{{cite/none}}<br />
<br />
It sounds like a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_(instrument) Hang], an instrument similar to a steel drum, was used at the start of this song.<br />
<br />
The main riff of the song bears a resemblance to the songs "Blackbird" and “In My Life” by [[The Beatles]].<br />
<br />
== Additional information == <br />
The song is one of six album tracks never played live (the other five being [[Exogenesis: Symphony (song) | Exogenesis Symphony Part 2]], [[Big Freeze (song)|Big Freeze]], [[Aftermath (song)|Aftermath]], [[Get Up and Fight (song)|Get Up And Fight]] and [[Blockades (song)|Blockades]]), aside from as an instrumental introduction to Eternally Missed for at least the two Carling Weekend performances of 2002. This is because "it never really seemed to work" when played live, according to [[Christopher Wolstenholme]], although he indicated it may be played in the future.<ref>{{cite/ripitup20071203}}</ref> The riff was played as an intro to Starlight on the São Paulo, Brazil gig in 2008 which probably hints a preparation for a possible live performance.<ref name="Falling Away With You on Youtube">[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMQ7mJqGv_k]]</ref> However, in 2012, being asked on Twitter whether they will ever play the song live, Bellamy replied that he was "not sure".<ref>https://twitter.com/muse/status/251031428714856448</ref><br />
<br />
The intro was once again played at the [[New York iHeartRadio Theater 2018 (gig) | Simulation Theory iHeartRadio release party]].<br />
<br />
Falling Away with You was called World Crumbling during the recording process, as seen on the Making of [[Absolution (album) | Absolution]] bonus DVD.<ref name="absobon"/><br />
<br />
The whole song is in 4/4. The rhythm of the guitar pattern on the verses is syncopated, starting on the third beat.<br />
<br />
== Lyrics ==<br />
{{lyrics<br />
|I can't remember when it was good<br />
Moments of happiness elude<br />
Maybe I just misunderstood<br />
<br />
All of the love we left behind<br />
Watching the flashbacks intertwine<br />
Memories I will never find<br />
<br />
So I'll love whatever you become<br />
And forget the reckless things we've done<br />
I think our lives have just begun <br />
I think our lives have just begun<br />
<br />
And I'll feel my world crumbling, <br />
I'll feel my life crumbling<br />
I'll feel my soul crumbling away<br />
And falling away,<br />
Falling away with you<br />
<br />
Staying awake to chase a dream<br />
Tasting the air you're breathing in<br />
I hope I won't forget a thing<br />
<br />
Promise to hold you close and pray<br />
Watching the fantasies decay<br />
Nothing will ever stay the same<br />
<br />
And all of the love we threw away<br />
And all of the hopes we've cherished fade<br />
Making the same mistakes again <br />
Making the same mistakes again<br />
<br />
I'll feel my world crumbling, <br />
I'll feel my life crumbling<br />
I'll feel my soul crumbling away<br />
And falling away,<br />
Falling away with you<br />
<br />
All of the love we left behind<br />
Watching the flash backs intertwine<br />
Memories I will never find<br />
Memories I will never find<br />

==Description==<br />
Intro to Defector. It samples John F. Kennedy's speech mixed with music which is a reminder of Defector's guitar solo melody, but with orchestral strings.<br />
<br />
According to Matt Bellamy, the intro is a start to more positive songs on the album, where the main character defects against the system.<br />

Matt said about the track that: "It talks about the human spirit, freedom and independence kind of stuff" and this is "where everything does a transition" and that "The JFK speech, at that time it was talking about the rise of communism and stuff, when you heard the words he said it's so relevant to the world even now".<ref> <br />

== Trivia ==<br />
JFK as an intro was aired at some tour dates during the Black Holes and Revelations tour in 2007, however it included more lines than the newer version, and only included his speech, without the string elements.<br />
<br />
The background noise is the pitched down sound of a Drone MQ-9 Reaper flying, that sound is characteristic of the propellers of the so called drone.<br />
<br />
== Live ==<br />
The song was premiered on John F. Kennedy's Birthday, on May 29th, 2015 at [[Olympiapark, Munich 2015 (gig) | Rockavaria Festival 2015]] as an intro to Uprising.<br />
<br />
During the Drones tour has been an intro to [[Uprising (song) | Uprising]], [[Defector (song) | Defector]], [[Revolt (song) | Revolt]], [[Reapers (song) | Reapers]], [[Stockholm Syndrome (song) | Stockholm Syndrome]], [[Interlude (song) | Interlude]] + [[Hysteria (song) | Hysteria]] and [[Assassin (song) | Assassin]]. It has been a staple during all the Drones World Tour.<br />
<br />
In 2023, it made a comeback for the [[Will of the People World Tour]]. Speech only is played from tape, before [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]], on top of the instrumental of [[Simulation_Theory_Theme_(Matthew_Bellamy_song)|Simulation Theory Theme]].<br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
Title track off of the album [[Will of the People (album)|Will of the People]]. The song's name has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info. In late May of 2022, Apple Music began showing the track length of the song in the album playlist, while Amazon set up a release date of June the 1st. The song itself got leaked on May 26th, 2022, while the official release date of the single, being June 1st, was announced a day later. <br />
<br />
Will Of The People has previously been teased by Muse through a couple of short clips, on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzHnwHzp9o4 YouTube] and [https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLgvvBqtzI/ Instagram], revealing the album's name. Upon the album announcement, Warner described it as a track that "''brings playful provocation to a dystopian glam-rocker''"<ref>https://themusicuniverse.com/muse-announces-will-people/</ref><br />
<br />
According to Matt, the song is "''like a populist parody, almost the antithesis to [[Uprising (song)|Uprising]]''", adding "''Whereas ‘Uprising’ was almost populist but taking it seriously, ‘Will Of The People’ is almost, ‘Do we know that we’re stupid now? Do we know how silly this sounds and looks?’ Inside of me, there’s always been this little bit of a conflict between the desire for direct democracy and a bit more actual power to the people, but then at the same time realising that sometimes the people can be mad… Because they’ve had no voice for so long, populism ends up becoming distorted and strange and spiting everything. People end up spiting things just because they don’t have any fucking say.''".<ref>https://www.nme.com/big-reads/muse-cover-interview-2022-will-of-the-people-3243209</ref><br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
<br />
The track starts out with a looping crowd, chanting the line "The Will of the People". The same loop appears throughout the song. The track itself is based around guitar, bass and drums, with some guitar-synth layering, which is especially noticeable during the last part. The song also features heavy use of roto-toms during the bridge part. It also features a lot of "ooh"s and "woah"s throughout the song, aswel as a high-pitched scream, at around 2 minutes and 42 seconds. The choir consists of around 150 audio tracks, all of which were put together in remote, due to all the lockdowns throughout the pandemic.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CeRBJolg96L/</ref><br />
<br />
Stylistically, the song is reminiscent of songs such as [[Uprising (song)|Uprising]], [[Psycho (song)|Psycho]] and [[Supermassive Black Hole (song)|Supermassive Black Hole]], featuring a similar swing-rhythm and elements of glam-rock and a punchy 50s Elvis rockabilly. The looping choir has been compared to "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson and the songs structure has been compared to that of Green Day, sounding like 'East Jesus Nowhere'. It's also been compared to [[Pressure (song)|Pressure]] and [[New Kind of Kick (song)|New Kind of Kick]], having the same "rock'n'roll" feel with the saturated vocals. The song runs in A-Major and at a tempo of 130BPM.<br />
<br />
The rough layout of the [[Riffs_and_jams#Early_Will_of_the_People|riff, which appears in the pre-chorus of the song]], extends all the way back to 2019, when it was played by Matt as an improv riff after [[Unsustainable (song)|Unsustainable]], during the [[Simulation Theory World Tour|Simulation Theory Tour]].<br />
<br />
Will of the People is one of two songs on the album to feature [[Fender '83 "Jeff Buckley" Telecaster|Jeff Buckley's Telecaster]]. It is used for the high bluesy leads during the choruses.<br />
<br />
== Music Video ==<br />
<br />
Like the song itself, the music video was also used in the teaser, following the album reveal in March of 2022. The video itself tells the story of how the heads got torn down during a riot, which can be seen on the album artwork.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
Following the release of the music video, Muse posted the official lyrics under the YouTube video, but similar to other lyrical mistakes in the past (such as the various misprints in the Origin of Symmetry sleeve notes), the official lyrics contain two errors. As confirmed by Aleks Von Korff on Reddit, a line from the first verse is written as “''Don't need a goon to flood with devotion''”, when Matt sings ”''Don't need a gun to flirt with devotion''”<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/v3wydc/are_these_the_real_lyrics_or_did_apple_music/ib2fui1/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref>, while a line from the second verse, written as “''We’re gonna smash this nation to pieces''” is in fact “''your nation''”.<br />
<br />
The chants/crowd vocals are not only sung by Matt Bellamy. Instead, they are sung by the entire band, together with Elle, Bing Bellamy, Chris's wife Caris and his kids, Ernie, Buster, Teddi, Tabitha and Indiana.<br />
<br />
== Live ==<br />
<br />
Performed live as an intro to the shows, it features a slightly extended guitar chugging intro. It was first performed live on [[Nürburg Nürburgring 2022 (gig)|June 4th, 2022]].<br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
A punk rock song with elements of stoner rock, QOTSA-like drum beats and Queen-style vocals, the song style in particular has been compared to the punk rock band "The Dead Kennedys". Sounding similar to the songs “Save me”, “Liquid State” and "Unsustainable" from The 2nd Law. The final guitar riff is similar to Truckfighters's song Desert Cruiser, and is also similar to [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]].<br />
<br />
The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info, while the song was leaked together with the rest of the album on August 23rd, 2022. We Are Fucking Fucked is implied as a ''a frenetic finale of the brutally honest lyrics''.<ref>https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwmusic/article/Muse-Announces-New-Album-Will-Of-The-People-20220317</ref> Matt Bellamy said that this is the "''weirdest, darkest lost B-side of Muse's life''"<ref>https://youtu.be/BiD9f59oo1w</ref> NME described it as an "anthem of the apocalypse".<ref>https://www.nme.com/big-reads/muse-cover-interview-2022-will-of-the-people-3243209</ref> Kerrang described the track as a straigthforward, stripped back riffer, while Gigwise described it as "''the most joyous-sounding outpouring of helplessness about the impending doom of the planet''", comparing it to [[Biffy Clyro]].<ref>https://www.gigwise.com/reviews/3425930/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref><br />
<br />
This song joins the only other three songs to feature swearing. These are [[Crying Shame (song)|Crying Shame]], [[Panic Station (song)|Panic Station]] and [[Psycho (song)|Psycho]]. None of the listed songs, however, don't feature swearing to such extent as this song. <br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
<br />
Starting out with Dom shouting "We playing together", the song focuses on heavy, fuzzy guitar, distorted bass and drums, with a little keyboard thrown in during certain parts in the chorus. Pre-choruses also feature an air raid siren sample. It also features Matt and his Queen-like stacked vocals during the final part, singing the lines "Stockpile" and "Hold up". The same final part also features a short guitar solo and some synth arpeggiation.<br />
<br />
This is another one of the two songs to use [[Fender '83 "Jeff Buckley" Telecaster|Jeff Buckley's Telecaster]]. According to Matt, he used it during the verses.<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, 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 this L.A. 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. <br />
<br />
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 this L.A. studio, with the wooden Kawai piano. According to him, the studio (location-tagged by Von Korff on Instagram as "The Black Lodge") had been fully built or re-built in early 2020.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CX6KyANuNT8/</ref> The studio was previously seen during the recording sessions for the debut album of Matt's cover band/supergroup [[The Jaded Hearts Club]], aswell as during bits of the recording of [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]].<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.<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 />
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's just a marketing campaign, while others have suggested a surprise show is 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 were announced a week later, in support of the album, 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 these 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 rest of the [[Will of the People Theatre Tour|Will Of The People Theatre Tour]] was announced in June of 2022. On it, Muse will be performing in smaller venues across Europe and the USA. Some of them haven't seen Muse perform live in almost 20 years. The tour is set to happen after the [[Will of the People Summer Festivals Tour|Will Of The People Summer Festivals Tour]].<br />
<br />
A bigger headlining tour, simply called the [[Will of the People World Tour]] is set to take place in 2023, with the first shows announced in the UK all taking place in outdoor venues.<br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info. The song was leaked together with the rest of the album on August 23rd, 2022.<br />
<br />
In Warner's album recap, Euphoria is described as a "lighting bolt rush" of a song.<ref>https://themusicuniverse.com/muse-announces-will-people/</ref> On Aleks Von Korff's Instagram story, when describing songs through emojis, he used the "devil horns" emoji for this song, hinting that Euphoria'd be a rock-oriented track.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/twez5r/aleks_von_korff_instagram_cluessong_hints/</ref> As described by Riff Magazine, "''“Euphoria” grows from a dance-rock tune into a fist-pumping classic rock chorus''".<ref>https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/muse-will-of-the-people/</ref> Gigwise compared Euphoria to songs like [[Bliss (song)|Bliss]], [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]] and [[Time Is Running Out (song)|Time Is Running Out]].<ref>https://www.gigwise.com/reviews/3425930/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref> Fans also compared the song to [[Revolt (song)|Revolt]] and [[Get Up and Fight (song)|Get Up and Fight]]. The synths are reminiscent to “I Feel Love” by Donna Summer, released back in the 70s.<br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
<br />
Running at 158BPM, Euphoria is a fast-paced song, which features arpeggiated synth lines during the verses, with a fast four-on-the-floor drum beat. It also includes a [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]] & [[Blockades (song)|Blockades]]-inspired guitar sound. The pre-choruses follow a very similar note progression as the pre-choruses in [[Time Is Running Out (song)|Time Is Running Out]]. The song ditches the electronics during the choruses, which feature just guitar, bass and drums, and have a pop punk tinge to them, akin to songs like [[Revolt (song)|Revolt]] and [[Get Up and Fight (song)|Get Up and Fight]], but also similar to songs like [[Time Is Running Out (song)|Time Is Running Out]].<br />
<br />
The song itself is also similar in structure and pace to [[Crying Shame (song)|Crying Shame]], with dancey verses and pop-punky choruses.<br />

|Shut down<br />
We are growing spiritless<br />
If no one cares, then who is gonna save us?<br />
Give us euphoria<br />
<br />
Worn out<br />
Everything will fall apart<br />
So shine a light and warm up this heavy heart<br />
Give us euphoria<br />

Brooding<br />
I need renewing<br />
I want satisfaction<br />
A gut reaction<br />

Give us euphoria<br />
Give us euphoria<br />
It's been all work and no play<br />
Give us euphoria<br />
Give us euphoria<br />
I need to numb all the pain<br />
<br />
Wake up<br />
We're becoming restless<br />
Our last hope and only you can save us<br />
Give us euphoria<br />
Sealed off to numb all the pain<br />
We are running out of air<br />
So start a fire and spice up this love affair<br />
Give us euphoria<br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
Described by NME as a "ballad-turned-[[Queen]] rocker.<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 on, another review said that the song is a modern calling from with that of [[Queen]]'s greatest song, Bohemian Rhapsody. Furthermore, Alt Note Magazine described Liberation as being Freddie-Mercurial and grandiose. Liberation is most reminiscent of Queen-influenced songs, most notably [[United States of Eurasia (song)|United States of Eurasia]], harking back to [[The Resistance (album)|The Resistance]] era.<br />
<br />
In the same NME interview mentioned above, Bellamy said about the song, that it is "''leaning towards what I felt seeing the Black Lives Matter protests. I’m not gonna try to claim to have any understanding of what that culture’s been through or anything, but “intend to erase your place in history” was that feeling of anger… that emotion that you feel in the moment of revolution, where you just want to tear it down and destroy this, even to the extent of changing history itself – people pulling statues down. And “you stole the airwaves but the air belongs to us.''"<br />
<br />
The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info, while the song was leaked together with the rest of the album on August 23rd, 2022.<br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
<br />
The song is built around piano, bass and drums. It starts out with just a piano and vocal intro, before quickly bringing in bass and drums over stacked vocals for the choruses, similar to how the bass and drums in [[United States of Eurasia (song)|United States of Eurasia]] are brought in. The song mellows out again for the second verse, this time bringing in an acoustic guitar and a few electronic drum samples. The final part utilises the acoustic guitar, together with some piano, jazzy drums and acoustic bass.<br />

{{lyrics<br />
|Silenced<br />
You'll make us feel silenced<br />
You stole the airwaves, but the air belongs to us<br />
And violence, you'll make us turn to violence<br />
You've left us choice-less<br />
Our backs against the wall no more, and<br />
<br />
We have plans to take you down<br />
We intend to erase your place in history<br />
Soon (soon) you'll be left with nothing<br />
So I guess we should thank you (thank you) <br />
Thank you (thank you) <br />
Thank you (thank you)<br />
We've had enough<br />
We thank you for playing your part in our liberation<br />
<br />
And losing, the world can see you're losing<br />
You'll send the army to trample on our prayers<br />
And silenced, we'll be no longer silenced<br />
You'll hear our voices<br />
They'll rise even though we're under siege, and<br />
<br />
We have plans to take you down (forced abdication)<br />
We intend to erase your place in history (regime revocation)<br />
Soon (soon) you'll be left with nothing<br />
So I guess we should thank you (thank you) <br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
Another 80s-influenced song, the song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info. The song itself was leaked with the rest of the album on August 23rd, 2022.<br />
<br />
Warner's album recap mentions, that Verona includes "nostalgic" electronic textures, which bring "innocence" and "purity" to the album.<ref>https://themusicuniverse.com/muse-announces-will-people/</ref> Additionally, when Aleks Von Korff was "describing" the last five songs on his Instagram story through hand emojis, he used the heart symbol hands for this song, hinting at Verona being a love song.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/twez5r/aleks_von_korff_instagram_cluessong_hints/</ref> It's descibred by Riff Magazine as an ''"atmospheric synth-heavy mid-tempo ballad that builds as it develops"''.<ref>https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/muse-will-of-the-people/</ref> Gigwise compared the song to The Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition", mentioning it being a candid love song and having sparse guitar.<ref>https://www.gigwise.com/reviews/3425930/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref>. A mellow vibe and dreamy synth elements within the song are also being compared to Stranger Things theme sequence and Coldplay's Ghost Stories by some fans.<br />
<br />
Being a song written about love during the pandemic, the name "Verona" was likely inspired by a combination of two things; Verona is a city in Italy, where Romeo & Juliet take place, while "''The 'Rona''" is a word, by which some people refer to the Covid-19/Corona virus.<br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
<br />
Another synth-heavy song, similar to songs from the [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]] era, and the [[The 2nd Law (album)|The 2nd Law]] era, like “Follow Me” and “Madness” using synths and ‘U2 esque’ riffs, the song starts out with a mellow synth arpeggio, which slowly evolves, adding more layers of synth arpeggios over it. The song only features synth and vocals until a [[U2]]-inspired guitar line joins in at around a minute and a half. Drums are finally brought in at around two and a half minutes. <br />
<br />
For the outro, the song mellows out again to just the synth arpeggio, with a guitar playing soft lines over it.<br />

{{lyrics<br />
|Can we kiss<br />
With poison on our lips<br />
Well I'm not scared<br />
<br />
Can we touch and taste forbidden bliss<br />
They can't stop us now, I won't let you be alone<br />
I am coming for you<br />
Keep us apart, it's too much to ask<br />
<br />
We're running away<br />
Take off your clothes and take off your mask<br />
It's not over now, I won't leave you in the dark<br />
Because I need you so<br />
<br />
Can we kiss, contagion on our lips<br />
Well I don't care<br />
We can touch and feel forbidden bliss<br />
They can't stop us now, I won't let you feel alone<br />
Because I need you so<br />
<br />
You and me<br />
Throw caution to the wind<br />
And I will risk everything just to feel the warmth and voltage from your skin<br />
If this is my last day on earth, I just want to be with you<br />
You are all that's true<br />
<br />
We will kiss, with poison on our lips<br />
Well I'm not scared<br />
We will touch and reach forbidden bliss<br />
They can't stop us now, I won't let you die alone<br />
<br />
Because I love you so<br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
Another 80s-influenced song, the song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info. The song itself was leaked with the rest of the album on August 23rd, 2022.<br />
<br />
Warner's album recap mentions, that Verona includes "nostalgic" electronic textures, which bring "innocence" and "purity" to the album.<ref>https://themusicuniverse.com/muse-announces-will-people/</ref> Additionally, when Aleks Von Korff was "describing" the last five songs on his Instagram story through hand emojis, he used the heart symbol hands for this song, hinting at Verona being a love song.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/twez5r/aleks_von_korff_instagram_cluessong_hints/</ref> It's descibred by Riff Magazine as an ''"atmospheric synth-heavy mid-tempo ballad that builds as it develops"''.<ref>https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/muse-will-of-the-people/</ref> Gigwise compared the song to The Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition", mentioning it being a candid love song and having sparse guitar.<ref>https://www.gigwise.com/reviews/3425930/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref>. A mellow vibe and dreamy synth elements within the song are also being compared to Stranger Things theme sequence and Coldplay's Ghost Stories by some fans.<br />
<br />
Being a song written about love during the pandemic, the name "Verona" was likely inspired by a combination of two things; Verona is a city in Italy, where Romeo & Juliet take place, while "''The 'Rona''" is a word, by which some people refer to the Covid-19/Corona virus.<br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
<br />
Another synth-heavy song, similar to songs from the [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]] era, and the [[The 2nd Law (album)|The 2nd Law]] era, like “Follow Me” and “Madness” using synths and an U2 esque riffs, the song starts out with a mellow synth arpeggio, which slowly evolves, adding more layers of synth arpeggios over it. The song only features synth and vocals until a [[U2]]-inspired guitar line joins in at around a minute and a half. Drums are finally brought in at around two and a half minutes. <br />
<br />
For the outro, the song mellows out again to just the synth arpeggio, with a guitar playing soft lines over it.<br />

{{lyrics<br />
|Can we kiss<br />
With poison on our lips<br />
Well I'm not scared<br />

Can we touch and taste forbidden bliss<br />
They can't stop us now, I won't let you be alone<br />
I am coming for you<br />
Keep us apart, it's too much to ask<br />
<br />
We're running away<br />
Take off your clothes and take off your mask<br />
It's not over now, I won't leave you in the dark<br />
Because I need you so<br />
<br />
Can we kiss, contagion on our lips<br />
Well I don't care<br />
We can touch and feel forbidden bliss<br />
They can't stop us now, I won't let you feel alone<br />
Because I need you so<br />
<br />
You and me<br />
Throw caution to the wind<br />
And I will risk everything just to feel the warmth and voltage from your skin<br />
If this is my last day on earth, I just want to be with you<br />
You are all that's true<br />
<br />
We will kiss, with poison on our lips<br />
Well I'm not scared<br />
We will touch and reach forbidden bliss<br />
They can't stop us now, I won't let you die alone<br />

Because I love you so<br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
A punk rock song with elements of stoner rock, QOTSA-like drum beats and Queen-style vocals, the song style in particular has been compared to the punk rock band "The Dead Kennedys". The final guitar riff is similar to Truckfighters's song Desert Cruiser, and is also similar to [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]].<br />
<br />
The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info, while the song was leaked together with the rest of the album on August 23rd, 2022. We Are Fucking Fucked is implied as a ''a frenetic finale of the brutally honest lyrics''.<ref>https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwmusic/article/Muse-Announces-New-Album-Will-Of-The-People-20220317</ref> Matt Bellamy said that this is the "''weirdest, darkest lost B-side of Muse's life''"<ref>https://youtu.be/BiD9f59oo1w</ref> NME described it as an "anthem of the apocalypse".<ref>https://www.nme.com/big-reads/muse-cover-interview-2022-will-of-the-people-3243209</ref> Kerrang described the track as a straigthforward, stripped back riffer, while Gigwise described it as "''the most joyous-sounding outpouring of helplessness about the impending doom of the planet''", comparing it to [[Biffy Clyro]].<ref>https://www.gigwise.com/reviews/3425930/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref><br />
<br />
This song joins the only other three songs to feature swearing. These are [[Crying Shame (song)|Crying Shame]], [[Panic Station (song)|Panic Station]] and [[Psycho (song)|Psycho]]. None of the listed songs, however, don't feature swearing to such extent as this song. <br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
<br />
Starting out with Dom shouting "We playing together", the song focuses on heavy, fuzzy guitar, distorted bass and drums, with a little keyboard thrown in during certain parts in the chorus. Pre-choruses also feature an air raid siren sample. It also features Matt and his Queen-like stacked vocals during the final part, singing the lines "Stockpile" and "Hold up". The same final part also features a short guitar solo and some synth arpeggiation. Sounding similar to the songs “Save me” and “Liquid State” from The 2nd Law.<br />
<br />
This is another one of the two songs to use [[Fender '83 "Jeff Buckley" Telecaster|Jeff Buckley's Telecaster]]. According to Matt, he used it during the verses.<br />

The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info. The song was leaked together with the rest of the album on August 23rd, 2022.<br />
<br />
In Warner's album recap, Euphoria is described as a "lighting bolt rush" of a song.<ref>https://themusicuniverse.com/muse-announces-will-people/</ref> On Aleks Von Korff's Instagram story, when describing songs through emojis, he used the "devil horns" emoji for this song, hinting that Euphoria'd be a rock-oriented track.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/twez5r/aleks_von_korff_instagram_cluessong_hints/</ref> As described by Riff Magazine, "''“Euphoria” grows from a dance-rock tune into a fist-pumping classic rock chorus''".<ref>https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/muse-will-of-the-people/</ref> Gigwise compared Euphoria to songs like [[Bliss (song)|Bliss]], [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]] and [[Time Is Running Out (song)|Time Is Running Out]].<ref>https://www.gigwise.com/reviews/3425930/album-review-muse-will-of-the-people</ref> Fans also compared the song to [[Revolt (song)|Revolt]] and [[Get Up and Fight (song)|Get Up and Fight]].<br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
<br />
Running at 158BPM, Euphoria is a fast-paced song, which features arpeggiated synth lines during the verses, with a fast four-on-the-floor drum beat. It also includes a [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]] & [[Blockades (song)|Blockades]]-inspired guitar sound. The pre-choruses follow a very similar note progression as the pre-choruses in [[Time Is Running Out (song)|Time Is Running Out]]. The song ditches the electronics during the choruses, which feature just guitar, bass and drums, and have a pop punk tinge to them, akin to songs like [[Revolt (song)|Revolt]] and [[Get Up and Fight (song)|Get Up and Fight]], but also similar to songs like [[Time Is Running Out (song)|Time Is Running Out]].<br />
<br />
The song itself is also similar in structure and pace to [[Crying Shame (song)|Crying Shame]], with dancey verses and pop-punky choruses. The synths at the bridge are reminiscent to “I Feel Love” by Donna Summer.<br />

|Shut down<br />
We are growing spiritless<br />
If no one cares, then who is gonna save us?<br />

Worn out<br />
Everything will fall apart<br />
So shine a light and warm up this heavy heart<br />
Give us euphoria<br />

I want satisfaction<br />
A gut reaction<br />

Wake up<br />
We're becoming restless<br />
Our last hope and only you can save us<br />
Give us euphoria<br />
Sealed off to numb all the pain<br />
We are running out of air<br />
So start a fire and spice up this love affair<br />

<br />
==Description==<br />
A song that uses keyboards and synthesisers.<br />
<br />
==Additional information==<br />
<br />
Matt mentioned that when writing the song, they were trying to create something 'abstract', even though it has lyrical content, even though the lyrics are trying to create a form an abstract vibe that gives you the ability to go off the way of reality in your mind a little bit.<ref>Edge 103.9 Absolution Documentary</ref><br />
<br />
Described by [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] as a "basic love song. I think there is hope in there, even though I'm dealing with generally dark subjects".<br />
<br />
According to [[Dominic Howard|Howard]], Endlessly was originally more of a rock song than its final incarnation. It apparently had a bluesy riff.<ref>{{cite/laut20031002}}</ref><br />
<br />
Soprano singer Renee Fleming covered "Endlessly" on her 2010 album Dark Hope.<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
<br />
Endlessly was held back from being performed until the end of the September 2003 promotional tour and debuted at the first gig of the European tour in October. Surprisingly, Endlessly was performed at every single date in 2003 after its first performance with the sole exception being a promotional gig. Because of this, the majority of audio recordings available from 2003 include Endlessly. 2003 footage was particularly rare and pro-shots were even fewer, meaning very little footage of Endlessly is available. <br />

==Description==<br />
Lilting waltz. Blackout talks about life being too good to last. Matt stated that the song is from the point of view of someone facing their end, reviewing the positive points of their life.<ref>Absolution EPK</ref><br />
<br />
Matt: "This kind of song is trying to imagine what goes through your mind in the last few minutes of your life, trying to conjure up some uplifting thoughts about enjoying your life to the fullest in the time you did have".<ref>Edge 103.9 Absolution Documentary</ref><br />
<br />
==Additional information==<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] said that track talks about life being too short and commented: "I used a mandolin on Blackout. I think it was written with that in mind. I spent a fair bit of time in Italy last summer and I think that track was influenced by some of the sounds I heard there - a combination of some of the folk music and some opera. The mandolin is a very traditional instrument there and it seemed like the right thing to go on that song".<br />
<br />
He has cited the likes of [[Frank Sinatra]] as another influence for the song.<br />
<br />
When played live, the string section is played either by Chris, or by a chap named "Barry", as mentioned in this [http://www.virtualfestivals.com/artists/gigreviews/817 Virtual Festivals review] of the [[Bournemouth International Centre 2003 (gig)|Bournemouth 2003 gig]].<br />
<br />
When played live at [[London Wembley Stadium (venue)|Wembley Stadium]], the performance was accompanied by two acrobats suspended by Helium balloons (named heliospheres on the setlist) floating out above the standing audience, moving as the song was played.<br />
<br />
When played live at [[Rome Stadio Olimpico 2013 (gig)|Stadio Olimpico, Rome]], Matt sang "Ave Maria" during the end of the song.<br />
<br />
===Alternate versions===<br />
One remix, entitled The Awakening Mix, made by Mark "DJ Distomak" Newby was created. It is available in the [[Muselive.com]] Share Your Stuff forum. This mix features a sped up track with additional percussion taken from blink-182's "I Miss You".<br />
<br />
The orchestral part of the Absolution track was used as background music for the credits on the [[H.A.A.R.P. (live)|HAARP DVD]].<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
<br />
Blackout was played rather often in 2003, appearing at the majority of gigs though it was skipped at the occasional gig. Upon reaching 2004, however, it was performed only somewhat often throughout the January and February gigs. As a result, very few early 2004 Blackout recordings exist. It would go on to appear at none of the American gigs of April and May 2004, though Blackout would return for a handful of dates before officially returning to the main setlist starting with Glastonbury Festival 2004.<br />

<br />
== Description ==<br />
<br />
Another song where [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] is in character, dealing with his atheism. As the title suggests, it concerns the thoughts of a dying atheist, who is scared because he does not believe in heaven or hell or any postmortem plane of existence. Now, at the moment of his death, he must face the disheartening non existence he had come to believe in.<br />
<br />
The song also underlines Matthew's belief in real things who can not be seen, the rare feeling some people have as if (passed away) people are around them (and trying to talk to them) "I know you're in this room, I'm sure I heard you sigh" <br />
Does his early-ghost-talk-days come out in this song? <br />
<br />
Just before the bridge, at 2:04, [[Christopher Wolstenholme|Wolstenholme]] can be heard jumping into the pool at Grouse Lodge recording studio as Howard hits his cymbals.<ref name="sos200412">[[Rich Costey: Recording Muse's Absolution (200312 Sound on Sound article)|Sound on Sound 200412]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Matthew Bellamy's definition of Thoughts of a Dying Atheist==<br />
<br />
"Songs like Thoughts of a Dying Atheist, sing about the idea of trying to maintain an atheist belief whilst trying to deal with the idea of life after death at the same time, is a very difficult thing to do I think."<ref>Edge 103.9 Absolution Documentary</ref><br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
<br />
Though a very rare song live today, Thoughts of a Dying Atheist was performed rather often on the Absolution tour. 2003 in particular featured Thoughts of a Dying Atheist in the vast majority of setlists, only skipping promotional dates and no full gigs. Several pro-shots from 2003 exist as a result. Apart from the first gig of the year, Thoughts of a Dying Atheist was played at every non-promotional concert in January and February 2004, though it was dropped from setlists for March 2004. <br />
<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
Thoughts of a Dying Atheist was once a working title for [[Megalomania (song)|Megalomania]].<br />
<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
{{lyrics<br />
|Eerie whispers trapped beneath my pillow<br />
Won't let me sleep, your memories<br />
I know you're in this room, I'm sure I heard you sigh<br />
Floating in between where our worlds collide<br />
<br />
It scares the hell out of me<br />
And the end is all I can see<br />
And it scares the hell out of me<br />
And the end is all I can see<br />
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, whoa<br />
<br />
I know the moment's near<br />
And there's nothing we can do<br />
Look through a faithless eye<br />
Are you afraid to die?<br />
<br />
It scares the hell out of me<br />
And the end is all I can see<br />
And it scares the hell out of me<br />

<br />
Title track off of the [[Will of the People (album)|new album]]. The song's name has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info.<br />
<br />
This track has been teased by Muse through a couple of short clips, on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzHnwHzp9o4 YouTube] and [https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLgvvBqtzI/ Instagram], revealing the album's name. It appears to be written in the same swing rhytm as [[Uprising (song)|Uprising]] and [[Psycho (song)|Psycho]]. According to what is written by Warner's short album recap, Will of the People "''brings playful provocation to a dystopian glam-rocker''", further hinting at the song's potential glam-rock-type sound, akin to that of Uprising and Psycho.<ref>https://themusicuniverse.com/muse-announces-will-people/</ref><br />
<br />
The song is similar to the work of Green Day’s Uno, Dos and Tré era, bearing also some resemblance to Uprising and Psycho.<br />

First show of The Resistance era and first show of 2009. First of the two Den shows. The gig also doubled being a promo gig for The Resistance.<br />
<br />
== Information ==<br />
<br />
First rumoured in mid-July of 2009,<ref>http://www.musewiki.org/index.php?title=Template%3AGigs%2F2009&diff=47658&oldid=46737</ref> the South Devon newspaper ''Herald Express'' lent credence to the possibility of two early-September [[Teignmouth]] gigs on the 4{{supo|th}} of August. Permission was still being sought at that time, though anecdotes from locals suggested that the concerts were thought likely to go ahead.<ref>http://www.muselive.com/forums.php?m=posts&p=1613327#1613327</ref> Support was gauged by the council through sending letters regarding the concerts to locals, culminating with a meeting inside Teignbridge council offices at 10:00am on the 17{{supo|th}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/muse/statuses/3328794338</ref><br />
<br />
[[Christopher Wolstenholme|Chris Wolstenholme]] appealed for followers of [[musewire|Musewire]] to turn up to the offices in support of the gigs, and the council allowed the concerts to go ahead, under the condition that the sound level does not exceed 84.1 decibels.<br />
<br />
The concerts were announced on [[Official Muse website|the Muse website]] the following day, collectively dubbed "A Seaside Rendezvous", inspiration believed to be taken from [[Queen]]'s song of the same name. Ticket price is the same as that of the rest of [[The Resistance (album) | The Resistance]] tour, namely £37.50 without booking fee, through the Muse website, Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours/Seetickets and an unspecified Teignmouth booking office. A limited number of tickets will be sold with coach transport through Gigs and Tours, from the following cities: Birmingham, Bristol, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford and Southampton.<br />
<br />
It has been speculated that these twin gigs are what DJ [[Zane Lowe]] meant by his "surprise" in store for Muse fans.<ref>http://www.muselive.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=39534</ref> This seems to have been the case, as he announced on his Tuesday 18{{supo|th}} of August programme that he would be supporting Muse as a DJ and that a partial recording of the concerts — along with "Muse at 10" (a pun on "News at 10") — would be broadcast on his Monday 7{{supo|th}} of September programme. "Muse at 10" was a documentary celebrating the 10 years of Muse since the release of the [[Showbiz (album)|debut album ''Showbiz'']] was first released, on the 7{{supo|th}} of September 1999 in France. <br />
<br />
Multiple competitions for the event were held in various countries, including Austria<ref>http://muse.mu/news/article/463/austrian-muse-fans---win-teignmouth-tickets/</ref> and Switzerland<ref>http://muse.mu/news/article/465/swiss-muse-fans---win-teignmouth-tickets/</ref>. Competitions in Austria were held by FM4 and in Swizerland by 20 Minuten, 20 minutes, Couleur 3 and DRS 3, all local radios. A bid for eight pairs of tickets was held by The Helen Foundation, with the proceeds going towards charitable purposes.<ref>http://muse.mu/news/article/459/bid-for-signed-teignmouth-tickets-with-the-helen-foundation/</ref><br />
<br />
The gigs' technical preparations on site began on August 31{{supo|st}}. The stage was built on the south side of the Den and attendees viewed the concert from the north side of the field. The design of the stage is inspired in the 'Punch and Judy' stage, a traditional or folk puppet show from the seaside region that dates from Victorian times, in where a set of dolls perform several comic acts.<br />
<br />
<br />
The two gigs marked the first time Muse performed at their hometown of Teignmouth in 14 years. The last time that Muse played in there was [[Teignmouth Ivy House Hotel 1995-12 (gig) |in 1995]], during their early days.<br />
<br />
This gig marks the first performances of Uprising in it's extended version, Resistance, Popcorn, Undisclosed Desires and Unnatural Selection. It also marks the first performance of Cave, since the one at [[Tokyo Zepp 2001 - 28th (gig) | Tokyo Zepp]] in 2001. It was performed for the first time in the piano version.<br />
<br />
== Media ==<br />
<br />
BBC Radio 1 broadcast a partial recording of the ''Seaside Rendezvous'' concerts.<br />
<br />
The BBC broadcast can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhtDbmAKfks here].<br />
<br />
== Ticket sale ==<br />
<br />
The first [[Official Muse website | Muse]] pre-sale was from 9AM on the 19{{supo|th}} of August, 2009. This pre-sale was enforced by unique codes given to each member of the official Muse website. Only one order could be made and tickets were limited to four per order. This system prevented the vendors' websites from buckling and people were able to buy tickets for a long period after the pre-sale started. A second Muse pre-sale took place the following day, that time limited to members of the mailing list. General sale caused Seetickets outage, which was still the case at 09:33,<ref>https://www.seetickets.com/see/price.asp?code=417125</ref> but had ended by 09:37, the same day.<ref>https://www.seetickets.com/see/price.asp?code=417125</ref><br />
<br />
General sale sale started on the 21{{supo|st}} of August, 2009. <br />

Second of the two Den shows.<br />
<br />
== Information ==<br />
<br />
Together with gig one, this one was also rumoured in mid-July of 2009,<ref>http://www.musewiki.org/index.php?title=Template%3AGigs%2F2009&diff=47658&oldid=46737</ref> the South Devon newspaper ''Herald Express'' lent credence to the possibility of two early-September [[Teignmouth]] gigs on the 4{{supo|th}} of August. Permission was still being sought at that time, though anecdotes from locals suggested that the concerts were thought likely to go ahead.<ref>http://www.muselive.com/forums.php?m=posts&p=1613327#1613327</ref> Support was gauged by the council through sending letters regarding the concerts to locals, culminating with a meeting inside Teignbridge council offices at 10:00am on the 17{{supo|th}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/muse/statuses/3328794338</ref><br />
<br />
[[Christopher Wolstenholme|Chris Wolstenholme]] appealed for followers of [[musewire|Musewire]] to turn up to the offices in support of the gigs, and the council allowed the concerts to go ahead, under the condition that the sound level does not exceed 84.1 decibels.<br />
<br />
The concerts were announced on [[Official Muse website|the Muse website]] the following day, collectively dubbed "A Seaside Rendezvous", inspiration believed to be taken from [[Queen]]'s song of the same name. Ticket price is the same as that of the rest of [[The Resistance (album) | The Resistance]] tour, namely £37.50 without booking fee, through the Muse website, Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours/Seetickets and an unspecified Teignmouth booking office. A limited number of tickets will be sold with coach transport through Gigs and Tours, from the following cities: Birmingham, Bristol, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford and Southampton.<br />
<br />
It has been speculated that these twin gigs are what DJ [[Zane Lowe]] meant by his "surprise" in store for Muse fans.<ref>http://www.muselive.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=39534</ref> This seems to have been the case, as he announced on his Tuesday 18{{supo|th}} of August programme that he would be supporting Muse as a DJ and that a partial recording of the concerts — along with "Muse at 10" (a pun on "News at 10") — would be broadcast on his Monday 7{{supo|th}} of September programme. "Muse at 10" was a documentary celebrating the 10 years of Muse since the release of the [[Showbiz (album)|debut album ''Showbiz'']] was first released, on the 7{{supo|th}} of September 1999 in France. <br />
<br />
Multiple competitions for the event were held in various countries, including Austria<ref>http://muse.mu/news/article/463/austrian-muse-fans---win-teignmouth-tickets/</ref> and Switzerland<ref>http://muse.mu/news/article/465/swiss-muse-fans---win-teignmouth-tickets/</ref>. Competitions in Austria were held by FM4 and in Swizerland by 20 Minuten, 20 minutes, Couleur 3 and DRS 3, all local radios. A bid for eight pairs of tickets was held by The Helen Foundation, with the proceeds going towards charitable purposes.<ref>http://muse.mu/news/article/459/bid-for-signed-teignmouth-tickets-with-the-helen-foundation/</ref><br />
<br />
The gigs' technical preparations on site began on August 31{{supo|st}}. The stage was built on the south side of the Den and attendees viewed the concert from the north side of the field. The design of the stage is inspired in the 'Punch and Judy' stage, a traditional or folk puppet show from the seaside region that dates from Victorian times, in where a set of dolls perform several comic acts.<br />
<br />
The two gigs marked the first time Muse performed at their hometown of Teignmouth in 14 years. The last time that Muse played in there was [[Teignmouth Ivy House Hotel 1995-12 (gig) |in 1995]], during their early days.<br />
<br />
The setlist for the second gig was similar to the first one, with Feeling Good added and Stockolm Syndrome moved to the encore, before Plug In Baby. Bellamy had another go at Collateral Damage, but didn't pull it through.<br />
<br />
During the 1{{supo|st}} chorus of ''Uprising'', Bellamy mistakenly sang "They will not force us, they will ''not'' degrading us". During Popcorn, Matt accidentally played the ending notes a few bars earlier.<br />
<br />
== Media ==<br />
<br />
BBC Radio 1 broadcast a partial recording of the ''Seaside Rendezvous'' concerts.<br />
<br />
The full gig, including broadcast songs can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7X1l4g5VZY here]. The BBC broadcast can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhtDbmAKfks here]. <br />
<br />
== Ticket sale ==<br />
<br />
The first [[Official Muse website | Muse]] pre-sale was from 9AM on the 19{{supo|th}} of August, 2009. This pre-sale was enforced by unique codes given to each member of the official Muse website. Only one order could be made and tickets were limited to four per order. This system prevented the vendors' websites from buckling and people were able to buy tickets for a long period after the pre-sale started. A second Muse pre-sale took place the following day, that time limited to members of the mailing list. General sale caused Seetickets outage, which was still the case at 09:33,<ref>https://www.seetickets.com/see/price.asp?code=417125</ref> but had ended by 09:37, the same day.<ref>https://www.seetickets.com/see/price.asp?code=417125</ref><br />
<br />
General sale sale started on the 21{{supo|st}} of August, 2009. <br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
On December 25th, 2021, Bellamy made a short livestream from his Tesla on Muse's Instagram profile, showcasing part of the verse of this song, the chorus and a metalcore breakdown. The name of the track, shown on the car's dashboard screen, displayed a number prefix of "04", meaning it's likely the fourth track on the album. The one minute excerpt from Bellamy's stream can be listened to [https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/romrcw/full_60_second_preview_of_new_song_wont_stand/ here].<br />
<br />
The nearing release of the song was teased once again on Muse's New Years Eve post on Instagram, when a caption saying "Looking forward to WSD. We'll see you on the other side!" was quickly changed upon posting, replacing "WSD" with "2022", before being announced a week later, on January 7th, 2021, that the song/single would be released on January 13th on all digital platforms. The song can be pre-saved to Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/ here].<br />
<br />
== Additional information ==<br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
<br />
A heavy song, the chorus is very reminiscent to the chorus of Lacrimosa's song 'Lichtgestalt', due the strings and its gothic-metal sound, and the Swedish band 'Ghost'<br />
<br />
For what it can be heard on the tease, it seems like one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest one, song that Muse have ever done (at least that section). It includes a heavy distorted guitar breakdown, something that rarely occurs through Muse's discography as well as Dom using a double kick drum pedal for the first time. This could mean a return to a harder sound from the band, at least in this song, also including some electronic elements like those that can also be heard in the fragment.<br />
