== Description ==


Announced on March 11th, 2022, their second song off to be released and to be featured on [[Will of the People (album)|Will of the People]], Compliance, is set to be released on March 17th, 2022.<ref>https://twitter.com/muse/status/1502298309368631296</ref> The song, and its music video, leaked two days earlier, on March 15th, 2022, through Vimeo.<ref>https://vimeo.com/688432698</ref>


== Additional information ==


According to Matt Bellamy, "''Compliance is about the promise of safety and reassurance sold to us by powerful entities during times of vulnerability. Gangs, governments, demagogues, social media algorithms & religions seduce us with misleading untruths and comforting fables. They want us to join their narrow worldview in exchange for obedience and turning a blind eye to our own internal voice of reason & compassion. They just need our Compliance.''"<ref>https://twitter.com/muse/status/1502298309368631296</ref>


The song is mostly reminiscent of elements from 80s and 90s pop and synthpop, while bringing in some elements of big beat. The the guitar lick during the verses, and the synth solo line are reminiscent to the Knight Rider theme song.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWDZsKSGoVg</ref>

There are two versions of the song; The shorter edit of the song (which was leaked as it's on the music video) misses the post-solo "ooh" falsetto part.
== Analysis and Explanation ==
Despite being a fairly successful single, Neutron Star Collision has rarely been played live. The song made its live debut in May 2010 and made regular appearances until the end of June, and following two further appearances in September it was dropped from the setlists. The piano outro heard after the final chorus on the studio version is skipped live.


== Instrumentation ==
It made a surprise return in September 2013 for just one gig in Nashville, Tennessee. Before playing the song, Matt stated that it had never been played in America before, while it had in fact in its ninth performance. It's made no appearances since and it seems pretty unlikely that it will appear again. But interestingly, it was an option at the [[London Shepherds Bush_Empire 2017 (gig)|2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire]] by request gig, indicating the band haven't given up on the song yet.


Compliance is based around organic elements, with a simple drum part, almost sounding like its looped, and a distinctive bass line riding throughout the entire song. The song doesn't appear to include a lot of guitar, apart from the palm-muted "Knight Rider" one in the verses and the final chorus, and the heavily-synthisized guitar during the solo. It also seems to include a keytar during the solo and the final chorus. The lead synth during the chorus was inspired by Van Halen's Jump, as it (the Jump synth) was heard in an Instagram video, posted by [[Aleks Von Korff]] in Muse's studio back in 2021.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CK7TfsWhZl-/</ref> The song runs at a tempo of 110BPM.

During the solo, Bellamy can faintly be heard beatboxing, giving the already distorted drums during that part a turntable-ish effect. All the choirs in the choruses are sung through vocoder. The vocoder sound is provided by an analog Moog 16 Channel Vocoder.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQg2usA_co/</ref>

We just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
And no more defiance

Just give us your compliance
We won’t let you feel lost anymore
No more self-reliance
 
Fall into line, you will do as you’re told
No choice fatigue, your blood is running cold
We lose control, the world will fall apart
Love of your life, will mend your broken heart
 
Life lived in fear, you need protection,
You’re all alone, too much rejection,
We have what you need, just reach out and serve
We can save you (Save you)
