They said this album was inspired by Skrillex. They've released the full song that made up the trailer for the 2nd law.

It's appalling...

I like it, and can just imagine Bellamy bringing all those effects to a live show......let's face it, anything had to be an improvement over their last effort

Jesus thats awful.

Bellamy is so much better than that.

On a slightly related note whats the deal with this skillrex bloke ? He looks like some sort of emo geek that found an 80s sound effect machine in his parents garage. I don't get it..

[Hub]

Quite like that. I'd rather they try different things than go further down the Queen pastiche road!

[Crafty_]

Never understood the queen comparison personally, people have been saying that since they appeared but I hear no queen influence in the first four albums. The thing they did for the olympics maybe, but thats what ? 10 years since the queen influence started being mentioned.

[Hoofy]

It's ok apart from the dubstep ste.

[Use Psychology]

also the central premise of the song is wrong.

I was thinking that.

Probably the best Dubstep track I've ever heard. Usually I hate the stuff.

In fact, this is f*cking quality. Nice to hear something a bit different; such an amalgamation of styles, and very well done. It's always nice to see a band challenge (and potentially polarise) their own fanbase.

The word you're looking for is "faggot."

I have to say their last album sounded heavily influenced by Queen. This sounds interesting, I can't see it being representative of he album though..... Unless Bellamy is handing singing duties over to a 1980s Cylon.

I agree completely, been listening to it over and over and it is, indeed, a bit of class.

Radiohead tribute band, not Queen.

[Crafty_]

thats even more bonkers, how the feck is something like the absolution album a nod to radiohead ?

[Marf]

The first thing I said to the person who first played me a muse track(citizen erased) was "doesn't he(matt) sound like thom yorke?". I guess that's where people draw a similarity.

[Use Psychology]

muse's first album (also their best) was very like radiohead at the time.

I was only talking about the last album (and the Olympics piss take track).

[Stedman]

Well when I heard my first Muse song I thought "great... new Radiohead album on the way."
Mad guitar effects & especially vocals sound extremely similar, even down to the dramatic gasping between words.

If you listen to Nude by Radiohead, whilst looking at a picture of Herbert The Pervert from Family Guy, it can be quite an amusing experience. In fact, it appears somebody has gone to the trouble of making a video, which saves me the trouble of doing it:
