![]() ![]() Take A Bow is overly constructed, the synths are everywhere but the song has no beat and never seems to take flight until the end, with a disappointing climax and Bellamy whining about how politicians suck and will burn in hell for their sins. ![]() However, some songs are just way over-the-top synth proggy goodness that would make Dream Theater proud. This is the way Muse should do it: use the keyboards and all the other gadgets at their disposal to make a song. Starlight begins with a cute drum intro, but the piano entering just after propels the song to great heights, with a chorus with some nice power chords for the catchy factor. Map of the Problematique is the premier example of this, with a gorgeous keyboard intro later descending into madness, accompanied by some nicely bleak lyrics to top it all off. However, given the fact that Absolution already was like a grade 3 kid's art project (too many components held together by too much glue about to fall apart), it's even more amazing that to a degree this one actually worked out!Ĭontrary to Absolution, the techno beats here work very well. Guess what? Muse gave a big middle finger to all those people that hated Absolution for being masturbation and tried even harder to be incomprehensible on their next album. The trio was musically more gifted than most of their compadres, sadly as always this made Absolution an overindulgent slab of electronically influenced rock, and it was up to Muse to tone that down on their next album and make an album that floated among all the synth and keyboard madness going on. After the in my opinion slightly lacklustre Absolution this band had nowhere to go up. ![]()
