==Information==<br />
This song came from a practice session at Matthew Bellamy's house early in Muse's existence as a band,<ref name="riu20071203">{{cite/ripitup20071203}}</ref> with the guitar part coming before the bass line and percussion, respectively.<ref name="riu20071203"/> Its first recorded release was on the Muscle Museum EP, where it came in two versions. One is close to the later incarnation on Showbiz, and one is a short acoustic with rain effects. The full length version on the single is the two combined, with the latter used as an introduction to the former.<br />
The EP version also differs from the Showbiz version as having a different bassdrum figure in the verses and the pre-chorus parts. <br />
<br />
Matthew said that the song it's "About how people don't really face up to their inner emotions a lot of the time and they just get on with their mundane life" and that also the song was "about the conflict between the body and the soul or mind. It's how sometimes one element of your being will not allow something to happen. For example, say your body wants to have sex with a girl but your mind reminds you that you have a girlfriend. It's that inner conflict." - the Freudian idea of inner conflict between want and conscience. He also stated in the same interview that the meaning somehow involved people in the future no longer having bodies. This idea came from a book that he had read about cyber-culture.<ref name="MuseChannelVmarch2000"><br />

You can hear Matt talking about his hometown in “Muscle Museum”, where [[Teignmouth]] still wanted to convince Muse they were doing wrong (to prove I’ve made a big mistake).<ref><br />

Matt actually sings the "guitar" solo. "I wanted to do this big epic guitar solo at the end of the chorus and as soon as I started doing the solo, I missed a chord. So I suddenly found myself singing the guitar solo instead. I ended up singing it into a Marshall amp and it sounded exactly like guitar."<ref>Guitarist Magazine - I just wanted to excite people.

==Live==<br />
Muscle Museum was played at most concerts from its release until the 2006 tour, during which it wasn't played until the concert at [[Cleveland Agora Theatre 2006 (gig)|Agora Theatre on September 10th]]. The song is played twice in 2007, the last one being [[Moscow Luzhniki Palace of Sports 2007 (gig)|Moscow on October 15th]].<br />
<br />
As of January 2010, Howard revealed on TripleJ radio, Australia, he'd like to play the song live again, however, due to Bellamy losing the required (rare) effects pedal for part of the song, it's been left out of rotation so far. In September 2012, being asked whether they will play any ''Showbiz'' songs on ''[[The 2nd Law (album)|The 2nd Law]]'' tour, a member of Muse tweeted that "I'm routing for Muscle Museum to come back".<ref>https://twitter.com/muse/status/251030197170737152</ref><br />
<br />
The song was printed on the setlist for the Lollapalooza Brazil gig in 2014 but was not played. Yes Please was performed instead.<br />
<br />
The song made its comeback during the 2015's [[Psycho UK Tour]] in [[Exeter Great Hall 2015 (gig)|Exeter]] on March 20th.<br />

<div>How about me? I think I've done quite a bit ... -[[User:Tene|Tene]]<br />
<br />
And if you can call my total blitzing of the discography with wonderful Musey treasures and pics from around the world helping out... :D [[User:۞|۞]] 17:21, 24 September 2006 (BST)<br />
:Star shape weirdo here has my backing, if that counts for anything. ;) --[[User:Tene|Tene]] 18:01, 24 September 2006 (BST)<br />
::There we go :D welcome to the team :D --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] 20:48, 24 September 2006 (BST)<br />
:::Muchly appreciated :) [[User:۞|۞]] 16:25, 27 September 2006 (BST)<br />
How about me? (if spontaneous renovation counts as helping a lot) [[User:7|7]] 20:06, 13 January 2008 (GMT)<br />
:Read below, though I'm considering making you a sysop, just give it time --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] 11:36, 19 February 2008 (GMT)<br />
<br />
<br />
==New members==<br />
I don't know where to post this, this might look pretentious or whatever but anyway, '''thanks a lot''' crazybobbles. Glad to belong to the team :) --[[User:Susurr0|Susurr0]] 12:37, 19 February 2008 (GMT)<br />
:Indeed, many thanks! [[User:۞|۞]] 18:44, 19 February 2008 (GMT)<br />
<br />
==Inactivity==<br />
Almost half of those listed here aren't active, and haven't been for some time. I suggest some sort of seperate inactive/hiatus list for those whom are not active. That's basically all apart from ۞, Crazybobbles, Mrmadadam and myself. --[[User:Tene|Tene]] 18:38, 13 April 2007 (BST)<br />
:Yup, perhaps a special mention for those who helped set up he place to begin with, while it was secret. [[User:۞|۞]] 00:16, 14 April 2007 (BST)<br />
<br />
==Should we bother having this?==<br />
Perhaps a quick template showing you're awesome on your profile would suffice, but it's not like anyone reads this bit haha and it kinda confuses the wiki vibe, I think anyone who's contributed should simply be given a sysop status for being responsible enough --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] 11:36, 19 February 2008 (GMT)<br />
:With all due respect to those who you deem responsible, the idea more adminships for more potentially "corruptable" people would be, I think, dangerous. Especially with such a small wiki, we now have three-four active admins. There's simply no point in giving more people the ability to screw everything up for whatever reason; bitterness, disagreement, etc.<br />
:This is a "ceremonial" title that might motivate people. Plus it's a way of saying "thanks", but if adminship is given as an incentive to contribute, then the wrong people will end up with sysop status.<br />
:..and to 'bobbles: Good choice of admins, btw --[[User:Tene|Tene]] 18:08, 19 February 2008 (GMT)<br />
:: I wouldn't start adding any tom dick or harry as sysops, it's for those I feel would actually be able to utilise the status to improve the wiki. Of course any form of screwing up can all be reversible and the offending person can be banned immediately ;) I suppose keeping this here can have it's uses for saying thank you for their hardwork (and we like thanking people :)) I guess it's best for my to rewrite it so it actually says something about it then --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] 21:09, 5 March 2008 (GMT)<br />
<br />
== Wow. ==<br />
<br />
I know I'm relatively new to Musewiki, but I'm pretty sure that this page is severely outdated. [[User:Regret Tenenbaum|Regret Tenenbaum]] 21:05, 15 March 2008 (GMT)<br />
:Why? Feel free to nominate those who have contributed in the order of that which those who are already listed have done.... --[[User:Tene|Tene]] 06:00, 16 March 2008 (GMT)<br />
<br />
== Okay so basically we have no mods ==<br />

::::::::: Did you even read the part that said "Many potential editors have to wait months on end to have their accounts approved to edit, by that point many have already lost interest"? The manual registration made sense when the site was being spam botted, sure. But it's been fucking years. How do we even know they're still there? How will we ever know if we lock ourselves off? It's a terrible idea as of now. If they start invading again, close the registration again if you don't want to trust anyone to be a moderator, I don't care. But if you never even try, you're throwing out a lot of potential editors who would ''love'' to help out. All I'm saying is, give it a shot. Try opening it up, and see if we get spammed again. If we do, it's 100% reversible, and you can just close it back up like I said. Besides, moderators have other purposes. They could delete [http://www.musewiki.org/Category:Deletion_requests all of these that never got actually deleted for no reason.] They could update the protected pages that ''we'' can't. Assuming they could have the power (idk how wiki admins work), they could fix bugs in the site (like [https://imgur.com/a/vI279Yy some pages having no CSS], or the [[ User_talk:Crazybobbles#updating_existing_images_-_problem_saying_im_logged_out.3F.21 | problem with file pages]]), they could help with the manual creation process if you're in deep romantic love with that system, and they could even develop the site for you (adding new features, updating the CSS, all that stuff). It's 2018, crazybobbles.<br />
<br />
:::::::::: Is there any reason to still have any protected pages? Otherwise we would only need a mod to approve registration.

==Should we bother having this?==<br />
Perhaps a quick template showing you're awesome on your profile would suffice, but it's not like anyone reads this bit haha and it kinda confuses the wiki vibe, I think anyone who's contributed should simply be given a sysop status for being responsible enough --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] 11:36, 19 February 2008 (GMT)<br />
:With all due respect to those who you deem responsible, the idea more adminships for more potentially "corruptable" people would be, I think, dangerous.

There's simply no point in giving more people the ability to screw everything up for whatever reason; bitterness, disagreement, etc.<br />
:This is a "ceremonial" title that might motivate people. Plus it's a way of saying "thanks", but if adminship is given as an incentive to contribute, then the wrong people will end up with sysop status.<br />

Regardless, open registration should be brought back along with moderators to have more activity on site. --[[User:Ncla|Ncla]] ([[User talk:Ncla|talk]]) 21:50, 15 October 2018 (BST)<br />
<br />
::::: Open administration is necessary for a thriving site. Many potential editors have to wait months on end to have their accounts approved to edit, by that point many have already lost interest. I believe it was mostly a result of a surge in anonymous spambots that created thousands of pornographic/vandalism articles, many of which were never truly deleted and can still be accessed (something I've wanted taken care of for many years now). My non-editing protest has been active since September and I intend to (mostly) keep it that way. Worst case scenario, a website clone wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea in my eyes if it means the site can be kept updated and given an opportunity to be expanded on in ways this outdated system cannot be expanded.

<br />
==Inactivity==<br />
Almost half of those listed here aren't active, and haven't been for some time. I suggest some sort of seperate inactive/hiatus list for those whom are not active. That's basically all apart from ۞, Crazybobbles, Mrmadadam and myself. --[[User:Tene|Tene]] 18:38, 13 April 2007 (BST)<br />
:Yup, perhaps a special mention for those who helped set up he place to begin with, while it was secret. [[User:۞|۞]] 00:16, 14 April 2007 (BST)<br />
<br />
==Should we bother having this?==<br />
Perhaps a quick template showing you're awesome on your profile would suffice, but it's not like anyone reads this bit haha and it kinda confuses the wiki vibe, I think anyone who's contributed should simply be given a sysop status for being responsible enough --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] 11:36, 19 February 2008 (GMT)<br />
:With all due respect to those who you deem responsible, the idea more adminships for more potentially "corruptable" people would be, I think, dangerous. Especially with such a small wiki, we now have three-four active admins. There's simply no point in giving more people the ability to screw everything up for whatever reason; bitterness, disagreement, etc.<br />
:This is a "ceremonial" title that might motivate people. Plus it's a way of saying "thanks", but if adminship is given as an incentive to contribute, then the wrong people will end up with sysop status.<br />
:..and to 'bobbles: Good choice of admins, btw --[[User:Tene|Tene]] 18:08, 19 February 2008 (GMT)<br />
:: I wouldn't start adding any tom dick or harry as sysops, it's for those I feel would actually be able to utilise the status to improve the wiki. Of course any form of screwing up can all be reversible and the offending person can be banned immediately ;) I suppose keeping this here can have it's uses for saying thank you for their hardwork (and we like thanking people :)) I guess it's best for my to rewrite it so it actually says something about it then --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] 21:09, 5 March 2008 (GMT)<br />

<br />
I know I'm relatively new to Musewiki, but I'm pretty sure that this page is severely outdated. [[User:Regret Tenenbaum|Regret Tenenbaum]] 21:05, 15 March 2008 (GMT)<br />

<br />
Tene hasn't contributed since 2012<br />
<br />
۞ hasn't contributed since 2010<br />
<br />
The rest are obviously inactive<br />
<br />
<br />
[http://www.musewiki.org/Special:ListUsers?&group=sysop Some of these people listed aren't even mods]<br />
<br />
Some people who ''are'' mods aren't listed on this page (and EVEN '''THEN,''' '''''ALL OF THOSE UNLISTED PEOPLE ARE DEAD TOO''''')<br />
<br />
Does this mean there's literally no mods besides crazybobbles (who even then isn't super active, but at the very least alive)?<br />

: Yes --[[User:Ncla|Ncla]] ([[User talk:Ncla|talk]]) 11:31, 15 October 2018 (BST)<br />
<br />
::Aside from Crazybobbles, no admin has contributed to this site in any way whatsoever since before the release of Drones. To add onto this, after adding over 3500 edits over the course of the five-ish years I've been here, in addition to monitoring the site daily and discovering over 150 unknown setlists and creating the single largest site-wide expansion in years, I requested administrator permissions and I was denied. There is unlikely to be any change in this any time soon. <br />
<br />
::Only once during my duration here has someone been promoted, and that person became inactive only a matter of months later and has never been heard from since. I'll admit that it made me reconsider the work I put into here, and after my request was turned down in early September, I've effectively quit this site. I can only do so much and put in so much time. [[User:GameGear360|GameGear360]] ([[User talk:GameGear360|talk]]) 20:50, 15 October 2018 (BST)<br />

Perhaps a quick template showing you're awesome on your profile would suffice, but it's not like anyone reads this bit haha and it kinda confuses the wiki vibe, I think anyone who's contributed should simply be given a sysop status for being responsible enough --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] 11:36, 19 February 2008 (GMT)<br />
:With all due respect to those who you deem responsible, the idea more adminships for more potentially "corruptable" people would be, I think, dangerous. Especially with such a small wiki, we now have three-four active admins. There's simply no point in giving more people the ability to screw everything up for whatever reason; bitterness, disagreement, etc.<br />
:This is a "ceremonial" title that might motivate people. Plus it's a way of saying "thanks", but if adminship is given as an incentive to contribute, then the wrong people will end up with sysop status.<br />
:..and to 'bobbles: Good choice of admins, btw --[[User:Tene|Tene]] 18:08, 19 February 2008 (GMT)<br />
:: I wouldn't start adding any tom dick or harry as sysops, it's for those I feel would actually be able to utilise the status to improve the wiki. Of course any form of screwing up can all be reversible and the offending person can be banned immediately ;) I suppose keeping this here can have it's uses for saying thank you for their hardwork (and we like thanking people :)) I guess it's best for my to rewrite it so it actually says something about it then --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] 21:09, 5 March 2008 (GMT)<br />

Some people who ''are'' mods aren't listed on this page (and EVEN '''THEN,''' '''''ALL OF THOSE UNLISTED PEOPLE ARE DEAD TOO''''')<br />

Does this mean there's literally no mods besides crazybobbles (who even then isn't super active, but at the very least alive)?<br />

There has been a ridiculous amount of spamming lately again (new users creating user pages with spam text). Obviously your captcha system is still not fixed. Please do something about it, or give some of the more active users admin rights so they can fight the spam; it can't get really worse, can it? (All I can do is empty the user pages and mark them to be deleted, which actually surprises me a bit... why can I edit other users' pages? Can they do it with my page as well?)

Here's a little heads-up that there's a bunch of spammers vandalizing the wiki again. Your captcha system doesn't seem to work, and there is '''not a single active user''' that has rights to delete pages. Draw your own conclusions. But this is definitely the last time I cleaned up after the spammers without being able to delete their crap right away. It's really frustrating.

== Gallery ==<br />

Hey, just wondering what your opinion is on having a sort of "Gallery" section of the site for live videos. I've been thinking about this a lot lately and I think it could be really useful. In a summary, my idea is that like the tablature page, Musers will be able to select from a list of songs and then be brought to a page filled with live performances of the song, organized by year. I think it would be big work for some of the more commonly-played songs (PiB, TIRO, New Born) but could be quite valuable to the site. Plus it could help preserve some rare live videos the same way MicroCuts.net used to. Thanks and have a great day.

Hi<br />
<br />
Is there a problem with cookies on musewiki atm? in particular the images section.<br />
<br />
I can sign in and all the pages i have tried accessing show me as signed in. However, when i try looking at an existing image to try and update a newer version, it shows me as being logged out?!?! weird. i then go to the login option to sign in and then i get an error message stating:<br />
<br />
"Login error<br />

<br />
I can only view the source, not edit an image or replace an existing image.<br />
<br />
i have disabled adblocking settings, including those for obrusive blocking, cleared down my cookies and cache. any other 'users' or 'autoconfirmed users' getting this problem?<br />

: Well, this hurts me dearly. It really was hard to describe the emotions this invokes in me in a proper manner. There are lots of words to specifically describe emotions, but I couldn't think of any to definitely fit this emotion. Not anger, not sadness, not fear. So I looked around. I searched the deepest corners of the internet. I looked through pages and pages of the dictionary. Eventually, I was able to find one thing that fit my feelings in a subtle way. It's a kind of simple word, comprised of two letters, one appearing twice. When I saw this word, I basically was in shock. Not only that I hadn't heard of this word before, but that it fit my emotions perfectly, which is quite significant. And you know what that word was?

== Live section ==<br />

Hey, I could use some feedback regarding the Live section I've been working on. I asked around a while back and the users here all thought the concept of a live section was worth having, so about a year ago I started working on it, and it's now 55% complete with 75 songs finished. It's taken a lot of time and dedication but the results have been promising so far. I deliberately haven't shared the links on any site because I don't necessarily want people to see the incomplete project before it is ready for release, but I would enjoy hearing your feedback. It can be found [[:Category:Uno Live Database|here for now]] if you're interested in checking out the work that's been completed already. If you have any suggestions, comments, criticism, I'd love to hear it. Thanks, [[User:GameGear360|GameGear360]] ([[User talk:GameGear360|talk]]) 16:35, 7 July 2017 (BST)<br />

Looks good! Not too sure about the longevity and upkeep of dailymotion / youtube videos... that's my main concern but definitely happy with what's worked on so far! --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] ([[User talk:Crazybobbles|talk]]) 10:43, 16 August 2017 (BST)<br />
<br />
:Thanks very much for your feedback! It's been a few months since any staff posted anything here. The goal was to back the videos up on the Internet Archive to have them kept permanently but only a few of them have made their way there. Dailymotion is the best platform we've found because it rejects about 2% of uploads from what I've found. On all the complete pages, all of the links in yellow are videos that were taken down by Dailymotion and reuploaded to Vimeo. Vimeo takes down nothing at all and every video uploaded is still there, but you have to pay to upload more than a handful of videos per week. Youtube removes about 20% of all uploaded content and they will delete channels at will, so we've avoided that platform so far with the exception of a small handful of videos. I appreciate the feedback!

I deliberately haven't shared the links on any site because I don't necessarily want people to see the incomplete project before it is ready for release, but I would enjoy hearing your feedback. It can be found [[:Category:Uno Live Database|here for now]] if you're interested in checking out the work that's been completed already. If you have any suggestions, comments, criticism, I'd love to hear it. Thanks, [[User:GameGear360|GameGear360]] ([[User talk:GameGear360|talk]]) 16:35, 7 July 2017 (BST)<br />

Looks good! Not too sure about the longevity and upkeep of dailymotion / youtube videos... that's my main concern but definitely happy with what's worked on so far! --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] ([[User talk:Crazybobbles|talk]]) 10:43, 16 August 2017 (BST)<br />
<br />
:Thanks very much for your feedback! It's been a few months since any staff posted anything here. The goal was to back the videos up on the Internet Archive to have them kept permanently but only a few of them have made their way there. Dailymotion is the best platform we've found because it rejects about 2% of uploads from what I've found. On all the complete pages, all of the links in yellow are videos that were taken down by Dailymotion and reuploaded to Vimeo. Vimeo takes down nothing at all and every video uploaded is still there, but you have to pay to upload more than a handful of videos per week. Youtube removes about 20% of all uploaded content and they will delete channels at will, so we've avoided that platform so far with the exception of a small handful of videos. I appreciate the feedback!

<br />
Oh Hi Crazybobbles! I have a problem... When I try to upload a file, I keep getting the same message: "Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/archive".", my question is "why?"... also, on the Gigs section, on the "quick links" box, when I press "2016" it doesn't re directs me to the 2016 gigs... It gets stuck on the same 2015 gigs section! and that's all... Goodnight![[User:Nepomuse|Nepomuse]] ([[User talk:Nepomuse|talk]]) 00:44, 12 December 2015 (UTC−06:00)<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
there seems to be a fair bit of spam going on with random users being created here over the past few weeks. Cheers (Darkshined).<br />
:Hmm, strangely no malicious spam links due to another plugin stopping them, sad they cracked my simple Captcha, need to figure the best way to combat it.<br />

== Spammers ==<br />
<br />
Hi, there is quite a bit of spam posted here recently, especially on user pages. No admins seem to be active who are able to delete such pages. It would be great if there was at least one active admin, or if I or someone else of the more active users could be given the right to delete pages. (I'm also sending this to [[User:Tene|Tene]].) [[User:Time Q|Time Q]] ([[User talk:Time Q|talk]]) 11:37, 20 May 2013 (BST)<br />
:Hmmm, sad news because I thought my captcha was spotless! No idea how they could answer that question. I'll see if I can change the questions up a bit, if the folks stop then we're good, if not, it looks like the captcha system is compromised --[[User:Crazybobbles|crazybobbles]] ([[User talk:Crazybobbles|talk]]) 13:25, 26 May 2013 (BST)<br />

== Spammers, again ==<br />
<br />
There has been a ridiculous amount of spamming lately again (new users creating user pages with spam text). Obviously your captcha system is still not fixed. Please do something about it, or give some of the more active users admin rights so they can fight the spam; it can't get really worse, can it? (All I can do is empty the user pages and mark them to be deleted, which actually surprises me a bit... why can I edit other users' pages? Can they do it with my page as well?) [[User:Time Q|Time Q]] ([[User talk:Time Q|talk]]) 23:30, 27 August 2013 (BST)<br />
:Hngh, i blocked most of the but they're back... it was such an amazing captcha job too.<br />
<br />
== Spammers. AGAIN. ==<br />
<br />
Here's a little heads-up that there's a bunch of spammers vandalizing the wiki again. Your captcha system doesn't seem to work, and there is '''not a single active user''' that has rights to delete pages. Draw your own conclusions. But this is definitely the last time I cleaned up after the spammers without being able to delete their crap right away. It's really frustrating.

== Gallery ==<br />
<br />
Hey, just wondering what your opinion is on having a sort of "Gallery" section of the site for live videos. I've been thinking about this a lot lately and I think it could be really useful. In a summary, my idea is that like the tablature page, Musers will be able to select from a list of songs and then be brought to a page filled with live performances of the song, organized by year. I think it would be big work for some of the more commonly-played songs (PiB, TIRO, New Born) but could be quite valuable to the site. Plus it could help preserve some rare live videos the same way MicroCuts.net used to. Thanks and have a great day.

Oh Great and Wise all-knowing Crazybobbles! I need your help........ There are two pages about the new Muse album... I don't know how to delete pages... and I don't know what to do with the old page and I don't even know (But many confirm/say this) that the new album is called 'Drones' (cos even if Muse wrote it in an Hashtag..

== updating existing images - problem saying im logged out?! ==<br />
<br />
Hi<br />
<br />
Is there a problem with cookies on musewiki atm? in particular the images section.<br />
<br />
I can sign in and all the pages i have tried accessing show me as signed in. However, when i try looking at an existing image to try and update a newer version, it shows me as being logged out?!?! weird. i then go to the login option to sign in and then i get an error message stating:<br />
<br />
"Login error<br />
MuseWiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again."<br />
<br />
I can only view the source, not edit an image or replace an existing image.<br />
<br />
i have disabled adblocking settings, including those for obrusive blocking, cleared down my cookies and cache. any other 'users' or 'autoconfirmed users' getting this problem?<br />
<br />
yet when i go back to the homepage or other non photo based links it shows me as being signed in!!<br />
<br />
--[[User:Darkshined|Darkshined]] ([[User talk:Darkshined|talk]])<br />

What do you mean by "Muse servers"? Are you implying they are hosted on Muse sponsored servers? Also, this site needs serious updating, starting with up-to-date Mediawiki version, HTTPS and freely allowing for users to create accounts. --[[User:Ncla|Ncla]] ([[User talk:Ncla|talk]]) 21:25, 7 February 2018 (GMT)<br />

This has been confirmed as a fraudulent item by Dennis Smith, at Sawmills Residential Recording. This 7" version has the same bar code as the CD version, further indicating this.<br />

In January 2009 an unofficial demo tape featuring the four tracks on the EP was listed on eBay. The version of [[Escape (song) | ''Escape Your Meaningless]]'' on the cassette differs somewhat to that on the released EP, although the rest of the tracks are similar.<ref name="ebay20090128"/> This may indicate that the tracks on the cassette are unmastered versions of those appearing on the later ''Muse'' EP. The cassette was copied from the studio by [[Matthew Bellamy]] for the seller, who attended Coombeshead College with him.<ref name="ebay20090128"/><br />

Revolt was released as the fourth single off of Drones (counting the Psycho/Dead Inside release) and launched with an Apple-exclusive music video. The song, however, charted terribly as a single, only charting in Belgium, becoming the lowest charting single since [[Big Freeze (single) | Big Freeze]] in 2013 (which was only released in France).<br />

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

<br />
While this song was written on piano by [[Matthew Bellamy]], it was recorded on both guitar and synths. Matt then mixed both of the sounds together. The main riff was inspired by [[System of a Down]].<ref>Total Guitar - Matt Bellamy tells us the amazing story behind Absolution. September/2003]</ref> Standard set closer throughout the Absolution tour and sometimes during the Black Holes and Revelations tour. Usually multiple riffs are played after the song. An example of this is the L.A Staples Centre Gig in which more than eight riffs were played after Stockholm Syndrome.<br />
<br />
[[Dominic Howard|Dom]] explains that: 'Stockholm Syndrome', concerns a medical complaint whereby someone falls in love with the person that has kidnapped them; "In 1973 some bank robbers went to rob a bank and ended up taking six people hostage and it went on Tv, But the hostages ended up defending the captives in cout and one of the hostages got married to one of the captors"<ref name="NME20130913"><br />

<br />
== Additional information ==<br />
The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage from August 23 to August 28, 1973. In this case, the victims became emotionally attached to, and even defended, their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal. The term was coined by the criminologist and psychologist Nils Bejerot, who assisted the police during the robbery, and referred to the syndrome in a news broadcast. The majority of the hostages were okay, but one of them committed suicide and another changed his name to that of one of his captors and disappeared.<br />
<br />
This song was first written by Matt on the piano, before being played on the guitar.<br />
<br />
The song was added to [[Guitar Hero 3]] on 8th May 2008 along with [[Supermassive Black Hole (song) | Supermassive Black Hole]] and [[Exo-Politics (song) | Exo-Politics]] as part of a Muse track pack.<br />
<br />
A cover of this song is featured on [[the String Quartet Tribute]] to Muse.<br />
<br />
Mike Portnoy of [[Dream Theater]] covered the intro on his drumming focused ‘‘In Constant Motion‘‘ DVD {{YT |XccQ7AYFRWM}}<br />

<flashmp3>http://www.musewiki.org/images/Inverted_Stockholm_Syndrome_Refrain.mp3|rightbg=0xDDEEFF|leftbg=0xDDEEFF|bg=0xFFFFFF</flashmp3><br><br />
When the chorus is played backwards, it sounds something like "You can't see me, we sneak off. I lost to love. Please ... save the night wind and high above, I lost to love. Sing, save". Allegedly.<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
<br />
Stockholm Syndrome is one of the most played songs, almost always followed by many riffs. On the Drones tour, Stockholm Syndrome was performed very often for the first 30 gigs, appearing at almost every gig until Rock-A-Field Festival, 07/05/2015 when it was dropped from setlists for the remainder of the festival tour Summer leg. <br />

|I won't stand in your way<br />
Let your hatred grow<br />
And she'll scream and she'll shout and she'll pray<br />
And she had a name, yeah she had a name<br />

I won't hold you back<br />
Let your anger rise<br />
And we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn<br />
No one will recall, no one will recall <br />

This is the last time I'll abandon you<br />
And this is<br />
The last time I'll forget you<br />
I wish I could<br />

Look to the stars<br />
Let hope burn in your eyes<br />
And we'll love and we'll hate and we'll die<br />
All to no avail, all to no avail <br />

<div>[[Image:Koccds.png|thumb|right|Knights of Cydonia single cover, designed by Goodall]]<br />
Jasper Goodall is an English illustrator who authored the artwork for [[Supermassive Black Hole (single)|Supermassive Black Hole]], [[Starlight (single)|Starlight]], [[Knights of Cydonia (single)|Knights of Cydonia]], [[Invincible (single)|Invincible]] and [[Map of the Problematique (single)|Map of the Problematique]]. Many of Goodall's works have also been incorporated into the design of other Muse merchandise, such as attire and accessories.<br />
<br />
In his own words, he spent 6 months or so working with Muse on their album [[Black Holes and Revelations]], but quite a lot of work was made and never used for one reason or another. He also sayed that most of the work they did for Muse was obviously based on stars and space, and a lot of planets and moons in our solar system are named after greek gods and godesses. About the piece called "The Birth of Erebus", which was later used as the cover art for the [[Knights of Cydonia (single)|Knights of Cydonia CD single]] after some design changes, he sayed: "Erebus is actually a volcano on Antarctica, not a planet, but I liked his Mythic form as the son of the God Chaos. He represents the personification of darkness and shadow."<br />
<br />
He made some designs for the cover art for [[Invincible (single)|Invincible]], and he was quoted saying: "We had the task of creating an iconic image that could be made and read easily in smoke. I made images of a Rapier and a Helmet as metaphors for protection and invincibility. It was later suggested that because the lyrics were about being invincible when two lovers were together, that a couple embracing or kissing would be a good image. We needed to have two images that were different but answered the same brief, so the hands were used to replace the faces of the CD cover."<br />
<br />
Later, he was asked to make portraits of the band so they could use the image for merchandising for the [[H.A.A.R.P. (live)|H.A.A.R.P. tour concerts]]. Muse wanted a cover that communicated the fact that they had played Wembley, so he tried to make images that echoed the set they had used with a hint of the wembley arch in the background, but finally a photographic image of the band on stage was used as the cover.<br />
<br />
<br />
In Goodall's [http://jaspergoodall.com official site] you can find the [http://www.jaspergoodall.com/projects.php?show=4 Nebulae gallery] that includes expanded images of those that were used as single's artwork.<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]]", although around 20 songs had been written.<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rm200605}}</ref> Whilst three of these songs became B-sides, the others were left unfinished or as demos as the band were focused on finishing the eleven album tracks, and later became involved in live performances and recording new material.<ref name="ml20060601"><br />

}}</ref><ref name"answers">{{cite/museboard20081128}}</ref> One of the left over songs, "[[Soaked (song)|Soaked]]", which was completed during the end of the recording process, later emerged. Sixteen other songs have yet to surface, none of which were released on The Resistance or The 2nd Law. To an extent, this can be considered Muse's "lost album".<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 the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. Their 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 got inspired with 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 />
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 />
Muse's fifth studio album, ''The Resistance'', was released on September 14<sup>th</sup> 2009. Like previous Muse albums it draws from a wide range of genres and influences, including glam rock, R&B, disco and classical. ''The Resistance'' sees the return of instrumentation previously used on ''[[Origin of Symmetry (album) |Origin of Symmetry]]'', including a church organ ([[Unnatural Selection (song) |Unnatural Selection]]) and [[Other gear#Llama toenails |llama toenails]] ([[United States of Eurasia (song) |United States of Eurasia]]).<ref name="jmag-20090624"/> [[Matthew Bellamy]] summarised the album as having "an emphasis on rhythm and contemporary R&B at the start. Then it gets epic and strange, then it becomes contemporary classical music."<ref name="mojo-200907"/><br />
<br />
The band won the Grammy for ''Best Rock Album'' with ''The Resistance'' in 2011.<br />
<br />
Muse originally were going to work under producer Rick Rubin since they heard many comments from other artists of the creative freedom he gives while writing songs since he just gives ideas and then he disappears, however, they ended producing the album themselves.<ref name="Radio X - Muse Interview"><br />

== Writing ==<br />
<br />
On the 24<sup>th</sup> of May 2006 Matt was interviewed by Australian record station [[Triple J (radio)|Triple J]], before the release of ''[[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]]''. He stated that he wanted create a more progressive album with a lot of longer, piano based songs, with similarities to [[Pink Floyd]]'s Dark Side of the Moon.<ref name="mc-20070525"/> Also, in the fan webchat, when fans had the opportunity to ask questions of the band, one fan posed the question "Which song off the new album (BH&R) is most similar to the sound of the new album?". The band stated it was too early to tell, but some songs being written were in a similar style to "[[Map of the Problematique (song) | Map of the Problematique]]".<br />
<br />
In an interview with [[Rock Mag France (magazine)|French magazine Rock Mag]] in July 2007, Matt revealed a few details about the new album's direction, stating that some of the songs are more dance and electronica influenced, while others are a lot more symphonic and classical, and may include an orchestra. In another interview he mentioned one specific song he had written that would work well live with an orchestra, and mentioned he would like to use one for older songs such as "[[Hoodoo (song) | Hoodoo]]".<ref name="20min-20070725"/> He also said that they may release a new song, that sounds "like Elton John", as a charity download single. This is presumably the same song that was mentioned months earlier in a Planet Sound article.<ref name="mub-20070709"/> This article announced that a new song had been recorded. Dom stated "It came too late to put on Holes—we thought we should finish it in a tour break to put it out as a single. It's so long ago now, I can't exactly remember how it sounds."<ref name="planetsound-20071117"/> This song was ultimately not released by Muse, but was identified in 2009 as being "[[Soaked (song)|Soaked]]" when the demo was listed in the Warner/Chappell song catalogue. The song was later covered by Adam Lambert.<br />
<br />
In Q magazine Matt stated that "I live in Como, northern Italy, in a house that used to belong to the opera composer Vincenzo Bellinii. I'm trying to trace his ghost right now to help me write songs. I do this late at night, 3am. I turn the lights down low and start playing his songs on the piano in the hope of making contact. It hasn't worked so far but I'm confident it will".<ref name="q-200708"/> Opera has influenced Matt in the past, notably the song "[[Micro Cuts (song) | Micro Cuts]]". Later in a February 2008 interview with UK magazine [[Rock Sound UK |Rock Sound]], Matt stated that his lyrics may take a departure from the paranormal and other worldly elements, and that whilst he never used to be comfortable discussing personal issues within his songs, he is becoming more comfortable doing so and wishes to explore that side of songwriting.<br />
<br />
Numerous [[media]] reports about the fifth album began to appear<ref name="digitalspy-20071012"/><ref name="soulshine-20071016"/><ref name="bbcradio2"/> after the [[Daily Star (newspaper)|Daily Star]] published a story quoting [[Dominic Howard|Dom]] as saying "We’re going to start writing it properly next year but we’ve been getting lots of ideas down. “We think it might have quite an electronic feel". Howard also said the band were "buzzing" and indicated they would be ready to begin work on the album immediately after touring, with no break for reflection.<ref name="dailystar-20071011"/> In an interview in October 2007, Matt indicated that their progression to electronic music would probably be limited to added synths, and they would ultimately remain a rock band.<ref name="uka-interview"/><br />
<br />
The band discussed a few of the songs they wanted on the album in early 2008. Matt stated he would like "at least one 15-minute space-rock solo" and "dancing, grooving, rhythm section-dominated songs".<ref name="nme20080312"/> Matt later confirmed that he was indeed working on a 14 minute long "progressive" song that was "like a slimy opera version [of previous Muse songs]", as well as "funk and r'n'b" songs, but as of the March 2008, nothing had been recorded.<ref name="ml20080331"/> On 4th June, Dom posted updates to the [[Musewire]] twitter page concerning the new album, speaking of 'otherworldly disco', '15 minute orchestral monsters' and 'things in between'.<ref name="tw20080604"/><ref name="tw20080604-2"/><br />
<br />
Later in July, Matt detailed a song the band were working on that "sounds a little like ‘New Year’s Day’" by U2. He also stated that there was "a bit of glam rock creeping in there as well". Chris said in the same interview: "At the moment, I'm into getting loose in the studio with an engineer and seeing what happens. It might be shit!".<ref name="hp200802721"/> This song was later appeared to be "[[Guiding Light (song) | Guiding Light]]". The album sees new methods of playing and style with the song "[[Undisclosed Desires (song) | Undisclosed Desires]]" being the first song in which Matt plays neither guitar or piano, also having a programmed Drum Machine.<ref name="mojo-200907"/> This song is the first time Chris uses the method of slap bass.<ref name="nme20090707"/><br />
<br />
== Recording ==<br />
The album was recorded in [[Studio Bellini]], [[Moltrasio]] (Lake Como) and at [[Officine Meccaniche Studios]] Milan, Italy, between late-2008 and mid-2009. The beginning of the recording process was first indicated to have begun with the announcement of the [[Lisbon Bela Vista Park 2008 (gig)|Rock in Rio Festival]], with the band scheduled to be recording in June 2008.<ref name="mu20080403"/> However, on the 21st June 2008, [[Chris]] announced that although band had five or six new songs for the new album, they had not heard any of Matt's lyrics for the songs, saying that he's sure "he already has them in his head and that they are dark, as always". He contradicted earlier indications that recording would begin in June, instead stating that the band "don't plan to start recording before September or October", and that the album would be released in 2009.<ref name="ml20080622"/> Chris later announced in early July, through [[Musewire]], that they were "trying to put together a new album" in Italy, in Lake Como, where Matt's house is.<ref name="musewire-20080704"/> By September, the band were rehearsing for the album in their home county of Devon, UK,<ref name="plymoutheveningherald-20080926"/> and in October, Dom stated the band were working on a "symphonic monster among other things", presumably the aforementioned orchestral song, and would "start a bit of real recording in a couple of weeks".<ref name="dom20081028"/> In the Muse Q&A session in November 2008, Matt implied this song was difficult to compose as he was arranging the orchestral elements himself due to the fear of a composer changing the music. The song, if finished, will be in three parts at the end of the album.<ref name="qanda23"/> In addition, Dom said that the song "starts quite mellow and ends up very heavy indeed whilst moving through a few genres to get there".<ref name="qanda6"/> <br />
By mid-December 2008, Muse were working on the album in Matt's personal studio at Lake Como, Italy.<ref name="mu20081215"/> The Muse Christmas present ultimately lead to a screensaver that featured silent clips of the band recording the album, including Matt playing a keyboard whilst singing and wearing a santa hat.<ref name="mu200812xp"/> On 31st January [[Tom Kirk]] posted a video he uploaded to YouTube of Dom playing a snare drum in a sheep field whilst listening to some sort of device.<ref name="mu20090131"/> On 2nd March, a second video was posted onto YouTube by Tom Kirk featuring the band clicking into a microphone in a toilet cubicle, and another on the 28th of March with the band discussing recording after dinner.<ref name="ml20090314"/> Dom posted a blog on his MySpace profile on the 14th March 2009 stating that "Matt is doing vocals on some tracks as we speak which normally means they're nearly finished". In addition, after two more tracks are recorded from scratch, he said that "we might be almost looking at a complete album", before adding the finishing touches on the songs until they are finished.<ref name="ml20090314"/><br />
<br />
Recording was completed by May 2009, at which point mixing had begun.<ref name="ms20090525"/> On the 11th June 2009 Dom posted an update on MySpace stating that ''The Resistance'' had been mixed and he thought that the band had "actually finished the album", indicating a Sepetember release.<ref name="ms20090611"/> On 23<sup>rd</sup> June 2009, Chris announced via the band's [[Musewire|Twitter account]] that the album was "well and truly finished" and the band were preparing for mastering in New York.<ref name="ml20090623"/><br />
<br />
At some point it was expected that there would be some form of collaboration with [[Does It Offend You, Yeah?]]. In April, Dan Coop of Does It Offend You, Yeah? stated that they would be "hopefully going to go over to Matt's studio in Italy", but it was unknown where it would be Muse featuring Does It Offend It You, Yeah? or vice versa.<ref name="bbc20080403"/> No further news of this collaboration emerged, though they have made a remix of the first single [[Uprising (single)|Uprising]] which will be released as the B-Side on the CD single.<br />
<br />
== Pre-release ==<br />
[[File:Listening party iTouch.jpg | thumb | right | Listening party player]]<br />
None of the songs featured on ''The Resistance'' were played in full prior its recording, despite the band initially expressing desires to do so.<ref name="muselive-20080222"/><ref name="ml20080404"/> The first song title to be known was "[[United States of Eurasia (song) | United States of Eurasia]]", obtained from an image of the song's sheet music posted on Musewire.<ref name="tw20090519"/><ref name="mu20090522"/><br />
<br />
On 3rd February [[Microcuts.net]] posted a message saying that "Warner decided to release the new yet-to-be-named album in September 2009. An european tour should follow in fall."<ref name="mu20090203"/> On the 22nd May 2009, the title was announced to be ''The Resistance''.<ref name="tw20080522"/> On 16<sup>th</sup> June, it was announced on the official website that the release date is 14<sup>th</sup> September 2009. On the 3<sup>rd</sup> July the track list was announced one song at a time via Musewire. When "[[United States of Eurasia (song) | United States of Eurasia]]" was announced, it was appended by (+Collateral Damage); "Collateral Damage" was eventually revealed as the outro to the song. "[[I Belong to You (song) | I Belong to You]]" was similarly appended by (+Mon Coeur S'Ouvre A Ta Voix), an interlude which is sung in French.<br />
<br />
== Release ==<br />
The band initially entertained the idea of not releasing a full album but instead release a series of stand-alone songs to be released soon after touring concluded.<ref name="nme20070616"/> Early in 2008 Matt hinted the band had no real idea about what any future release could be, or if it would even be an album, stating<br />
"It may just be albums, but it may be a stream of singles, or it may just be one 50-minute symphony, do you know what I mean? Who knows?".<ref name="digitalspy-20080115"/><br />
<br />
In March 2008, Matt elaborated on his wishes to diverge from the traditional album format, stating "I don't think we're going to approach the next album like we're making an album... we're just gonna make a load of music." He went on to explain that the future approach would be "Almost like making the single a more prominent format and then every few years doing a 'best of' from that period and that would be the album. So in other words, throw out songs every couple of months and see how people like them, and whichever ones people like, stick that on a record of 11 tracks."<ref name="bbc-20080312"/> It later became apparent that band were in fact working on a full album.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Storm Thorgerson''' was an English graphic designer who designed lots of artworks for music groups such as [[Pink Floyd]], [[Dream Theater]] and [[The Mars Volta]]. The famous cover for Pink Floyd's ''Dark Side of the Moon'' was designed by him, and his trademark is mixing surreal elements with reality and placing everyday objects out of their context.<br />
<br />
For Muse, he has designed the covers for [[Absolution (album)|Absolution]] (2003, picture taken on location: Buntingford, Essex), the [[Butterflies and Hurricanes (single)|Butterflies & Hurricanes single]] (2004, Baldock, Hertfordshire) and [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]] (2006, Bardenas, Spain), as well as the cover for the ''[[Uprising (single)|Uprising'' single]] in 2009.<br />
<br />
He also contributed to the design of the [[Hysteria (single)|Hysteria]] CD and DVD single sleeve with Dan Abbott in 2003, and he designed in 2006 an alternate cover for the [[Supermassive Black Hole (single)|Supermassive Black Hole single]], but in the end the one designed by [[Jasper Goodall]] was used instead. It was included, along with the other covers he made for Muse, in his retrospective book ''Taken By Storm: The Album Art of Storm Thorgerson'', in which [[Matthew Bellamy]] wrote the foreword.<br />
<br />
He died at April 18th, 2013.<br />

== Information ==<br />
<br />
In an NME interview, Chris said "We'll definitely start working on a new album next year [2012]"<ref name="nme-2010-07-12"/> He went on to say "I think we'll definitely take some time off after this touring period because it's something we've never done. I think the most time we've had off is about six weeks in the last 12 years, so we're due a break." In another NME interview, Matt said that he was thinking about writing a more personal music project for their next album. "I sense that that's going to lead to a writing project that will be more personal, rather than talking about grand political concerns. That itself might lead to material that's more suitable for smaller venues."<br />
<br />
Chris has said in a recent interview that the band want to do something "radically different" on their next album. The bassist told Kerrang! magazine that it felt like they were "drawing a line" under their past and were eager to embrace new ideas. He said:"[The band] feel like we are drawing a line under a certain period of what we've done in our career. It feels like it's time to move on and do something radically different." However, he also admitted that it wasn't always easy to progress and push their sound forward, adding: "But then you could get into the studio and go back to what you're comfortable with. You get in the studio and there's a natural process and you have to see where a song will take you."<br />
<br />
On his Twitter account Matt jokingly described the album as a "christian gangsta rap jazz odyssey, with some ambient rebellious dubstep and face melting metal flamenco cowboy psychedelia".<br />
<br />
== Name ==<br />
<br />
The name "The 2nd Law" references the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics second law of thermodynamics], which is quoted in the album trailer as follow <blockquote><br />
"All natural and technological processes proceed in such a way that the availability of the remaining energy decreases. In all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves an isolated system, the entropy of that system incre,cre,cre,cre,c,c,creases. Energy continuously flows from being concentrated, to becoming dispersed, spread out, wasted and useless. New energy cannot be created and high grade energy is being destroyed. An economy based on endless growth is...Unsustainable"<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
== New songs ==<br />
[[File:Spacedelay.jpg | thumb | right |Looks like there might be some delay in space coming soon]]<br />
Near the beginning of 2010 Muse indicated they had been working on potentially two new songs, one of which was ready for recording. One was mentioned by Dom in an interview with regard to Muse providing new music for the 2012 Olympic games.<ref name="mb-2010-02-28"/> This turned out to be [[Survival (song)|Survival]]. Dom also mentioned a "love song" the band had written originally intended for the ''Twilight Saga: Eclipse'' soundtrack, stating that the band "were ready to record" in Australia during the Big Day Out tour. This turned out to be [[Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) (song)|Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)]]<ref name="dose-2010-02-28"/><br />
<br />
Later,when Matt was asked whether fatherhood was on his mind, he told MTV: "Yeah, I'm definitely going to bring out the Vibraphone, a lullaby, things like that. I'll definitely get a lullaby on there."<ref name="gigwise-2010-02-28"/> While lyrically this would appear to be [[Follow Me (song)|Follow Me]], [[Explorers (song)|Explorers]] would be more appropriate sonically.<br />
<br />
During the NME Awards 2011, Matt and Dom humorously stated that there would be "a lot of chords" on the album and that Matt already had many ideas flowing through his head, including one song which Dom said sounded very cool already.<br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
With information gathered from twitpics, the album is known to feature a brass section and an orchestra. Additionally, Matt has been seen holding a "[[Misa Kitara |Kitara]]", a guitar-shaped synthesizer controller.<br />
In an interview with NME Chris said that Matt was talking about "messing with grooves and loops". In an interview with NME in 2011, Matt said he was wanting to introduce some 90's rave into the band. The album will<br />
also have a lot of choirs in some songs like Survival.<br />
<br />
== Recording place ==<br />
[[File:Californiamuise.jpg | thumb | right |"California is generally a bit 70's" - January, 2012]]<br />
<br />
Bellamy told XFM: "We've actually never made a full album in London, we've made bits here occasionally."<br />
He added: "It would be nice to be based in the same place so we can go out and so we can make an album together and also socialise together at the same time."<br />
He also said: "It also means we can make the album over a longer period of time without having to pressurise it all in to a three week studio session, you can spread it out."<ref name="xfm-2010-02-28"/><br />
On November 16th 2011 Muse posted pics from [[Air Studios]] London England.<br />
<br />
In January 2012, Muse went to the [[Shangri La Studios]] Malibu, California USA for recording.<br />
<br />
== Back to the studio ==<br />
<br />
[[File:MattDiscussesHisScoreWithDavidCampbell.jpg | thumb | right |"Matt showing his scores to David Campbell" - Feb 23rd, 2012]]<br />
[[File:MattDomChrisDevSoundsCS.jpg | thumb | right |"Matt, Dom and Chris being creative" - Feb 29th, 2012]]<br />
Wolstenholme said that, Muse will back to the studio by September in 2011, after Reading and Leeds festivals.<br />
<br />
By October and November Muse started recording their sixth album.<br />
<br />
On February 23rd, 2012 Tom Kirk posted via Twitter a picture of Bellamy showing his arrangements to the accomplished composer [[David Campbell]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Campbell_%28composer%29]. David has an extensive background in arrangements and compostion of music.<BR />Other pictures tweeted from Tom Kirk and the official Muse Twitter account show all the members of Muse working in [[Cello_Studios | Cello Studios]], along with a Tweeted photo of Muse and the Brass section posing in Los Angeles. <br />
All this would indicate that Muse are fine tuning their existing pieces of music with a view for Classical elements to appear on the next album. <br />
<BR />Muse also worked at [[Capitol Studios]] shortly after working at Cello. Contrary to previous quotes of the band saying the sixth album <br />
would be made in London, it appears Muse are focussing on the timely delivery of their new offering. <br />
Muse appear to have been also working with studio engineers [[Adrian Bushby]] and [[Tommaso Colliva]].<br />
<br />
On February 29th [[Paul Reeve]] posted a tweet stating, "''Just confirmed dates for recording vocals for the new Muse album...You will not have heard anything like this from them before''".<br />
<br />
Bellamy posted on his Twitter that Muse would be producing the album themselves, although [[Paul Reeve]] has produced vocals for the project.<br />
<br />
== Influences ==<br />
<br />
In a interview with Absolute Radio, Matt mentioned the new album may have influences from Justice and DIOYY, and that he was very into the 'hard electronica' sound at the moment.<ref name="ar20100228"><br />

<br />
In an NME article according to Dom the band "went to see [[Skrillex]] in Camden around October. We went 'Fuck, it's so heavy', loved it. It was like a full metal gig, they had the circles of death, people were moshing, I hadn't seen a reaction like that to electronic music before. We took inspiration and came up with [[Unsustainable (song)|Unsustainable]]." Matt added, "Some of that hard dubstep or brostep coming from America is capturing the imagination. The moshpit has moved from guitars and gone towards the laptop, so with that song we're trying to see if we can challenge the laptop. We created something that was dubsteppy but we wanted to see if we could do it with real instruments. We wanted to ask, 'Can rock bands compete with what these guys are doing?'"<br />
In the same NME Article, the song Panic Station was described as having "demented 80's elements such as backwards 'Let's Dance' drumbeats and riffs reminiscent of INXS' 'Suicide Blonde'".<br />
<br />
Also, in a recent interview Matt revealed that he took influence from "The Dark Knight Rises" composer Hans Zimmer, claiming:"He's the greatest film composer of recent times. That song 'The 2nd Law', you can definitely hear some Hans Zimmer influence."<br />
<br />
==Release==<br />
On the 6<sup>th</sup> June 2012 a movie-style trailer was released for the album featuring music from the album, and announcing the title. It was accompanied by a release date counting down to 17<sup>th</sup> September 2012, a Monday, indicative of the UK release date.<ref name="mu20120607"><br />

In an NME interview, Chris said "We'll definitely start working on a new album next year [2012]"<ref name="nme-2010-07-12"/> He went on to say "I think we'll definitely take some time off after this touring period because it's something we've never done. I think the most time we've had off is about six weeks in the last 12 years, so we're due a break." In another NME interview, Matt said that he was thinking about writing a more personal music project for their next album. "I sense that that's going to lead to a writing project that will be more personal, rather than talking about grand political concerns. That itself might lead to material that's more suitable for smaller venues."<br />
<br />
Chris has said in a recent interview that the band want to do something "radically different" on their next album. The bassist told Kerrang! magazine that it felt like they were "drawing a line" under their past and were eager to embrace new ideas. He said:"[The band] feel like we are drawing a line under a certain period of what we've done in our career. It feels like it's time to move on and do something radically different." However, he also admitted that it wasn't always easy to progress and push their sound forward, adding: "But then you could get into the studio and go back to what you're comfortable with. You get in the studio and there's a natural process and you have to see where a song will take you."<br />
<br />
On his Twitter account Matt jokingly described the album as a "christian gangsta rap jazz odyssey, with some ambient rebellious dubstep and face melting metal flamenco cowboy psychedelia".<br />
<br />
== Name ==<br />
<br />
The name "The 2nd Law" references the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics second law of thermodynamics], which is quoted in the album trailer as follow <blockquote><br />
"All natural and technological processes proceed in such a way that the availability of the remaining energy decreases. In all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves an isolated system, the entropy of that system incre,cre,cre,cre,c,c,creases. Energy continuously flows from being concentrated, to becoming dispersed, spread out, wasted and useless. New energy cannot be created and high grade energy is being destroyed. An economy based on endless growth is...Unsustainable"<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
== New songs ==<br />
[[File:Spacedelay.jpg | thumb | right |Looks like there might be some delay in space coming soon]]<br />
Near the beginning of 2010 Muse indicated they had been working on potentially two new songs, one of which was ready for recording. One was mentioned by Dom in an interview with regard to Muse providing new music for the 2012 Olympic games.<ref name="mb-2010-02-28"/> This turned out to be [[Survival (song)|Survival]]. Dom also mentioned a "love song" the band had written originally intended for the ''Twilight Saga: Eclipse'' soundtrack, stating that the band "were ready to record" in Australia during the Big Day Out tour. This turned out to be [[Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) (song)|Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)]]<ref name="dose-2010-02-28"/><br />
<br />
Later,when Matt was asked whether fatherhood was on his mind, he told MTV: "Yeah, I'm definitely going to bring out the Vibraphone, a lullaby, things like that. I'll definitely get a lullaby on there."<ref name="gigwise-2010-02-28"/> While lyrically this would appear to be [[Follow Me (song)|Follow Me]], [[Explorers (song)|Explorers]] would be more appropriate sonically.<br />
<br />
During the NME Awards 2011, Matt and Dom humorously stated that there would be "a lot of chords" on the album and that Matt already had many ideas flowing through his head, including one song which Dom said sounded very cool already.<br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
With information gathered from twitpics, the album is known to feature a brass section and an orchestra. Additionally, Matt has been seen holding a "[[Misa Kitara |Kitara]]", a guitar-shaped synthesizer controller.<br />
In an interview with NME Chris said that Matt was talking about "messing with grooves and loops". In an interview with NME in 2011, Matt said he was wanting to introduce some 90's rave into the band. The album will<br />
also have a lot of choirs in some songs like Survival.<br />
<br />
== Recording place ==<br />
[[File:Californiamuise.jpg | thumb | right |"California is generally a bit 70's" - January, 2012]]<br />
<br />
Bellamy told XFM: "We've actually never made a full album in London, we've made bits here occasionally."<br />
He added: "It would be nice to be based in the same place so we can go out and so we can make an album together and also socialise together at the same time."<br />
He also said: "It also means we can make the album over a longer period of time without having to pressurise it all in to a three week studio session, you can spread it out."<ref name="xfm-2010-02-28"/><br />
On November 16th 2011 Muse posted pics from [[Air Studios]] London England.<br />
<br />
In January 2012, Muse went to the [[Shangri La Studios]] Malibu, California USA for recording.<br />
<br />
== Back to the studio ==<br />
<br />
[[File:MattDiscussesHisScoreWithDavidCampbell.jpg | thumb | right |"Matt showing his scores to David Campbell" - Feb 23rd, 2012]]<br />
[[File:MattDomChrisDevSoundsCS.jpg | thumb | right |"Matt, Dom and Chris being creative" - Feb 29th, 2012]]<br />
Wolstenholme said that, Muse will back to the studio by September in 2011, after Reading and Leeds festivals.<br />
<br />
By October and November Muse started recording their sixth album.<br />
<br />
On February 23rd, 2012 Tom Kirk posted via Twitter a picture of Bellamy showing his arrangements to the accomplished composer [[David Campbell]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Campbell_%28composer%29]. David has an extensive background in arrangements and compostion of music.<BR />Other pictures tweeted from Tom Kirk and the official Muse Twitter account show all the members of Muse working in [[Cello_Studios | Cello Studios]], along with a Tweeted photo of Muse and the Brass section posing in Los Angeles. <br />
All this would indicate that Muse are fine tuning their existing pieces of music with a view for Classical elements to appear on the next album. <br />
<BR />Muse also worked at [[Capitol Studios]] shortly after working at Cello. Contrary to previous quotes of the band saying the sixth album <br />
would be made in London, it appears Muse are focussing on the timely delivery of their new offering. <br />
Muse appear to have been also working with studio engineers [[Adrian Bushby]] and [[Tommaso Colliva]].<br />
<br />
On February 29th [[Paul Reeve]] posted a tweet stating, "''Just confirmed dates for recording vocals for the new Muse album...You will not have heard anything like this from them before''".<br />
<br />
Bellamy posted on his Twitter that Muse would be producing the album themselves, although [[Paul Reeve]] has produced vocals for the project.<br />
<br />
== Influences ==<br />
<br />
In a interview with Absolute Radio, Matt mentioned the new album may have influences from Justice and DIOYY, and that he was very into the 'hard electronica' sound at the moment.<ref name="ar20100228"><br />

<br />
In an NME article according to Dom the band "went to see [[Skrillex]] in Camden around October. We went 'Fuck, it's so heavy', loved it. It was like a full metal gig, they had the circles of death, people were moshing, I hadn't seen a reaction like that to electronic music before. We took inspiration and came up with [[Unsustainable (song)|Unsustainable]]." Matt added, "Some of that hard dubstep or brostep coming from America is capturing the imagination. The moshpit has moved from guitars and gone towards the laptop, so with that song we're trying to see if we can challenge the laptop. We created something that was dubsteppy but we wanted to see if we could do it with real instruments. We wanted to ask, 'Can rock bands compete with what these guys are doing?'"<br />
In the same NME Article, the song Panic Station was described as having "demented 80's elements such as backwards 'Let's Dance' drumbeats and riffs reminiscent of INXS' 'Suicide Blonde'".<br />
<br />
Also, in a recent interview Matt revealed that he took influence from "The Dark Knight Rises" composer Hans Zimmer, claiming:"He's the greatest film composer of recent times. That song 'The 2nd Law', you can definitely hear some Hans Zimmer influence."<br />
<br />
==Release==<br />

== Q&A: Matt Bellamy from Muse talks politics, arena rock and The Resistance ==<br />
Posted: October 06, 2009, 8:00 AM by Brad Frenette<br />
<br />
[[File:National Post 2009-10-06 a.jpg | 475px]]<br />
<br />
With their blend of prog-rock and fist-raising anthems, British band Muse have been filling stadiums for years in Europe. With the release of [[The Resistance (album) | The Resistance]], their fifth, and most challenging and versatile record to date, the band has taken the top spot in the Canadian charts and finally cracked the North American market.<br />
<br />
Brad Frenette spoke to Muse's lead singer, [[Matthew Bellamy]], on the phone from Washington between stops on the [[U2]] 360° tour, to discuss the new record, film scores and how to write a song for 50,000 screaming fans.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''How has the U2 opening slot been for you guys?''</span> =====<br />
A: It's good fun. It's been great seeing them play. They are probably he best live rock band out there.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''Were you a fan growing up?''</span> =====<br />
A: My older brother was a big fan. It's before my time, really. The first thing I really heard was around the Actung Baby album really. But a good band, yeah.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''There are a lot of different elements on this new album - from a Saint-Saëns opera to some eastern elements and the anthemic rock. Did you go into the writing process with a certain musical thesis?''</span> =====<br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap">'''A:''' Not really. Some of the plans we had were more like - let's produce this ourselves. And work in a home studio and see what happens. Every album you try to change something - whether the producer or the location - and hope the formula will change and something will come out of it.<br />
We thought there was a a chance we might go in and just make music like [[Showbiz (album) | the first album]]. Or we might find that we can work in a dramatically different way. What I think we ended up with was a combination of those two things. In some ways it reminds me of our early stuff, but we've got some bizarre elements which would have surprised me if I'd heard it back years ago. Surprised me that it'd somehow found a way to get into a rock band - some of those elements you mentioned, the operatic music or the Asian or mid-eastern music.<br />
We didn't have a producer guiding us. What we came out with is not actually that raw, it doesn't sound like a self-produced album. The sounds quality is good. That was the thing I was most worried about - that it would come out sounding like a bunch of amateurs. I'm pretty happy with it.<br />
<br />
[[File:The_Resistance.jpg | right | 238px]]<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''Your lyrical themes are pretty grandiose. What literature influences your writing?''</span> =====<br />
A: In terms of fiction, I'm not a big fiction reader at all. <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[George Orwell]]'s novel<nowiki>]</nowiki> 1984, you can hear a bit of that creeping into the album. I read a lot of foreign policy, political think-tank type books. The Grand Chessboard, by [[Zbigniew Brzezinski]] is a book about America's desire for hegemonic primacy, world dominance, how they manage the Eurasian land-mass. That sort of Dr. Strangelove style thinking. I love these sort of mad thinkers. I used to read a lot of things like mystery books and things like that. I'm always interested in peoples different perspectives of reality. I don't know if I necessarily believe them, but I enjoy them.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''[[Exogenesis: Symphony (song) | Exogenesis]] is this three part mini-opera to close the album . Was it always meant to be a trio of songs, or did it start as one long epic? How did it come together?''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' It was a collection of piano pieces. It didn't really have too much melody. It was more something I played before a concert to warm up. Through the course of time, it became something that had more structure to it and it went together quite well. I had it lying around. Some of the bits of it were actually around during the making of the last album. But it was me noodling on the piano, it wasn't anything being looked at as material.<br />
When we came to make this album, I suggested that we try to make something more in the classical genre. And incorporate the bass and drums into it. [[Dominic Howard | Dom]] and [[Christopher Wolstenholme | Chris]] worked on parts. In the end, I put guitars on part one, and vocals across most of it. And that led to the orchestra arrangement that went with it.<br />
We were pitching to do something that was purely from a non-rock genre, purely from the classical world, if you like. I think we ended up with something toward the middle - we merged the three piece that we used with an orchestra.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''Would you ever consider writing something like an opera?''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' I don't know. I care about communicating with the younger generation, if you like. I'm interested with all age groups, but the rock concert is very difficult to argue with in terms of performance of music. I'd say in some ways, if you watch U2, with all the lighting and all the stage production, in some ways it has surpassed the opera as an art form. My interest would be more to enhance the rock concert in someway that takes an influence from the theatrics of opera, as opposed to downsize to a small theatre that will be seen in a few cities by people wearing suits.<br />
I'm not against opera, I like opera. I go to watch it sometime, but it has a slight stiff edge to it.<br />
I quite like the musical. The more contemporary twist, where you bring in technology. I don't like the songwriting in musicals.<br />
Generally, if you come to one of our concerts, you'll hear some of the influences are in there. the live show we do in Europe, we are going to bring it over here in March or April next year. there are aspects of that which are quiet theatrical, quite different.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''So dates in North America next spring?''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' Yes, March, April and May. Quite a few dates up in Canada.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''Speaking of your live show, Muse uses a lot of layers and complicated structures. As you are writing, do you three confer about how the songs will translate live.''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' The end venue, which relates to the last question, it has an impact on the writing, whether you like it or not. You're always thinking - how is this going to be listened to. Our time is dominated mostly by touring, not by being in the studio. If we were just a studio band, we'd make one kind of album, but because we know we are going on the road, you can't help but make music that has a relevance being in a large venue.<br />
Using pronouns like "we" and "us", instead of "I" – you move away from the personal and start moving to singing about more - even the whole venue will feel like it's about them, or about all of us together in that room. It has an impact. It's a major difference between the first album to this one, I feel the music we're making is making a bigger effort to reach out to the people at the back of the venue. You can't help but wanting to engage the audience.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''Do you miss playing small clubs?''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' I like it for different reasons. When you go into a small club, you can totally misjudge the set-list. There's a certain type of songs which work well in a small venue and others that work well in a big venue. You can get it wrong. There's a song from [[Black Holes and Revelations (album) | the last album]] called "[[Take a Bow (song) |Take A Bow]]", and I imaging [''sic''] on this album it'll be the track "[[United States of Eurasia (song) |Eurasia]]", that if you played at a really small venue it would actually be crap (laughs). It just wouldn't work. The pretensions of it, or the over-reachingness of it would be exposed.<br />
</span>Whereas when you go into a stadium environment, it feels perfectly relevant. The boldness of the emotion, the instrumentation of the music fits very well. <br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''So when you are writing, you are writing to the space?''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' I wouldn't say it's conscious. I've noticed it's happening unconsciously. It might be the impact of playing in front of large audiences for a long period of time. It makes you think differently about people, it make you think differently about yourself. It's no longer just a subjective, lonely experience.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''You have a song on the new Twilight film. Are you a fan?''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' Well, I liked The Lost Boys in the '80s. I remember that one had a pretty good soundtrack as well. This sort of film struck me as this generations version of The Lost Boys. It was actually Stephenie Meyer who approached the band quite a few years before the film was name, just as she was becoming known. She came to a concert in Phoenix, in Arizona - I think that's where she lived, or she lived nearby. She was very friendly, and she told us that she liked the music and that she'd like to use the music in the films. It was a few years later that the filmmakers came to us, and we said sure. I had no idea [the first film] was going to be a film as it was, I thought is was going to be an indie film.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''You've also put your band forth as being interested in contributing the theme song to a future Bond film.''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' Yes (laughs).<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''Are you interested in working on a full film score?''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' Me personally, yes, I'd be interested in. Not in the Muse style. Picking a film that the music would work. I've been offered to do some work on a remake of Clash of the Titans. It'll be really sort of mental music for a film like that. Totally different to Muse.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''What bands are you listening to?''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' There's a band called White Lies. They are pretty good. The Horrors. I'm really into Lady Gaga (laughs). She's such a brilliant performer.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''Did you ever feel part of the Brit-pop scene?''</span> =====<br />
'''A:''' I think we're separate from it. We didn't grow up in a major city like London or Manchester. We came from a place we here there was no real city or anything. People ay [''sic''] we come from Devon. That's like people saying we came from Alaska, like an entire state. There's no cities in in that mean anything. The early press didn't know how to lump us in. And musically, we evolved quite separately. We really skipped the Brit-pop thing.<br />
<br />
===== Q: <span style="font-weight: normal">''How would you describe Muse, then?''</span> =====<br />
Q: [''sic''] Well, it's a rock band, isn't it?<br />

<div>'''Storm Thorgerson''' was an English graphic designer who designed lots of artworks for music groups such as [[Pink Floyd]], [[Dream Theater]] and [[The Mars Volta]]. The famous cover for Pink Floyd's ''Dark Side of the Moon'' was designed by him, and his trademark is mixing surreal elements with reality and placing everyday objects out of their context.<br />
<br />
For Muse, he has designed the covers for [[Absolution (album)|Absolution]] (2003, picture taken on location: Buntingford, Essex), the [[Butterflies and Hurricanes (single)|Butterflies & Hurricanes single]] (2004, Baldock, Hertfordshire) and [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]] (2006, Bardenas, Spain), as well as the cover for the ''[[Uprising (single)|Uprising'' single]] in 2009.<br />
<br />
He also contributed to the design of the [[Hysteria (single)|Hysteria]] CD and DVD single sleeve with Dan Abbott in 2003, and he designed in 2006 an alternate cover for the [[Supermassive Black Hole (single)|Supermassive Black Hole single]], but in the end the one designed by [[Jasper Goodall]] was used instead. It was included, along with the other covers he made for Muse, in his retrospective book ''Taken By Storm: The Album Art of Storm Thorgerson'', in which [[Matthew Bellamy]] wrote the foreword.<br />
<br />
He died at April 18th, 2013.<br />
