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."

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."
==Current gigs 2022==
{{Gigs/2022}}


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".

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>
"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"
</blockquote>
 
== New songs ==
[[File:Spacedelay.jpg | thumb | right |Looks like there might be some delay in space coming soon]]
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"/>
 
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.
 
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.
 
== Instrumentation ==
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.
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
also have a lot of choirs in some songs like Survival.
 
== Recording place ==
[[File:Californiamuise.jpg | thumb | right |"California is generally a bit 70's" - January, 2012]]
 
Bellamy told XFM: "We've actually never made a full album in London, we've made bits here occasionally."
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."
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"/>
On November 16th 2011 Muse posted pics from [[Air Studios]] London England.
 
In January 2012, Muse went to the [[Shangri La Studios]] Malibu, California USA for recording.
 
== Back to the studio ==
 
[[File:MattDiscussesHisScoreWithDavidCampbell.jpg‎ | thumb | right |"Matt showing his scores to David Campbell" - Feb 23rd, 2012]]
[[File:MattDomChrisDevSoundsCS.jpg | thumb | right |"Matt, Dom and Chris being creative" - Feb 29th, 2012]]
Wolstenholme said that, Muse will back to the studio by September in 2011, after Reading and Leeds festivals.
 
By October and November Muse started recording their sixth album.
 
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.
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 />Muse also worked at [[Capitol Studios]] shortly after working at Cello.  Contrary to previous quotes of the band saying the sixth album
would be made in London, it appears Muse are focussing on the timely delivery of their new offering.
Muse appear to have been also working with studio engineers [[Adrian Bushby]] and [[Tommaso Colliva]].
 
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''".
 
Bellamy posted on his Twitter that Muse would be producing the album themselves, although [[Paul Reeve]] has produced vocals for the project.
 
== Influences ==
 
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">

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?'"
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'".
 
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."
 
==Release==
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">

On 2<sup>nd</sup> August 2012, it was announced via Muse's website that the release date of the album had been postponed to the worldwide release date of the 1<sup>st</sup> October, and that the song Madness will be released on 20<sup>th</sup> of August.
