Seventh album theory
This is just a theory of next Muse's Pwoper Album and this article will a speculative tract. For official information about "the seventh album", go to Seventh Album.
First Clues
Matt said that the next album will sound like early albums, with a lot of rock and less electronic sounds.[1]
Matt said to a Muse fan who she/he met outside the studio in Vancouver, where they're recording the album, that the new album will be more like Black Holes and Revelations and Absolution, and that it would have some songs with heavy guitar riffs.
Tweets refering to touring
Matt got asked over Twitter if they would play Citizen Erased on their next tour, to which he answered "yes, and it's sequel..."[2]
The 3 theories for that are:
- 'Sequel' referring to Micro Cuts, having in mind their order in the album.
- Take A Bow was known as "Citizen Erased II" prior to Black Holes and Revelations, as seen here
- A new song, as an official sequel to the aforementioned song. This could refer to a new song featuring a heavy riff on a 7-string guitar, as seen in the teaser pics.
