Muse – Uprising (Youtube)

A lot’s been made of Muse’s return with The Resistance, and a few critics are saying the band aren’t at their best. I’m not sure I agree.

At first listen I didn’t get a lot from Uprising other than the Doctor Who theme and the usual Muse bassline. The more I listened to it though, the more I loved it. It isn’t a grower in the same was as New Born was, all the way back in 2001, but the Sturm und Drang of the track is relentless and wears you down in no time. You’ll find yourself humming it along without even knowing it.

There’s more to enjoy on the album, such as the excellent MK Ultra, so don’t think this is the last you’ll hear of Muse any time soon.
