A review of the album, Muse ideal new music 2017 «The 2nd Law»

When Matt Bellamy said that Muse will bring down dubstep and bass sing ideal new music 2017, few people took it seriously. Come on ideal new music 2017, Bells, you wrote on Twitter that the new album will be a Christian gangsta rap jazz odyssey, has repeatedly promised to address the space to build a concert ship, fly to the scene of "Wembley" with a jetpack on his back.

At first it seemed that all this - trolling. «Control», - chanting voice against the background of the celebration infernal pathos anthem «Survival» London Olympics. «Troll», - is clearly heard in this chorus. But it seems that they do seriously. Album «The 2nd Law» Muse killed one and showed the world another group. About old times reminiscent of vocal, orchestral ambitions, love of Queen, habits on a planetary scale.

From the first chords rattles pathetic rock opera - a song «Supremacy». It develops from a typical jam Muse to bravura cross between Led Zeppelin «Kashmir» and atmospheric soundtracks for "bondiane" (perhaps on the Bond and payment was not in vain rumors went), with falsetto trademark guitar riffs, symphonic fervor.

Single Mae me- «Madness» - an absolute success Mae-ME-Muse is in pop ideal new music 2017. Many fans of the song jarred, but not so suddenly - Mae-ME-ME-Matt has long wanted to write a pop masterpiece, admired Lady Gaga, last album was trying to conquer the charts with the track «Undisclosed Desires».

Chris Martin of Coldplay said that «Madness» - best creation Muse. Pop-pop hero hero always understand. Sterile arrangement, sugary feed, light elements are not so much dubstep as wob-wob-tap - all this is certainly unusual, but the core of the song is a nice melody to which Bellamy has always had a special talent. A vocal fragment with the text «Come to me, trust in a dream» sounds very much in the style of Bono.

• Panic Station» - the most catchy thing about the album and simply has to be the next single. Commercials Queen + Scissor Sisters, hysterical disco 80s vinaigrette «Another One Bites the Dust», «Let's Dance», Stevie Wonder and Prince. For the first time Matt allows himself the word «fuck» in the album tracks.

Noises in the beginning «Follow Me» - Bing heartbeat, newborn son Bellamy and Kate Hudson. "This song - an ode to fatherhood," - says the frontman of Muse. Chorus stunned weighty dabstepovym bit, which helped the group electronic duo Nero.

Muse are looking for, invent, they sound quite different, especially in songs such as «Animals». Unusual clock rhythm guitar and 5/4, almost the first time in this group. Dedication to human greed, which ends aggressive shouting of brokers on the exchange.

The plot is amplified with the songs «Explorers» and «Big Freeze», the desire for freedom from defects and mental relaxation. «Free me», «Hear me, feel me», all calls - one.

Further, the album introduced the flash unit, which is really singing bassist Chris Wolstenholme, the father of six children and, according to Mahaney head, the owner of the most robust in the world neck.

Those who listened to the backing vocals on the Muse concerts to mark the angelic voice. One, «Save Me», more tender, and the second, «Liquid State», more rigid, but the overall theme - the struggle with alcoholism and Chris salvific role of the family in the process. Excellent voice for backlinks, but not so suitable for solo vocalist Muse scale. I wish Chris built a side project.

Finally it remains sparkling dubstep-rock symphony «The 2nd Law: Unsustainable». This Muse to no one did. This thing can become a highlight in the live shows of the group. «The 2nd Law: Isolated System» - orchestral epilogue.

If in times of «Origin Of Symmetry» Bellamy learned what will be in ten years, he would probably poisoned by hallucinogenic mushrooms. But between now and that Matt was left almost nothing in common.

The new album does not leave myuzeram veteran no hope rubilovo. Even dabstepovogo "meat" here is more than a guitar. No one impressive piano part. Basically - lyrics, vocal narcissism, the search for new forms.

And all would be fine, but in a group hanging load of past releases and a truly magnificent compositions. «The 2nd Law» - a quiet, completely without nerve, does not possess outstanding numbers. For the first time Muse have recorded an album that does not light up in the rankings of the best guitar riffs, concert and other militants of good.

The desire of world ideal new music 2017 dominance faded, but the ideal new music 2017 charisma of this group will not kill any explosion of the neutron star, or Kate Hudson. So welcome new Muse. Buy «OOS» on vinyl and «Hullabaloo» on DVD, get ready to hear a live «Madness» and «Save Me».
