![]() Like the best sci-fi blockbusters, this album will have your heart racing up to the very last second. The Four Horsemen eventually arrive, galloping into the blistering finale, “Knights of Cydonia,” a “Bohemian Rhapsody” for our darkest of hours. ![]() That burning desire for human connection permeates the rest of this roaring epic, even through the militaristic march of “Invincible” and the System of a Down-inspired assault on “Assassin,” in which Bellamy orders for the destruction of “demonocracy.” By the album’s climax, all borders seemingly vanish, as the band weaves together Middle Eastern strings, mariachi trumpets, flamenco guitar, classical piano, and spaghetti-western twang in its closing trio of tracks. The album contains elements of these genres. The album is less classically orientated than Origin of Symmetry and Absolution, while introducing new influences including jazz, soul and R&B.

Many hated this album of the different direction that the band took. It is in my opinion the best album of the new sounding Muse with heavy use of electronic music. “Take a Bow” sets the apocalyptic scene with a simmering synth arpeggio that boils over into a forbidding rebel call: “You will burn in hell!” frontman Matt Bellamy bellows into the guitar-squiggling, techno-throbbing chaos. Not the best Muse album (that honor should go to either of the 2 albums that precedes Black Holes), but it is pretty close. ![]() 1 Lasting at over 2 years, this was the band's longest tour to date.
