  This album opens with a huge bombastic blast with arpeggiated synths, huge guitar riffs and crashing drums, like Queen crossed with Phillip Glass. It calms down a little after that with Starlight sounding a bit like Coldplay, although Supermassive Black Hole returns to the big 70s glam rock feel. The standout for me is Knights of Cydonia which adds galloping horses and Dick Dale style surf guitar to the mix. Excellent fun all round. Sagittarius A*-tastic!

  I vividly remember the first time I heard Muse. We were driving somewhere and Gabe goes "you'll love this album I found. The same artist who does Knights of Cydonia in Guitar Hero 3." plays Starlight I was transported. Obsessed with it. Becomes pivotal album. Gah.
