If you are yet to check out Muse’s latest album title The Resistance – the follow up to their masterful 2006 album Black Holes and Revelations – you are really missing out. Surely to divide fans, the album is their most unconventinal and ambitious yet, starting off with two absolutely head-bangingly beautiful tracks and closing with a three-part thirteen minute song titled “Exogenesis” – a brilliant song comprised of over forty musicians. It’s different than a lot of their previous work, but it is just as good.
Below is the awesomely zany video for the album opener and their first released single, “Uprising.” Check it out and be sure to pick up a copy of the album. It’s well worth the bucks. These guys are some of the best in the business today.

This record seems to be getting some buzz. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice post! I love the juxtaposition of video cliches (band on back of moving truck, band surrounded by sparks of light, guitar smashing TV storefront) with the plasticity and creepy toy-like quality of the band members and other imagery. Brilliant visualization of great lyrics and sound!

Great video for a great tune. I like the new album but not as much as Black Holes and Revelations.
Plus, I just discovered EDITORS and they’re on constant play at the moment.
