Muse premiered their new single Madness on BBC Radio yesterday.
The song is getting a lot of criticism, but I absolutely adore it. It's a whole other facet of Muse, one we've never heard before. BBC Radio also had a 30-minute interview with the band, where they spoke about the new album, Chris writing and singing, and their plans for the future.
The 2nd Law, Muse 6th studio album, comes out October 1st. The full video for Madness will be released soon, the video in this post is an official lyric video.
Muse revealed the track listing for their sixth studio album, The 2nd Law today.
Supremacy
Madness
Panic Station
Prelude
Survival
Follow Me
Animals
Explorers
Big Freeze
Save Me
Liquid State
The 2nd Law: Unsustainable
The 2nd Law: Isolated System
As you can see, both Unsustainable (the dubstep-like song featured in the album trailer) and Survival (the official song for the Olympic Games in London this summer) are featured on the album. I can't wait until September, to hear what the album will sound like.
Since Survival will be played practically the whole time during the Olympics, maybe they're worth watching this time?
yesterday, Muse released the trailer for their upcoming 6th album: 'The Second Law'.
I think the trailer is super awesome and I can't wait for the new album! On the internet (read: Tumblr) I've read a lot of criticism on the 'dupstep' in the video. Personally, I was a little shocked too when I first heard it, but after listening it a few times I started to like it. And well, it's Muse so everything they write is perfect.
There are also rumors of a leaked song called 'The 2nd Law', you can listen to it here. Someone on Tumblr said it was an intended B-side for the new album, and I don't know much else about it, apart from that it sounds amazing.
Other fantatic news is that Muse is going to tour in Europe this year! All tour dates are on their official site. Tickets go on sale on June 14th, but if you have a account on muse.mu you can already buy tickets. I'm going to their gig in Amsterdam on December 17th, and I can't wait! I've seen Muse live before and I know how fabulous they are. It's definately one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Yesterday on Tumblr, this amazing fanart for The 2nd Law was on my dashboard:
Only a few days after the birthday of Chris Wolstenholme, his bandmate Dominic Howard celebrates his birthday too! Dom is the drummer from Muse, and this is his 34th birthday. Happy birthday, Dom!
Reports are starting to trickle in regarding the formation of a new superband, dubbed 'Expensive Love'. The band is rumoured to include Alex Carapetis (associated w/ Nine Inch Nails), Dominic Howard, Mark Stoermer (The Killers), Ray Suen (Flaming Lips) and Jason Hill (Louis XIV).
The news was originally announced on Jason Hill's Facebook page, with the message:
Hi All,
I’ll be playing my new material for the first time on July 15 in Silverlake, CA at Satellite (formally Spaceland). I’ve been working on an album for two years with some friends of mine and we are almost done. The band playing on July 15 is Alex Carapetis, Dominic Howard(from Muse), Mark Stoermer (from Killers), Ray Suen (Flaming Lips), Sam Gendel on Sax and myself. The show will probably sell quick so I wanted to tell all my friends first before it goes public. Hope you can make the fun. Stay tuned for bits of music to be released coming soon. The album is the best thing I’ve ever done. The band will be playing on July 15 under the name EXPENSIVE LOVE. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.thesatellitela.com/.
Hope to see you,
Jason Hill

This is awesome. Unfortunately, I'm on holiday on the 15th of July, so I probably will read the reviews a few weeks after the show. Damnit.
