Muse have been at the forefront of British Rock for years, renowned for rip roaring live performances and high born rock guitars. Absolution, from 2003 is a perfectly ageing album torn between heavy power rock to the sweetest and most wonderfully crafted lullabies. The single 'Time Is Running Out' and Hysteria are the two stand out heavy tracks, and Mathew Bellamy nails and drifts through each verse with an inhuman level of perfection.
The only downside thinkable is the somewhat obscure and detailed sections, such as the intricate piano/arrangement on Butterflies 7 Hurricanes which might not meet everyone's tastes.
All in all, it's intelligent, thought provoking gold from one of the UK's best Alternative Groups. If you've any inclination in investigating Muse, Absolution is definitely the album to begin with, then you can lean towards the heavier side in the Origin of Symmetry, or the more modern rock edge in Black Holes and Revelations.
Definitely try it!
