THE REVIEW
With Absolution, Muse establish themselves as an extraordinary band capable of thriving in the music business, while at the same time making their own decisions, especially when it comes to style.
The American power trio works exceedingly well, and Matthew Bellamy seems to be in incredible form both vocally and instrumentally.
The genre the trio presents to us is difficult to define, aside from categorizing it as post-rock influenced by some shards of molten metal (especially in terms of guitars) and with a sprinkle of electronics here and there to make the atmosphere more current, if not futuristic.
The themes addressed in the lyrics are deep, often with philosophical references, but also quite concrete, typically tending towards drama, as they have always accustomed us to.
A pleasant record, well recorded with very catchy and listenable songs.

The power of sound and lyrics is always at high levels, and this time it is even more fueled by the gloomy climate in which society finds itself.
'Absolution' is the third step in the certainly ascending parabola of the English group, hoping that this is not the peak.

Muse truly suck.
The guitar is completely anonymous and the voice is the most hateful and inconsistent thing you can hear nowadays.

Absolution is an album devoid of meaning starting with their first track "Intro."
They have proposed something unengaging, unoriginal, and that feels very fake.

It definitely deserves a score close to perfection, as those who, like me, are fans of the genre can only consider it as the best album recorded so far.
Absolution shows no traces of incongruity: the songs are perfectly arranged so as not to emphasize the gap between the two styles.

Listening to "Absolution" by Muse is like living in a dream, a sweet dream illuminated by the darkness of an impending apocalypse.
"Time Is Running Out" scratches your chest in sublime fashion, revealing the album's intense and unpredictable rhythm.
