Muse
The 2nd Law

The Second Law that gives the name to the album, contrary to what has been said, is the Second Law of Evoking the Dead, known to most by the motto "Don't count your chickens before they hatch." It is, in truth, a proverb known for centuries and coined by the Druids, focusing on the fact that when you evoke a spirit (belonging to a deceased or even a living being), you must know how to manage it and prevent it from becoming a loose cannon.

The new line up of Muse features the daring Bubu of Yosemite Park on drums, Ines Sastre on bass, and Glenn-Peter Stromberg on vocals and guitar. The old band members are hung and gagged like salami in Dexter Holland's cellar in Pasadena. The album delights us immediately with "Supremacy", a cover of the old Muse, in which you can hear Bellamy's sampled falsetto only at the end. NB "Sampled falsetto" is not equivalent to 'distorted sample'. They are two very different things, despite the presence of Andrea Pirlo on keyboards in the second verse being misleading. The subsequent "Madness" is a mere commercial operation: the song was written 117 years ago by Bram Stoker, a famous stutterer, and in fact, the original title was MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMA, the text also preserved as a secondary version. It was a poem dedicated to Mrs. Stoker, Bram's mother, who every evening used to terrify him with stories about strange creatures of the night transforming into bloodthirsty and violent beings (thus causing his stutter). In this Muse version, it is the spirit of Freddy Mercury that possesses the vocalist, while the guitar is evidently played by the very disturbed spirit of Brian May. It seems during the solo, Bubu shouted at him "A cojone, what does the solo of I want to break free have to do with this?!" However, the record executives liked it and kept it. FUN FACT: the text clearly reprises "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga, doubling its strength from MAMMAMAMMA to what is reported above.

"Panic Station" represents the true turning point of the new Muse, which in this case makes use of rich guests: David Bowie on accordion, Shakira on drums, and John Deacon of Queen on bass, who arrived to support his former band but, as always, arrived late. It seems during the recording Bubu shouted at him "A cojone, what on earth does the riff of Another one bites the dust have to do with this?! " But the record executives liked it and kept it. FUN FACT: it seems that Justin Bieber vomited on stage while his band jokingly played this song.

"Prelude" is definitely the best track on the album, in which all musicians show their skill and their true soul. It's a cover of ANTE GLORIAM by Giuseppe Verdi, and it is dedicated to the Unity of Italy, a land dear to Muse, who regularly frolic with hundreds of northern groupies. It arrives over a year late because it is the essence of a 47-minute suite. Unfortunately, here the album markedly deteriorates, tending towards an objective but optimistic rating between -15 and -27. "Follow me" is a delusion of grandeur on the part of Bellamy, before being beaten to death and trussed up. The record executives liked it. At this point, I suspect these record executives don't understand a blessed thing.

"Animals" is instead a cover of the Pink Floyd, from the homonymous album, in which the new Muse have paid tribute to the historic band by completely changing music, lyrics, melody, notes, duration, rhythms, arpeggios, solfeggi, farts, making it so different that this title seems to be a genuine blasphemy. "Explorers" is a track by Sade, it is unclear how it ended up in this album. Personally, I suspect the usual record executives. "Liquid State" is the last astonishing effort from the vocalist, as he finally DIES and hands over the next two songs to the powerful and brilliant voice of the Count of Wolfenstein, owner of Stenhome and the transfer card of Eto'O. It seems that Lady Gaga vomited on stage when her band jokingly started playing this song. The last two tracks ("Unsustainable" and "Isolated System") are instrumental tracks that, due to the absence of excessive nonsense, are unjustly considered the most beautiful tracks on the album.

The only true thing is that "Unsustainable" is the concept that fully expresses the meaning of this album.

COLORED NOTE: I kindly ask the MASTERS of DEBASER to stop boycotting my enlightened mental wanderings, or I will proceed to the aforementioned cellar in Pasadena and send each of you an embalmed MUSE.
