ON CD: The 2nd Law by MUSE

Anytime anyone says that there are no good bands coming out anymore, I always think of MUSE and tell then they are wrong. This British trio put out their sixth studio album THE 2ND LAW a couple months ago.

The track list:
1. Supremacy
2. Madness
3. Panic Station
4. Survival (Prelude)
5. Survival
6. Follow Me
7. Animals
8. Explorers
9. Big Freeze
10. Save Me
11. Liquid State
12. The 2nd Law: Unsustainable
13. The 2nd Law: Isolated System
When the record starts, it kicks off HARD with Supremacy. The guitar riff puts you in a mindset ready for a heavy album. Then throws you off when it eases into the electronic sounds of Madness, and further with the funk of Panic Station.

These guys in Muse are clearly very talented musicians with this album of eclectic music. they go from one style to another expertly. The songs are beautiful and nicely polished. And, well, what is there to say? It's great! I think the big surprise would be the two songs that bassist Chris Wolstenholme sings on near the end of the record. It's noticeable but not in a bad way. It's still good, just different.

If you like Muse, or like what you've heard from The 2nd Law on the radio, you won't be let down by the entire record. A very impressive recording!

You can find it on AMAZON.
