The Resistance - Muse Reviews

Muse's fifth proper album is an "interesting" album on first listen. Overblown in every song, with little sign of a classic such as Plug In Baby or Hysteria, and an overindulgence in Queen sounding guitars and harmonies, led to an album that was a dissapointment to me. But, after a few more listens I found myself going with ...  Read the complete review

The Resistance is the album title for British rock band Muse's 5th studio album. The album, if a little different in style to Muse's four previous albums (Showbiz, Absolution, Origin of Symmetry and Black Holes and Revelations) is probably my favorite Muse album so far. It contains eleven tracks, and my personal favorites are probably Uprising, ...  Read the complete review

THE RESISTANCE is the title of British indie rock band MUSE's album. The album contains 11 tracks which I will review. The opening song UPRISING is a really powerful starter with fantastic instrumental work. The vocals are great while the lyrics at the chorus are intense though very catchy. RESISTANCE is a cracking track ...  Read the complete review

It' s not often a moment of brilliance comes across you and smacks you in the face, leaving you utterly gobsmacked. Here is one such time. As a fan of Muse, I was expecting this to be good, but there is a difference between this and the average Muse record. This is everything good about them, rolled into one. This is their first album where there ...  Read the complete review

Over the years, many bands have come and gone, have stayed the same and died out, but none have ever reinvented themselves to stay alive as much as Muse have. After the critical acclaim from their previous work, Black Holes and Revelations, one wondered where else Muse could take us to further broaden the spectrum of music they ...  Read the complete review

Muse have never been an average run of the mill rock band, but with this album, the band have ventured into uncharted territory. The Resistance is a concept album based upon George Orwell's classic novel: Nineteen Eighty-four. However, it probably cannot be classed entirely as a concept album, more just an album with a very unsubtle overtones of ...  Read the complete review

This is the fifth and new album from one of my favourite band operating today, and was released in September of this year. I feel that this album grows on you more than say absolution which has many immediately obviously great tracks. This album has some real gems on it however, and whilst there are obvious elements of heavy influence from bands ...  Read the complete review

The Resistance by Muse is a great example of a band creating and experimenting with their sound. Instead of writing an album which sounds pretty much the same as the previous album (which i think too many bands waste their times doing) they have expanded their style and encorperated many different genres. I think this works because although it ...  Read the complete review

I was wondering when the new album is going to come out. This album did not disappoint me at all. The title might have been fortunate to be called 'The Resistance' since I really could not resist buying this straight away. The first thing that I liked about is the cover art; a man in front of a multi-coloured circular ball/globe(?). It ...  Read the complete review

Love them or hate them, there is no doubting Muse's position at the very pinnacle of British rock music at the moment. The Resistance, the Devon rocker's fifth studio album, sold 148000 copies in the UK in it's first week of release, topped the charts in 19 European counties and reached Number 3 in America. The album has influences ...  Read the complete review

It's a sign of the length of the suggestions process on Dooyoo at the mo that I have had to wait this long to write a review of this album, but it's also in Muse's favour. You see, I listened to the album a couple of times and really didn't like it, so much so that I was almost penning the review in my head. However, in the last few weeks I have ...  Read the complete review

The mighty Muse are back with their 5th studio album and I love it! A lot of people are saying they really think that Muse have gone downhill, but I have been a fan from the beginning and I think they just keep getting better and better! The album kicks off with the big beats of UPRISING then moves on to the title track, ...  Read the complete review

After a staggering amount of success with their fourth studio album 'black holes and revolutions' world dominating rockers 'MUSE' took time out away from their usual scene in Italy to record and produce their brand new 5th studio album titled 'The Resistance'. The album was recorded in 'Studio Belini' in Italy so the band could write ...  Read the complete review

Devon rockers Muse are back with their fifth album after a wait of 3 years after the very successful Black Holes and Revelations album. There was a lot of anticipation for this album, it was the first album that Muse produced themselves and they raised the hype by speaking of the three part symphony and the fact that this would be their hardest ...  Read the complete review
