Muse are the greatest British rock heretics of the new century. When they first cast strange and exhilarating shadows over the musical landscape at the tail end of the 90s, the cultural orthodoxy was not looking for an audacious, ambitious, heavy neo-classical metalcorepunk hyper-rock band, with a precocious, vocally soaring, 22 year old singer, apparently fallen from a distant galaxy. The times were seeking familiar, dependable sounds.
It's about time there was an English rock band that was bold enough to be a rock band and not hide behind old established genres or self-consciousness.
