Episode 64 - ‘Praise For Absolution’
Muse’s third album, ‘Absolution’, presents us with everything that worked for ‘Origin Of Symmetry’, but elevated to the next level!
The genius of Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme is on display as electronic soundscapes, symphonic elements and classically inspired passages are combined with Hard Rock to give us this innovative record that didn’t necessarily introduce new musical concepts, but helped redefine the possibilities within Alternative Rock.
Join us as we reflect on the legacy of ‘Absolution’ and its impact on Muse's career and how they established and implemented a signature sound whilst combining so many musical elements!
