Album DescriptionAvailable in:

“Black Holes and Revelations” es el cuarto álbum de Muse, lanzado en 2006 y producido por Rich Costey entre Francia, Italia y Nueva York.
El disco mezcla funk, electrónica, glam y ciencia política. Es como si George Orwell y David Bowie hubieran hecho un disco juntos en Marte.
Temas como “Supermassive Black Hole”, “Knights of Cydonia” y “Starlight” combinan paranoia futurista y romanticismo galáctico. Las letras hablan de conspiraciones, control global y resistencia.
El sonido es exuberante: sintetizadores anchos, bajos que vibran como agujeros negros, guitarras que suenan a rayos láser.
Fue un éxito global, y convirtió a Muse en banda de culto masivo, algo que parece contradictorio… y sin embargo, perfectamente natural en ellos.
User Album Review
Muse finally shake off those last pesky inhibitions that inhibited 2003's Absolution. Not content with merely mixing classical piano, skin blistering guitars and operatic structures, we now get shimmering synths and what can only be described as prog techno.
Black Holes And Revelations is a superlative stretching album: audacious, inflamed and utterly unashamed of its own ambition. It's also sonically exhilarating.The beats of "Take A Bow" shudder on the speakers as Matt Bellamy wails "You will burn, you will burn" at an un-named world leader, who may well be initialled GWB.
From this modest opening, the album only accelerates and ascends, taking in Muse's most heartfelt love song yet (the gorgeous, expansive "Starlight"), mind blowing mutant space funk ("Supermassive Black Hole") and amphetamine techno-rock ("Assassin"). At times it's the silliest thing you'll ever hear. Often it's the best. Muse just became Britain's most exciting band.
