Album DescriptionAvailable in:

Black Holes and Revelations (2006) est le quatrième album studio du groupe de rock Muse, enregistré entre New York et la France.
Marqué par une implication accrue du groupe dans la production, cet opus opère un virage stylistique influencé par des artistes tels que Depeche Mode, Sly and the Family Stone ou la musique du sud de l'Italie.
Les thématiques mêlent science-fiction et politique, abordant la corruption, les invasions extraterrestres et les théories du complot, tout en incluant des chansons d'amour plus conventionnelles.
Son titre est tiré d'une parole du morceau « Starlight ».
En 2008, l'album a été classé 34e meilleur album britannique de tous les temps par les lecteurs de Q Magazine.
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.
