Time Is Running Out
Since I finally got the new Dandy Warhols CD today, not to mention Damien Rice's album "O"..I had to find a new album to be released sometime in the future which I could get extremely too excited about. I succeeded by a few trial and error trips to my favorite artists' respective websites.
I'd like to here and now let everyone not in the UK know that Muse's new album "(Sing of) Absolution" will be coming out sometime in September 22. I heard the new single, saw the video for the new single, and am convinced enough to go ahead and a priori say that this will be the seminal rock album of the year.
If you have not heard of Muse, that's cool. By some fluke chance I happened to "acquire" their cd "Origin Of Symmetry" sometime a year and a half ago, and quickly it rose to the top of Mark Miller's "Play it 12 times a day" list. Thus I became intimately similar with the intricate beauty of this band which is somehow a mixture of the operatic drama rock of Queen, the hard pulsing stuff of Nirvana, and the indie sensibilities of every other band I like.
What's more, the video for this first single combines the greatness of Muse with a setting obviously taken from one of my top 2 movies of all time, "Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb" which is nearly as exciting as the fact that The Dandy Warhols entitled their album after a Kurt Vonnegut Jr. book/TV Series, Welcome To The Monkey House.
Incredible!
