Stranger Things and Odder Stuff.

I can get many boos for this but here goes: we need more bands like Muse.

We cannot blame them for trying to renew themselves, they are shrewdly mixing SynthWave/Retro with their volcanic rock approach. I absolutely adore the RetroWave movement, for it's full embrace of the 80's is both refreshing and exciting...to me. It's not for the anti-nostalgia people. But kudos to them for surprising me with beatbox vocals (Propaganda), Tim Burtonesque keys (Break it to Me, Thought Contagion) and more.

We need more bands like Muse that throw modern textures to their sounds while being intelligently crafted. There is not much more to say about this: lots of grandeur, lots of colorful synths and typical futuristics Muse shennanigans. Not a perfect album, some songs could use more inspiration (Something Human sounding like Every Breath you Take) or just uninspired like Get Up and Fight....but nothing to spoil the party.

Ro�ksopp + Queen x (Blade Runner + Stranger Things) = fresh, unique and a mostly modern addition to your collection
