5 stars 1. New Born for the overwhelming sound of the voice coupled with the linear piano, too simple to be imagined; for the guitar riff that follows and the obvious controlled violence, 6 minutes of delightful sound combining softness and hard, saturating and astonishing melody and revolt, a NIRVANA encore somewhere 2. Bliss for the layer of keyboards that made the prog-like at the time prick up their ears; the bass and this timeless pop rock melody, purely enjoyable 3. Space Dementia ... yes, MUSE simply does MUSE and copies itself; example with this classic arpeggio, just insane, easy, which suddenly bursts forth and holds its own against Matthew's voice; a captivating track mixing softness and energy, the finale with the keyboard that seems to tremble in the ears before the majestic classic outro; Prog rock at its finest, apocalyptic, emphatic, and electronically perfect. Put down the instruments and let the feedback do its work. 4. Hyper Music, or how three of them make the world rock scene explode; a consensual track with violence, a Jimi HENDRIX vibe, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, a new millennium fusion that doesn't hesitate to kick the bucket. 5. Plug In Baby for the electric guitar, not Mark Knopfler's, no, MUSE; Chris's bass, Dominic's drums, yes, let's mention them once, given their dexterity. On the verge of distortion, following the common thread of musicality, the video shows them alone, finally, with robotic mannequins, using the right side of things, like ZZ Top did in their time; a great moment. Come on, adjust the sound, no, it's coming from them, giant.

6. Citizen Erased surprises, dares to provoke the long track; A denoting heavy electro intro, the title that crescendoes, wildly invasive with its nostalgic organ of the time, the progressive slap with the progressive explosion of the sound that will flirt, get bogged down in this prog metal and give hope for a fusion of genres for decades to come; the ambient melancholic break, Matthew's voice ideal at this moment by provoking the melancholic variation 7. Micro Cuts in repeating encore for the advancement with the hypnotizing monolithic note, or how to move to a stage of ecstasy? Yes, the very soft voice that will swell with the riff and give a hellish rhythm, an obligatory passage making the signature of the band, from soft to raw, from melancholy to ecstasy 8. Screenager for this southern side that will swell with the voice and the piano, Matthew again giving a signature that his voice has greatly contributed to the recognition of the band to fame; A slow orgasmic rise that's worth it for this keyboard flooding the stirrups of our ears and gluing the anvil right against it, on the verge of contemplative saturation. 9. Dark Shines rides the western effect with the reverberating guitar, accentuated by the ultra-thundering bass; a track in the band's vein with Matthew who cries out in fits and starts, who advances with wolfish strings for the consensual title, yes, are we jaded or overwhelmed by this unique musical pattern? Come on, a little Andalusian, South American guitar solo? It looks like a violin, but the electric guitar knows how to be warm; final content. 10. Feeling Good for the album title if there were only one; in 3 minutes, how can you reach nirvana with the perfect crescendo title, this basic rise to a sexy bluesy tune, a groovy-erotic-musical charleston atmosphere; this variation with a megaphone increasing the heat, releasing a torrid sensation, a veritable torrent of musical lava. Short but excellent to deliver, Matthew is a genius 11. Megalomania and its electronic intro, TANGERINE DREAM I dare say; another solemn southern western tune, a crescendic rise, the signature of MUSE; the programmed Olympian explosion, musical enjoyment at its peak is there before you, the organ strikes the note and the flood of notes floods the ears, saturates them, bewitches them, magical.
