Genre: Alternative/Progressive

+

Track listing:
1. "Uprising" – 5:02
2. "Resistance" – 5:46
3. "Undisclosed Desires" – 3:56
4. "United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)" – 5:47
5. "Guiding Light" – 4:13
6. "Unnatural Selection" – 6:54
7. "MK Ultra" – 4:06
8. "I Belong to You (+Mon cœur s'ouvre Ã* ta voix)" – 5:38
9. "Exogenesis: Symphony Part 1 (Overture)" – 4:18
10. "Exogenesis: Symphony Part 2 (Cross-Pollination)" – 3:56
11. "Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3 (Redemption)" – 4:37

overall, while this is not their best album, i believe this album contains some of Muse's best work. the symphonic elements are mixed in flawlessly. Bellamy displays beautiful range, while Wolstenholme's slap bass and backing vocals tie the sound together very nicely. you can definitely hear some Queen influence in there as well, especially in "United States of Eurasia" The three part symphony at the end is absolutley brilliant.

bottom line: this album will please Muse fans, but still doesn't beat the experimentation and awesome riffing in Origin of Symmetry. to me, this is there second best album, behind OoS.

	Not sure what your game is, but copying posts from other forums and posting them here is a fail of epic proportions and it ends now. I am Sailor Muse! I stand for Prog, and I also stand for justice, and in the name of the Muse, I will punish you! Edited by Dean - August 08 2011 at 12:30
	What?

	Apart from tracks 9-11 its mostly pop music although of a slight classier kind. Absolution is their best album with a much darker oppressive feel to it. That was when a lot of music magazines were talking about them in prog terms.Black Holes and Revelations was a bit of a mixture of pop and proggier stuff. They seemed to be having an identity crisis. The Resistance is very much embracing their pop side although they sensibly set aside a corner of the album for Matt Bellamy to indulge himself. Not sure I like it though.

	Yes there are good Muse songs but calling them progressive is an insanity
