Album Notes & Community Reviews

Muse embraces their most bombastic tendencies on 'The Resistance', a rock opera influenced by George Orwell's '1984'. The album features Queen-esque vocal harmonies, heavy synthesizers, and a three-part symphony. It is ambitious, over-the-top, and unapologetically grand.
