Album Notes & Community Reviews

Written in the wake of frontman Matt Bellamy's highly publicized separation, 'The Wow! Signal' marks the tenth full-length release from English trio Muse. Taking its title from a famous 1977 radio transmission, the record blends their signature theatricality with raw lyrical reflections on personal upheaval and cosmic isolation. Produced with assistance from Dan Lancaster and Aleks Von Korff, the project pushes their space-rock sound into slicker, modern territories while incorporating grandiose elements such as a guest appearance by Ellie Goulding on the track 'Hush'.
