'TIME IS RUNNING OUT'
If there's a more intelligent rock band around, we haven't heard them
Forget the fact that Matt Bellamy seems unhealthily obsessed with
cementing his legacy as a latter day prog king. Just concentrate on
the latest example of Muse's burgeoning class.
Because whatever his ultimate aim turns out to be, Muse always
counterbalance the excessive (indulgent lengthy album wig-outs)
with the sublimely simple (three-minute 'pop' hits). 'Origins Of
Symmetry' had 'Plug In Baby' and 'New Born' and now they've gone
one better with their new LP, grandly titled 'Absolution'.
Propped up by a snaking fuzzy bass, Westside Story clicking fingers
and some off-kilter drumming, 'Time Is Running Out' is about nothing
in particular but screams sinister sophistication and wily pop nous.
Stop the clock, it's addictive stuff.
九分。
