A Parisian
venue called Le Zenith is a suitable source for live recordings of
MUSEs exotic, sci-fi-gilded cyber-grunge. The effect is enhanced
when singer Matt Bellamy announces, "Bonsoir, Paree!" like
some angst-rock version of dear dead Larry Olivier. Such theatricality
is one of the elements that make MUSE such an audacious young guitar
band. They are as ridiculous as they are brilliant, something rammed
home on hysterical, Total War-dimensioned versions of Muscle Museum,
Space Dementia and Megalomania. |
