Kid A
was the best thing that could have happened to fast-rising Devon trio
MUSE. Frontman Matt Bellamy still bears a startling vocal resemblance
to Thom Yorke but this is savagely energetic enough to dispel those
pesky Radiohead comparisons. Exhilaratingly fast and noisy with a
kingsize chorus, it comes with a fistful of bonus tracks. CD1 offers
Nature_1, a concoction of tribal drums and flamenco guitar, the ferocious
nu-metal thrash of Execution Commentary and the impressive Plug In
Baby video. CD2 adds the tense, gothic Spiral Static and Spanish guitar
instrumental Bedroom Acoustics. On this evidence, their as yet unfinished
second album should be suitably explosive. |
