Album Of The Day: The 2nd Law by Muse

Album Art of Muse's The 2nd Law album - On a black background, a colorful 3-D illustration of the human brain's neural connections/pathways, with different parts in different colors of the rainbow. In the top left, on the black background is the band's logo, the band's name surrounded by black bars on the top and bottom. Below it is printed 'The 2nd Law', each word on its own line, with the first being more white and the second two being more progressively red.

British rock band Muse has been making music for 25-30 years now, and this is their 6th album. Their first few albums were much more rock-heavy, but this album and the one before has a lot of rock though it definitely also has its share of pop, electronic and even classical elements. I love the epic bass/synth lines on "Madness", but other songs are energetic rock songs with a bit of a dramatic flair. I honestly haven't listened to their newer albums since this one much, but I definitely like all their earlier releases and they're a solid, entertaining rock band with a message of chaos and societal collapse and a futuristic, sci-fi edge.
