Album Of The Day: Black Holes & Revelations by Muse

Album Art of Muse's Black Holes And Revelations album - On some red, rocky soil with an expansive, red-colored rocky valley behind them and a blue sky with just a bit of clouds in it, four men are sitting around a wooden table on wooden chairs. All four men are bald and/or have very short hair, the left one having religious symbols on his white jacket and is wearing some sort of cybernetic device on his head. The man in the front is wearing a suit coat that has large eyes all over it. The person in the back has a jacket with mirrors attached all over the outside. And the person on the right has a bright gold jacket. On the table, a few small horses are galloping from the right side. In the sky above, a planet that looks like Earth can be seen as well as a moon near it.

Released 20 years ago this past July, this is the fourth studio album by English rock band Muse. I think it's still my favorite album of theirs; it's a non-stop, 45-minute journey of rock music with a futuristic, dystopian feel. Matt Bellamy's lyrics about fighting the patriarchy and exploring space are sung so passionately, and the band's guitars, drum and bass are so creative. "Starlight", "Supermassive Black Hole" and "Invincible" are some favorites from this, but the whole thing is really worth a listen. The album ends with "Knights Of Cydonia", an epic, six-minute battle song for the future. If you are looking for some creative modern rock and have never checked out Muse, I highly recommend this album.
