The 2nd Law
WHEN you’re one of the top rock bands on the planet, what do you do when it’s time to make a sixth album? Letting the bass player sing and write a couple of numbers, while stretching to new directions which don’t alienate your existing (massive) fan base is exactly what Muse have done with this new platter. Bassist Chris Wolstenholme does a fine job on his two songs, Save Me and Liquid State, contrasting well with frontman Matt Bellamy. The stridency of the Olympics single Survival fits in with the overall tone, when heard in this context,, rather than in isolation.
