Review

"Black Holes and Revelations," Muse's game-changing fourth album, dropped in 2006 and totally flipped their style on its head. This masterpiece, produced by Rich Costey, blends everything from electrifying electronica to Prince vibes and straight-up pop, creating an incredibly powerful and epic sound. The band dives deep into dystopian politics, war, and history's cycles, with tracks covering political corruption, alien invasions, and even love.

Talk about a killer lineup—this album flaunts 11 tracks including the iconic "Supermassive Black Hole," the legendary "Knights of Cydonia," and the heart-thumping "Starlight." It didn't just turn heads; it blew minds, earning a Mercury Prize nomination and a spot in the 2007 edition of "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die." Plus, it crushed it commercially, selling over 4.5 million copies globally and grabbing quadruple platinum status in the UK and platinum in the US. Muse's unique recording sessions in NYC, London, Milan, and southern France, incorporating cool new instruments like the buchla synthesizer and trumpet, only add to this album's innovative edge. - Ava
