THE 2ND LAW

I've only gotten into Muse within the last couple years, so I don't have the perspective of a longtime fan, but I'll try to put this album in context as much I can. This album is a departure from their usual work, but that is the nature of any prog rock band. Prog constantly evolves, for better or for worse, but it is always growing and adapting. Muse incorporates electronica and dubstep influences here. While this may seem shocking, Muse is evolving with the times. No matter what you think of it, dubstep is wildly popular these days. Muse uses dubstep here sparingly, so it really enhances the music, I think. If you open your mind, you'll hear some really thought-provoking music and lyrics. Muse never fails to deliver lyrically. If you're willing to try something new, check this out. You'll find something to appreciate, I guarantee it.
