New Muse album, new inspiration? Don't wait for the kiss of the Muse. Buy the lady a drink. If you can't find constant inspiration, you suck as an artist. No, nobody feels sorry about that, either. Let's investigate. Opening track "Supremacy" starts out with an intriguing-albeit predictable introductory pattern, and the magic is kind of blamed by a banshee's undisciplined index finger when you find yourself in orthodox 4/4 pummeling with virtually meaningless platitude orchestra miming the hologram-riches of musical thought. By 2:11, the fronter already had expressed one of his trademark dramatic introductory lullabies, and THEN the chorus reveals itself as yet another variant on the same thought field the ensemble already has channeled from via their previous offering. Remember their song "Revolution"? Now it is time to "destroy UUUUUR Supremacy". Same effin deal, really, only, the opening track is less muscular this time. AND who is the enemy? The Illuminati, of course! Take heed and bear witness to the poor Illuminati, they get sooo destroyed by popular culture every day of the year, you know. At 2:37, the album showcases its most frightening affectation, and that is a constant winking towards threshold-level spaghetti western sentiments. Oh come on. Read on to know more about the other tracks, too.
