On first listen it stinks on ice.

I think it's clear to hear that Muse have lost their... erm... Muse. Using a riff that has been played in live shows for the past ten years in a new single is the biggest sign yet that the creative well has truly dried up.

This album sounds like the last two Muse albums mushed together and watered down. The Queen rip off harmonies are bordering on nauseting now too.

Oh well. There's always the live shows.
