Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Muse

There is a school of wisdom among most Rock-n-Roll journalists that believe some Presidents should be put to sleep for the greater good of humanity. Maybe they are right for having such animosity toward shadow governments, police brutality and soulless killing machines. There is enough trouble and chaos to be terrified about without the notion of being vaporized in your own backyard by some military CIA Drone. Of course, that is just crazy talk and some hideous bogeyman flying around Chicago might get shot down buzzing around our airspace.

All things considered, Muse is probably one of the most respected British rock groups that may offer some nail-biting anxiety from their 7th studio release titled: Drones. Nevertheless, finding that right composition, mixing super-charged guitar riffs along with incorporating piano melodies has changed the game for this Grammy award winning power trio. “Dead Inside” begins with a solid dance groove and strange emotions of apathy. Other songs such as “Psycho”, “JFK”, and “Defector”, offer wild-eyed conspiracy theories and tales of evildoers trying to control the masses.

Their song, “Mercy”, truly shows the band’s talent as musical performers. This upbeat tempo blends Matt Bellamy’s soothing tone in his vocals as well as his lightly distorted guitar playing during this track. A rock piano style accompanies this melody, adding a somber feeling as the listener eases back to the steady bass drum tempo waiting for the men of shadows that run a gambit of fear. Even the music video for the song “Mercy” is outstanding, using Clones and Binary codes as a substantial backdrop that convey a message – that you are greater in numbers. This track is worth listening to over and over again.

Other members of Muse include, Chris Wolstenholme (bassist) and Dominic Howard (drums) have earned them an honorable position in 2012, with their hit song “Survival” at the Olympic games in London. Demonstrating a sure force of influence, Muse is using music as a weapon to defeat tyranny. For those who do not follow history, Estonia was abandoned by the world and defeated the Russian government by using music, impossible as this may seem when everything is lost, a singing revolution regained Estonia’s independence.

Muse has taken an additional standpoint with Drones and could encourage fans to secure freedom and shift the power back to the people against oppressed establishment. More importantly, we must join forces with Muse and end public brutality and put an end to all the pain and suffering in the world. With that said, we must fight the good fight for all humanity and preserve our freedom for future generations.
