Muse Lyrics - Discography
Muse, an iconic English rock band hailing from Teignmouth, Devon, was formed in 1994. Consisting of the immensely talented trio of Matt Bellamy (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Chris Wolstenholme (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Dominic Howard (drums), the band has left an indelible mark on the music industry.
The release of their debut album, "Showbiz," in 1999 introduced the world to Muse's distinctive style, characterized by Bellamy's soaring falsetto vocals and a melancholic alternative rock sound. Their second album, "Origin of Symmetry" (2001), showcased their penchant for incorporating a wide range of instruments and romantic classical influences, captivating audiences with their energetic and captivating live performances. This album marked the beginning of their rise to fame, securing their reputation as a force to be reckoned with.
With their third album, "Absolution" (2003), Muse delved even deeper into the realm of classical influence, incorporating strings on tracks such as "Butterflies and Hurricanes." This release marked the start of a remarkable streak of seven consecutive UK number-one albums. In 2006, Muse released "Black Holes and Revelations," a masterful fusion of electronic and pop elements, exemplified by the hit single "Supermassive Black Hole." This album propelled the band to even greater international success.
Their subsequent albums, "The Resistance" (2009) and "The 2nd Law" (2012), explored thought-provoking themes of government oppression and civil uprising, solidifying Muse's status as one of the world's premier stadium acts. "Drones" (2015), their seventh album, returned to their harder rock roots and was a concept album centered around the topic of drone warfare. The band's eighth studio album, "Simulation Theory" (2018), pushed musical boundaries with prominent synthesizers and drew inspiration from science fiction and the simulation hypothesis. In August 2022, they released their ninth album, "Will of the People," which masterfully combined various genres and themes from their previous albums.
Muse's immense talent and artistic vision have earned them numerous accolades, including two Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards, five MTV Europe Music Awards, and eight NME Awards. In 2012, they were honored with the Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement by the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors. With over 30 million albums sold worldwide as of June 2016, Muse's impact on the music landscape is undeniable, and their music continues to captivate audiences around the globe.
