Musical style

Black Holes and Revelations marks a significant departure from the styles of previous albums, and features a wide variety of alternative musical themes. The album is primarily alternative hard rock, and the first track, "Take a Bow", uses a similar intense, dramatic rock sound to the previous album, Absolution. Later tracks, especially "Starlight", described by one reviewer as "an ABBA gig on the moon",[6] follow a more mainstream album-oriented rock sound[7] which contrasts strongly with the funk rock, post-disco style of first single "Supermassive Black Hole".[5] Other tracks follow the intense style of earlier Muse albums, but the final track, "Knights of Cydonia", described by one reviewer as a "spaced-out intergalactic epic",[8] combines elements of surf rock[6][9] and the progressive rock that are more reminiscent of earlier Muse albums, to create a song which Bellamy describes as "pushing the epic side of the band to almost comical levels".[10] Alternative music redirects here. ...

Lyrical content

Black Holes and Revelations has a strong political[11] theme that follows the earlier albums and marks a new direction for the band. It often describes the more controversial elements of this topic, including "unjustifiable war, abusive power, conspiratorial manipulation and populist revolt",[10] and is strongly influenced by the conspiracy theories that are popular amongst the band.[12] Matt Bellamy stated that he finds "the unknown in general a stimulating area for the imagination",[10] and this interest is reflected throughout the album, which features alien invasion (in "Exo-Politics")[11] and rebellious paranoia (particularly during "Assassin").[13] The album also includes more emotional themes, including regret, ambition[13] and love,[9] again reflecting the romantic style of earlier albums. For other uses, see Conspiracy theory (disambiguation). ...


The title "Black Holes and Revelations", taken from lyrics in "Starlight", is explained by Matthew Bellamy in his September 2006 interview for Q Magazine: "Black holes and revelations -- they're the two areas of songwriting for me that make up the majority of this album. A revelation about yourself, something personal, something genuine of an everyday nature that maybe people can relate to. Then the black holes are these songs that are from the more... unknown regions of the imagination."[14] Matthew James Bellamy (born June 9, 1978 in Cambridge, England) is the lead singer, guitarist and pianist of the Alternative/Progressive Rock group Muse, known for his falsetto voice and guitar/piano playing ability. ...

Album art

The album's artwork, designed by Storm Thorgerson[11] (The Man of Mistery on the album booklet), depicts a red landscape resembling the surface of Mars. Four men are seated around a table with three miniature horses on it.[15] Faintly in the sky behind the figures, one can see the planet Earth and its moon. The setting is thought to signify Cydonia, and the connection with horses a reference to knights, explaining the title of "Knights of Cydonia."[11] The knights are also believed to represent the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, from the Book of Revelation in the New Testament of the Bible, with their horses of four different colors.[16] The iconic cover of Pink Floyds album The Dark Side of the Moon. ...

Critical reaction

Black Holes and Revelations has been met with generally favorable reviews from the media, with Q stating it to be "one of the year's best albums and Planet Sound naming it 'Album of the year 2006'."[17] Many critics also noted how the band have taken a more original, progressive style of rock music different from their Radiohead-esque debut Showbiz.[18] Pitchfork's Sam Ubl, however, gave the album a 4.2 rating, claiming that Muse, "always loveably lame...managed to take a turn for the lamer."[19] The album was placed third in the NME Albums of the Year list for 2006.[20] Q is a music magazine published monthly in the United Kingdom, with a circulation of 140,282 and a readership of 731,000. ...
