The album in question is Muse's debut album Showbiz (not to be confused with the Florida based Muse, who have since changed their name to Myooz [ahem, Sonicnet]).
The song is one of the 12 desolate, spine-tingling swells of emotion that make up Showbiz (out Sept. 28), a record which is packed with quite an affected fervor for three lads (all around the tender age of 20) from a seaside town in the south of England.
Despite Muse's undeniable talent and Showbiz' unavoidable catchiness, the band is currently fighting off a wave of comparative accusations, namely the one which outs Muse as carbon copies of another band with similar dynamics, Radiohead.
