Ranking Black Holes And Revelations – Muse

The problem with Black Holes And Revelations is that there’s Knights Of Cydonia and there’s everything else. That song is so obviously the highlight that nothing else comes close. The singles are good and it’s a thoroughly consistent album, but fewer of the non-singles stand out as much as non-singles from other albums. The band finally overcome their habit of putting a shitty song in the last position, over-compensating perhaps by putting their best song in that spot. They still have not overcome the dreary, slow ballads – but thankfully there’s only a single culprit in Soldier’s Poem.

1. Knights Of Cydonia
2. Starlight.
3. Map Of The Problematique.
4. Exo Politics.
5. Assassin.
6. City Of Delusion.
7. Invincible.
8. Take A Bow.
9. Supermassive Black Hole.
10. Hoodoo.
11. Soldier’s Poem.
