Knights of Cydonia

This reminds me so much of when my then 48yo mum got addicted to Guitar Hero, and we all screamed when she cleared this on Expert lmao

Interesting fact for those who aren't space nerds: Cydonia is a region in the northern hemisphere of Mars! Mars, of course, being all dusty, is a cowboy's ideal environment

Come ride with me Through the veins of history I'll show you a God Falls asleep on the job And how can we win, When fools can be kings Don't waste your time Or time will waste you No one's going to take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive No one's going to take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive No one's going to take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive

Space rock is a beautiful piece of audible art. It's literally a bridge between tech music and rock, with Muse placing the bricks.

Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, that opening guitar riff is legendary.

My absolute favourite Muse song, this is six minutes of unadulterated epicness.

The perfect song for going on a country wide road trip while collecting pieces of jesus’ corps with Gyro Zeppilli

I made a D&D campaign based on this song, it's a tale on how giant gods live in mars and the players were gonna have to use eluvians to get relics and open a portal to Cydonia Mensae

Don't waste your time or time will waste you Man, what a line.

I always imagine this to be the song set to the opening of some epic futuristic neo-western animated series with lasergun-hand cannon wielding cowboys and a monocle wearing villain doing epic gunfights and stuff

This song is incredible. After the vocals mid song (where majority of instruments cut out for the two verses), it just gives me chills.

Badass anti-fascist space western is now my favorite genre.

“See you, Space Cowboy . . . “

guitar hero 3 the struggle is real

This album has a perfect opener and perfect finisher, applause

From my own perspective, phenomenal music is music that you can go back to at any time and still like it just as much as you did day one, without any power of nostalgia. For me, this is one of these and you managed to create dozens of other gems, it's insane. I love your music Muse, with true non bias appreciation of what you do. And hearing your fresh stuff just affirms me that you always be great.

Apparently this song is great to eat peanut butter out of the jar to

Such a classic Matthew Bellamy has some of the craziest guitar work ive heard a supremely talented band

The Youtube algorithm has become scarily smart. I programmed Ennio Morricon's "Good the Bad and the Ugly theme" into my playlist, then it recommended Ah-Ha's "A View to a Kill" theme, which starts with a Morricone-like riff, and then recommended this futuristic western-style tune with hints of Morricone.

This is peak Muse. It doesn’t get better than this.
