Muse's best album is the one where the paranoia found tunes to match: "Knights of Cydonia" gallops a spaghetti-western apocalypse into arenas, "Supermassive Black Hole" discovers funk, and "Map of the Problematique" out-Depeches Depeche Mode. Black Holes is absurd, sleek and irresistible — peak conviction, peak craft.

About
Black Holes and Revelations is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Muse, released on 3 July 2006. Recording was split between New York and France, and it was the first time Muse had taken a more active role in the album's production. The album was a change in style from Muse's previous albums, and the band cited influences that included Depeche Mode, Millionaire, Lightning Bolt, Sly and the Family Stone, and music from southern Italy. Black Holes and Revelations was placed at #34 in a public vote conducted by Q Magazine for "The Best British Albums of all time" in February 2008. Like their previous two albums, Black Holes and Revelations has political and science-fiction undertones, with the lyrics covering topics as varied as political corruption, alien invasion, revolution, New World Order conspiracies as well as more conventional love songs. The album gets its name from a lyric in the song "Starlight", "Our hopes and expectations are black holes and revelations".
