Muse go full dystopian opera — Queen harmonies, Chopin quotes, a three-part symphony about humanity fleeing Earth. "Uprising" turned conspiracy paranoia into a glam-stomp hit, and "Undisclosed Desires" flirted with R&B to the fanbase's horror. Ridiculous, frequently magnificent, and completely committed to both.
