Thing is I'm always like "wat" when a new Muse single comes out these days but then after a couple of listens I start to realise there is lot of fairly inventive stuff going on and it is hard not to get stuck into it, because they get quite catchy. That's a kind of contemporary progressive pop rock or something.
I've felt that way since Supermassive Black Hole and at that juncture I started to expect something different from Muse every album and so I maintain a sort of alternative timeline from that and whatever they were doing (and still come back to in at least a few songs per album) with the grunge/alternative/post-rock/hard rock of Showbiz/OOS/Absolution.
I don't think anyone could deny Muse are incredible live and that's what they have always been about. They do take risks in the studio and in my view that's good.
Doing the same thing for a band coming on 30 years now would be miserable for them. Won't Stand Down is a huge track that ticks a lot of boxes. They habitually release a single to strawberry float with everyone for each album - for Simulation Theory (which I overall really enjoyed) that was Something Human.
Edit:
This is a pretty sick amalgamation of everything they've done for about the past 15 years - and it's heavy as strawberry float in sections.
