“Will Of The People”, the new album from “Muse”, is horrific in an absolutely fantastic way – panicked, garish, always fumbling close to populism. And to the end of the world.

So the rock star stood at the window of a studio in downtown Santa Monica, California, looked out at the world and saw it: on fire. With the pandemic sweeping mankind, Rich Costey, who produces the rock star’s band’s albums, handed him the keys and stormed off to Vermont. But the rock star didn’t want to flee. He wanted to persevere in the eye of the storm, wanted to feel his energy, absorb it, transform it into music – from here it gets a bit speculative, but not too much. So what does music mean making music Beyoncé or maybe too Metallica. The rock star writes hymns to the downfall. of souls. By people. Of states, systems, the earth. About himself: “I love being right in the middle of it.”
