its sick dude, shoutout to change on the forums for bringing it to meh atention

pretty colors. im assuming muse are supporters of homosexuality?

awesome

ya the resistance my B

Pretty cool artwork IMO

it's like they're deliberately lowering my expectations

It's pretty cool, though, Titan

awesome

is that Matt Bellamy in the middle

Kicks major assage.

im diggin it yo

I wonder what it meeeeeeeeeeeansss

it's too different from the rest of their art, i'd expect it from an electronic group, not Muse

Actually it looks a lot like their singles/B-side album covers, so I'd expect it from Muse

Invincible is my favorite: http://dic.academic.ru/pictures/enwiki/73/Invincible_cover.jpg
(not saying it looks like this one)

I like that. A lot.

wtf guys, it smells like poopoo

thats squidward!

:-)

Pretty sweet cover doods

Bad to the bone. I can't wait to hear the whole album.


And dischord, Waior's avatar is Jenna Fischer, from The Office.

Interesting art, but i'm really not enjoying the first two songs atm, hoping the rest will as cool as the cover...

album will suck

nice

love the cover, but the album will be nothing special.

Album will include cover of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Record will be hyped by UK mainstream listeners convinced they're listening to the dawn of a new musical age complete with the most technical instrumentation known to man.

Record will be 4 at best with some good songs and some very pretentious structures.

Muse will once again be touted as the world's best rock band by the UK media, I will get angry and go cry in a corner because they haven't done anything wholly worthwhile since Absolution.

fail

I like it

Looks great, if you don't like the first two songs released, just listen for Unnatural Selection (heavy rock song with solos ala OoS) and the symphony off of the album and you will be pleased.

"Record will be 4 at best with some good songs and some very pretentious structures."

It's a good thing you know all of this ahead of time. Anyways, album art rules, and people continue to hate on Muse for some unknown reason.

or people continue to love muse for some unknown reason

muse is legit

Muse are amazing. I don't see why people don't like them.

^Because sputnik loves to hate what's popular. This album cover art is amazing though. 2009 has produced some sweet album art so far.

album will suck

Bright light... Bright light.

Artwork is spectacular.

Hopefully the album is the same.

now THAT is some crazy artwork!

It's a good thing you know all of this ahead of time.

ELEVENTY exactly!

Album art is pretty swell though.

Albums should always have awesome covers.

Sadly the album's cover will be better than the actual album.

Reminds me of Super Mario Galaxy...

I have a feeling a lot of people who don't like Uprising or USoE will not like Undisclosed Desires either because Matt doesn't play guitar or piano in the song and the only instruments are drum machines, slap bass, and "Timbaland inspired" vocals. This album should be interesting to listen to from start to end.

What I don't get is why people are complaining about the album when we only have two songs to go by. It would be like judging OoS off of just Feeling Good and Screenager, you just can't.

That fact is this album starts with an British Prog Pop song, and then ends with a supposedly chaotic and off the wall symphony. And all we have for a clue between is USoE, which was a bit of a comedic light hearted approach to a more serious problem, that being the world. So in a sense, we really know nothing about the album, where it goes, what happens. So relax, wait for the album as a whole, and stop being so upset this isn't Hysteria part 2 or Stockholm Resistance. Do not write off Muse, because I highly doubt they will disappoint.

Confirms my above point ; )

haha

Ha, wish it came out August 14th.

And on the Muse main page where you rate the albums, it says it comes out August 14th as well.

didn't arghoslent already do this one?

A little too colorful for me, but I like the little path running down the middle.


...Could swear I was getting close to quoting Monty Python.

Looks pretty good. Don't have very high expectations for the album, though.

They are pretty good.

Ugh I'm not a fan. I don't like anything from this new album so far

BHaR has had the coolest album art so far in my opinion, but they've all been good.

Except this.

I can't wait to hear these really pretentious structures. I'm going to sneer and post on Sputnik so much!

Art is kind of meh.

Yeah guys, calm down. This album rules.

And I know BECAUSE I AM MATTHEW BELLAMY.
FEAR ME.

"I can't wait to hear these really pretentious structures. I'm going to sneer and post on Sputnik so much!"

...no

This is the best album art they've done so far. Their new single isn't that good... maybe it will grow in time. Still, I think the album will be awesome.

^^

I think it's the worst.

How the hell is it the worst? OoS' was pretty bad, and Absolution's and KoC's just sucked.

All their artwork has been great, minus Showbiz which was just okay.

They really haven't had any bad album art. I would take this one over Showbiz.

As far as album art goes, without considering singles, b-sides, live DVDs:

OoS > BHaR > Absolution > The Resistance > Showbiz

Their covers were rather average. But this... this is awesome.

Agreed.

best album art ive seen a while, awesomeness.

this is so cool.
hope this is better than their last one.
