Muse are a UK rock band with over 27 million records sold worldwide and a Grammy to their name.

“Citizen Erased,” from their second album Origin of Symmetry, kicks off with a noisy guitar sound and a loud ensemble that really ramps up the tension.

With its aggressive guitar solo and memorable arpeggios, it’s packed with highlights that guitar lovers will find themselves focusing on.

It’s a sprawling epic of over seven minutes, where the rapidly shifting arrangement creates a powerful impact.

Despite being a simple three-piece, MUSE has won widespread popularity with a unique, epic rock sound that pays no heed to passing trends.

Since releasing their debut album in 1999, the MUSE sound—driven by members with exceptional musicianship—has evolved with every new release, conquering charts not only in their native UK but also in the United States, and maintaining huge popularity worldwide, including Japan.

Their unstoppable run as the ultimate rock trio continues unabated into the 2020s.

Here, I’d like to introduce “Knights of Cydonia,” the closing track from their 2006 masterpiece Black Holes and Revelations, the album that first took MUSE into the U.

S.

Top 10.

It’s an anthemic number that only MUSE could create: a vast sonic landscape, dynamic rock power, overtly dramatic song structure, sing-along-ready melodies—packed with all the technical prowess the band commanded at the time.

Often performed as the final encore at their shows, just listening to the track can leave you with the same exhilaration as watching a feature film.

Muse – Stockholm Syndrome

It’s one of Muse’s earlier songs.

It features distinctive falsetto and a dark sound, but since it’s quite well-known, I feel like a lot of people like it.

Because of that, it’s always a hit at karaoke—I don’t think I’ve ever sung it without getting the crowd going.

It’s a masterpiece whose grand scale is truly moving.

From a quiet intro, the sound expands dramatically, sparking listeners’ imaginations and weaving countless stories.

The piece also became widely known through an animated work by Tekken, a comedian who is also active as an illustrator.

It suggests that stories touching on the joys and sorrows of life—those that strike a chord in the heart—resonate universally, transcending East and West.

A futuristic music video featuring former American football player and actor Terry Crews, who plays an athlete training under suspicious lighting, is particularly striking.

The direction was handled by film actor Lance Drake and film director Tom Teller.
