Perennially popular Muse are back with the second single from their 2006 album Black Holes and Revelations. Entering the UK Singles chart at #38, this might not be a song with mainstream appeal, but is it still up to Muse's usual high standards?
While it perhaps lacks the catchiness demanded of a chart topper, Starlight is a very accomplished song, coupling an effective melody with slick production in the normal Muse vein (the cover art is particularly nice, with a 7" picture disc to boot).
Altogether, recommended - although I feel most people will buy the album rather than the single in this case.
A thoroughly pleasant song with all of Muse's flair
What next?More by Muse? More reviews? More indie, or rock?
