Signal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I should not have been concerned, however, because what greeted my ears was nothing short of five minutes of Muse at their absolute best.\u00a0 Opening with a guitar riff that immediately brings \u2018Plug In Baby\u2019 to mind, we\u2019re then assaulted with the meatiest of drums and the magnificent Muse bass sound.\u00a0 <strong>Matt Bellamy<\/strong>\u2018s vocals are fantastic in this, up and down, meandering through the thick, dark forest of the rhythm section, punctuated, as ever, with his trademark falsetto.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nobody on this planet who can make a bass guitar sound like <strong>Chris Wolstenholme<\/strong>\u2018s insane, cell-rattling tones.\u00a0 One minute a stalking bass-panther, the next a head-bang-inducing sledgehammer, it\u2019s then capped off with a divine riff in the last minute, mirroring Bellamy\u2019s guitar.\u00a0 <strong>Dom Howard<\/strong> is punching out some of the best drumming of his life in \u2018Cryogen\u2019, going head-to-head with Wolstenholme\u2019s bass in a phenomenal low-end dance.\u00a0 Magic.<\/p>\n<p>I particularly love the twist four minutes in, where the song seems to be tapering off, only to return for a final brain-blowing one minute jam.\u00a0 There were involuntary noises of elation coming out of my soul.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Cryogen\u2019 is one of the best songs they\u2019ve ever done, referencing their earlier sound in a perfect mix with their contemporary style.\u00a0 It feels like this is the song I\u2019ve been waiting for from them for years, and I couldn\u2019t be happier.\u00a0 This one has me really excited for the new album which is coming out in June.<\/p>\n<p>I need a lie down now.
